First ever 'Single Track' ride...
Rage232 posted a topic in Yamaha 2 StrokeSo yesterday I went on my first ever 'SingleTrack' Ride... all I can say is WOW! Single track racers are CRAZY! I've seen a few single track videos and thought it was pretty crazy going fast through the tree's.. but now that I've tried to through the tree's, over the 90million rocks and ruts, roots, small and large logs, stumps sticking out, rocks sticking out, shrubs, etc...YOU GUYS ARE NUTS! haha I had a blast, but I def have the WRONG bike for this stuff!! My bike is a 98 yz125. Only change I've made for the tight stuff is 13/50 sprockets. I've read tons of threads on how great the 125 lightweight is and of course the famous "It'll make you a better rider" nonsense... First of all, the trail was extremely tight and I was moving a lot at about walking speed. In and out of all these tree's with no bark busters so was trying not to get a broken hand and/or finger... 2nd, and this maybe a jetting thing, I don't know, but going walk speed I was clutched most of the time, then when I needed power for the random 15 foot straight up hill climb with huge rocks and roots all over, the bike was carbon'd up and bogged a lot, it'd fall on it's face. I'd stop, hit neutral and ring it out a bit till it was capable of hitting the power band. Then the climbs became fun, but This is where the "It'll make you a better rider" really fails. These trails were way too tight to ever get out of 1st. I had arm pump bad from constantly pulling in the clutch and dragging it on the band constantly to get it un-carbon'd up for the next challenging obstacle. I was so focused and warn out from trying to keep it un-carboned, it really took away from the fun. The 3 other riders in the group all on KTMs. 2 300's and 1 four stroke. They could lug and chug those 300's all day, never carbon'd up and 1 small blip could lift the front end easily when needed. They didn't have to pull clutch or hit neutral and hold it WFO for a few to get moving. Overall it was a blast! but I'm going to be working hard trying to convince the wife that a new yz 250x is in order!!! I don't feel like flywheel weight would help any, bc I can go slow and balance w/out stalling, problem is the bike getting carbon'd up... so to avoid that, constant clutch and high-revving when hardly moving and I'm sure just smoking those clutch plates!! a 144 kit I feel would have the same problem, getting carbon'd up rendering the bike useless until you could ring it out. Maybe going to a 52 rear would help?? I just don't want to be stuck with 35mph top speed either.. I was soo beat, on the very few spots I could ring it out and even grab 2nd gear, I literally had to decide if I could sit and save the little that I have left in me or go for the un-carbon' and try not to die! haha most of the time I rested, but I hit that band a bit too, not for fun, just to un-carbon it, as much as I could.... Sorry if I used the term 'carbon'd up' 9milliion times but that really was my only complaint about the ride... Wonder if the lectron would help, or someone to properly jet it for this stuff, I just don't know.. but wow those 300's sure made things look easy, relaxing and fun! Even the 4-stroke guy was having a better time than me. I will add that I think they were impressed I made all the climbs on "That loud MX bike".. Anywayz that's my story thanks for reading!
2017 KTM 300 XC stock chain 116, OEM lists 118?
Ew83 posted a topic in KTM 2 StrokeSo I counted twice to be sure, but my 17 300XC has 116 links (stock chain) but all the OEM sites say 118. Since I've never changed the chain, why am I counting 116 links and not 118?
