    Utility/ small car hauler trailer build.

    Thanks for the feedback. I ran the boards to the tongue so it's easier to step over. It's a bit of a pain to step into the tongue then up over to get across or accessing the front of your load on most trailers. I'll probably build a front rail and throw on a bunch of tie downs on at least...

    Utility/ small car hauler trailer build.

    That's good feedback, I wish that wasn't a preconceived notion because they're much beefier and have brakes where most utility trailer do not. Plus they're 15" rims so any regular tire fits. Good feedback. I may do a front rail first or maybe just drop the price a little. I need my concrete...

    Another KX250 Project...

    And bang, new tires and a new SDG gripper seat (It was less work than reupholstery lol) And she's all done. I dunno what it is but 125's are so fun to ride.

    Another KX250 Project...

    Also I read Eric Gorr's performance manual and he talked about modifying your clutch basket by drilling holes in the fingers and inner hub valleys to get more oil to the clutch plates and keep them cooler and better lubed. It also has a paragraph on filing clutch baskets (so I guess this is a ok...

    Another KX250 Project...

    Then I rode it and the clutch felt grabby until it warmed up. Then this... Groovy... So I found a factory service manual and it detailed the allowable width on the clutch basket fingers and inner clutch hub and actually explained how to file out the grooves. (I always thought it was a...

    Another KX250 Project...

    This one wouldn't start, but had great compression and spark, so it was a risk but not a huge one. It's a 2000 but had a 2001 Mikuni TMX carb on it. I cleaned the carb and rejetted it and detailed the motor. Then got a new filter (because it was crusty) and inspected the reeds (which looked...

    Chain maintenance

    This. Or degreaser to clean. Motorcycle magazine also debunked the myth that WD-40 will ruin your chain's o-rings by soaking o-rings in WD-40 for a week or two and saw no degradation at all, so clean it with WD-40 if you like, just wax/ lube it after. I like wax better than lube, for me, it...

    Do you know what size fittings are on the nylon brake kit? I might could use that to replumb my dune buggy.

    JK Stock Suspension

    I need some stock JK stuff for a little project. I'm going to try to build a little linked axle trailer to put a couple dirtbikes on a pull behind my Subaru.

    Opinions are like jeeps............

    IMO: Any decent aftermarket shock in that quality range will cost more than $500. That sucker is sweet! Let see axle pics.

    Utility/ small car hauler trailer build.

    Mine is a little more like this one. http://www.ksl.com/classifieds/listing/43866633 I figured mine is a little bigger and beefier. $200 (+$96 tax) cheaper. Already has a spare mounted. Trailer brakes (where the Bubba's has none) and a 5200 lb alxe vs a 3500lb. Thanks for the info. I'll do a...

    Utility/ small car hauler trailer build.

    Do you guys think I'm priced too high? I tried to go lower-middle of the road on price, but haven't had much interest? Do you think adding bed rails might make it more attractive to a potential buyer?

    #yamaproblems : a rebuild thread

    Thanks, that means a lot to me. I got it in Provo so it's possible. I really enjoy restoring these bikes. It's a fun hobby that helps me afford my racing. It'd be a shame to see them go to the scrapyard or get parted out.

    Utility/ small car hauler trailer build.

    Ha thanks, that's the magic of the interwebs. This one went faster than my last trailer because I didn't get crazy and do angled cross-members. https://www.rme4x4.com/showthread.php?102544-Brand-New-Utility-Offroad-trailer&highlight=trailer I spray the boiled linseed with a weed sprayer and...

    Military tires?

    I had some Michelin XML's we ran on a f-150 crawler thing back like 9 years ago. We pulled the valve cores and ran them all week at EJS with zero psi. Only near the end of the week did they start softening up and working lol. I'd imagine these are similar.
