General Two Stroke Talk / Re: Signing a waiver, any attorneys on here?

Terry, thanks for the other perspective.  I will advise him to consult with an attorney.

Riffraff, Yes, my friend does have homeowners insurance.

Thanks guys for the replys. 

We will definately print up a waiver and have everyone sign it before they ride.

If I can get a good video from my GoPro of the track I will post it up.  Hopefully the rain will hold off this weekend.

General Two Stroke Talk / Signing a waiver, any attorneys on here?

My neighbor and I have been building a mx track on his property.  The only riders allowed will be friends.  Although I do not see any of them filing a lawsuit if they should get hurt, I guess it would be possible their insurance provider would.

All mx tracks I have been to make you sign a waiver, releasing them of any and all liability. I have heard that these waivers are not worth the paper they are printed on. 

Does anyone on here know if this is true or have experience with property owner liability?

IMO he should make everyone sign a waiver, even myself, to protect him and his property. But, if the waiver does not protect him, why make them sign? Is there another means of protection?

I have an idea of what your going through with the Chrons, I have a friend that has it and it sucks.  I feel for ya.

As far as the clickers, back the compression out as far as you can and try that.  Then adjust accordingly.  You can also lower your oil level in the forks, which can take some harshness out. If your seals are leaking though, I would not lower the oil level as it could already be low.  I would start with stock setting on the rebound clickers.

Have you looked on ebay for the correct springs for your weight?  You may be able to at least find the rear spring for cheap.

Please keep in mind I'm no suspension expert and the above are only suggestions.  

Make and record your adjustments on your suspension that you currently have and dial it in the best you can. 

Then SAVE UUUUUP! for the correct springs.

Do you have a local suspension shop that may could help you?  We're fortunate in my area to have a guy that does excellent suspension revalving/tuning.  A lot of times if the springs are the correct size for your weight he can adjust the clickers based on what you are experiencing and make a big difference. (all while at the local track of course)

If your springs are correct for your weight,  you should tear them down yourself (with some help of a buddy) and inspect all the parts and replace those seals.  Youtube has a excellent how-to video, just do a search.

Hope this helps.

BTW,  I love 125's, they are so much fun and fun is what matters.  Nice looking bike also and welcome to the forum.

Thanks all for the replies,

I'll probably look into Millenium Technologies some more.  I sent them an e-mail but have not received a reply back yet.

Thanks PowerPlay,  I have found some on ebay but, I'm just not ready to pay those prices yet.  I was hoping someone had one for cheap.  There is a place in Wisconsin that has fair prices for remanufactured cylinders.  The only thing is I'm not sure if mine would meet their requirements for me to recieve my core back.

How much for the one you can get?  PM me the cost if you want.

Thanks in advance.

I love the sound of a 125 being ringed out like that.  That's a small reason I bought one.

The schoolboy class is one of the most entertaining races at Lorettas and anywhere else for that matter.

Great vid.

I owned a '85 CR500 once.  It maybe why my shoulders when rotated sound like gravel moving around in there.  Felt like it would pull your arms off.

I vaguely remember fast woods trails as just a blur.

Thanks guys for the info.  I'll definately order elsewhere in the future.

Believe me, the only reason I was over on TT was they do have a very good Yamaha 2 stroke forum.  Espeacially when it comes to tuning the carb.  Good info. in the FAQ section.

opferman,  I've used bikebandit before and just did not think of them.   Old age creeping in I guess.

Who do you guys order OEM parts online from?  I tried ThumperTalk and it's been 13 days, still no parts.

I should have known better but I was trying to save some money on shipping.  Live and learn I guess.

The weather has finally cooled off here and I have no bike to ride.  I'm getting very pissed at TT!

I agree too.  Very nice AF500.

I used to love riding my 500 a gear or two high through the woods.  I do not miss kick starting the thing though.  The '85 had a kick starter that was straight, no bend what so ever!

RM's are nice too, they make a very good woods bike also.

I just realized I don't have any pics. of my YZ.  I'm currently waiting on parts so, when it's back together I'll post up a pic.

Cool pics.  That Factory Kawasaki pic. really shows how times have changed.  I've been to Loretta's Amatuer National and it's unreal at the set-ups these kids have now days.

erro,  I'll post up a photo once I learn how to.


keeptwostrokesalive,  my guess is you ride mostly sand?  Have you ever raced the SERA or SETRA series?

Oh, thanks for the welcome.
