Coffee and this write up made for a great Saturday morning thank you man!

Starving for air? Filter? Or fuel? Petcock ok? Petcock filter? Fuel line kinked? Gas cap vent not venting? intake boot? did you do some maintenance recently? Could timing be off?

Just a headsup because that’s really a plan changer, and a bummer: trail between ojos and uruapan is now completely off limits. Plan accordingly. Personal experience: it has been on and off with new gates and ranchers allowing access for the past couple years, but this past weekend it’s all solid locked. Had a good chat (I’m fluent) with the first rancher just south of ojos. This guy is ok and has been letting us through (he just dislikes sxs and yahoos) but the issue is further south. A new association (the whole ejido came together apparently) built new big gates at the bottle neck down the canyon, locked and no access granted. He explained this new coalition is dead set on not allowing access to everyday sport riders. Infamous hector is involved, money, politics.. whatever the case the trail is done for and that’s shitty news

Im def no guru but I do have this tank on a 2006 525 and have used it both with stock 2006 seat and seat concept as well. Here is a pic is with the 2006 seat concept.

Real good. Hero dirt allowed us to climb pretty close to the bunkers coming from the bottom canyon the other day, but ran out of daylight (ok, talent).. do you get out after work or?

found some made out of jersey material resistant enough?

Weekday thing probably. Today that area was empty of construction anything

make my beloved steelie even happier plz

I saw that a little while back and as a yz250 owner I feel This much money would be best invested elsewhere (wide ration transmission for instance, if like me you ride trails or desert). But maybe I’m the wrong guy to chim in since it doesn’t take much to make me happy. Love this thing!

Ohhh damn good reminder it’s been too long, might plan a quesadilla run soon as well!!

What ridges? I had my eyes closed the whole time ah! Eventful fun weekend thanks tom for putting this together and to all for making us feel welcome, my teens had a great time. Good seeing old faces and meeting new ones, till next one!

I would try “The tag shop” in El Cajon. They’ve been pretty good at finding ways around dmv issues for me. Good luck.

not sure I would call that their use of the file system; Aren’t we all here for content? Maybe another way of looking at it is top posters are fueling the forum and should be rewarded to post? thanks for your time/work.

Is there a petcock at the bottom of the right side of tank?? Bottom side Looks lower than carb

👍🔧

I just rebuilt one and have no idea what I’m doing but did a lot of reading. Did you thoroughly take it apart (including mid body section!), clean every single hole (this carb has a LOT of them), and replace all gaskets including the round “pressure” gasket on the slide, Then jd jetting kit, float level, then in theory it purrs? I wasn’t much help with a shop to send it to sorry, or probably anything else

Screw it im in on my kid’s bmx

I think you’re talking about skyline? I first noticed it closed myself trying to ride the snow a couple winters ago during covid and I don’t think it re-opened since.. bummer cuz it’s a nice area.

I m on light duty unfortunately but might be out there Saturday for some chill time and a few light loops on a light bike. Are you parking the chester at your usual spot?

Kennedy meadows. Right up your alley man..

Pretty sure smuggling and accidents happen up the 5 as well, are they closing that too? I stay off the main rd when I ride there but I can tell there’s definitely been more SxS there pre-running for the 1000 lately. Bummer.
