    How much can one get for part outs?

    So as most of you know my bike blew up this weekend. It is a bottom end failure, the head and cam etc are good. It was, apparently, a thrust bearing failure. I have not torn the motor down so I am not sure how the cases are yet (but a rough estimate of the typical case prices would help). The...

    Overheating? Bike shut down.

    So we went riding today and intermittently we were smelling coolant. we looked at all the bikes and saw no coolant leaks, and all our reservoirs were full, none were blowing over, and no overheat lights came on. I got into the bike to climb a hill and it died. Just like someone cut the key off...

    Rekluse Z-Start Pro

    I don't see them listed on your site, but I was told you can get a lot of stuff that may not be listed. In the winter I plan on going with this set up, and hoping for the cover as well. This is for an '06 ER. El Mamito USMC always recommends you, so perhaps I'll make my purchase through you...

    Questions about linkage

    OK, my *** end is harsh on my bike. I spent most of my play money in engine upgrades and other go fast goodies. I followed Nick's advice on setting up my suspension (all stock still), but the rear was throwing me over the handlebars. It is ridiculous. I softened it up even more and it is better...

    Decided to try some GBC tires

    I have read a lot of good stuff about the X-Rex and how it is the same tire as the Maxxis Razr. But they stopped making the Xrex, so I got the XC Master tires, which are supposedly the replacement. I like the 6 ply tires at that price, and I like that I have read about excellent wear and...

    oscilloscope patterns, gauging interest

    Our machines are really fairly simple, but in some cases it would be nice to lay to rest the "is it my CDI?", "my stator?", etc. topics. As a professional wrench with 25 years of diagnosis I have found one of the most valuable tools I have is my oscilloscope. A scope basically displays a...

    Not as exciting, but here are a few shots

    Just sharing a few shots of our rides. I think I tore a rotator cuff 2 weeks ago. So I haven't been able to ride the last couple weeks. It feels a lot better, but I want it to be as close to 100% as I can before I go haulin' @ss again. One of my buddies I ride with blew his bike up on thursday...

    Kids atv

    I bought my son an Adly 90 last Christmas just to shut him up. He was 13 and about 130 solid pounds He rode the **** out of it. 2 months later (his birthday) he asked for a new motor, so I got him a 125. Took us just a few minutes to put in. He really beat the $hit out of the thing. I got him a...
