In both of this type often does tall jumps, so that need good 's shockbreaker frontage and backside.

...Riders will often shave down the seat foam to give a wider range of motion and better grip on the seat. Steering stabilizers are also common, and help keep the front tire running straight when tricks requiring the rider to let go of the handle bars are performed. Many riders will also shorten the width of the handle bars, to make it easier to put the legs around the bars, like such tricks as the 'heelclicker' or 'rodeo'. Excess cables, such as brakes and clutch cables are usually redirected away from the bars, to avoid riders getting their boots caught on the bike. ...
.... Riders may also choose to have 'lever' on their handlebars to help then when performing 'Kiss Of Death Backflips.'

Motocross and dirt bike racing is as popular as ever, all over the world. Let's take a look at the many different types of motocross racing that are popular these days :

Freestyle

Freestyle motocross is sometimes also known as FMX. The main difference between freestyle and regular motocross is that riders try to gain points from judges based upon tricks that they perform. Tricks may include the 360, backflip, underflip, frontflip, carolla, scorpion, tsunami and sidewinder, among dozens of other tricks. There's also different types of landings and take-offs. One handed, no handed, side saddle, you name it. Famous freestyle motocross riders include Carey Hart and Mike Metzger.

Supermoto

This type of motocross racing began in the 1970's as a fun side project for motocross racers. Supermoto is a type of race where motocross bikes that are meant to ride on dirt are modified so that they can compete on pavement, as well as dirt. The track for a Supermoto race consists of both dirt and pavement. The bikes must have special tires with specific types of grooves that can handle both pavement and dirt tracks during the same race.

Enduro

Enduro is a type of off-road race with different challenges and obstacles included. There's often several stages and the bikers race against the clock in a timed trial as well.

Trials Motocross

This is a more straightforward type of time trial race. Motocross bikers race on a dirt track and they are timed. So instead of tricks or jumps, the focus of the race is purely to get the best time or to beat the best time.

Hillclimb

A hill climb motocross event is exactly as it sounds. Riders must go up a hill and try to get the fastest time. In some cases, the race may be to see who gets the farthest up the hill in a certain amount of time. Hill climb motocross is also called hillclimbing.

Supercross

Generally, supercross is a term used to describe an event, usually taking place in a large stadium, fairgrounds or arena that has installed an artificial and temporary dirt track. The track would consist of jumps as well as obstacles. The type of motorcycle used is a very high performance, specially outfitted bike made specifically to handle the high jumps and sharp turns that are typical of the event. Recently, there have been events that used temporary tracks that were modified to take place in smaller arenas such as basketball and hockey arenas.

ATV Quad Motocross

This type of motocross is not for motorcycles but for ATV's or Quads, also called All Terrain Vehicles. The bike has four wheels and special frames and tires that are built for dirt racing.

Sidecarcross

This sport with a funny name is also called sidecar motocross. A sidecar is attached to the bike where a passenger will stand. The passengers job during the race is to provide a counterweight. The sport has declined in popularity in recent years, however.

Note from owner blog : Motocross development not get out of the history's process, above mentioned types are development from riders that wish for something that differ, because this motorcycle has superiority really differ from motorcycle usually.

Each of us has a different reason for pursuing outdoor recreation but we all share the responsibility for protecting natural resources, respecting other recreational trail users, and maintaining access to our favorite recreational opportunities. The best tool to achieve these responsibilities is to maintain a positive outdoor ethic which minimizes impacts on our lands, waters, and other recreationists.

Travel only in areas that are open to your type of recreation.
Stay on routes and trails designated for your type of travel.
Don't create new routes or expand existing trails.
Cross streams only at fords where the road or trail intersects the stream.
Understand and practice proper techniques related to negotiating terrain.
Always travel with a partner. Traveling solo can leave you vulnerable if you have an accident or breakdown.

These are the fundamentals of reducing impacts on the land. Dirt bike riding requires specialized techniques for negotiating terrain. By learning and applying these techniques, your impact on natural resources will be greatly reduced.

2. Respect The Rights Of Others including private property owners and all recreational trail users, campers and others to allow them to enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed.

Respect and be considerate of other users so that all may enjoy a quality outdoor experience. Keep a cheerful, leasant attitude. A gracious “Hello”goes a long way to building a friendly relationship with other trail users.
Yield the right of way to those passing you or traveling uphill and always yield to horses. When driving also yield to hikers, and bikers. Leave gates as you find them unless otherwise posted.
If crossing private property, be sure to ask permission from the landowner(s).
Keep the noise and dust down.

With a little preparation and education, you can make your next backcountry experience fun and safe while protecting the environment. Always plan for the expected as well as the unexpected.

