This is where I log most of my dirt bike rides so I can look back with nostalgia at a later date, if you like it that's cool, but it's mostly for myself.
The bike I'm riding now is a 1989 KDX200 which is super old but still very fun and not a KTM product, which anyone with a bunch of money can go out and buy, boring.
Other than that it's pretty random content but mostly automotive of some sort.
89-94 KDX’s were all the same except the seats they did different designs usually each year which is pretty much the only way to tell them apart and some 93/94’s came with gorgeous blue anodised Kayaba upside down front forks.
Good way to clap out your bike. Its a beautiful view but wouldn't want to tear up my bike on that sh**. Seems like a its better suited for a beefier FI 4 stroke. I wouldn't want to ride that rock circus trail back down without some 4T engine braking. Just send it!
@RevolutionOF91 yeah I first used it for a timed hare scramble so I could pace myself, but then like you said, nice not to have to stop and check the phone.
Any updates ? Very Limited Info on any E-Series Front End Swaps. It’s something I intend to address at some point. I wonder if your Triple Clamps altered any Geometry ? I hate OEM Cast Triples.
Hoping to do some riding this weekend! Sadly my 94 KDX is down needing a new needle seat so i'm ripping the DRZ-250 for its first real ride after buying it from my fil. Sick vid as always! Hype to see if you end up with a Beta
@perrygibbons1816 Next time you think about saying something like that to me I want you to remember one thing I know the guy that created google maps and I can locate you in the time it took me to type all of this up. Dont want anymore problems? I didnt think so...... Jk bro u alright?
Wow, that trail has alot of technical spots. The beautiful scenery has to take second priority to making sure you get passed the next turn and rock outcrop. Way to ride!
Beautiful scenery where you're riding. I'm so jealous! 🥲 Where I am in Florida, there aren't very many places left to ride due to the building boom and population growth here post covid. My ride is a 1984 kdx200 with updated "H" series disc brake front end and a Keihin PWK35 carb that i picked up for $900 (running) about 2 years ago. I've been working to restore and improve her as much as I can. Thank you for posting your riding adventures. Please keep the excellent videos coming! 👍🎶👂💪🙂
Rocks is my life in this state... After you got to Hancock pass what was that road? Was that just the other side of Hancock? What pass did the video end at where there was no sign?
"That was dumb" It happens, lol! Those are some awesome trails. I wish we had better single tracks in NC. Most everything here is rutted beyond riding in most places. Be safe out there!
I made the decision that this year was the year I was gonna go. I'd been through the mountains like 20 years ago, so I wasn't sure about altitude. That and whole not being able to leave, I ended up getting tickets for me and my dad. We flew into Denver Friday, flew out Sunday. It was awesome to see, I think I'll save my money and watch it live next year online. I'll be bringing my kid to his first Rally event in late August, and that's about the same as watching at the turn one spectator area.
Really glad Rob made it to the top, with all the red flags I was scared, especially when the radio station started speculating that car #146 had a failure (it was the polo they just assumed)
I kept this video on my mind when buttoning up my 1990 project, my cylinder is also sleeved. When i installed my new wave washer it binded up the center valve. I squished it, to remove some of the wavyness and that fixed my problem. Since yours binds without the washer i kept looking to see what it could possibly be. I noticed the bell shaped part of the valve is very slightly rubbing against the oustide of my sleeve. If it were machined different or the sleeve was any thicker it would certainly bind it up. Maybe your sleeve just needs a little dremeling to gove it clearance. If thats not the problem i could also see it being that one shouldered stud just being too deep and touching the operating rod.
I kept this video in mind while buttoning up my kips on my 1990 restoration. Mine also is sleeved. Everything moved smoothly but i was waiting for a new wave washer ( 92022-1978 ) when i installed the wave washer it added a ton of friction. I guess they come really wavy and i squished it, which solved it. However since yours is stuck without the wave washer i kept checking what it could be. And i noticed the large bel part of the center exhaust valve very very slightly rubs against the outside of the cylinder sleeve. For mine its not enough to bind it. But if it was machined slightly different or my sleeve was thicker it would certainly bind. Maybe you can dremel that spot alottle to give the valve dome more clearance.
