Re-joining the dirtybike crowd

[reciprocity]

Getting used to the differences between 2-smoke and 4-stroke is going to take a while... I've been warned that just letting off the throttle into corners or jumps doesn't work like the way the old smokers did... let off the throttle going off a jump and the front end will nose down... all that compression and all those spinny things in the top end of the motor, apparently...

Install a slipper clutch, it'll reduce off throttle issues significantly.

You'll also want a new chain, the one on there now is junk.

Stick with a non-Oring, MX 520 series.

I'd say that bike needs to be taken down and inspected and cleaned up good before the season too. I like the couple days in the garage at the time of year to start getting the bike ready to go for the season.
Good bottle of degreaser/brake cleaner and some rags and a few wrenches is a good afternoon.

Done like a dinner. Will consider clutch/final drive when I'm sure this is something I'm still up to.



Headed to the track for a full day next week (feb 29).

Glad there was no insult taken with that, some people are sensitive.
Wish I could join ya at the track. I have the time off next week, but I blew yet another fork seal on my last ride so I'm waiting to get my suspension back From factory connection. I blew6 or 7 of them last year so I hope they find the issue.