If the opportunity presents itself, take a course or workshop related to your favorite outdoor activity. Universities, community education programs, and outdoor retailers and outfitters often offer classes related to recreational activities. Education and preparation will make your trip easier and more enjoyable.

4. Avoid Sensitive Areas such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams, unless on designated routes. This protects wildlife habitat and sensitive soils from damage.

Other sensitive habitats to avoid unless on designated routes include cryptobiotic soils of the desert, tundra, and seasonal nesting or breeding areas.
Avoid disturbing historical, archeological, and paleontological sites.
Avoid “spooking”livestock and wildlife you encounter and keep your distance.
Motorized and mechanized vehicles are not allowed in areas designated Wilderness.

With the number of recreationists rapidly growing every year, the repeated and often unintentional misuse of land creates environmental damage especially in sensitive areas. By using common sense and taking a few precautions, recreationists will ensure that the natural places they frequent will remain available and in good condition for future use.

5. Do Your Part by leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species, restoring degraded areas, and joining a local enthusiast organization.

Leave it better than you found it. Carry a garbage bag and pick up litter left by others.
If you encounter repairable damage on the road or trail, don't pass it by. Stop and pick up litter and repair damage as best you can.
Properly dispose of garbage, sanitary waste, and gray water.
Follow practices to avoid spreading invasive species.
Protect the soundscape by preventing unnecessary noise.
Join a local enthusiast group. They provide great opportunities to learn more about your sport and local recreation areas and volunteer events, and can become wonderful community to share your experiences with.

Taking a little extra time and effort to minimize your impacts and mitigate the impacts of those who came before you will keep your favorite recreation spot open and beautiful today and in the future. See also at Tread Lightly!

Survival for Motorcyclist Trail Adventure

noreply@blogger.com (Ridwanars) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:24:00 +0000

Glad people who ventures on, either in mount, at forest or at other place, must always aware risk exist in activity. Erudition and comprehension risk may be will be got to be a factor esensial in preparation and activity's execution at open-air. Risk everything may be appear, related to dangers that implied in activity execution.

In general, danger source can come from ourselves self (subjective danger) and come from environment (objective danger). Subjective danger for example carelessness, perfunctorily preparation, minimum erudition and others. Because in character such, so subjective danger this under mastery or admit of us control. Objective danger be danger that threaten from outside our self, arising out from environment, earthquake for example, flood, beast, and another.

Danger above be relative explanation in character. There that be danger for certain person but on the contrary be fun matter for another person. To be certain, for nature lover that dominate well techniques base alive at free nature are fun matter. Not such for common ones, may be activities at free nature be assumed can ill strarred. But, however ready it we are in face of various risk, a time may be we are forced face undesirable critical situation.

Situation like that be matter is not guessed. Lost food provisions temporary few days more has attenuated or sink and we are awash at ocean midst. Critical/marginal conditions like that can we classify as condition survival. Survival come from word survive, simply can be interpretted as efforts to defend alive.

Survival Skills

Survival skills or ability survive alive ability that can be used to help somebody for permanent can survive in dangerous situation that (like to quake earth) or dangerous location (likes desert, mount and or forest). This ability belongs manner makes fire, find or make protection, make water safe to drunk, find and identify food, cure wound or dispute with use device. Every different environment type will give challenge and different danger

The important defend alive (survival) related to critical condition appearance. Can be questioned here: What causes that critical condition appear? or equally "aspect" what shall we face in situation survival? In matters in reality that we shall face to base on condition spesification, lost for example at sand desert or at pole will show different aspects. But the other side, detectable certain samenesses existence in aspect that will appear in every condition.
In general, those aspects detachable in 3 groups:

Psikologis: panic, afraid, worried. Solitude/self, confused, depress. Boredom and others.
Physiological: ill, hungry, thirsty, wound, tired, and another.
Environment: hot, cold. dry, rain, wind. Vegetasi, fauna, and others. survival.

Priority In Survival

In a condition to survive alive, there 5 (five) priorities that must be determined first time that is:

Which are positive mental attitude.
Find or make protection that can to give to somebody for permanent can protected and permanent felt warm and dry.
Human can linger during 3 (three) day without water. This matter relates to nature's condition with physically.
Fire, help to give warmth, neutralize and make proper water at drinks, Intinidate wild animal, avoid mosquito and another insect and give sign to another human.
Human can survive alive without eat during one week, but hunger will make person becoming not clear in will think, weak and easy assaulted disease.

Priority on not has absolute, mean removable or change depend on environment. But one definitive matter protection that is wanted in environment whatevers.
From several cases survival. There are some sameness that can influence success in overcome condition survival. Of course apart from God accomodation or good destiny. There three things that can be used to overcome survival. That is:

1. Spirit to defend alive
Oftentimes even there civilian to open-air faces danger in mortally the condition, but because strong the willing or linger, impressing he gets superlative strength to overcomes conditon. So. strong confidence to defends this alive is important authorized capital and dapa influence other authorized capital.

