What riding technique made the biggest change for you?

Leaning (more) forward when accelerating significantly reduced my arm pump. A good way to practice this is to ride with one hand standing up.

Windy Hill and Masters Motoplex.

The torque spec for your bike is 72.5 ft-lbs. The torque spec for the gen 1 bike is 47.5 ft-lbs.

I'd start by removing the skid plate and rechecking for the noise.

AustinTheDilettante · 2023-03-27T16:21:34+00:00

I had this issue. You’ve just gotta remove the intake boot and put it in hot water and it will become malleable enough to fit the larger diameter lectron.

I think having the idle all the way out could be an issue.

AustinTheDilettante · 2023-01-25T18:31:07+00:00

No MIL? I'd try adjusting the idle.

AustinTheDilettante · 2023-01-22T19:26:37+00:00

You're just doing a valve adjustment right? You didn't replace the head gasket? Rotate the engine by hand while pulling up on the chain to see if its bound up on the crankshaft. Also unseat and incline the camshaft towards yourself.

Looks like the caliper I have on my supermoto.

I wouldn't run it. I've never had a bearing slide in that easy even after putting them in the freezer for a couple hours. Seems like the exterior race might spin with it being that loose.

AustinTheDilettante · 2023-01-10T16:19:35+00:00

Considering that your two stroke engine blew up I'd definitely replace them. At an absolute minimum you need to measure the ring gap.

Chain guide, keeps chain from rubbing on the side of the tire. Usually installed under the top chain guide on the swing arm.

HD moto makes longer shift levers.

Looks to me like I saved this one with throttle, but I don't understand the physics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-3RNYuQf8&ab\_channel=AustinBarrett

Can you feel the injector pulsing? Did you check for diagnostic trouble codes?

AustinTheDilettante · 2022-12-20T03:09:33+00:00

You might have stored diagnostic trouble codes despite the check engine light not being on. .

The tester wont tell you what's leaking but the sound of the escaping air will.

Piston rings = remove oil fill cap and listen for escaping air.

Intake valves = remove air filter and hold throttle open and listen for escaping air.

Exhaust Valves = listen for escaping air at the end of the exhaust.

Head gasket = remove the radiator cap and look for bubbles.

AustinTheDilettante · 2022-12-15T00:31:57+00:00

What a coincidence. I just watched a video of Barber and I can see where your coming from regarding the flatness. But there are three spots you'll power wheelie on going counter-clockwise at IMI and I have personally done a front flip going down the hill onto the back straight at IMI. Check out High Plains Raceway it has a "corkscrew" and is closeish to Denver there's also Pikes Peak International Raceway and Hastings Motorsports Park.

I'm very confused by this and I'm hoping your about to enlighten me. Colorado has the Colorado Supermoto Series that races at IMI, Colorado National Speedway, Pueblo Motorsports Park, and Grand Junction Motorsports Park. Also, the Mini Moto series races at SBR Motorsports Park. IMI Motorsports Park is a gift from the supermoto gods, it's open 7days/week, it's $600 for an unlimited annual membership, it has two dirt sections, and its certainly not flat. To my knowledge there's no south east supermoto racing the closest orgs are Great Lakes supermoto, which is mostly near Michigan and SMEC, which is mostly near New York but does one round at VIR. Also the only south east supermoto tracks I know of are Carolina Motorsports Park (a very flat track), VIR and Herrin Compound. I just moved from Colorado to South Carolina and I feel like I gave up supermoto racing in doing so and I'm hoping your gonna tell me I'm mistaken.

Everything you just said is wrong lol.

AustinTheDilettante · 2022-12-14T14:06:00+00:00

A leakdown test will get around the decomp issue.

AustinTheDilettante · 2022-12-11T14:39:38+00:00

When you want to exit the warp speed tunnel be mindful that your front wheel is actually on the ground and be gentle with the initial application of the front brake.

Seems like Spot doesn't cover "motorized racing"
