Unlike my motor. Never enough compression

 

Got rid of the old bomb prank gif huh?

 

yes, I changed it to this whenever I got a short ban

 

LOL

We've all been there.

Hit a deer this evening while I was on the bike:



Side swiped her on a trail at what i'm asuming was at least 40mph. I was in 4th gear and had just set a wheelie down. Couple of kids behind me with no lights on their dirt bikes followed by another kid on a four wheeler with his lights on so they could see. I don't know any of them. They just pulled over when they saw me fly up behind them and decided to follow me around. I came out of a bend, clutched up a wheelie and set it down. Then cracked the throttle again to clear a mud puddle at speed. There she was with her little one. She tried to run out in front of me from the right side of the trail and couldn't accelrate to get away from the bike so she tried to cross the road. I burried the right fork and bars into her kneck and shoulder. She smashed my right leg and went tumbling into the ditch. I never left the rut i was in. Just kept on going to the next clearing. The kids were just far enough behind me that they thought I had just missed her. I told them no, I full on tackled her with it.

I finished out the trail and they went off to head home. I continued on a near by road and figured i'd stop and switch my goggles out to my clear ones before it got dark. Stopped in front of an older gentleman's house and he made sure i was alright. I told him what hapened and he told me just how lucky I was. He said his brother in law totaled a bike a few wheels ago when a deer jumped out in front of him.

There is video of all the blood and hair on my bike on instagram






I'm just glad those kids let me go ahead or one of them could've hit her and gotten seriously hurt.

I didn't know what I was doing at the time, it was all instinct. I just didn't want her to buck me off the trail and down the 30ft hillside into the creek.

As she ran up the hill away from me it looked like she had a burn mark on her side from my header. I'm just glad i didn't hit her little one. I know they are tough but god damn.

 

Finally got all the blood and hair off

 

Someone has a 4runner and this bike

Something wrong with your carb, or just looking for the upgrade?
And just read about the 4 legged collision... glad you came out ok

@AR15xAR10

 

Too much money for one that rough and no boots/cables

 

The jetting i've done in my stock carb has never felt 100% right. It works. Registers fine on my spark plug when i read it. But i'm still wanting more.

Thanks dude, that was scary for sure

 

What do you think it's the problem? Did you do the jetting yourself?

 

I did all the work on this bike myself, other than brake line instalation.

Part of the problem is I ride between 600ft-3000ft and i ride from 20degrees to 105degrees.

So i've messed with the idle mixture screw several times and have it at 2.5 turns now. Sometimes i have a dead spot in the middle of the RPM range. At WOT everything is always fine. But lug it in 2-3 or 4th and just wind it through either of those three gears, it feels like the fuel delivery is not perfect.

Also, ever since i put these big heavy knobbies on, it struggles to go much faster than about 90.

 

Mine never went that fast. It was stock though with stock gearing.
