Does A New Tire Actually Make A Difference? // Laptime Comparison! 

Hey AJ I believe I got my 250 sold! Just waiting for the check to clear my bank. I also looked at a couple other bikes and decided to go with a CRF150RB. I found one and as soon as the check clears, I am going to buy it! It's a perfect fit for me with suspension for an adult!! I can't wait to get it and ride!

I like Maxxis tires made in the States! 🇺🇸

@@allisonreeves5509 New or used? Get full synthetic 10w40 engine oil in it asap...& Acerbis hr meter! #Maxima

Wear grooves weren't even gone

My tire is chucking nobs but who cares my bike is 32 year old I am not the next rider

@@redneckracing556 mine too and I'm thinking I can finish this race season on it. When you ride at my level a tire ain't changing nothing

You’ll get there!! 😁

AJ's 70% is faster then 90% of the world's population and he is still only like the 40th fastest out there Lol I say only like he wouldn't smoke more then 99% of the world on 2 wheels 🤣

I was rippin one day maybe last year and just feeling it flowing screaming my bike in 3rd, a 450 too… and yeah I see AJ casually come up behind me yell out niiice and then roll away the entire time I thought he never hit the gas he just floated past me with no throttle while I’m giving it I was like yep time to work drills… 😂

@@chrisvillarreal2752 back when I was still racing I came across kevin Wyndham on the track I felt that I was pretty good had been racing open A and 450 A winning a few races here and there and always near the front well that guy made me feel like I was on an xr50 that was chained to a truck and I know it had nothing to do with the power of his bike or the tires because I was on the same tires and a much more powerful bike then he was he just somehow was able to ride up 2 gears higher then me and never seemed to actually slow down for anything

Thanks!

Excited to try it!

@@AjCatanzaro It sounds like you're about to??

😂😂

Not that I have any say but I would really recommend a 250 in any brand. It will be a huge but very important upgrade to you riding adventure. Also will be 10 times funnier compared to the 125 👍

Needs 2 stroke speakers

That $250 may get you enough gas and practice fees for 4 to 5 practices.

I disagree. Since they have a fraction of the mechanical parts they should be much cheaper and easier to maintain and restore. And when batteries finish their life cycle, although pricey, you just buy new ones…

@@JoeTheBlacksmith13 maybe so for bikes…I haven’t looked into costs on that end, but for cars the price of the batteries mechanically total the 8-ish year old car. Electric in general just really bums me out because it will rob the soul out of powersports and cars for gear heads like myself. I fell in love with engines, not batteries.

@@TheMoparGarage yeah I totally feel you. I think there will always be combustion engine classes though. Much like the nostalgia for 2-strokes and how there is still a market for them. When the combustion engine becomes less common, they will seem even cooler. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and tends to keep the antiquated alive. Hence my profession…. I have a feeling the batteries will be quite expensive and environmentally damaging for some time to come… but there’s a decent chance technological advances will make them more practical with more time/money and R and D supporting them. 🤷‍♂️🤞

@@JoeTheBlacksmith13 that’s a great point, I guess if you had asked me in 2006 if 2 strokes would still exist in 2022 I would have said no way. And they’re still alive and well. So I hope you’re right!

@@JoeTheBlacksmith13 I think EV will be more practical not because of technological advances, but because of change of lifestyle. I live in China now and EV are everywhere, like 50%. But they are ok because people don't drive far. And e-cars here are not like tesla with 400-500km range, but 250km(at least LDV and models used in taxi). The biggest problem is that we don't have technology to utilize and refurbish batteries, and lithium is about to be depleted next decade.

Once the edge is taken off of em I sell em to my off-road buddies or throw em on my trail bike. I feel it. Damn near ever time I hit the track new front and rear lol. If I didn’t sell the takeoffs it would be way too expensive for me to run like that. Lucky I can. Haha.

It’s more important on the Alta than any other bike I’ve ridden, that’s for sure!

That’s when I laugh at my buddies who change their oil after every ride but their drive lines are shot and poor tires, nor fast. But they got a 4.1 taint tanium exhaust

@@eaglemx45 some people just love to ride a shiny clapper. 😂😂😂😂. It’s amazing what people will do and not do all at once because it’s “too much work” like a complete framing and retorque of the entire chassis. Replace consumables. Lube all the pivot points etc and do it regularly. I like my bike feeling like new even with 145 hours on it. I don’t usually keep ‘em this long but it’s hard to give up a carb’d 300 2t with a button and A kit. 😂😂

How much do you sell the take offs for?