2. Self immediacy
Mean here one who has erudition and know-how that can anticipate dangers survival, land navigation for example, first aid, cordage, practise biology, science survival, field science and appraising, and others.

3. Supporter tool
Total and device kind that has also can influence success in survival. Survival without device anything with survival that has device of course differ. In case survival so use value a knife or axe far valuableer will be compared with credit card or polished diamond gold. So, device yes has at the (time) of survival will influence success and manner survival.

Basically to overcome weather with give protection in body, either from in also from outside. Protection forms that can be carried on:

A. Bivouac

Aim makes bivouac as pleasant shelter to protects our self from nature factors and extreme environment, that is: hot, cold, wet. Wind, beast and as it. As to condition that must be payed in make bivouac :

field condition (ridge, valley, wet. dry, opened, closed).
nature facilities that subsidize around we (are tree, foliage, cave, hole) and Ingredient whom we bring (poncho, raincoat, plastic and as it).

Must be rememberred in make bivouac:

bivouac don't until leak.
choose good location.

Don't too botch nature at vinicity.

B. Clothes

To hold back so that hot our body don't too much out, best we protect body with waterproof clothes and hold back cold.

C. Food

One of [the] supporting for body protection that come from within food. Wanted for calorie increase, give energy in muscle. and replaced cells or networks that broken. Food source can we obtain from plant and animal at area of around us.

D. Fire

Besides can warm up body. More important can increase psychological spirit. Somebody in a condition survival first time will choose to make fire before do other matters. Another fire function:

illumination
cook food/drink
make marking or code

Three fire maker elements

The Inharmony between the third will evoke smoke. Otherwise has flammable ingredient, must we lay a fire around us, that is:

dry wood little cuts
firing powder

Hot that causes incidence fire obtainable from match. Authority lens. Firing stone, and another.

E. Water

Very need to every life aspect and be priority in survival. If we are water deficit can cause dehydration (liquid deficit body's). This dehydration happens caused by evaporation process from body. Dehydration conditon that over do can also evoke death. From statistical is got; when does somebody not get water at all during 3 days so he threatened death. Manner overcome it us must drink enough (around 2 litre/day)s. When then water supply finished, so we must can to look for it.

Water classification in survival can we for on :
1. Water that drinkable direct. The condition not coloured and odourless. The example water from spring, river, lake, rain. Otherwise got water source. Can be looked for from plant that aqueous and bontoxic. Plant kind that aqueous:

Wild mangosteen plant, rattan for example.
Spread plant, mould for example.
Special plant, Semar poke for example.

2. Also show spring location because in morning and animals evening certain will want to drink.
3. Polluted water and want complex process so that can be drunk, the example are sulphur water, swamp waterwith water tall acidity level, water from factory waste and as it.
4. Polluted water but with simple process drinkable like: water that stagnate, muddy water, great river water and another.

Matter necessary payed if water is a problem critical. Don't consume anything. Because water not only worn to launch food passes intestines, but also soften and liquefy food. Chemical process between food and Intestines self want water.

Technique gets water

Based on evaporation

From plant

Titanium Husqvarna 400 Was A Motorcycle As Trick As They Got

noreply@blogger.com (Ridwanars) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 06:01:00 +0000

When Swedish MX star Lars Larsson lined up on this bike for the 1971 Indian Dunes motocross race in Southern California, his competition thought he was on a regular Husqvarna. He was instrumental in establishing Husqvarna in the U.S. and later went on to start Torsten Hallman Original Racewear, now known as Thor. But Larsson knew better. He was aboard one of the rarest machines in the history of American motocross: a 400cc Husqvarna with a frame made of titanium. And he used it to win both motos and dominate the Inter-AMA series support class that year.

He told them: Hallman Racing had commissioned Pro-Fab to make a small run of light, strong and expensive titanium frames to accept Husky engines. Other weight-saving tweaks included titanium fork crowns, handlebars and axles. The fenders and seat base were thin plastic, the gas tank was aluminum, and various parts—including the brake pedal and ignition cover—were drilled to lighten them further. The result weighed in at an amazing 189 pounds, or 25 pounds lighter than a comparable production Husqvarna. The machine helped Larsson win four of six rounds of the Inter-AMA motocross series.

Though legal when it was made, the frame was disallowed for the 1972 season by AMA officials, who feared titanium would escalate racing costs. As it turned out, Larsson didn’t need a trick bike to win. He went on to earn a gold medal at the 1971 International Six Days Trials, riding for the U.S. in Czechoslovakia, and he remained a top enduro rider through the ’70s. He was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2002.

