Good luck on the knee.
Wearing braces? (I'm asking because a buddy just got surgery from an injury gotten while wearing worn-out braces.)

Here's a 480p (instead of 240p) of that Ricky vid. Much clearer.

Well, here's all 3 Craigslist listings for 08 YZ125 in the world:
http://craiggers.com/#!/search/all/mca/2008%20yz%20125/title-only=true
2 at 2800, 1 at 2500.
That bike looks like it's had some use. Will they allow you to ride it? Or at least put it up on a stand and start it and put it in gear? Run through the gears.
Can you get a history of the number and significance of the yellow background color? Here in CO we can go to searchable databases at the 2 state moto race series web sites to see what kind of race history a bike has off its CL photo #. Here, yellow number backing is intermediate class, so bikes with them have usually been ridden hard, esp. 4T 250s. The old bounce-it-off-the-limiter for 2 seasons, then sell it instead of spending 1500 to rebuild.

I'm not asking for a raw video, I understand music during slow-mo. You did a good job with the mix during the helmet cam sequences. I just think the music should be lower in the mix on the realtime off-bike shots.

Nice. Now where are the pics of your 04 RC51? Don't hold out on us, it says "ride", not just "motocross bike". (I'm too damn lazy to get good pics of my RMs, much less the SDR.)

Nice, gotta love the extra-long ignition cover (to make room for B-o-m-b-a-r-d-i-e-r).

Motul 800 at 50:1. No splooge, but it leaves carbon on the rear fender. The bike pops a bit when cold, but runs like a demon when warm.

Good, but IMHO still too much music. I understand having it during the slow-mo, but I wish it was faded out for more motor during the off-bike shots.

After I heard the lame sound track drowning out the bike sounds, I had to turn it off.
I'm boycotting lame music in moto videos. Put it in, I don't watch. It's a moto vid, not a lame music video. If you guys say "awesome video" you just egg them on to put more of their dumb music in every damn video.

Yeah, knee braces don't give much protection for stuff like that, esp Pods.
Still, dealing with that gouge is cheaper and less painful than knee rehab pads do nothing about. Been there, done that. More than once.

« on: October 09, 2011, 10:48:31 PM »I don't get where you guys get this conspiracy theory that all late model 2Ts are "detuned" to make 4Ts look better. Got any credible links?
MXA Made a video showcasing the 2011 Yz125 and Yz250 describing how they have detuned the 2010 and 2011 Yz250 using the excuse of trying to meet regulations.
Got a link to that? I can't find it.
Anyway, the original poster hasn't been back, post count of 1. Congrats.

Unlike the 125, that 250 would have been great on that track. It would have blasted up that hill like it was flat.

4Ts have simply caught up while 2Ts tread water. But I think the 2012 KTM 250SX may be a watershed. If they start winning races and demand stays high, the other mfgs might take notice and put a few $ in the 2T dev budget.
The "detuning" claim I've heard about the 07-08 RM was Suzuki retuning the power curve from mid to upper to calm hit. That's not detuning. The 2 RMs I have right now demonstrate that perfectly. The 97 hits like a beast, which is fun, but has very little high-end. The 08 hooks up better out of corners and walks away on straights with totally superior over-rev.
You made a fine choice sevenoh9. Nothing like a new bike.
