did u set your sag??..thats the most important thing and very simple to do

yeah, we messed w/ it one night and got it in spec...

Rode Saturday and Sunday it is surprising how little gas is used in these bikes. MX is so much cheaper to do than ski.

totally... no flushing after every ride either...

 

[Mark44]

Well I did have to go to the car wash and spend 3 bucks to get all the mud off.

mark44, invest in a little $100 pressure washer from lowes.

critical investment! lol.

no, you dont have to flush them, but cleaning these things every weekend (and all your gear) can get tiring! :smile:

I would have done it at home but I had about 30 LBS of mud on the two bikes and it was 28 deg. outside. When I got home from the car wash the bikes were frozen solid but thawed over night in the garage.

A cheap power washer will probably be in my future when it’s warmer out.

At the place we have been riding they have a wash station for ORV but it is turned off and drained this time of year.

one lesson ive learned, wash the bike over the grass, not in your driveway. :dunce:

Yep just didn't want a frozen pile of sandy mud in the grass.

a true dirt-sicle rider would have already made burms in the grass.

Pics from our ride on Sat. forgot I had the camera or I would have had my picture taken with all my gear. My chest protector makes me look like a linebacker LOL.

 

[yamaslut]

sweet... I wish my wife would come out and ride w/ me... that's so freaking cool...

:bananalama::bananalama:

so how am I supposed to get Emily to let me get one? She's very anti dirtbike right now

that's easy!

go buy the one you like, come home, and tell her you're going riding. :wavey:


see...wasn't that simple?

 

[yamasaki]

rule #1... its easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

 

[GDFL]

No, because then we'd end up with a new dog or cat or some BS like that. I'd hate to have to kill an animal over this.....

 

[Katie]

Why is she anti dirtbike? Afraid you will get hurt, don't have the money?

Let us know the reason why she doesn't want you to have one and we can help you out more.

It is a blast, just a little scarier than a jetski because you fall on ground instead of water but it is the greatest feeling getting up a steep hill, or hitting a tight turn.

 

[yamasaki]

because you fall on ground instead of water

really the only down side!!! :usa:
