I had a Yamaha dt 200 insured threw riders plus. The topic of 2 stroke never came up.

I work as a mechanic from what you have described a left hand drill bit is not going to work. I have a set the only time they work is when the bolt is loose. If it is as tight as you described it will just drill down like a regular bit does. But if you want to try I bought mine at carquest.

I was hopeful that they did not have a licensed mechanic so you could call the government on them.

Excellent find I am a mechanic in the small engine industry . I have a lot of training from companies like Stihl,briggs and Stratton and others about what ethonal is doing. I deal with this daily very frustrating what the EPA is doing. We have people buy brand new snowblower,s leave gas in them...

Did mine in Chatham last year lost some points for not being in the far right of a left turn lane and not checking going threw a intersection. I passed that,s all I cared

I used to work at a Honda dealer we had two bad crashes on demo day two years in a row needless to say we never had another demo day again

Rode to work today very chilly

Yes I worked as a bike mechanic trust me look at another field. Yes seasonal not secure I, m back as a small engine mechanic a little more secure can be seasonal too. Pay is very close and alot more job opportunities but I, m not telling you take this path . Car mechanics is a better choice...

You are better off with a used name brand bike The parts are available for the Chinese bikes cheap but one thing to keep in mind they are less powerful than a Japanese bike are. The suspension is very very hard not plush like a name brand bikes

ALways wanted to try it looks like fun a bit safer then motocross if you Don,t, take it to the extreme like some of the guys on u tube. Just really hard to find a used one not many to choose from

was on my 250 the other day and I agree with the poster I too thought death was knocking on my door. I,m a new rider and was scared I thought for sure I was going to get blown head on into incoming traffic

raced motocross for years and did a lot of trail riding always were as much gear as possible it can can cut your severity of injuries in half and trust me I have had many.. never go cheap on boots or a helmet had a bad crash wearing my leatte neck brace glad I had it on or I might be typing this...

was on my quad wearing a helmet and mx boots when a bee got me just were the top of the boot ends. Burns like heck ruined the rest of my ride
