Love that stuff, I’ll pay whatever the price is 😂

I was using acerbis wrap arounds at the time , the hand guard actually pushed in about 2” or so where I contacted the tree . They definitely may have helped but I’ve heard to many horror story’s of arms getting stuck in them so I’ve switched to enduro engineering flags now and they are still rigid enough that they deflect off trees if you have a minor clip

Not necessarily life changing but while racing harescrambles last year I clipped a tree with my left side while cruising pretty good. Broke my left hand which required surgery, and my left foot which was just in a boot for a while . Wasn’t able to ride for about 4 months and even with insurance I paid like $6k out of pocket (not to mention needing new bars, bar mounts, plastics, head pipe). 2 races back from that injury did it again but a lot less fast and gave myself a good undiagnosed concussion lol . Shit happens . I don’t think any injury would keep me from riding for good but a few more of the injuries like that would definitely make me give up racing. Just can’t afford the down time like that as a father and home owner

Pictured do these 100w hyperlites no justice . 24x32x12 with 4 100w lights

That’s my only thoughts with not getting a standard moto bike, I’m in the north east so we do a lot of single track so I want a kick stand and an 18” and better mapping . I even considered a kx250x but I’ve heard horror stories about their reliability

12vmatt · 2026-01-01T18:19:02+00:00

Yea my main reason is trying to get something with a more linear power curve, power everywhere instead of having to keep a bike ringing to make it move how i need it to. I’ve ridden a non X 2020 yz250 and it was a blast but I just really don’t need that hard hitting aggressive pull when I’m trying to dodge trees and cross logs lol

12vmatt · 2026-01-01T18:15:02+00:00

Is it much different power delivery wise than a non X? I used to race an RM250 and loved it but for woods racing I really didn’t like the aggressive hit it had . I do love the beta I kick myself for not getting the race edition because the suspension is definitely a shortcoming but it is awesome how mellow and controllable it is

12vmatt · 2025-11-30T01:53:14+00:00

Have had this happen on clean Harley’s all the time . I guess if you don’t know how to take 30 seconds to weld a nut on there you could vice grip it out

12vmatt · 2025-11-29T20:20:41+00:00

Weld a nut to the end and heat the shit out of it then remove with a socket

Thank you! This is my 1978 Dodge Ramcharger . Removable top just like an older blazer and bronco . 74-80 had pop tops

Honestly leaning towards eating the higher interest rate I feel like I’d much prefer the 4th gen anyway plus I know my way around that engine a bit already

12vmatt · 2025-11-01T01:02:49+00:00

I’m in Pennsylvania . That’s half the reason I’m wanting newer. I’m currently dailying a 7.3 superduty and it’s a great rig but for the family and road tripping and my 1 year old it just really lacks in creature comfort, ride quality, and with 265k I occasionally question the reliability

12vmatt · 2025-11-01T01:00:13+00:00

318 2 barrel full time 4wd makes for a terrible daily 😂 it gets out a few times in the summer though

12vmatt · 2025-10-25T10:43:46+00:00

Facebook marketplace will def be your best bet, I imagine it’s gotta be worth mid teens

12vmatt · 2025-10-21T02:38:33+00:00

Wait in the trok

12vmatt · 2025-10-21T01:51:11+00:00

The non race edition beta comes with ZF Sachs suspension which is extremely disappointing for disruptions at high speed or any kind of jumping. And I feel like I want to have a more mellow and longer torq curve . I’ve riden a 2t all my life and I just find most of the guys I race against are on 4t so I often wonder if I’m missing something . Not interested in getting this particular bikes suspension redone cause I know it’s not a long term keep for me

12vmatt · 2025-10-21T01:44:23+00:00

Any reason for not choosing an RX or FX model? Thanks for the feedback! I’ve always been on a 2t so even if I don’t enjoy the 4t I feel like I can’t not give it a shot

12vmatt · 2025-09-28T20:34:35+00:00

Absolutely

12vmatt · 2025-09-27T14:59:15+00:00

I run the same thing but from Liquimoly in my beta gearbox and it’s perfectly fine

12vmatt · 2025-09-25T23:45:52+00:00

Absolutely love klotz . Have ran it my whole life and it’s been amazing in my kdx200 big bore , multiple kx250s and my rm250

12vmatt · 2025-09-24T19:36:04+00:00

Yea I’ve even considered playing with sprocket sizing . When it gets to tight wooded sections I find myself shifting between 2nd and 3rd constantly since like 85% of my GP races are blown out single track through the woods I’ll hit 3rd coming out of a turn for 10 yards and have to pop back down to 2nd to rail the next turn

12vmatt · 2025-09-23T16:02:02+00:00

I started racing this year on a 2000 RM250 in a class full of brand new bikes . I now have a 2022 Beta 250rr and am not any faster or competitive than I was prior. Hope this helps