His titanium Husky, refitted with a 250cc engine after the original 400cc motor was destroyed in a car crash, is on display as part of the Museum’s “Motocross America” exhibit. See also at Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum

Safety Riding For Trail Adventure With Offroad Motorcycle

noreply@blogger.com (Ridwanars) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 08:29:00 +0000

In general there are some tips to help us so that permanent congratulation in drive the trail adventure with offroad motorcycle, that is:

1.Koid problem (staying out of trouble),

Observation
Anticipation
Response

2. Riding curves

Speed and braking
Position

3. Treat intersection

Vehicle obervation that pass`away
Anticipation for everything may be not supposed
Response

4. Movement's space

Distance with in front of
Distance with side
Distance hindly

5. Environment's condition's comprehension

Drive intermediate good weather and dark

6. Permanent watch out

See to activity trail adventure with offroad motorcycle, so first one on actually be rather less approve of. Activity offroad with motorcycle although can be said safe, but doesn't mean to go away from problem, but Inclined exactly approach to problem. This matter will mean when we shall can to do observation, and will do anticipation to then will give response potential accident that. Equally, will study stripe that be passed. More and more information whom we obtain, so more gooder preparation that we shall do.

Riding curves or attitude in face of curve is important element for motorcyclist. The weak control and balance will causes incidence state of imbalance and Causes rider falls. Anticipation that can be done with decrease speed with change position sit to be a little more forwards. Riding curves this is bot merely operative at highway, but also operative at the time of offroad. Correct's calculation at the time of will turn to be a key. But at the time of do activity offroad bot rarely sight shuts either by plants or hill, therefore vigilance with ability turns while watch over balance is of vital importance, especially in ceramics's stripes inclined slippery even very slippery.

At intersection, careful towards intersection. To at highway, In general intersection opened area easy to is anticipated. But In village's road, or footpath, bot rarely this matter is rather difficult is done to remember distance looks at inclined limited building's good hindrance's existence's consequence, fence and or tree. Remember all possibility not supposed happen, so better, lessen vehicle's speed at the time of come in contact with intersection.

Keep distance with vehicle other. Operative matter not only at highway's track but also operative at track offroad. Motorcycle can not stop at the same moment, but want several cm, even meter dependings from speed before braking with stripe's condition. Ceramics's stripe very slippery want far's braking's distance longer from dry land's stripe. Therefore, look at distance with vehicle that ahead time. In track offroad dusty often sight shuts by vehicle's dust that ahead time, therefore choose stripe that reside in half it to decrease hindrance.

In narrow stripe, overlap motorcycle that ahead time also be activity that must be done according to be careful. Narrow stripe inclined bumpy in track offroad often makes several riders experiences difficulty final make vehicle changes position from left to right or on the contrary. To overlap in this condition is wanted speed enough with timing correct and available space enough so that doesn't happen impact.

In bad 's environment's condition, torrential rains and then dark, supposed rider carefuler. For vehicle's rider at highway, this matter enough be helped by street lamp's existence with marka another's road. But at the time of do activity trail adventure with offroad motorcycle, so this matter will be a difficulty aloof. Distance looks at limited relative with track that is difficult to passed because slippery. Try road groups with illumination enough with low 's speed.

Permanent wary… may be this must be done by motorcyclist. Quit of motorcyclist at highway and or at track offroad, vigilance is key from welfare. Alertly so permanent rider will can to responsive everything that. Rest enough, with will eat also will help to increase concentration with vigilance's level.

A. Use Device And Appropriate Clothes

Use device and Appropriate clothes will help to increase welfare's level and freshment. Clothes to trail adventure motorcycle clothes that can to protect body from wind, not hot and absorb sweat. Clothes's size best long to protect body's part from stick, tree's twig and or thorn. Use slacks to protect foot's part, with shoe that close ankle to prevent the happening of dislocation or also dislocate.

Jawa CZ360 The American Offroad Motorcycle Was Young And Struggling To Climb Out Of Obscurity In 1969

noreply@blogger.com (Ridwanars) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 07:17:00 +0000

Whether was the name of Jawa motorcycle originated from Java Island In Indonesia? We rightfully proud of that if it is true, but we don't know beans about that. The History of Jawa motorcycle not yet detectable. The year was 1969, American motocross was young and struggling to climb out of obscurity. In October, at the Inter-Am motocross race in Pepperell, Massachusetts, it got its big break: “ABC’s Wide World of Sports” showed up to film the event and expose would-be American fans to the European stars who dominated the sport. Although Sweden’s Arne Kring won the race on his works Husqvarna, CZ’s American rider, Barry Higgins, became an underdog hero to a national audience. He finished fifth, and top American, on this machine, beating several Euro stars.

