How to ride a heavy bike
Ptkatoomer replied to Zubb's topic in Motorcycle Safety, Training & Riding Schools
OK, so your son definitely has the skills (shoot, I'm trying to learn how to do it on my 350!) But, what about you...... . No vid, no proof, didn't happen. -

Talking about the apparent stiffness, didn't they address that in'25? I know they did several things but maybe the newer engine mounts would work on the earlier models to help with that? -

When I think about how much time and thinking has to go into staging a lot of those shots....my hats off to them. Geesh, I wouldn't have the patience - I just want to ride! -

Tire/Mousse choice FYI for hard trail ride
Ptkatoomer replied to robertaccio's topic in Equipment & Technical Forum
If the required speeds stay below 30mph I don't think you'll notice but you'll for sure notice the additional traction. I've run the plushie with an IRC VE33S Gekotta(semi gummy) for the Tecate enduro andthought it worked great. -
Flat Track Has Jumps! Who Knew?

Must be a crowd-drawing thing? I mean, it is called FLAT track. -
I'd like to know how they got that one bike out of the tree down the side of that hill!

Carburetor vs Fuel Injection - Think Again?
Ptkatoomer replied to Goofy Footer's topic in Fuel - Coolant sytems
All I know is that when I take my yearly trip to Colorado to see the kids and I only have one day to ride, it's been great since I got my KTM 300 tpi. Now I don't have to try properly jetting the carb: even using a JD Jetting kit my bike wouldn't run right and I didn't have the time to try and figure it out. With the tpi bike you just GO. And I've been carrying a Micro-start jump starter in my backpack though I haven't had to use it yet in 3 years. I did jump-start a guys car at the campground once with it though. -

I've got a '16 KTM 350 EXC-F that I got virtually new less then a year ago. Since then I've put about 600 miles on it. I was draining the coolant to install some radiator guards and the coolant was dark, almost like coffee. Is this from engine oil getting in there? I must confess I only ever check the level by taking off the radiator cap, but I've never noticed any significant drop or weird color just looking in there. I then changed the engine oil and it was very dirty and somewhat low but not milky or anything like that. Are the 2 seals to the waterpump impellor the only way that something foreign could get into the coolant system? Does coolant get "dirty" like engine oil over time?

I don't have an adventure bike, but maybe one day...... I like watching all these vids because it gets me fired up about wanting to try it. Maybe I relate more to him becuase my background is all off-road and liking the technical stuff. This was another one of his videos I really enjoyed:
