Technical / Re: What two stroke pre mix is best?

« on: July 17, 2010, 09:48:53 AM »

Quaker State 10W-30 @ 20:1 with 87 octaine. Just kidding, Honestly the most important thing is that your jetting is correct for the mixture that you are running. 20:1, 32:1, 50:1 ect. I think people over analize the whole oil thing in two-strokes, four-strokes, planes, trains, automobiles or anything else that uses oil. As long as you are running a quality oil like... Pretty much anything sold in a motorcycle dealership your bike will run fine. You can have the most expensive super duper synthetic racing aircraft grade two stroke oil in your bike but if the jetting is off whats the point? One other thing to keep in mind is regular maintenance if your airfilter has not been cleaned and properly oiled in six months than the best oil in the world is'nt going to do you any good. There was an artical on here a while ago about carburator tuning that was loaded with good info I think everyone should read and undertand everything in that artical before loosing sleep over what brand of oil to use. There my preaching is done for the day.

General Two Stroke Talk / AMA Approved Equipment List?

« on: July 17, 2010, 08:26:26 AM »

I Just ran across this on the AMA Pro Racing website. Ok we all know about the production rule which is kind of a downer, but whats with only allowing bikes of a certain year to race? What if I have a 2005 YZ250 that I want to race at the pro level. If I am not mistaken 2005-2010 YZ's are all the same bike with only minor changes like spring rates and graphics. One thing that was exciting to see on that list is that Husquvarna has a bike that is "Approved" to race AMA Supercross and Motocross, too bad its not the CR125 two stroke .

The best part of motocross: Feeling the butterflys in your gut while you are on the gate, even though you have done it 100 times before.

The worst part of motocross: Going to the hospital.

Race tech has a calculator that you can use to get the proper spring rate. Just enter the year, make, and model of your bike along with your weight and type of riding you do.

Sweet bike, I think that McGrath rode a 93' the whole time he was with honda (The firts time that is). Its only missing one thing, One of those rectangle "Camel Supercross" stickers under the honda wing on the radiator shroud.

I built a stand that supports the wheel on the bearings which allows me to spin it around and work at it from a standing position.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of these stands. Anyone have one or ever used one?