Higgins is quick to credit the bike for his performance. Thanks to trick stock parts and solid reliability, the Czechoslovakian-made CZ was a natural choice. The year before, Jawa had won the 500cc and 250cc FIM World Championships, as well as the U.S. 250cc Inter-Am Championship.

The reason Higgins could get away with using so many stock parts was that the CZ was a top-shelf machine for its day, featuring an integrated gearbox, a dry clutch, a twin-plug ignition system and a rear brake integrated into the sprocket-side of the magnesium hub casting. Custom paint bearing the name of Higgins’ sponsor, Ghost Motorcycle Sales in Port Washington, New York, completed the look. Having been restored to its former glory, the machine is now on display at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in Pickerington, Ohio—much as it looked when it helped introduce motocross to the U.S. on “Wide World of Sports.” See also at Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum

Tech Tips to Keep Your Bike Running Strong

noreply@blogger.com (Ridwanars) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:17:00 +0000

With Pro Circuit's Dave Chase.

Today's bikes aren't cheap, so getting your money's worth out of your bike is critical to your enjoyment of the sport. It's possible to offset the cost of riding and greatly extend the life of your bike if you keep up the necessary routine maintenance. There are many little chores that are easily neglected; such things as lubing the cables after you wash your bike or tightening the spokes properly can allow your bike to not only last longer but to operate better. Some of these tech tips may seem simple, but we feel these seven areas are often overlooked—and have the most potential to save you money in the long run. So we caught up with Pro Circuit's ace wrench Dave Chase and asked him about routine maintenance.

Chase is an experienced mechanic and fabricator, with off-road and motocross credentials. Plus, earlier in his career he earned the S No. 1 plate by making fragile Husqvarnas survive distance races. He's worked with budgets of all sizes, so he was the ideal source for information. Here's what he said about exhaust-pipe maintenance, carburetor care, spoke maintenance and tightening procedures, proper chain treatment, the cleaning and lubing of cables, diagnosing reed-petal problems and doing a "quick fix" at the track should you break or crack plastic parts on your bike.

Cleaning and Lubing Cables

Lubing your cables is one of the cheapest ways to keep your bike feeling new. Water and dirt seep into your cables when you wash the bike. Using a pressure washer is even more of a problem. Cleaning and lubing your cables not only eliminates the water and dirt but also increases the cable's life. To clean and lube your cables, you have to remove the cable from the perch and lever. For throttle cables you must disconnect the carburetor end; you don't want to flush water and dirt into the carburetor.Put on a standard cable lube tool and flush the cable with contact cleaner. The contact cleaner will cleanse any dirt and grime in its path. Then flush the cable several times with a lubricant.

About every third time you lube the cable, reassemble the lever with some light grease around the pivot hole. The light grease will give the lever a smoother feel and reduce the effort required to operate it. The grease will also attract grit, so you will need to clean the lever and perch more often than if you leave it dry.

You must remove the cable from the control end
(both ends on the throttle cable)to lube it.

Motion Pro and some of the manufacturers sell
these little cable pressure devices.

The lube tool is sealed with rubber,
but the spray will leak, so use a rag to save the mess.

Pipe Maintenance

Plated pipes can be cleaned with any bike washing product, but raw steel pipes need Scotch-Brite. When installing your exhaust system, you should remember the seal between the cylinder and the exhaust spigot is crucial to your bike's performance. On a two-stroke, whenever you remove the pipe, the rubber O-ring (or crush gasket on some Hondas) should always be inspected for any cracks or blemishes. Even if it just has a flattened look to the outside, replace it. Some bikes have a thin metal ring that goes into the exhaust port to prevent the steel pipe from damaging the aluminum surface the pipe butts up against. Make sure this ring is still in place and in good condition. If new O-rings don't make a tight fit, you may need to use a thin coat of high-temp silicone to get a secure seal.

Install all pipe springs before you bolt the exhaust into place. This will allow the pipe to get the best seal with no binding. Installing the springs first will allow the somewhat-delicate vibration-canceling rubber mounts to do their job without being torn in half. After every wash, scrub the entire surface of bare steel pipes with a Scotch-Brite pad and some cleaner. Scrubbing will rid your pipe of any corrosion and make it look new again. If you have a four-stroke, you should always wipe down the header with a Scotch-Brite pad. Keeping the surface looking like new will ultimately make it last longer.

Cleaning a four-stroke header will prolong
the life of the part and keep it looking nice.

Keep the O-rings or gasket that seal the pipe to
the cylinder joint fresh and tight for best performance.

Exhaust pipe springs should be kept new and tight as well.
They age like any other part.

