General Two Stroke Talk / Another one gone(Gone with the factory ride)

« on: January 06, 2015, 09:38:50 AM »

Wanted the title to give that vibe due to the loss of another rider. He was trying for KTM full support, guess not anymore. I wonder how he'll do now that he has lost his signature look.

General Two Stroke Talk / 2 strokes @ A1?

Yeah, privateer built bikes don't really stand up to factory rides. You'd have to go insane on engineering a bike from scratch to keep up, and by that point it wouldn't be legal to run.

Yeah the carbed ones are extremely easy to work on and there are parts on ebay as well to rebuild them. The issue is the cost. A brand v6 200hp 2 stroke is in the $10k+ region.

General Two Stroke Talk / FIRST LOOK ? SHERCO?S 300 SE-R FUEL INJECTION

« on: December 26, 2014, 08:28:25 PM »

Im still waiting on someone to explain to me whats wrong with a carburetor and a box of spare jets...

Nothing is wrong with jetting carbs. But don't get me wrong especially if you live in high elevation(3500-6000ft) like I do where the temps in the summer can be 40 degrees or mid winter with a high of -17(Celsius), or riding areas changing elevations by the thousands, that is what this bike was designed for. Coastal or low elevation and its overkill for everything other than boosting hp by maybe 1-2?

I want to see the scales before we make those assumptions haha. Another idea is that weaker rims will weigh less due to less material? Which would make sense on modern 4 strokes due to weight shavings to the extreme.

Digging the tusk wheel set as well, and I'm completely shocked by what you're getting for $500. Probably my next or second buy.

Meh, after riding desert for the last 5 years, it gets annoying. It gets to the point where riding with other people becomes a chore when it is dusty. Mid summer is a pain in the ass with the heat, and you're constantly looking for rain as that's when it gets awesome. If I had to chose between open desert riding and tight woods, the woods hands down. Can't imagine what it would be like in Nevada or Utah. Though I do wish to ride Moab one of these days.

Vintage Two Strokes / HELP, Bike Choosing!!

None of them. Save up and pick up a later model 125sx, rm125(REALLY GOOD), yz125, or a Husqvarna WR/CR125(Can be had for $1500). Save your cash for something you can keep enjoying, and not on something you'll struggle to get parts for in a couple years
