It probably has a lot to do with the boots too. Mine seem to not have enough heel on them or something. I see where you can have this problem. I really don't have a solution though. Maybe some of that skateboard stuff that they stick on the top of them or the stuff for slippery steps. You know what...

slippery kicker fix?

I am not afraid of mud. I will take my bike in the nastiest crap on a dare. The problem is, once my boot gets good and muddy it becomes a real pain to kick. Boot slides right off. I have heard of putting hose clamps on the kicker and positioning the screw assy on it to give some substance to it. Any...

needle #?

in the jeting sticky bob recommends a 1472 (DGN)as good starting point. Does this mean 1.4 taper and .72 thickness? What is the full number so I can buy one for my pj?
thanks!

well I've never held any 500 pipes but mine but it definitely isn't heavy. I've thought about calling fmf but am a little skeptical about them knowing more than some of you guys, especially on such an apparently old product. It only has one ding! speaking of, I guess freezing it is out as it will al...

speaking of welds, I had to weld it as it cracked quite badly in the big bend that comes out to the left of the bike. this is the second time it happened. Is this common?

My pipe says FMF gold series, but doesn't say gnarly or fatty. Just says "feel the power" under the logo. What is it?

It has to be the deisel fleet stuff, like the rotella is spec'd for, appareently it is exempt from all that mileage enhancing crap tha...

thanks guys. yeah I'm thinking I may just swap the paddle on when I hit the dunes. around here it is 3 hrs to get to the sand so can't see going too often. Especially as the tire on it now is junk so that saves me taking a good one off at least. I'm still in the 45 minutes-and-alot-o-cussing stage o...

What I really would like to see done is the 500 in the 250 2 stroke Yamaha alloy chassis. They have never been criticized for any weird handling issues as have the 4t ones, have ( in the later models ) the SSS suspension & then I'd just go to white plastics. It would be an up to date version of ...

thanks. Look like someone forgot to include the tool and nut when they sold it to me. That's the problem with so much aftermarket goo-gaws. I may take some angle iron and bolt it on the FWW. Then I can give it a good whack.