Chain and Sprocket Care

The key to good chain life is always having your chain adjusted properly and keeping it lubed. Whenever you install a new chain, you must replace the sprockets. When you have a new chain and new sprockets, they wear together. Replacing the whole drivetrain also allows you to get the most out of your chain and sprockets. Putting a new chain on a worn-out sprocket will wear out the chain immediately. Similarly, a worn chain will ruin new sprockets. For all but the most-serious 125cc-class racers, replacing the standard chain with an O-ring chain will save a great deal of money. An O-ring chain lasts much longer, so it doesn't wear out sprockets as quickly.

Whenever you install a new chain, make sure the master-link clip opening is facing the opposite way of the travel, so there is no chance of the clip hitting something and getting knocked off. If you ride in any mud, watch to see that the master-link clip doesn't get worn. The clip can wear so thin it breaks! Always make sure your chain is adjusted correctly and is lubed every time you head to the track. The best time to lube your chain at the track is right after you pull off. When the chain is still hot, it will allow the lube to flow inside the rollers and pins where it is needed most.

Make sure that the closed end of the master link
clip faces forward so it doesn't get knocked off.

He sprocket bolts must be tight or the hub will be ruined.
Many mechanics suggest using new bolts.

Spoke Maintenance and Tightening

There is a definite science to tightening spokes; you can't just crank them tight with a spoke wrench and call it good. When tightening spokes, always space out the tightening, skipping five spokes at a time. It will take about seven wheel rotations to tighten every spoke. Skipping those five spokes allows them to be tightened evenly; you won't be pulling one side of the wheel more than the other.

When tightening, go a quarter turn at a time with your spoke wrench to avoid pulling the wheel out of true. If any spokes are loose but the nipples are hard to turn, give them a drop of assembly lube or motor oil so they turn with more ease.

You can buy this small lube bottle at a hardware store.
Aerosols are too much for this job.

A small amount of lubrication (light motor oil)
will keep the nipples from corroding to the spokes.

Use a spoke wrench with a snug fit on the nipple,
and tighten a little at a time.

Carburetor Care and Maintenance

Four-stroke and two-stroke carburetors are very similar in that they both require general maintenance on occasion. If the bike sits for a while, gas will evaporate and leave a dry, powdery or sticky buildup in the carburetor. The residue may plug all the jets, but almost certainly it will block the pilot jet. Ideally, you should drain the float bowl after riding and store your bike with its fuel petcock turned off. If you fail to take those steps, it's important to disassemble the carburetor if your motorcycle hasn't been ridden in a while. Some of today's fuels can go bad in just a month.

On four-strokes you also have to take apart and lube the hot-start cable just as you do with all your other cables. When you wash your bike, water runs down the cable, gets into the hot-start mechanism and causes corrosion in the carburetor. If the hot-start mechanism corrodes badly, it could demand a new carburetor body.

Check your float level based on what the owner's manual says. The floats can come out of adjustment over time and with extreme use. The carburetor is the heart of your bike, and it should be serviced and cleaned on a regular basis.

Use a Phillps screwdriver with a good tip
that fits the carburetor float bowl screws well.

Clean inside the float bowl, then disassemble and
clean the accelerator pump on the bowl's bottom.

You adjust the float level by bending the small
tang that depresses the float needle valve.

Emergency Plastic Repairs

Drill small, paired holes along both sides of the crack that needs repair. If you break a fender or a shroud while at the track, there are quick and dirty ways to repair the crack or break so you can finish your ride. You can stitch up your plastic just as a doctor would stitch up a cut. Just drill a few holes on both sides of the crack and run a few zip-ties across. Also, you must drill a hole at the end of the crack so the crack doesn't continue. Don't space the holes more than 1/2 inch apart. It may not be the prettiest way of repairing your bike, but when you're out at the track, it's an easy fix and it really works!

Make sure there are sufficient holes
for the repair to have strength.

Use plastic zip-ties or safety
wire to "sew" the repair together.

The temporary repair isn't
pretty but it amazingly effective.

Reed Maintenance

When your bike becomes hard to start or won't carburet cleanly at small throttle openings, you should begin to suspect your bike has a reed problem. When you pull out the reed cage, look at the outer corners of the reed petals. Usually, the first area to wear is the outer corners, which will chip or fray. Any chipping or fraying will keep the reed from sealing completely. Whenever you see any damage or wear to the reed edges, you must replace the reed petals. Simply remove the screws that hold the petal in place and install a new one.

Use a quality screwdriver, since the screws are often sealed in place with a thread-locking compound. Plus, the heads are tiny, and you don't want to risk stripping them. When you install the new petal, make sure it is indexed properly. Simply match it up with the shape of the cage and the petal stop. When you screw the petal back into place, be sure to use a thread-locking agent on the screws so they have no chance of backing out; digesting a reed-petal screw is bad news for a two-stroke engine. Also, make sure you use a fresh gasket (if any) when you put the reed cage back in the motor.

