General Two Stroke Talk / TSM at Unadilla

I live in Rancho Cordova, That is the town that the Hangtown national (Prairie City park) is in, Not Sacramento like the idiots tell you on TV.
I live 12 minutes from the track. When I race there at the local races I go home between motos to wash my bike, take a shower and eat lunch.
I will see you there in 2014!

I but also had Bush's $4k tax break - that because (like all Bush plans) was not thought out well and allowed all the dealers to cash in on all the bikes delivered and then sell the Zero at less than $6k.

Hahahaha, say it isn't so, a politicians plan that was not thought out well. I could add a few to that from the buffoon that's making plans now.

Technical / 2002 yz250 running problems, higher gears

« on: July 23, 2013, 12:42:47 PM »

My son just did this to his 250SX.
It ran fine, low, idled great
When he did the top end, he clocked the PV incorrectly. Everthing looked right, ran right but no power as it revved. He has a shop manual and looked at a friends bike to compare but once he saw the problem it was, No ****. I think he had it 180 out??
I remember reading something about making sure the piston is TDC when you hook it up, but don't hold me to that. I will try and find it.

General Two Stroke Talk / Emig-WTF??

Yes, I know, did you live near me a few years ago?

I was one of those, bought a great deal, hardly used 250F for my son. Poof went the motor $$$$$$$, back on the bike, poof went the motor this time due to the **** mechanic. Poof went the bike as is. in a box.  But at least I learned. Now the garage hosts KTM250SX, YZ250, CR125, YZ125, YZ85, and KX100

What really sad is if the Manufactures really wanted to build the sport, get these kids that start as teens on 125 starter bikes without breaking the bank, move them to 250's or 250F's as they get better. Have 85's that could be toned down ( my petite 12 year old girl wants to ride but its a bit much to start out on ) Then put out the 100 or 110 in between bikes for women or shorter lighter kids. More people would ride, more bikes would be sold. KTM can't be the only manufacture that has that figured out.

I know but I can dream can't I?
The quote below is from the KTM 125/250/250F shoot out. If that is the general consensus in the pro world it is now wonder we don't see more 2S.
Can see how continually elevating the sport to a little rich kids pastime makes it a good thing for the factory teams. It is expensive enough on 2S. They are going to kill the sport for normal people.

(If you race a two-stroke, the factory scouts for the big teams will discount your performance. To get a factory deal to race a 250cc four-stroke, you need to be racing a 250cc four-stroke)

Have to add, The Alessi's have been a festering blister on the MX scene for years. Drama and disrespect is all they are about. At least the team manager shoved Jeff back when he was talking ****. What a bunch of complete idiots. Hopefully this will push them out of the sport, at least Tony and Jeff. I find it hard to believe Mike didn't know what was happening though.

Hence the captions. he got 3 broken ribs left side 5 the other fractured jaw fractured left eye socket both thumbs broken two broken fingers on his right hand 3 on his left hand and concussion. He doesn't point mirrors anymore.

Beautiful, absolutely friggen beautiful. Too bad the guy retired from racing due to some ass.

Amazing the Alessi's are that dumb.

Yeah I know its a 4 stroke. I have thought he rides like he is on a two stroke. Outside lines, carries his momentum, he also will hit the corner and cut down across the ruts( I know you guys all do that at least to just piss off the 4S riders )
That was why I crossed the line and posted a 4S vid,

Just found, watched this ( slow day at work  ) complete go pro of Villopoto during Moto 2 at Muddy Creek. I was surprised at how many outside lines he rides, more like a 2S. Its long and he is sick fast. I got tired about halfway through watching it.
Cool vid if you need to kill 30 mins

A next day monday back at school he got in a school yard "fight" with 3 guys that just happened to have been running that race, one of whom got highsided up the face of the jump thanks to being half blinded. Talk about an amazing coincidence.

What a piece of crap, both of them. Hopefully the "fight" was more of a beat down to the little prick.

You know I just don't buy into that line of thinking. RV won his 250 championship and went to Motocross of Nations on his 250 and swept his moto's against 450's. If you look at the lap times of the 250's, as a group they run slower, which makes sense as they are mostly younger less experience riders. But a bunch of the top riders will post lap times faster than at least half the 450 field. Even now that they are swapping motos. Locally I see 250 2S beat the snot out of 450 riders. I know they are not national caliper pros but they are pros. And IMO I think alot of them could be would be National with adequate funding or backing. And Robby Marshal qualified on a 250 before ( I crash alot Canard) took him out, at that point he was running about 16th. I truly think if a top ten rider spent the time, with the money and backing on a 2S he would be competive. And if the AMA pulled there head out of their arse and the factory's D*&^ out out of there mouth and raced equal displacement or equal HP like every other friggen race series, the 2S would really be competive ( but then what would we **** about )

I think most of us just pick out the size and style online or at a cycle shop.
