Before you cross the border,, go into the Canadian side of customs and get a green card. Take any serial number,if none , the customs people will come look at it. You can do this for nearly any item,, They may use an engine serial number. But we had to do this with race bikes years ago. like GP...

If you run a two stroke out of gas it gets leaner as it is running out. If the oil is pre mix, not so bad,,, if it is a pump it adds oil accordingly,,more oil leans it out more. So you can be two lean with more oil,,, So running any two stroke out of gas is not good. Low RPM's not so bad,, high...

Best get some good ice tire covers,,,those like most wreck everything,,floor,driveway,trailer and of course your studs. I know a guy,,

Typically if you win an AM 600 class you are going Pro at CSBK. The confusion with SOAR was more or less in the past,, the early days of SOAR. Now the competition at SOAR is some of the best soooo,,, I don't think you can get a "By" any more after this past year. The riders from SOAR represented...

Just a reminder, don't leave your warmers,any warmers,any make,outside or in the unheated garage. Most repairs we use to do were first and second rounds of every year. Once I saw the pattern I asked people where they leave the warmers. In nearly every case they left them in the cold. Just an...

The programmable we carry and the one we are using goes to 100 C. I am discussing a 120 C model but not sure I can or will introduce that to the general population. "Most" can use the 100 C model just fine. Most guys use an infra red pyrometer. When we use the infra red we just check rim and...

We had the top finishers in the Superbike class all on our stuff. Less Thomas Casas but he was on the old style with a hotter thermostat. So Michael Leon,Elie Daccache,Jim Proulx, Thomas Casas and Jeff Williams. Michael,Elie,Jim and Jeff were all on our new warmers. Tires have changed so much...

You people do realize hot pressures are different for everyone and each track? You must set your pressures at what you may assume they might be and then adjust as you come off the track. There is no "Magic" number. What works for one is not really the same for another. I work to get a 0 increase...

7 is a bit odd in that there is lots going on there. You drive up a hill and end up loading the front because of the elevation, then if you square it a bit the ground drops away as you accelerate out,,if you are getting it only on the first lap then you should be fine,, it's also really,,second...

And you won't get better advice then that!

No,, "If" you are getting that Dunlop 1-2 lap wiggle then you need more heat. You can Heat soak longer and try to get more heat to the side wall. But if you do not experience and of the mistical one to two lap wiggle/step out then you are fine. But as you get faster,,should you choose to then...

What many of you fail to realize is the value of a good tire warmer. If we send you out hotter and at the right tire pressure for your riding. You may and usually do come in hotter. So we then adjust. So you now are going faster, sooner and getting better traction to allow you to even go...

well a good pyrometer is best ,,about $150. But anything is better then nothing. Just try to calibrate it with something every now and then. Also keep the battery charged as some go funcky when the battery gets weak. You can't actually test the tire core with it but if you learn to test the rim...

The next thing you all need to check, regardless of model, is the displayed temp even close to the real temp. Don't assume,,,, check it! What's your rim temp as well?

Here we go again. So a warmer is just a warmer? No not really. Consider this year the demand on a warmer changed huge. Or maybe we just learned what the new tires needs. At all CSBK rounds this year, the riders I work with we were sending them out at 95 C or hotter. The new Dunlop and Michelin...

If a mfg'er specifies not to use warmers,,THEN don"t! A street tire is designed much different then a track tire. Baffels me how this is even a conversation about warmers and Q3's. If you are serious about using warmers then step away from the Q3's and get a DOT race tire. Then you can use...

Glad you are okay "dricked",,,

Well,,, consider that warmers are a consumable. If you get 3 years out of a set they have done you well. You can make a warmer that lasts years but you can not make a warmer that lasts and performs as required today,for race tire demands. Just got back from CTMP. this weekend we were sending...

The mfger's do rave about it. But it does not mean you do not have good gloves. Pending the make, depends on the quality. Bigger companies buy more production and get first dibs on the hides. What is much better then the lightness is the fit is better. Kangaroo gives you a better fit as it is...

Kangaroo is a thinner hide and as durable as standard cow. So assuming,, we are talking about top quality cow hide and top quality kangaroo, you would get the same durability with the kangaroo being lighter. The cow tanning process is pretty good around the world and it is cheap. Kangaroo is...