Reeds usually install only one way.
Note that one corner is round and the other angled.

Reeds tend to show wear at the tips and front corners.
They can fray or even chip.

Use Loctite on the screws that hold the reeds to the cage.
The engine won't like digesting one.

Monark 500 Formerly Be The Other Offroad Motorcycle From Sweden In 1963

noreply@blogger.com (Ridwanars) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 03:30:00 +0000

Besides Husqivarna that be one of the offroad motorcycle from Sweden, obvious before year 60 denunciated to another Swedish company ever produce sport motorcycle named Monark. Monark’s origins stretch all the way back to 1913, when the Esse brand was introduced. The name changed to Monark in 1927, and when MX got its start in Europe after World War II, the company got involved in the sport.

Monark bikes earned success in the prestigious International Six Days Enduro. And in 1959, Swedish rider Sven Lundin rode a 500cc Monark to the FIM World Championship, repeating that achievement in 1961. The company’s line of competition machines used the standard formula of the era: a single-cylinder four-stroke engine in a lightweight frame. Monark specialized in the second half of that equation, combining hand-built chassis and top-shelf suspension components. To provide the power, the company purchased engines from several of the premier manufacturers of the day.

This 1963 Monark 500 is a good example. Starting with a 500cc four-stroke by Albin, another Swedish company, Monark came up with frame geometry that moved the rider farther forward, then pared the rest of the machine down to its essentials. This particular machine, owned by John Sawarzhki, is one of the rarest bikes in the “Motocross America” exhibit in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum at AMA headquarters in Pickerington, Ohio. Not only is it a Monark, but it was restored by none other than Motorcycle Hall of Famer Dick Mann, who earned two championships in dirt-track racing, but was also among the earliest American MX enthusiasts.

The Monark company survived into the 1970s, ultimately following its competitors into the two-stroke era of off-road motorcycling. But by then, the Japanese brands were beginning to dominate the sport, and Monark went out of business in 1975. See also at Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum

The Offroad Motorcycle That Started A Revolution For Trail Adventure From Husqvarna Racer

noreply@blogger.com (Ridwanars) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 09:08:00 +0000

Pass somebody's point of view and this machine so American motocross has got the triumph. It all started in 1963, when Harley-Davidsons and Triumphs and BSAs ruled the roads, and a man named Edison Dye took a motorcycle tour of Europe. For U.S. riders back then, offroad bikes were not far removed from road bikes, and Dye was instantly enthralled with the European sport of motocross, and the new breed of lightweight two-stroke bikes favored by its competitors. He was particularly taken with the machines from Swedish maker Husqvarna. In ’63, Husqvarna built a works production two-stroke motocrosser.

Before then, Husky’s two-stroke motocrossers were prototype or one-off machines built from the 175cc Silver Pilen, which was a street bike. With their glistening red-and-chrome tanks, alloy heads and cylinders, and distinctive two-stroke exhaust notes, the works Husqvarnas were quickly making their mark in the then-new 250cc class of world motocross racing, and Dye could not help but notice.

A few years later, Dye put a Husqvarna motocrosser in the hands of a rider named Malcolm Smith for evaluation. When it got the thumbs up, Dye became the U.S. Husqvarna importer in 1966. Shortly thereafter, John Penton became Husqvarna’s Eastern U.S. distributor. To help spread the Husky gospel, Dye orchestrated visits by Torsten Hallman, the Swedish world motocross champion, and later, entire teams of European motocross racers. Dye’s goal was to sell Husqvarnas, but those exhibitions also showed Americans a new style of motorcycle racing. The rest, as they say, is history. See also at Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum

Trail Adventure Motorcyclist's Organization Be The That Responsible

The Best In The First Four-stroke Offroad Motorcycle Era From Manx Norton 500

noreply@blogger.com (Ridwanars) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 18:21:00 +0000

In this time four-stroke motocross machines are replace two-stroke, formerly two-strokey always dominate race competition since 1960. But age formerly two-stroke same like four-stroke, and then racer replaced it with motorcycle kind likes this. Differ from Harley Davidson that discussed in previous article, still has two-stroke motocross machines.

In the early 1960, offroad motorcycle bot more exclusive from hand-built Manx Norton 500cc offroader that has energy road racing engine. In the begining, brainchild makes this motorcycle comes from British that is Les Archer racer, frame builder Ron Hankin and engine tuner Ray Petty. Cooperation that done produce and prove the success, take Les Archer use hanskins-built Norton and beat European Motocross Championship in 1956, some years then be World Motocross Championship.

