i bet... what better place to practice than the location of the class. Nice!

Whoa buddy, nobody should pay me anything for what i know... ;) I'd be happy to go out and pass along some of the info I learned, but it shouldn't be a substitute for taking a class by someone that really knows their stuff and can apply it really well. I'm planning on spending an hour or two...

We spent probably two hours just on long hill climbs. You were allowed a shorter and shorter approach until you had none. Sometimes, we'd have to stop and start on the hill where you'd have both brakes locked to keep from sliding down. You'd be surprised just how much traction the rear tire...

Yes, definitely was worth the $$$. I definitely walked away with better skills just because of the experience of being there and going through what he puts you through. However, its all about practicing now...

oh boy, no pressure there... :rolleyes::D

Damn, we covered alot and it wouldn't be difficult to pass most of it along either. It comes down to tons of practice and dropping your bike alot. Of course, taking the class would be ideal, but let me know if ya wanna go out to 5 mile and go over some stuff, as I'll be out there alot just...

I'll be at one of his clinics this Friday and Saturday with my brother and nephew. I'll let you guys know how it goes and what is covered.

Awesome! You resisted for a long time, but finally came over to the Euro side. Greg on a KTM running a bib mousse... Love it! :D

I have no idea how many will be showing up or where we will be riding, but be out there ready to ride at 5:00. We're all parking at the main area on the south side of the highway. If you need to get ahold of me for any reason, call 801-718-8452. Von

Sorry for the late reply, I just barely saw this... FWIW, I have adjustable pegs that I've set at the lowest point (approx. 1/2" down). I'm 6' tall and most of my height is in the legs, not torso, so the lower pegs have been a good thing for me. To answer your question, i haven't noticed an...

BTW, unless you're gonna get fancy with a weld-in tranny pan bung for the gauge probe, you'll wanna locate it in-line between the tranny and the inlet to the stock cooler. This will give you the most accurate reading. FWIW, when weighing factors of cost, quality, and matching the stock...

Last fall, I installed a stacked plate type (approx. 11"x11") cooler on my '02 Taco and kept it running throught the factory radiator cooler. I have seen no issues, but when its really cold it takes a bit longer to shift for the first mile or so. From my research, a fan on the cooler is...

Yup, the 300 seems to be the swiss army knife of bikes (and I still haven't had the opportunity to ride one!). If dual sport was thrown in to the mix, then my pick would be the 450 or 500 XCW (or EXC) KTMs. Either would make great all-around bikes.

I've been running bib mousses up front since '08 and I love 'em. However, I wouldn't run one in a plated bike that sees alot of hwy. use. They develop "soft spots" from hard hits that are noticeable when on smooth surfaces or pavement. I'd just run ultra HD tubes front and rear and call it good.

Sure thing, anytime...

Thats gonna be a sweet bike Caleb! I was invited to join a 4 person team for this year's Baja 1000 (still deciding if they're a good "fit" for me or not), and the plan is to buy a 500 XCW then sell it after the race. I'm looking forward to riding one. Everything i've read says they are the...

Elaborate gaant charts are the norm at my work. :ugh:

Did I see you bust out "Gaant chart" earlier in the thread? Engineers...:rolleyes::greg:

Good info... and that makes sense. My buddies that have sent theirs in have been the original owners.

I've had a v1 and currently have a v4 and neither had "play" from center. If all the related hardware is tight and you're getting this kind of movement, I'd call GPR up and plan on sending it in for a rebuild. I don't believe they charge for a rebuild either.
