Price dropped to $5,000

This bike has roughly 25 hours, one-owner. I can verify the hours when I get home. I have added a Scorpion skid plate and Scorpion radiator guards, trials tire, Bridgestone 403 front tire, Trail Tech Vector, Pro-Taper Contour bars, JD Jet kit, and Cycra hand guards. Also included but not...

This thread was interesting. I crawled under the 2009 last night to have a look. I can't see how it is a drain for the ignition, as the threaded hole in question on mine is on the opposite case-halve (clutch side), and not remotely close to the ignition housing area. I did remove my cover and...

we use machetes, but lopers work equally well. Better hide your entrances/exits or the qwads will have made an interstate hwy out of it no time. They like to get on ours and ride it backwards, making spears out of the saplings. Nothing makes me madder than a qwad on the singletrack, ruining all...

I ride a lot of hard pack clay, rocky, rooty stuff. I normally run the M59 with good results. Recently I tried the M403 in 90/100 and have been extremly happy with it. Works very well with the rear trials tire, tread seems to be holding up good so far.

As others have said, I think it boils down to maturity level and ability, not so much size/weight.

Not sure about 2010, but I am loving my 2009 SACHS stuff.

Updated settings.

It was labeled as heater hose or something to that effect. Just black rubber hose is all it is (thicker then a garden hose). It was in the cut-it-yourself section. I just brought the joint with me. They didn't have the exact size, but very close, I was able to use soap and got it to stretch...

Isn't there a CR250 throttle cable that is supposedly longer that will fit? Semms I remember reading that somewhere, just can't remember where.

I needed that rubber piece for my KTM 300, it was $25.00...I went to my local Lowes and purchased a piece of black hose that fit perfectly and a hose clamp for each side, cost about $6 and never leaked again, plus I have enough hose left over to last me a lifetime.

The zacspeed unit is nice also.

For simplicity and if you can find one, the MSR Hydro Cell Race, not much room for other than a bladder, but if you only want to have fluids, it works. Mine came with only a 70oz bladder, but I have been using a 100oz bladder for years and it fits well. Also, a couple power bars, Skoal, car...

+1 on the Interceptor. The Castrol TTS seems to a good oil as well, burns very clean, not quite as clean as the Interceptor though. Glad you like the 300!

My 2009 had 15 hours before it felt like the suspension was getting broke in. The first ride, I left it at stock clicker settings, and a only set the sag. It was way stiff and rebound seemed way too fast. I backed off the compression to full soft, then went 5 clicks toward stiff side and have...