Instead of the tried-and-true long-stroke Norton engine he had used for years, Archer bolted a more powerful double-overhead-cam, short stroke road racing engine, prepared by Petty, into Hankins' custom frame. And take over they did. By the second half of the '60s, even exotic four-strokes like this one, with its aluminum tank and titanium axles, couldn't compete with the explosive power of lighter two-stroke bikes.

YAMAHA YZ250F Emergence For Trail Adventure In Year 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Ridwanars) — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 19:07:00 +0000

Yamaha company will return present motorcycle product off-road type YZ250F at year 2010 with a few development. This motorcycle expected by many trail adventurer, off-roader and motocrosser in all this hemisphere. Even between motocrosser try and test it as comparison. Of course we expect type YZ250F this better from previous. Speciality that added from this motorcycle has colour choice more various, usually Yamaha company only give blue colour choice and white. You can see spesification info and several pictures hereunder.

The Features : Designed has bilateral beam frame for type 250 and more compact than previous generation motor frame. Rider seat is closer with wheel in front of, this matter makes rigidity and balance better in drive it. Rider can get quicker gas and cross finish line without exhaustion even alongside match stripe.Engine optimise gives new level a strength from low to mid range, with a great torquey feel, exactly where riders want it. That is due to the new straight intake boot that enhances breathing, new carburetor that provides excellent throttle response and fuel atomization, and redesigned valve train components that reduce inertial mass and boost low end torque. Exhaust is also enhanced with a new D-shaped exhaust port and newly designed exhaust system. Ongoing refinement to the suspension and engine produces an amazingly balanced, light-handling machine with performance thats accessible to all levels of riders. Designed also with new look stresses light heavy bike and nimble handle character. The sharp, bike horizontal line set apart, cleanly, and seen aggresiveer.

Suspension from KYB has been recalibrated in front of and backside and adjusted new bilateral beam frame to unequaled handles. The clutch lever has a lighter pull feel even though the clutch has stronger engagement. The new clutch also has a wider engagement range that will give riders an advantage off the line. No doubt that is YZ250F uncomparable courage from this four-stroke is as motorcycle the 1st four-stroke at market, as the 1st to win at international race, the 1st win at AMA Supercross and the 1st get degree at AMA U. S. Supercross Championship, as good as the 1st win at AMA National race.

Engine : The valve spring retainers are now lightweight aluminum instead of steel, and valve spring pressure is lighter for reduced valve opening force. This contributes to superior low-to-mid range torque characteristics due to less power-robbing friction. Thereâs also a new, higher lift cam profile, while valve stem ends are chromium-nitride coated for exceptional reliability and reduced maintenance. The exhaust port shape has round form. This increases velocity through the port for excellent throttle response, meanwhile also increase strength from engine. The newly designed radiator is lower and further back and the oil tank is more compact and repositioned to achieve greater mass centralization. The carburetor bore has a new venturi shape, plus theres recalibrated jetting and a new accelerator pump.

This translates to impressive response when the rider snaps open the throttle, and contributes to superb torquey low-to-midrange power characteristics. The intake boot offers a straight, smooth tract for excellent engine breathing and more power. The airbox is reshaped to tuck neatly into the Bilateral Beam frame. The exhaust pipe has been carefully tuned to optimize engine power, with a muffler thats 50mm longer and with a narrower core a design that lets the YZ250F comfortably meet the latest noise standards without sacrificing power. Engineers were able to increase the clutch spring load for stronger engagement, yet, thanks to a recalibrated clutch actuation arm cam ratio, lever pull is actually lighter than before. Third and fourth gear ratios are slightly taller, and third, fourth, and fifth gears are stronger than ever with new drive dog shapes for positive engagement. That gives riders a strong gearbox thats been carefully matched to engine power characteristics.

Chassis/Suspension : The Bilateral Beam frame is crafted from a carefully chosen combination of forged and extruded aluminum pieces 20 in all welded together to provide unmatched rigidity balance. The KYB speed-sensitive front fork delivers exceptional damping feel, responsiveness, and bump absorption characteristics. Damping settings are revised, the piston rods have a new surface treatment, and the oil seal is a new design. The 4-way-adjustable KYB rear shock has been redesigned to make the most of the Bilateral Beam frame design. Its lower in the frame for excellent mass centralization, and has new damping characteristics.

The new tank, seat, and rear fender are flat and the relationship between handlebars, pegs, and seat result in a natural, more forward riding position that facilitates rider movement. The fuel tank has been moved toward the center of the bike for mass centralization. The ProTaper bars are four-way adjustable, and handlebar mounts and footpegs are 5mm higher to optimize rider position on the new chassis.

Additional Features : The CDI unit has revised ignition mapping to match new engine intake and exhaust specs.Riders have a choice of two color options: Team Yamaha Blue and White or White and Red.
