Lagunas after the rain
Badfish2 replied to Honda90's topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
Looks like you and your boys had a good day riding! Now, about the sputtering at WOT, a change to a smaller main jet would be the first thing to consider but you must be running relatively rich at sea level also since a 5000' elevation difference doesn't usually require rejetting. Check your plug or better yet put in a new one and do a couple of WOT runs and assess the plug color (try to use gas that doesn't contain ethanol, although that's nearly impossible these days). -
San Diego to Cabo San Lucas ( Dirt )

Looks like you had a great trip! Glad it went smoothly. -
CID, any update on your recent surgery? I am scheduled to have a total hip replacement on 2/19 and would be very interested to hear how your doing.
-
Did you rebuild the XR400 motor yourself? If so did you document the process? I'd be interested to see.

Don't mess with Roger. I love it! He sent a huge message to all the organizations that he is in charge and if you F with him you're done.

TRAIL WORKERS NEEDED @ Corral Saturday 2-18-12
Badfish2 replied to mctrails's topic in Adopt a Trail and Other Trail Maintenance Issues, Volunteer Trail Days, etc.
Good info, Sidi's are the next boots I am going to consider. That is, if my SG10's every wear out. -
TRAIL WORKERS NEEDED @ Corral Saturday 2-18-12
Badfish2 replied to mctrails's topic in Adopt a Trail and Other Trail Maintenance Issues, Volunteer Trail Days, etc.
I believe Tech 10's are one of the lightest boots out there. I know they are lighter than the SG10 I have. I would be interested to know what are the lightest boots without giving up the protection of the higher end boots. -
I know when I tried to join the first time, I got no response for several weeks and then re-registered and was approved in a few days. If the intent is to "hand pick" members, then the current process is fine, but it is a little different than most website registrations. This is only my opinion.

Two stroke oil build up in the engine leads to fouled plug
Badfish2 replied to Beezzz's topic in Equipment & Technical Forum
This is an age-old issue with an infinite number of opinions but my experience has shown you need to pick a ratio to run and then jet for it. Do not adjust your ratio based on anticipated riding conditions, rather, make jetting adjustments. Trail riding is typically 40:1 to 50:1. I understand there are people who run 100:1 ratios but that is a little oil lean for me. Also, if you are running any type of spark arrestor (which you should be) eliminating "spooge" out the pipe is nearly impossible due to the reduced velocity of the exhaust gassses within the silencer. These are my opinions only. -
Steel - What was done to the suspension. Revalve, new springs, new fluids? I thought when i read suspenders original post that he was offering preventive maintenance service only. It sounds as though he tuned your suspension with different internals, is this correct?

Can this be welded?
-
Isn't there a member here that goes by screen name 'MetalTwister' and has a welding shop in Spring Valley? Maybe I'll try him.
-
Thanks for the info. I've never seen that XRsOnly bracket, that may be the way to go if I can't find a used crankcase cover.

Lets See Your Man Caves!

I hate you!!! (that sounds more manley than 'My wife won't let me have a mancave and I'm totally envious of yours) -
Ocotillo Wells to Havasu, April 22 - 24

Great report! I love the description of "family day" at the canal. -
B Day Ride with My Bro
Badfish2 replied to firematt's topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
Happy birthday Matt! -
I agree with this ^. I bought a used, non KTM bike from RJ and found him and his shop wonderful to deal with. On a side note, most dealerships ream you on nitrogen charges because, although it's necesary for them to have that equipment, just the time involved in having a employee fill a shock bladder is more than $10. The best deal I have found is at Lee's cycle on Areo Dr.; they charge $5 and you wait less than 15 minutes for the refill.

Helmet Lighting - I'm amazed, at the cheap priced Cyclops LED
Badfish2 replied to JohnnyAirtime's topic in Equipment & Technical Forum
After having the light for a few days, Johnny, do you have any photos of its light output? Does your battery get warm (or hot more exactly) during usage or when charging?? I have been looking at a similar light called "magicshine" from a company in AZ. and wondered if you really like the Cyclops. -
Gone.
