The 2-stroke thread

4:40 in, nack nacks that little turd like it's nothing. God I miss the track.

Out in the dez, trying to keep up with my buddies on their 250's is how I used to ride my 125, but never to the point like the above video.....

 

Looking for advice on a set of tires for an RM125. I never hit the track, just woods and a little sand. Trying to stay on the cheaper end of things but I don't want something garbage

 

Once you get off this mentality your rides will change. You dont skimp on tires.

 

I stick to this mentality^^^, although one of the guys I ride with runs Artrax tires and loves them. He's a consistent top 5 finisher in most of the harescrambles we run. Still can't get myself to give them a try though.

 

Placed 9th "B" OA in Nationals yesterday, went better than last time, next race should be top 3!

The factory Kawi 450 ran like a dream, but I started to get fatigued a little bit, we cant have that!!! But being 118lbs and riding a 240lb bike in National Hare and Hound is no joke!
I need to start actually training again to win. But still was a good day.

Just my race report.

And try those Atrax tires you will be surprised!!!! DO it.

 

God damn you are a tiny little fucker Jason.

 

Yep, I got my genetics from a Chihuahua!
5'6" and hollow bones and race in Hvwt class.

Bring it!

At one time when I lifted every day I was up to 163lbs. I used to weigh about 140 normally, now I am 118. Haha! Still pretty strong though.
You would be surprised...I can pick my 450 up completely off the ground!

Gonna put some more meat on my bones, I need some more muscles. Ever since I broke my left bicep I havent worked out since last May.

But working as a tech/fabricator and racing and riding every weekend keeps me in pretty good shape, but when racing against the pros I gotta be in Stellar shape.

I'm ripped as fuck though. When I take my shirt off I have a hard time dodging all the panties flying at me!

 

hahahah gettin them racer chasers after you huh?!

 

Yeah but my wife swats them all down, dont even get a sniff.

 

i wouldnt touch half of them with a ten foot stick.. haha

 

Yeah but what about the other half!

 

Hey good job man! Sounds like a ton of fun.


Here's what I did this weekend



May or may not have set the world record for worlds fastest swingarm swap trying to beat the rain. Rain won...no riding for me. Hopefully the weather clears and I'll be able to get a few hours in this week.

 

Pretty badass lookin machine. I don't know of any of these in the country but there may be one soon


Wtf that's my bike. Was supposed to be a pic of the Sherco factory bike

 

Whats up, you guys know a good bit about old ass 2 strokes?

I got a yamaha rd250 with reed valves.

 

Anybody running tubeless tire setups like the Nuetech Tubliss or Bib Mousse?

 

I know they're a sonofabitch to change and if you're a pretty good woods rider they don't last long. The bib is at least. A friend of mine had some kinda of tubeless setup he tried a couple years ago and didn't like it. I'm thinking it was an inflatable band that sealed around the spokes. You could always get a tubeless wheel and lace it to your hub

 

Where are the beni's of running tubless on dirtcycles? I get it for downhill and pedal, but how does this benefit moto?

 

If you're hard on equipment, like most woods riders, you don't have to worry about a flat. I don't think many motocross racers run them. But I know of a lot of enduro and gncc guys that do run bibs or balls. My rear tire on my Sherco is tubeless which let's us get down pretty low on air pressure. I run 3.5-4.5lb in the rear. Usually around 5 in the front but it's not tubeless

 

Yeah i've heard that as well, I'm pretty sure the Nuetech is like that. Some kinda band that locks the bead in place and allows you to run various pressures with no tube issues.
