    Have you tried "Filter Skins"? Its just a very thin elastic cloth, put some filter oil on it, wrap around the exsisting filter and when it gets dirty pull it off. Is anybody else getting the "I cant believe your going into Mexico, its so dangerous down there" If I had a dollar for every time I...

    An idiots guide to suspension adjustment?

    "I would encourage anyone interested in doing some careful experimentation. CHECK AND RECORD YOUR EXISTING SETTINGS, KNOW WHAT YOUR STOCK SETTINGS SHOULD BE, WRITE DOWN YOUR CHANGES. All it takes is two minutes and a screwdriver to set everything back if you don't like it." This is the best and...

    Is it socially acceptable?

    If you have to ask its not socially acceptable, so I would hang a ball off the end of the bars, you know where HD riders usually hang tassels!

    I run the Dunlop 908RR's, the tire is really made for a slightly wider rim than the KTM has, so I run them with a little less pressure than normal. 20-25 psi in rocky conditions. Too much pressure and things get bouncy and you'll lose a bit of flexability and become more susceptible to cuts. Too...

    I'm with this program as well. I should be in El Paso by noon on Sunday, so I guess we can meet at the hotel and go get this done.

    I carry a 21" tube on the front fender as well. Even though I've never tried, I think it would be quite difficult to put a 18" tube on a 21" wheel. For tires I'm running for the 2nd time Dunlop's D908 Rally Raid's. I ran these for 6 days in Colorado around the Ouray area, I would say there is...

    Last Chance Make Up Ride

    I've got some video I've been wanting to shoot over on Push this fall so this date may work well. I should know for sure the first of next week. 9 and 7 going and coming from HS are OK, the biggest problem is the traffic. Hwy 9 west of Melbourne is one of the better rides in AR. Brisk is good...

    Last Chance Make Up Ride

    You must be thinking about Conway AR. its a bit farther south. The Best Western (Hillside) is the hotel you want, we've done 3 or 4 TBA rides from there. Just spent 4 days last weekend up around those parts. Those dates may work well, Mark (glory Racing) has a small place near Jasper, I...

    Front wheel shimmy/hop

    I've got a Pirelli Strada on the front with 3800 miles and its past the wear bar, it still feels OK on the road, its takes a little more effort to turn but thats about it. Your way past me, you gotta be doing something right!

    Front wheel shimmy/hop

    A couple of things to think about here. For me just about anytime I have had front wheel issues, putting a new front tire on has always fixed the problem. Heres the good one, 4K is good milage IMO. I cant get that out of any tire, so I think you did alright with that tire, put a new one on see...

    Rebound Adjustment

    The FJR does not have SFF in case you were wondering. Do you have a better method of getting both forks set as close to the same as possible, without using clicker counts? Have you tried setting your fork adjustments different from one another? How did that go?
