Moose has a nice adjustable tire change stand. It's sweet. Can't use a bucket anymore.

6.28x18 - Still made. I thought about getting one for the 950 but the knobs are so big they depart from the carcass at high speed on the highway after time. Still may do it and keep them on my dirt rims.
Buttoned the 640 up last night after installing new linkage bearing and valve check

I brought home a new baby today! Excited to get back on a bike. It has been over a year for me. The tear down has begun. Thanks to Mr. DMX153 for the tip on the bike. Come get your finder's fee whenever you are allowed.

didnt work on my bike, but had someone drop off a non running 98 yz250 for me to work on. drained out the old gas, cleaned the air filter, new plug, fresh gas, clean the carb, fired up 2nd kick. trapped as much 2 stroke exhaust in the garage as I could

My stuff is done, been done since I don't get to ride much anymore. I did spend the last two days tearing the kids quad down to the frame. Off to Miracle Custom Coatings for a fresh new look! I even managed to inventory the "77" XR 75 parts, maybe I will finish it this year.

If that doesn't work, take your axle and old bearing to a bearing reseller like Bearings Inc. They can match the axle diameter to your existing bearings width and outer diameter. Those bearing usually cost between $7 and $15 each.

Someone needs to make a car air freshener that smells like 2 stroke exhaust...

That wouldn't make you pass out after a while. Mixed race gas is just so mouth watering. Instantly gets the endogenous adrenaline flowing!

Well the other day i finally did some work on the bikes. I took some time off since may... after all, graduating college, completing an internship, moving, landing a full time job, and buying a house can be quite the work load. Now that everything has settled down and i have been at my job long enough to risk getting hurt, its back on the old girl
finally moved everything into my new 2 stall garage this weekend... went to start my fiances rmz 250, and it runs like poo... also sat on it and it felt like crap (she also hasnt ridden since may)... soo i cleaned the carb on her bike (clogged main jet), drained the fuel and put new fuel in it. tore apart the linkage and the bottom bearing was bad... tore each needle out and scuffed them and packed it full of greese.. good to go, at least until the new kit comes in.
good news is, after all that, jumped on my trusty cr 250 and it started on the 2nd kick after sitting... gotta love it. after that i still decided to drain the gas (since it is probably 80 octane by now) and mixed up a new tank for it.
this weekend should be my first ride down here in virginia, im pretty excited. when i first started looking for tracks i was bummed. there are a lot within 1.5-3 hours (lake sugar tree, budds creek, actiontown, tomahawk, VMP, etc) but didnt seem to be many close. i have recently found some outlaw practice tracks within 45 minutes and am ready to get back into it.

I actually ordered one of these bike lifts from the link pitracer posted. Pulled it out of the box & the cylinder was frooze up and would not lift up.
They are suppose to be sending me a replacement cylinder this week....see what happens
