tehk posted:Has anyone else had a bike they were emotionally and financially attached to because they decided to keep it a decade past its prime? I imagine I am alone in feeling this way about a 'disposable' mx bike. Yes, I feel this way about my RV90. I will never sell it. I've sunk tons of money into it for essentially no reason other than I love it. I bought a $400 ignition for it, and the guy from the ignition company told me I'm the first person in the US to buy one for an RV90. I'm that crazy about it.

Bikes always run the best just before they blow up. Now that you have the piston off, does the crank move freely?

Small bikes own offroad I did offroad only from 7 years old till my early 20's, and never got bigger than a 360 Yamaha 2-stroke (which was too big). 250 is the sweet spot for woods riding. Competition motocross is another animal with another solution.

Zool posted:I wouldn't bother continuing to change the oil every ride. KTM recommends changing it yearly after all. That's a pretty small engine though, have you considered a 690? Same, its a two stroke, so any changeable oil isnt being exposed to runoff from combustion events unless something is very wrong with the motor.

cross-posted from the sumo thread since its equally applicableJim Silly-Balls posted:Anyone have any experience having a local dealer true spoked wheels? The rear rim on my DRZ is out of alignment with the hub, and you can see it wobbling on the bike. I honestly dont think its bent, just untrue. I tend to not trust local dealer mechanics, but dont really know where else to go? I have never trued a spoked wheel, and dont really feel like starting with the DRZ

HondaRider271 posted:(and it doesn't hurt to know how to fall safely) This. You wouldnt believe how many people start in dirt and never learn how to fall off the bike. Falling is part of riding dirt, and if you can control the fall you stand a much better chance of not getting hurt.

Cross posting from the questions thread where no one seemed to know the answer:Jim Silly-Balls posted:I have a brembo front master on my drz. It's the master off like every single disc ktm ever. It's specifically from a 2004 125sx, but came on the 250, 350, 450, 525, etc. As a follow-up to this, I cannot for the life of me find a rebuild kit for this master cylinder: http://www.oppracing.com/product_display/30784-brembo-oe-front-brake-master-cylinder-ps11-silver-wreservoir-wlever97 Mine is specifically from a 2004 KTM 125sx Google is of no help. KTM-havers, where can I find this?

Yerok posted:At least you're closer to the Bong Recreation Area than I am Jim. There's even less gently caress all dirt to ride by Madison and the MPD don't take too kindly to wheelies on the street. Really? I would have thought that since immediately west of Madison is no mans land, that there would be a decent amount of dirt riding to be found out there.

Sand is tricky at first because your brain tells you to slow down when the front wheel gets all wobbly and mushy, but you really need to treat sand like a liquid and your bike like a boat and get up on plane with some speed and things smooth out. Going slow in sand will just tire you the gently caress out.

Of course since it’s a push button start AND stick, you can’t just turn the key and quickly hide your shame. The stick needs to be in neutral, clutch depressed, brake on, etc. I got honked at like a motherfucker, an extremely shameful driving experience.
