What do I get for the next bike?

[anderson750]

You make me feel inadequate. You have put as many hours on this bike since January as I have on my 300 in a year and half.

 

[Cascadia]

You've got me beat by a lot. I may have more miles but less hours. jk. I have only put about 45 hours on my bike since I got it the day before Firebirds race, whenever that was.

 

[Tonkaman]

Wow you are really racking up the hours! That's awesome. I hope to be able to ride more next season

 

[jeeper]

I have put some pretty good hours on my KTM300. I went out to adjust my valves, but couldn't figure out how to get the valve cover off.

 

[Gravy]

Silly rabbit you can't adjust the valves on a chainsaw.

Ive put 270 hrs on my KX450 in the past three years(untouched) Im really hoping it dont cave in before November. anyone have a recommend for and engine rebuilder.

... Only Tyson and Greg might put more hours on two wheels.

I think I put 80-90 hours on my 990.... in the last week.

Picked up a new LED for night rides.
I'll fuss with a mount soon.

The LED's I put on my big bike are impressive, I went with a 30* flood light... I'm sure the one you got will be great for night rides.

I'll be interested in seeing the location & mount! Have you seen these? Looks like a neat way to integrate a light with a number plate...

 

[Gravy]

My tire was almost bald. Why throw it away before you have a little fun?

I still have 3 of the small LED lights that Deviant did a group buy on. I need to fab a bracket up for my 300.

My neighbors love me. I help them fix all their junk

Another 30 hours or so on the bike and I had another hot start issue during the Chimney Rock race....
Well I checked the valves tonight and the left exhaust was a bit tight so I went with a .010mm smaller shim
and both the intakes were tight too.
Right was at .165 went to a .156 and left was at .160 went to a .151 and I still need a bit more according to the feeler gauge....

I'm off to get some shims in the morning so I can do a test ride to make sure the bike AND mostly my broken finger is ready for the Yost race.
I won't race if the finger is not feeling good.

Sounds like I need to take the head in for some machine work.
I'll probably to a piston and timing chain too.

I highly recommend Lindsay machine in sandy

I second this. Skyler is great to work with.

I wish I had a 4 stroke.

Dirt Lab in North Salt Lake. Jessie Black is an awesome dude to work with.

 

[Gravy]

I went .150 on the right intake and .145 on the left.

Ride went ok. I think I'll be alright for the race.
Off to do new grips and air filter.

Bike ran perfect at the Raft River Enduro yesterday in Yost.

 

[Gravy]

Oh I slapped a new Atrax SX1 rear on before the Raft River Enduro in Yost.
