El Mamito USMC Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I like pivot works mamito, used them on my 400ex for 2 years no issues and thats what I put in my 06+ swinger I got. No issues with either of them. I will say that removing the bearings for the first time SUCKS. They dont want to come out easily and when they do come out you kinda mar up the inside. I actually dremel them smooth with a 120 grit sanding drum attachment. i was going to go with OEM... my mec preferts it that way... link to those berings..

Baileyguns Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Pivot works does a life time replacement on all there bearing kits. If they (when) they fail you can get a new set. Its one free kit per purchased kit.. Basically 50% off if you keep replacing them... http://www.pivotworks.com/LifetimeReplacement.aspx Quote Live Free or Die http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/9429fda0882ce39582aff21a740157c0.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileyguns Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Sooo... Are you knocked out when those guys where looking at your bike or did your helmet come off? There wasn't much in the way of motion there for a bit.

Baileyguns Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ahhhh.... That makes sense. I thought it was still on your helmet. Your ARE getting a new helmet right? Sounds like that one took a good hit and its time to hang it on the wall.

chronicsmoke Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 yah have to find another one though.. I might be using it this weekend regardless.. (not saying its right by anymeans, just won't have time to get a new one in.) My old one's are still kicking around but are rittled with battlescars as well Quote CRASHTEST RACING IMMORTAL ATV http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/7cbc5acb2a1ab76eac286e7fe5b4520d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyguns Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Just be careful.. They don't take the second hit as well as the first. I hate to sound like a Nanny but I've seen people die from head injuries. Its not pleasant. 1 Quote Live Free or Die http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/9429fda0882ce39582aff21a740157c0.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronicsmoke Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 very true.. Thankfully I landed in sand, so it wasn't too bad.. Had it been clay I'd be a hurtin' unit still.

Burke Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Helmets are nothing to cheap out on or keep using to protect yourself a 2nd time... think about how much money we spend to keep our bikes looking, running, & rolling perfectly, and then take the cheap route on personal protection... how much is an intact skull worth?

bvet4dog Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I already got myself a new helmet last month. Definitely recommended to get new helmet, that is DOT approved of course.

chronicsmoke Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Thanks mamito.. the tape was because it was supposed to rain an inch the night/morning of the race but the rain held off.. it was still really muddy in a few spots. I had to take the tape off on about lap 4-5 because the red temp light came on in the 'rock garden' but its there to keep mud out of the rad. Here's a vid.. 1 Quote CRASHTEST RACING IMMORTAL ATV http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/7cbc5acb2a1ab76eac286e7fe5b4520d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronicsmoke Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 lmao!! Obviously.. he ported the head, swapped out his exhaust bearings, changed the blinker fluid, installed HD head studs, rebuilt his own suspension and on top of All THAT cut his own tie rods.. He's just THAT GOOD. I heard the XCI pros PAY him to stay home.

chronicsmoke Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 New rear shock.. The St.3 Elka was alright but I could tell the front end was way better so I picked up a stadium from Rollie's buddy to match.. Probably getting changed to dual rate but I'll see what Theirry @ Stadium says first.
