Great reminder! So is my "Rigger Tape" with bike hours Sharpie'd to it stuck to my consumables shelf! 😁

Front brake? Check! I only feel for the driver of the car.

What happened to the motor?

You'll put your eye out kid! 😉

Yep!

Wow! What scenery! Now I'm envious. 🙂

Oh boy!

I just love your new bike! Kudos! I enjoy the GT Fatty up front at 12psi it's pretty glued to the Earth! Great job Dan! Looking forward to seeing the back of your bike on the trail!

Great job Dan! You sold on the tire choice? I like the hints of Paul's favorite color preference! 🇦🇹

Very beautiful country!

Yes do this! They hold valve clearances very well.

I bow to the Master...Talk about hijacking a thread!

The Dude...

My filters are fairly new. So I may give some diesel a try and take the stuff to my friends auto shop for recycling. It's funny how in the old days we used our old engine oil to keep the weeds down around fences. Glad that "some" of Earths occupants are starting to change their ways! Go Earth!

Okay guys, I am a convert. I just ordered the No Toil Green bottle filter oil and the A&H Super Washing Soda. So to get my filters free of the tacky BellRay stuff that I have been using, what is the best way to do so? Respectfully, The Green Mule

Just used Tide it works great!

Welcome Nick!

Just flipped back my wavy long hair!

Come on! Missing the elephant in the room! It's the camera's fault! Someone is bound to get hurt if there is a woman watching or if a video camera is running! 🤣

Oil tends to foam in the stock RFS "hydraulic cam chain tensioner" at high RPM. Obviously foam allows the tensioner to compress thus loosing tension on the cam chain. Yes, the extra cost of "lab created engine specific" oils like 20/60 4T Motorex is worth it in my opinion. Many will disagree and that is fine. Though why in southern California would any engine require a 5W oil? 5W is designed for Minnesota in mid January. Just does not make sense to me. If you want cheep oil to put in your 12 year old engine then at least start your weight rating as close to 20W as possible. Here is a good option to quiet the engine cam chain noise and vibration in my experience; I have used this DJH version for a few years with quiet results and less cam chain vibration. https://www.ebay.com/i/123458420674?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=123458420674&targetid=543737969966&device=c&adtype=pla&googleloc=9030960&poi=&campaignid=1497308096&adgroupid=59509629482&rlsatarget=pla-543737969966&abcId=1139476&merchantid=6296724&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0ezVvLeU4wIVTF8NCh0Mjg7CEAYYASABEgLkoPD_BwE

No front brake! Engine braking and be easy.

Congratulations! As stated before check the CS Spline Shaft. KTM no longer makes a replacement. I purchased a good used CS just in case. My 07 450 exc pounded out 12K miles before I rebuilt. Check lower shock bearing. Manual cam chain tensioner being installed helped my engine out from oil foaming scenarios getting chain slack. Just Enjoy having a fine machine! . Oh Motorex makes a great oil just for RFS bikes 20/60 weight (no oil thread jokes please). https://www.motorex.com/en-us/moto-line/motor-oil/ktm-racing-4t-sae-20w60/

Like the shirt logo, just have a question about the "shut up" part... I was taught not to say that 😏 If it was up to me...which it is not, I would say something more in the line of "Ride or Die.. It's not a choice"
