Re: 2007 450 KTM EXC Rejuvenation August 2015

I put a hole in the case on mine. Really turned into a mess and the JB Weld never did quite work out. My brother, kc here on the forum, put a hole in his case on a ride down in Arkansas. He patched it with JB Weld in the parking lot of our cabin. It not only held for the rest of the ride, it lasted...

I'm not sure how grandma got that thing so dirty just riding to church on Sundays. Weird.

Re: RideForum meetup at...

I've never owned an RV or camping trailer of any kind, and I really don't even camp all that much, BUT..based on the experiences I've had, I think for my little family and my motorcycle adventures, that Jayco Baja 10Y would be what I'd want...if I were to get anything. Between that and my truck bed,...

In that photo, Carl, you can't tell how bent that rear subframe is. Almost looks like you got a good bike there. 8)

Re: 2007 450 KTM EXC Rejuvenation August 2015

I sent my 500 EXC suspension off to be rebuilt today. Was super easy to remove the forks and shock. Not to hijack a thread (Troy please don't ban me again, something about being referred to as a previous member..) but can I ask where sent your suspension off to and some detail on what exactly you a...

Re: 2007 450 KTM EXC Rejuvenation August 2015

I am having fun with it and haven't even started it. It does run, right? :? Do you remember riding it up and down my street when you bought it? :D Speaking of suspension it seems the 450 has considerable "stiction". My guess is that you simply are not used to how stiff the suspension should be on a...

Re: 2007 450 KTM EXC Rejuvenation August 2015

Looks nice and clean! I seriously beat the hell out of that bike, and Carl knows it. I gave him a pretty good deal, but he's got a lot of work ahead of him to get it back into good shape. That bike is a great bike, and I hope he gets a lot of great miles out of it. It was hard for me to let that on...

Re: 2007 450 KTM EXC Rejuvenation August 2015

35 or 40 lbs is great for testing if they hold air, but for rocky single-track, you want closer to 15 lbs in those tires. Some guys run even lower--especially if they are running trials tires. I usually run 20 in the front and 18 in the rear on the trail. Some of the guys I run with think that's too...

Self-editing Helmet Video?

THE GREAT THING about go-anywhere, do-anything cameras like the Go-Pro is they capture everything. The bad thing about go-anywhere, do-anything cameras like the Go-Pro is they capture everything.

I'm IN to watch this transformation!

I have the manuals, stock exhaust, and spare air filter whenever you can come get them. :D

Re: Anyone riding dirt this weekend?

..was out to Perry Monday last week, finally saw all of it, but there where times I wish maybe I hadn't. Was greasy back in the woods, along with the roots, made for some challenging riding, specially chasing someone's easy ride 500 KTM with the cheater clutch setup. Oops, did I just say that? I ca...

You live there. You ride a lot. You've NEVER ridden at Randolph?! :shock: You can have a lot of fun there on a motorcycle. Although it's designed for big 4WDs, I think it's more fun than Perry Lake on a motorcycle.

Re: October 9-11 Razorback Riders present Rally @ The Rock

Oct. 7 is the date my surgeon has given me the OK to ride again. Recovery has been slow but Oct. 9 sounds pretty good to me. Keep me posted! And Troy you have the perfect bike for this. I think I hate you. I do have a perfect bike for this event. It was also the perfect bike for a week of single-tr...
