These are great until they break off. They add too much top-heavy to the valve stems if you are getting into nasty stuff. Just an opinion of course. I've had it happen twice but i'm no longer in the nice desert sands anymore either...............

I like my tera flex kit. Can't remember where i got it or what i paid. 40-50 bucks i think. https://www.4wd.com/b/tires-wheels/tire-wheel-accessories/tire-deflators/teraflex/_/N-clekfZ1z0rjfi?ecmp=p:bing_333809645_1223756789623855_4wd_dat-2328284591333066:loc-4094&s_kwcid=AL!7836!10!76484889039963!dat-2328284591333066:loc-4094&ef_id=XdfspQAAAJ4j6FBI:20191127030629:s

Stripped front axle nut-help please
hobiee replied to simicrintz's topic in Wheels, Tires, Chains & Sprockets
Just buy a new bike. Holy hell ! Be done with this madness already..... -
Honestly I find the big bike (1090) way more stable offload. Now the mindset to ride the big girl like my 500 is the tough part. Once I get going and loose myself in simply riding the big bike is easier in a lot of situations. I am nowhere near a big guy at 5-8 175 but I love to ride the 1090 offload. Granted I'm not going to do the double diamond single track on anything but my 200.

Shows how capable the big Ktms really are. The 1090 is even more so.

Dear 450 XCW Motor - I am Sorry to have been so hard on you.
hobiee replied to Bagstr's topic in Engine
I would never.............. In all seriousness I was only referring to the writers of said manuals. Not saying I agree with them at all. I will say that Mr. Bags took his bike to one of the best mechanics out there. Tim is good people and really good at what he does. -

Just reminding everyone about the maintenance intervals listed in the manuals. It is based on racing conditions. My 08 450 went 12,000 plus miles and 1500 hours and was still running strong when I sold it. Ask tim about it , I tried to blow it up and he laughed at me every time he looked at that bike. My 07 rfs motor had way more time on it than that but no hour meter so who knows......... My 15 500 had 600 plus hours and got piston and rings and sold at 800 plus hours not burning an ounce of oil. My 15 200 with 97 hours blew the motor completely because of bad gas so I'm thinking this was a major factor in the problem. Big pop pushes rings funny and at speed the ring instantly melts and grinds to cylinder. Bags motor was in perfect running condition and would have gone for many many many more hours without the help... Big bang theory I miss that show -
hahahahaha i know it was as was mine.

With all due respect,............... Cant we just go riding ?????? If we really want to talk physics and such, lets analyze the scrub and or cornering dynamics or the truth behind why my two stroke is better than my four stroke ????? 😁

A very inexperienced rider period. When your first instinct is to mash the rear brake you've lost just about every time. Riding way over his head in terms of speed and just about everything else. I will give him kudos for gear though, he walked away. Of course we all can comment on it watching from a comfy chair drinking red wine and typing.......................
-
Just ride it. It really needs nothing................... Of course that will never happen but seriously ride it ! Truly amazing bike.

My wacky friends on their KTM1090s near Tecate
hobiee replied to robertaccio's topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
Pretty sure the 1090 is going to become one of the greatest bikes of all time. Kinda like the following that the 950 super enduro has, all be it a far superior bike ! I never regretted selling a bike before but I miss that 1090. -

Honda Massively Expands the CRF Product Line
hobiee replied to PastaPilot's topic in Info About Motorcycle Brands & Models
I shot a bear this week that weighed in a 365 pounds wet. Can anyone tell me how much he would weigh dry without fluids ???? -
I love to see the difference in bike design philosophy on display right there. the way the Duc just walks away with all the torque and the Honda will real it in as the revs go up and then destroy it during the braking. only to have the torque kick back in and make up for it all over again. Riders on the edge, I Love It.

Not trying to be a stick in the mud but what good will it do to lock it all up if I can just walk up and pop the whole deal off the rear axel and walk off with it like a wheelbarrow. I’m just going from experiences. And as with anything I understand locks are for honest thieves. I’m in the carry it on my back or not at all group obviously.
