Time for another dirt bike - which one to get for a short rider?

I think we should build you a custom bike from the ground up :D I've been looking a lot lately at snowmobile chassis and titanium is the way to go :cool:
 
No. Steel, aluminum, and plastic. I'm trying to find a way to build something similar to them. I think the pitster pro is a good start. Despite being made in China, they are supposed to be quite good.
 
I'd love to be able to ride like this someday. I know I never will, but it amazes me how much control he has on a bike that goes fast.

And after riding trials for a bit, I don't think I want a rekluse. I like having a clutch.

That's the beauty of the EXP Rekluse, you still have full use of the clutch, but also get the benefits of the Rekluse. :)

Can you still pop wheelies with clutch on an EXP Rekluse? What about pop-starting it?

Yes to wheelies, pop-starting it depends on the clutch. Hydro clutches like the KTMs, no, but cable clutches, you can adjust the rekluse out at the perch which allows you to pop-start it fine.
 
Awesome, that sounds like the best of both worlds. I think if I could lower your bike an inch or two it'd be ideal. Does your bike have an electric start?

That was a sweet bike.

It was a little tall. If I shaved the seat and jetted it, I think it'd be just right. That bike had the best handling and suspension of any bike I've ridden. Great smooth power too. I think jetting it would give more power on the bottom end.
 
we did jet it, and it does run great, i also lowered the rear by realeasing the rear spring pressure, I know it made the rear suspension very soft but for Hunter it work ok.
 
Did jetting it make a big difference in low end.power? I'll have to sneak by and ride it around the block to see if o need to build another one.
