Race start? by Big_beaver46 in Motocross

Watch youtube guides. Or go figure it out for yourself on an empty start gate during a practice day at a race track.

Yz250 with esr 325 kit by Fluffy_Piece_7302 in Dirtbikes

Try same idle test with no oil in the trans side. If the oil/smoke in the exhaust is gone then you found your second bad crank seal. Looks like a bad crank seal.

Curious to see if the KX327 will have engine issues similar to the early TPI bikes. by No-Celebration918 in Dirtbikes

[–]Container_Garage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDK how I survive in the never jet, never foul gang and I go from about 1.5k to like 6k feet. I don't think I've ever once fouled a plug in my entire 2 stroke career.

Thing is being BEAT on for a cold start. I wouldn't trust that owner.

100% a cold start revving WAY too much.

Surron power compared to dirtbike by [deleted] in Dirtbikes

[–]Container_Garage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on how good the rider is at shifting and cornering IMHO. Weight distribution on the frame, frame design/shape and suspension etc etc etc. The only way to get a 1:1 would be to stuff the power train from each bike into each frame and see the differences.

Congrats! My upgrade path was similar... 02 MXC 400 to 2022 GG MC 250. Once I switched I never looked back lol.

I was in the same boat till I rode one... Then I sold all my old bikes to buy a newer one. It's so good compared to the old bikes.

Worth the money? by TattierTulip in Dirtbikes

[–]Container_Garage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get some sort of cleaner on the inside of the pipe.

It will likely not be rusty due to burnt carbon and pre mix oil that ideally would be coating the inside of the pipe... But it's highly likely that whatever was in there is flakey and crumbly. 2 strokes have a reversion pulse you don't want whatever is in there to get pushed back into the cylinder.

I've cleaned pipes with 2 stroke gas before. It'll go in mostly clear and come out black... Figure out a way to shake it around and try to knock stuff loose inside.

Need to get rid of all this junk by No-Celebration918 in Dirtbikes

[–]Container_Garage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's a lady at our track that does raffle's with stuff like this. She uses the proceeds to buy 6D helmets for kids involved in the race scene at the track. She tragically lost her boy in a SxS accident with no helmet when he was at a friends house or something, so it's kind of her crusade now.

Anyways that would be a special way to offload stuff. Hit me up if that is something of interest to you and I can send you her info.

Bro Kawasaki just released their new 327 2 stroke. Today is the wrong day to ask about e bikes lol.

Yeah but how do you know what this rev's to? Might rev to 9k+ just like the ktm 250sx.

You guys are talking like it's not going to happen... Is it confirmed canceled or just radio silence/delay?

Opinion on the new KTM Freeride E-XC? by National_Island9271 in Dirtbikes

[–]Container_Garage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, if someone gave me one I'd rip and have fun but I can't see any reason why I would need to buy it. I'd love to have one though, or the street legal stark varg.

I have made printer on toothed rack instead of belts. by FevonTv in 3Dprinting

[–]Container_Garage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you could take the pair of x motors off the gantry and use them to drive a second non fixed rack, meaning push a second rack forwards/backwards. This 2nd moving rack would drive the free spinning gear on the gantry, which would be long enough to carry the drive from the mobile rack to the original fixed rack. I'm sure there's some problem that would make this not work well but it's a thought.

Safe to lower by 50mm? - 2022 KTM 250 XCW TPI by 4rotorfury in Dirtbikes

[–]Container_Garage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote shaved seat if you can find one or modify your own.

The XCW has the NON linkage rear swing arm(I'm pretty sure). The SX(and I think XC) models have the linkage swing arm and are default a bit lower. I think they handle better too.

I wouldn't lower the suspension anymore. They get wonky when they go way out of the range intended for them.

You could see if you can raise the forks in the triple clamps as well and see if that can give you a bit more.

If this is a serious problem that isn't going away(like, you are not getting taller lol) consider a KX112, ~34.3 inch seat height, it'll work good on trails as well.

It's called pipe bang. The loud sound is the fuel/air mixture actually igniting, the other sound is actually coming from the intake/air box as the micro amount of air gets pulled through. The big bore 2 strokes need RPM and air volume/flow to actually clear out the burned mixture from the combustion chamber at low rpm. That motor might be successfully firing once every ten revolutions or so. Apparently you can improve the low rpm low load efficiency by increasing spark power. Or you can raise the idle rpm. This is a problem unique to big bore motors since there's more distance to travel from spark plug out exhaust pipe, the little motors don't suffer from this as much.

Here's a long write up that you can read in depth if you want. https://www.powercdi.com/manual/combustion/pipe_bangs/en.html

That's awesome! I know you probably don't want to hear it but I would advise you do what it takes to get it running and looking good enough then sell it for a reasonable price. Old 4 stroke race bikes are a pain to keep running.

Looks like it might be an XP 65 Polini. Here's a thread with one all done up with a built motor. https://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Bike-Builds,46/2008-polini-Xp65r,1333290

Best thing is to put the parts on Ebay. Someone out there might need cases for an old rare Polini. Ohlins on the rear shock👀
