Have any of you used Bel-Ray 2T oils? I am asking as my local dealer has started to stock Bel-Ray rather than Maxima and I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread.

Short, sharp and entertaining, an ideal format for an X Games event............Head to head knockout races between the world's top MX racers. Pin it to win it as they say!

Oh yes it smells good Shuv, though nothing smells like good old castor oil. I used to run Castrol 747 in my race mini-moto and it was beautiful!

Mamima Super M. I used K2 for about a year then it went way up in price so I switched to Super M as it is about two-thirds the price. Rarely running at high revs so I figured it would do the very best. Mix at 50:1, runs really clean, just a nice wee ring of oil round the exhaust.

GasGas EC250 2010 model, registered June 2011. Taxed to 31/05/14 Fitted with MecaSystems radiator and sump guards, ProCarbon front pipe guard and KTM aluminium handguards. Recent plastics and custom Rockstar graphics. Forks serviced with new seals and oil last week. Bike will come with the...

Here's a video of an Endurocross run by one of our local clubs this summer, the first one in Ireland as far as we know. It was a brilliant nights craic and the crowd really enjoyed all the action. Your track looks a bit more technical than the one we were using, but it was a temporary track and...

Index finger on the clutch at all times and either 1 or 2 on the brake depending on how hard I need to apply them. As another member said, adjust your levers correctly, it will make a big difference.

Is it an ec or cc on your V5? My 2010 EC250 is a cc (closed course) model which was supplied minus road kit such as speedo, horn, indicators. It does have a working headlight (but no hi/lo beam) and a tail/brake light. These are the basic requirements to enable the bikes to be road registered...

Your local Yamaha/Suzuki/KTM dealer will sort you out with whichever needle you choose to go with. You may want to get a couple of different ones so you can compare them. I used an N8RH KTM needle simply because my local dealer had a spare one in his jetting box. It's still a tad rich but miles...

Check your jetting, especially the needle. Remember it's been scorching hot in the UK lately, though it has cooled a bit now. If you are still on the stock N1EF or G needle it will be way rich. If you follow Jakobi's advice on jetting you won't go far wrong and you will get so much more from...

Hi guys, my 2010 was starting to look a bit tatty so this isn't exactly 'newer plastic on older gasgas' more of a freshen up with new standard black plastics and custom graphics. Unfortunately I'm not getting any sponsorship money from Rockstar but I thought the logos tied in well with the...

I have been thinking about this too. On days when we go trail riding or a closed course hare and hounds I will always warm the engine before using the bike in anger. However, if doing a timecard enduro there is no opportunity to warm-up as the bike is in parc ferme between scrutineering and your...

I use Maxima MTL Ultra Light 75wt in mine, smooth shift and no squeal from the clutch no matter how much use it gets. I put in 900ml when I do an oil change.

I managed to get out for a couple of hours on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend for some more testing. I dropped the needle 1 position to #2 and left the 42 pilot in. Saturday was mostly tight in-the-trees stuff, 2nd and 3rd gear while Sunday was a couple of hours at a disused quarry which...

Just turned 40 at the end of February and started out riding a Honda 50 monkey bike at about 8. First real bike I rode was my uncle's mid 70's Bultaco trials bike, a 250 I think. It was HUGE, my arms would just about stretch to the ends of the handlebars and I had to start and stop beside an...
