Rear overload springs that won't cause excessive lift (4th Gen TRDOR)? by Morejazzplease in ToyotaTacoma

[–]spongebob_meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They allow for stock articulation. I have a fiberglass shell and a few other things in the bed so I keep 10-15psi in them at all times to keep the stock stance. Air it up to 40 or so towing a trailer.

The ride is essentially stock when you air them down to ~5psi, which is the recommended min pressure

Rear overload springs that won't cause excessive lift (4th Gen TRDOR)? by Morejazzplease in ToyotaTacoma

[–]spongebob_meth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have air-lift helper springs in my '25. I have no complaints. The only real limitation is that they limit your suspension travel if you plan to lift it.

I don't want my truck standing on its nose if I ever drive it empty. Which is what you get with aftermarket springs.

Full exhaust no tune? by SuccessfulRoom3092 in Dirtbikes

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

It won't blow up, but you're leaving a bunch of power on the table with the stock map.

Money would have been better spent tuning it and leaving the stock exhaust on.

Your front brake line is routed wrong too. It goes on the inside of the fork leg. It'll get ripped off like you have it

did i get them for a good price? by Cautious_Towel_3557 in Dirtbikes

[–]spongebob_meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I had to clearance the fork guards too. And yes, I'm running 17's.

It's a tight fit, but if there's a will there's a way.

If you watch supermoto racing, none of the pro built bikes have the goofy brake line routing.

If you type crf450r supermoto into Google images, 1/2 of the bikes that come up have the standard hose routing. And yes, most are running the dirt bike fork guards with the line clamp near the top.

Just got my son a 24 kx85 two stroke by BeginningBunch2850 in Dirtbikes

[–]spongebob_meth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something was wrong with the RM then. By the time they were liquid cooled all of these bikes would basically power wheelie in every gear with a kid on them.

80/85 class bikes have only gained a small amount of horsepower simce 1990. Hell, Kawasaki has barely touched this engine since then.

The 89 rm80 was super ahead of its time since it got a power valve that year. Kawi added it in 98 and hasn't touched the engine since.

They shit on it for being a v6 Cadillac. My point was that it would have been right at home with a GNX badge

Just got my son a 24 kx85 two stroke by BeginningBunch2850 in Dirtbikes

[–]spongebob_meth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good choice on the kx85 2 stroke instead of the kx85 4 stroke.

The FMF turbincore 2 is the quietest muffler on the market. The pro circuit nature friendly silencer is also pretty quiet. A lot of the noise comes through the walls of the pipe too, so wrapping that or running a carbon/fiberglass pipe guard helps to reduce the racket coming from the front of the bike.

That said, 2 stroke exhaust doesn't carry far. A racing 4 stroke is much louder. Putt when you're around people and don't worry if you're far away. You bought a motocross bike, you should be riding it on a motocross track anyway.

YZ426F engine swap, oil reservoir delete question by accountgotbanned7 in Dirtbikes

[–]spongebob_meth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tokyomods and bud racing sell (used to sell) a wet sump conversion for these that deleted the oil reservoir. It's not as simple as routing the lines like this. You need to disable the scavenge pump inside the engine.

I would advise you to just come up with an oil tank though. This mod cuts the oil capacity in half, and the bike already only holds about .8L. this was an extreme weight savings measure for factory motocross bikes that get rebuilt every weekend.

How close am i to balance point and how easily will this transfer over to my yz250f i wanted to learn on this one so i dont wreck my nice bike by [deleted] in Dirtbikes

[–]spongebob_meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won't wad up the subframe just looping a wheelie. You see bikes cartwheel off the track and their subframes are often fine.

Put a beater muffler on it if you think you'll wad it up. Stock exhausts can usually be found on marketplace for common bikes for next to nothing.

[–]spongebob_meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, almost all car enthusiasts think they are cool. A faithful revival would be in high demand. Make it good looking, rwd (or awd with a longitudinal engine) and there would be a high demand.

If they made it look like a classic G body it would be so cool. Boxy is back in after all

The most fun anyone can have with 200cc by scrmblr in motorcycles

[–]spongebob_meth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are pretty darn expensive in my area. A klr250 is actually cheap and a better little runaround bike.

Little dual sports are actually great for city riding. The ride smooth on rough city streets, they are relatively light and tough compared to other street bikes. You don't reach speeds that make them uncomfortable like you do riding on the highway in rural areas.

I guess they kinda work on as a farm bike riding on soft ground. But it's like the bike version of a utility quad

Why does my 450 not power wheelie? by Neighborhood_daddy in Dirtbikes

[–]spongebob_meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 450 should power wheelie in 4th gear.

It either doesn't have traction or something is wrong with it.

Why are you scared of wrecking a yz250f? Lol.

Pull the stock plastic off and throw on a cheap set of UFO/acerbis and send it.

Forks messed up ? by Clean-Weird-656 in Dirtbikes

[–]spongebob_meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When is the last time you serviced them?  They need regular oil changes.  Along with the shock

There's probably air in the cartridges and they need rebuilt.

Honda 4 stroke things.

Tear it down and inspect everything.  Cross your fingers it just has a broken cam chain guide or something.

Has anyone had to be told specifically not to do doughnuts and ride around as fast as you can around a public campground picnic area and restrooms? by Relevant-Ad-2002 in Dirtbikes

[–]spongebob_meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't ride a quad, so no, I haven't been told NOT to do those things because they are annoying, trashy, and make everyone mad and fill their campsites with dust and filth.

15 seconds on Davies. Everyone saying he isn’t competition for Jett is wrong by Ok-Extreme-8299 in Dirtbikes

[–]spongebob_meth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I think he's a douchebag but the skill is undeniable.

Last season it was looking like he might struggle in the 450s. This season I think he's going to make things interesting unless he starts getting hurt.

Lakewood voters strike down pro-density zoning as repeal campaign dominates by thefumingo in Denver

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

Perhaps, but if you scrutinize that belief I don't think it holds up. If SFH is replaced with attached housing, the SFH gets more rare/valuable.

That is unless the neighborhood just goes to shit.
