She's gone! Traded for an immaculate 03 RM250.

I do miss it but the RM is more compact and I bet its a little lighter.


I do have a ...

Thanks for posting that HOO.

I built my gen 1 late last year/early this year and have been riding it a bunch.

I have been trying to sell it locally for around $2k but my ads keep getting flagged.

Id trade for a 250 2stroke or beater 450.

Motor has about 30 hours on vortex piston and fresh bore.

Needs fork seals.
I think ...

Am I the only one who thinks RFS motors are not worth the effort?

good job, making me think of trying that out... does a strong 500 with regular size tires (like yours) stand a chance against a 450 with 17"s
assuming equal riders

Drag race? It's close...
Handling? A 160 slick on a 17 has a lot more contact patch than a 110 dual sport tire.

Our front straight ...

Sweet. Way to go, Flunkie. What's the starting grid look like in that class? Is it made up of mostly 4strokes or 2strokes, 250's, 450's? If you voluntarily started in the back, then you got to romp all that ass on your way to the front, eh? Share some details.

sportsman class is intended for guys ...

I haven't ridden supermoto in over a year. I got talked into riding sportsman this weekend so I found some junk tires and wired up the bike. Bad gate pick in the heat and I voluntarily started from way back in the main.

CR5 with MX gearing and skinny tires accerates so much harder than most bikes ...

For now its stock, just serviced up. This is my MX bike and will get setup for SM later this year. The first part of the year ill be on a borrowed 450

I woods ride in the summer too.

I guess she's my all around gal.

Well.....this bike has been together for a while and I did a bunch of MX days on it. I looped it practising starts (ha ha go figure) and bashed the radiator. It took a while for me to find time to weld the rad but its done. I also got a correct silencer for it. It's a turbine core sparky. The 91 to ...

Have I been reading misinformation about a flywheel weight? Isn't it supposed to smooth out power delivery and get more power to the ground?

You are correct. Thats what flywheel weights do.

The 500 is the Cooler option. Just don't slow it down is what I'm saying.....

I'm not trying to be a Dick here (sorry if I am) but why find a nasty motor and tone it down? Might as well rebuild the 250 motor....?

Iv been riding my gen1 for a couple months. I feel I'm an intermediate. been riding (in general) for a while. No probs... MX and SM

So last week I'm practising dirt starts. 3rd gear is best and it just haul ass. No wheeling just a rocket ship.

New tires sat night. Sunday i ride some laps and ...

As the title says... cheap is the name of the game....

Looking for good used rad and silencer/sparky.... can be stock 97/98 125/250 radiator, doesn't need to be modded.

Parting it?

I need a radiator...

i did get a new silencer to put on.

I pulled the motor friday night and took the cylinder up to the shop to get bored (ill be at +1.5mm) and a new piston. so a fresh top end, new pipe, new silencer, reworked suspension and im going to reasess. im stoked. supermoto wheels to come....

I'm interested to see your tool. Thanks

That's what she said. Hmmm

the answer is no. because the capacity of the bladder is so small, it has to be pressurized and the schrader closed while its pressurized.

just taking the chuck off the valve (the air spurt) is enough to loose most/all pressure.

motion-pro makes a tool but its about $300 bones. find a competent ...

The power is a blast. The power has already made me a lazy rider in the corners.

Iv got a yz250 thats setup perf for me on the MX track. I consider this my primary bike.

WTF do I do with this 500? Colorado has a huge SM following (with a great local race series) that iv raced in for 3 years now ...

This stuff blew out after a very short time of being in the bike. I superglued it all the way around on the manifold. I also grew an extra pinkey toe when I huffed the fumes from the rope/superglue. That shit reacts together mr.wizard style.

So I went to the hardware and got a thick oring and used ...

they are popular in the supermoto world. as the guy above said, keep the spokes tight.

well I got my head out of my ass for the day and finished my build. I jet it and took it to the mx track today (30* outside temp) and had a blast. it needs a little more refining but its done. Now the task of going through the suspension and getting it to work....

Get some 17s and slicks....you will like them much better than DOT sportsman tires....

Thanks for that bob.

I guess I'm just bitchy cause I want to build the motor (top and bottom) and replace the whole exhaust but I can't afford it right now.

Ill be finished with it saturday, then I'm gonna ride it till it blows up or have money saved to rebuild it, whichever comes first

Well im getting close. iv got parts up at epic waiting, i had some busy weekends and havent been able to pick them up.

So Iv pretty much been fiddling with little small stuff on the bike until I can get parts.

Im a bit discouraged at this point.

I think im overthinking things right now. The ...

how about stock jetting specs? I live at 6k ft and have my own formula for getting stock jetting to high altitude jetting (base line) ....but I need stock jetting specs first.

not just main/pilot either...needle size and clip position, float height etc...

any good websites for this?
