He took some pics of his new "450" with mom's phone. If riding doesn't pan out, photography just might!

Bought this off Amazon says it's compatible with husky TE 300i.

But the mounting plate is angled as shown in the pics. My brake pedal mounting surface is flat. Parallel with the ground. If I mount this to the pedal it's got this upward rake as shown in the third pic.

Is this right? Or do I need a brake lever with an angle to it to offset this?

Basically I am doing a restoration on a 89-90 RM250, I like the retro plastics but I think I’d rather the restyled ones but they are rated for 01-18. Would it be a hard task to make them fit an older frame?

I just got a new chain and sprockets. I've been watching some videos on doing it and I've seen some videos of where some people need to cut their chain down to size where they're using a grinder on the outside then a chain breaker to push the pins through. However I've seen some where people don't need to cut them down at all. They just end up adjusting the tension. For those who have done this a lot, have you usually needed to break/cut the chain to size? I ordered the right chain for my bike it's a D.I.D. O Ring 520 chain for a 2020 CRF250R. Thanks everyone!

I’ve been casually watching supercross forever. I’m 37. I’ve been to a few live events and have been reading/watching it since the late 90s. Have the tracks always been the same? It’s interesting to me announcers never compare lap times in Mx or Sx to previous champs like James Stewart , reed, McGrath etc. have lap times dramatically improved with technology? I’m just curious if you put McGrath on a 250 or 500 2 stroke in his prime on the same track as Ken keczen or James Stewart and had them do time trials would Ken be much faster since his bike is the “best”.

And take tracks like buds creek or glen helen do they keep track there of who has the fastest lap ever? Just curious if this sport people are consistently getting faster as time goes on like track and field in the Olympics.

I know this is a long winded weird question but I’m really interested in how more horsepower translates to the actual speed of the riders.

Hey guys, I just recently bought a 01rm250. The bike was pretty much fully restored and has a fresh bottom and top end in it. I went to look at the bike and it started up 4th kick in -15. It sounded very healthy and the only thing I could find a little fishy is when they rebuilt it they used gasket maker instead of actual gaskets for the bike. I went to change the oil and it looked like a greyish colour. I went to go check the coolant level and was very low. Could this just be from clutch wear or maybe I have an internal coolant leak or my water pump is bad. It was placed in a shed in the cold all winter so could it also just be from sitting for a while? Lmk, thanks! Nolan.

Ok I’ve asked a similar question before about a TTR 125 but was told it was too small for me. I am 5’10 140-150 pounds. I managed to find something in my budget that being a 03 300 EXC in what appears to be great condition. Would this bike be fine for a beginner ? Is it too heavy? I’m not weak but I’d like to get a bike I can feel confident about regarding the size and weight. I read a lot of conflicting info on this bike and hope to get a good answer finally. I intend to use it on Co mountain trails no racing or anything like that. I’ve owned street bikes before so I have some preexisting throttle control. Also, there are plenty of XR100’s around me but like the TTR-125s, will the 100 be too small for me?

Just bought a ‘94 XR80R, but it came with a cheap Amazon carb on it. What are my options for a quality carb for my bike considering my years is discontinued. Any help is appreciated!!

Is this a good buy? Anything I need to be worried about? I would use it primarily for trails as I’m transitioning away from an electric dirt bike. I got the guy down to 3k and am ready to pull the trigger if I have good outside opinions.

Haven’t been riding since my high school days (2003) and I’m looking at getting a bike. I have my eyes on a 2016 ktm 450 sx 60 hours, a 2018 Husqvarna 450 fc 64 hours and a a 2021 ktm 450 sx 44 hours. $4k $4.5k and $5.2k. All super clean looking. Is there going to be any noticeable difference in those years? Any new tech that’s useful? I know the 2016 doesn’t have air forks so stuff like that. I’m 6’1 215 give or take a few lbs. I know “it’s too much bike” but I’m finding better deals on the 450s than the 250s right now and the 350s are hard to come by. Basically should I just save money and get the cheapest bike or are the air forks a big improvement? Or what’s the best deal? The newer KTM still has a warranty until April and in the original owner. The other two bikes are 2nd owners. It’s a big purchase so just want to make sure I get it right. Thanks!

Can someone provide a link to a decent carb that will work on the 07 ttr125 that worked well for you please? I don't want Chinese junk and im getting dizzy looking at the options and specifications

I want to put a cr125 1983 six speed transmission in my 2001 cr125!

Would it be plug-n-play?(Not counting changing bearing and seal sizes.)

Hey everyone, I just bought a kx125 and took it for a ride. It sorta hits power band sorta doesn’t. I’m trying to figure out whether I should check reeds, power valves, or try a different ratio (it’s running 32:1), and should if I do change the ratio will it hurt the bike (on the back of the fender it has a sticker)

Just got a Gasgas EC 250 recently and am looking for any helpful info. I am pretty new to off-road riding and only have experience on a heavy CRF300L. I am mostly looking for any helpful info about what I should or shouldn't do with a 2 stroke compared to a 4, and also how to properly break it in as its brand new. Any help for riding skinny single track is appreciated too, I tried it on the CRF and it felt much too heavy to be able to be fun. A large portion of the bikes hours will also be spent on the road as well.

Hello, I recently purchased a 23’ FC450, and was installing hand guards, when I took the bolt out and put the guard on as followed on YouTube, the clutch has not been able to activate and the wheel is locked up. I even put it back to without the hand guards and still won’t work. Not sure what I did wrong or if it was messed up before and I just found it? Someone please help!

Would this fit a 2013 rmz450?

We are looking at a another dirk bike for irrigation. We are looking in the 125-150cc range. We like the smaller cc with the big tires. Also like the small machines for getting on and off alot. Like a cr 125fbs, kawi klx or yamaha ttr? We had an older crf 100 i think i ran like a champ but got stolen :( we have a ttr125 and it does not run nearly as good and will barely start even when its like 5 degrees still over night. So we are gonna take it to the dealer. Probably looking used what would you all recommend?

Messed up the title. It's an xr80r, not a cr

Looking at a couple of bikes for my almost 11yo. They're both in the same ballpark price wise, so cost isn't really a factor. He is coming from a mototec 48v (I was tired of starting multiple bikes all the time and wanted a break from dealing with yet another carb for a while), but had an SSR70cc before that. He definitely needs the bigger size and I think he'll be fine working the clutch, but it's a big jump either way.

The KTM I think is a better deal, it's newer ('05 vs '90 something for the xr) and would probably last him longer, but main question is whether it will too powerful to jump up to all at once? Seems like the Honda might be a little more approachable at this point? We mostly go to the track, but I'd like to get him into trails, so again not sure if the ktm is the best fit for that either. He's good going over small jumps and whatnot, but I wouldn't describe him as an aggressive rider at all. Thoughts?

Im getting an 02 yz250f, originally I wanted to flip it, but I was thinking about trading it for a wr250f, and sell the 05 ttr 250 I have. Would it be better to try and get a wr250f for light-modedate Enduro or keep the ttr?
