The upcoming moto ride/quick report.

[Rot Box]

I’ve never been but my friends all have snow bikes and they say it’s too much fun. I’ll have to tag along one of these times.

I got to do a quick ride on a 22 yz450fx with the new TSS shock, Trio front and 22 Riot 129" 3" paddle and I shouldn't have... Now I'm having expensive thoughts. It was so much fun. It climbed so good. And had so much power!

Don't do it unless you are ready to buy.

Guess where I got to ride yesterday!
It was amazing.

I’ve been daydreaming about Dumont dunes all afternoon! I haven’t been since New Years 1993…. So it’s been a minute 😂

Any issue riding a Utah street plated dirtbike off-road in California? I need to look into it further just wondering if any of you guys knew off the top of your head?

 

[Gravy]

I'm not certain. I think you've got to get a temp tag. I rode my 2015 two stroke in Johnson Valley without issue a few years ago but I know things have changed drastically for those guys.

 

[Gravy]

Rode in Bountiful yesterday. Very pretty. Sugar snow at the top.





Felt some clutch juddering and wasn't able to climb some hills so I quit early and headed back on a flatter route at lower RPMs. Near the bottom it started juddering and skipping at anything above half throttle and some load.

Turns out I smoked it. See how purpley the steels are?

 

[Tonkaman]

I imagine snow bikes just destroy clutches in no time. Is that accurate?

Riders destroy clutches. If you don’t use it, it will last forever

 

[jeeper]

This will solve the problem.

This will solve the problem.

A guy I work with bought a Husky 701 and plans to put a timbersled on it. I imagine that would be a hoot.

I think so. It's a lot of HP to turn the track.
I think it warped the plates since there's almost no friction material in the old oil.
Bike has less than 90 hrs total. I've done 27.5 hrs on snow in 3 seasons. And I change the oil every single ride.
I think the PO did 2 seasons. (The kit is a 2018 so this is the 5th season) Lots of WOT.


Basket is just starting to get polished. Can't hardly even feel the smooth spots with a fingernail so that's good.


I put a new competition duty clutch and EBC Heavy Duty (15% over clutch springs).


Heavier springs for more clamping force.

I personally have 3 buddies that are running Rekluses on their snow bikes and say they wouldn't ride them without them.

 

[Corban_White]

That's interesting. I hated the Rekluse on snow. I loved it on dirt and I didn't feel like swapping clutches every season so I kept it in, but I wouldn't put one in for the snow. Everywhere I rode if you were going slow enough for the clutch to disengage you were already stuck.

That makes sense to me.

I've installed 3 rekluses for snowbikes. 1 KTM 350, 1 Husky 501, 1 Kawi 450. The rekluses sure made loading the machine (the sketchiest part of ridding snowbikes) lots easier. I didn't feel like I needed one, but I think it comes down to rider skill and wallet.
I've truly only ridden with one in snow maybe 10 or 15 minutes combined and I've ridden maybe a dozen other bikes without.

I'll give you that, it was nice for loading.

Went riding with my finish carpenter and a few of his brothers and friends.

Warner valley on Friday and toquerville on Saturday. Little wet in a few spots but mostly perfect

I know I’m not the only one who has put their foot down only to realize there is no ground there.
