    My 300 is by far my best set up bike that ive owned to date, my 500 is relatively stock in comparison. Swapped with a friend yesterday, his bike is sprung for his weight, but not valved for the terrain we rode (stock valving) I wanted to give his bike back immediately and he wouldnt give mine...

    FALSE !!! Ive owned over 20 KTMs and they are as simple on maintenance as any on/off road bike. The only interval that is more frequent is oil changes, only due to a smaller oil capacity. I personally change my oil every 10hrs, because I ride off road and ride them in elements far greater than...

    Depends on your intended use. More street or more dirt There are bikes suited for gravel roads and jeep trails, and then there are barely legal race bikes that are plated to get from trail to trail. There is no true 50/50 option

    Congrats on the new bike. Way to jump in the deep end right away, hang on tight my friend. You bought a race bike vs a milder mannered XC bike. Doesnt necessarily mean you bought the wrong bike, you just might need to tame it down to suit where you ride. Seeing as you have never owned a dirt...

    Which ring and pinion gear set and lockers should I buy?

    I ordered 4:10s and they ended up sending me 4:56s, which I did install. Was running 33's at the time, and RPMs were 3600-3800 at 60-65mph. With the exhaust I am running, it sounded like the motor was going to jump out of the Jeep (99 w/auto trans) Quick look on CL and found a semi decent set of...

    Chris, go find yourself a nice KTM 350/500 EXC/XCWF OR Husky or a Beta 500. Super capable for any dirt situation you can throw at them, and even somewhat pleasant for short road jaunts. Bonus that they are super easy to ride and not overwhelming at all (unlike a 450 racebike) AZ is super easy to...

    Snowblower Questions

    Sorry, didnt see any wheel weights in the pic. IF I wasnt running as much weight as I did, my JD would have a tendency to ride up on top of the snow. When I stopped, it would sink and get stuck. The more weight I used, the less that would happen. Plus my 48" 2 stage was super heavy I also...

    VRBO or AirBNB Short term rentals are the way to go. Most people that go this route are far more courteous and respectful of others property. They rate your place and you rate them as renters, nobody wants a bad review, so it kinda works out. Far better than dealing with shitty long term...
