Yes your better half is in my class and I mean better half! Hmm, I get that a lot. Not sure whether it is a compliment for her or an insult for me. :? I wish my wife was more interested in motorcycles. Now you will have a garage full of bikes. Yeah, but she wants a Harley. I'll probably go broke fr...

Daryl, you headed to Maple Woods for this class? My wife is taking the class this weekend. I told her to keep an eye out for you.

reddof- here is the jist of what safiri offered, i did the carb vent mod but im leaving the crankcase breather-as i plan to submerse this in DEEEEEP water! I assumed I would hit deep enough water at some point that I didn't want to leave it disconnected either. I can't imagine it'll make that much ...

Did you get a new battery yet???? I'm going to grab the battery as soon as more funds are available (7/1). I'm not planning any more rides (further away than my backyard at least) until then anyway. It is running even better after the last set of modifications I did on Monday night. I think the idl...

hey michael, thanks for the info. i emailed safiri and he sent along some good info too. im heading out to remove the canister now! If Safiri sent anything that you think would be useful to me would you mind forwarding it along. I was hoping that if I had posted anything that was too incorrect that...

Also, I used this link as a guide and adapted it for the newer bikes. Most things are very similar.

Hey Joe, This is Michael. I met you down at Links 2 weeks ago and I have the 2010 450 EXC. It sounds like we are doing the exact same things to our bikes at nearly the same time. I spent last night ripping all this stuff off my bike using these exact pictures and another couple links I found. After ...

As Troy and Mike already said the class was amazing. Shane is not only a great rider but he is perhaps an even better teacher. The biggest problem I see is that I got a lot of information in a very short time. The four of us are having trouble remembering everything to put it in the notes! Most of t...

safiri wrote:I would hike it. I have mountain biked Porcupine Rim out in Moab which would appear to be similar, so I would MTB it. But on a MC? Not.

Agree. I can see walking it and maybe even MTB, but doing that on a motorcycle is just crazy. Fantastic view though.

I agree with this sentiment, but would clarify that I still think we should do what is possible to cause as little disruption as possible. I don't like going out and riding trails in the middle of nowhere only to see beer cans and Taco Bell wrappers tossed all over the place. I appreciate the natura...

Wow. Just wow. I don't even know what to say. That was just amazing. About halfway through I started thinking that he died there with his bike and somebody else came along and discovered the camera.

I took my 3 boys (ages 9, 7, and 4) to go see this on Saturday. There were 10 riders and they started the show by all of them riding/jumping at the same time. There were 4 ramps and at any given time there might have been 6 people in the air. That went on for a couple minutes and then they did the c...

Sounds like an interesting episode...too bad I don't get that channel.

Well did you get it???? First ride thoughts/impressions? As I mentioned above I ordered a switch from Sicass racing and in the catalog they sent are several seat options for KTM. You might want to check them out. Yep, I got it home on Wednesday evening. I have 9 acres so I'm able to have some fun w...

For me "necessary" means hand guards, skid plate (thick Aluminum one with wings out to the sides to protect the side engine cases), and a GPS 12V DC hookup coming up to the handlebars from the battery. Yeah, it comes with a pretty cheap looking plastic skid plate that I can't imagine is going to ho...

I've got a '07 450 EXC that I use for dualsporting and love it. Larger fuel tank, tall seat, changed gearing (1 tooth smaller counter), hand guards, radiator guards, skid plate, etc. I'm in Platte City, if you want to look, e-mail me at clfarren5944@gmail.com Also have a KLR but it's a street bike,...

Have you considered a Husky TE250 or TE310? Yeah, I looked pretty long and hard at the TE310. It might have been a pretty good fit but there were a few things that turned me off. The lack of local dealership is a bit of a disappointment, plus there seems to be a smaller aftermarket. Neither is a re...

An intelligent discussion of the Entrosys system is found here! http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/entrosys-motorcycle-air-conditioning-and-heating-system-now-taki/ Yep, Engadget is where I originally saw it. I assume by intelligent, you had this comment in mind I actually invented something that a...

Relevant threads with rubber-hits-the-road experiences. I've read at least some of these posts before. Right now, I'm not interested in fighting with the DMV on this purchase and am only looking at what comes from the factory ready for tags. If I can't find anything that meets my criteria then I mi...
