    Brand New Bike - Kaboom

    So I heard from the dealer. The bike is starting and running fine. They've done several heat cycles and rode it outside twice so far. Nothing. I am at a loss. I'm going to, at a minimum, have the valve cover taken off and likely the cylinder just to make sure nothing looks sketchy. Other...

    Brand New Bike - Kaboom

    Thanks guys for all of the thoughts and comments. I took the bike back to the dealer yesterday. This will be a long drawn out process it seems. I don't have high hopes. I'm sure they will find something, if they want, that they can point to and say I didn't follow the manual to a tee (like...

    Brand New Bike - Kaboom

    agreed but according to Suzuki, there is no warranty so it could have happened day 1 or day 30 or day 360. Anything they offer to do, it's clear they will be "doing me a favor" exactly - I thought at one point you were going to get a Zook and I thought "I better beat Meister to the punch on...

    Brand New Bike - Kaboom

    So after spending weeks researching and test riding bikes I decided, for various reasons, to take down a new 2015 RMZ450. I purchased the bike in early October, went through the break in process and took it to Malvern for my initial ride. I loved the bike (I know the air forks are a pain but...

    Positives about the local racing scene!!!!

    I was in PA over the weekend picking up a bike. Told the "kids" in the back prepping the bike (they both raced) that I was from Ohio. They were jealous. They said our track and racing scene in Ohio blows theirs away. I think we have it better than we realize here. Heck, after all of the...

    BC Battle Weekend Updates!

    Was only our second time to the track and we really love it. That track was a blast. Agree with all the kudos already mentioned, particularly given the rain Saturday, awesome job by the crew. The only thing I took issue with, and I can't believe no one brought it up yet, was all of the pit...

    Battlesburg MX 8/8 and 8/9

    KTM demo day

    I wanted to ride a 350 badly because it's at the top of my wish list...and I did ride it. I also rode the 450 and for sheets-n-giggles decided to try the 250 2-stroke. 250 2-stroke blew me away. What fun it was riding one of those. I hated the 450 and as much as I want to like the 350 it...

    BC Ride Orange 8-8 & Help Christian 8-9 Days!

    Same. I'm really interested in a 350SX and want to try one out. Was talking to a dealer and they have no idea what ticket I'm talking about.

    Tony Horton of p90x fame

    At work so I can not open the instagram link but based upon the follow up commentary, I think I get the gist of the message (physically demanding sports - soccer being #1 and MX #2?). When I was a kid...way back in the 80's, there was a Sports Illustrated article that said the same exact thing...

    New bike decisions

    pasimp57 - I talk to Hause, and as he posted on here, he loves his 2stroke. I haven't been on one since I was 18 though. Definitely have to work harder to ride but I've thought about it. Loneranger - thanks for the offer but I can't make Malvern this Wednesday. I agree with you on the estart...

    New bike decisions

    Loneranger - I'd be interested in your opinion of the 350SX. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one myself. I rode Shark's at Malvern on Saturday but it was just in the grass field in the back. I liked it but again, I wasn't on the track. I'm 200-205lbs (no gear). I'm NOT a Loretta's guy...

    Chillitown hits a homerun!

    All I can say is even my wife and daughter had a blast (and they don't like going to the track)! Awesome weekend (besides Lilly's dog event)!

    My old thread that pertains to the "interesting read" thread

    ditto (to John and Dave's post). My wife and daughter hate spending all day at the track just so they can watch us for maybe 20 minutes of total track time. Heck, they are already complaining about going to Chillitown this w/e with us, and we haven't even left yet! Lots of other obligations...

    Favorite local rider.....

    Mark Pahanish was super fast...loved watching him ride (usually as he was lapping me). Bobby Baker used to give him a run for his money though. I knew Mark Moreno and Stevie Gardiner very well and they have long passed. Used to hang with Shawn Gates as well. Never saw anyone locally ride a...
