What I did was probably overkill but it's all I had to work with. I pulled out some old guitar and stereo gear. All stuff I had laying around, nothing fancy, and went something like this: 1 - cheapie microphone from radio shack 1 - fairly decent sure microphone 2 - microphone boom stands...

Heat cycling occurred to me to. It's the first thing I learned when rebuilding my 2-strokes. I used the street method over a couple days to get to the 200 mile mark and made sure not to approach redline until well over 600. How many miles have I got? I'm not sure, I maybe have @ 7K on my...

Is this the site you were thinking of? http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm I tried the method on my max. No problems yet. I think I'm due for a valve adjustment and I'd like to do a compression check just to see how things are. Any one here do their own valve adj?

I have done some friendly MX racing at the local tracks. I'm not too far from the Spring Creek MX park that holds the AMA outdoor national pro motocross race each year. Round nine this year I think. Fun place to ride. Having some offroad experience can be a big advantage on the road, I think...

I'll have what he's having. Make it a double!

Here is a couple tid bits I read. Wasn't sure how it would relate to a MC application: Better Tire Pressure Retention - nitrogen migrates through a tire 3 to 4 times slower than air. It may take 6 months to lose 2 psi with nitrogen compared to less than a month with air. Enhanced fuel...

Just wondering if anyone here has used nitrogen for tire inflation. I thought I saw a couple auto shops around here offering it. I don't know of any motorcyclists running it though.

Needing something to puts with this evening I pulled out some of my old mics and recording equipment and made a stereo mix of my pipes. The mics are old and of different makes so the L/R are a bit off in quality. I don't think I've heard a stereo exhaust mix online before:Shocked: Thought it...

Eazrider, I am running an aftermarket HMF exhaust http://www.hmfengineering.com. Not much info that I have found on their site though. I purchased mine through Tucker Rocky. Others have bought them from Blue Ridge Mountain SportMax: http://www.rmsportmax.com under the alias of "2D9S". To...

I picked mine up from K & N Motorcycles. Before I had aquired my VMOA discount unfortunately... http://www.knmotorcycles.com

Being a rookie with the carbs I was wary about drilling the slides, though I am considering it again. I'm not too keen on the idea of having to buy new slides if I don't like the results and I'm not sure what to expect. I really don't mind the throttle response the way it is. I mostly cruise...

For discussion that may or may not be about VMax The Coffee Shop fits the bill. I'd agree it's pretty generic. The Pit Stop? Other forum ideas, how about: * Trackside - Race info, 1/4 times, setup etc. * Dyno Lab - post your set up and results... Just throwin stuff out there.

Yeah, I put the Stage 7 on with the pipes. I left the v-boost intact, stock springs/slides, DJ needles/jets, and added a t-boost switch for 3k boost. I'm getting pretty good gas milage @ 40mpg +/- depending. I'm thinking of having it dyno'd this year just for fun and check my carb tuning. I may...

Took the bike out for the second ride so far this season. At a stop light a guy in a cage sitting next to me rolled his window down and asked about the pipes, "those stock?" he asks. After explaining they were not he asked for a rev. I obliged with a quick snap of the throttle. Got a thumbs up...

Can you see me now? Good...:)
