    Stupid question 1 (of more)

    It can only die if no fuel or no spark. So simulate the turn, and check if the fuel line is pinched, or the electrics are shorted out.  Sounds electrical, so look for the chafed wires, or things touching that should not.

    Wanted - Ballistic Jacket

    1. The zip on the better ones is offset as the weak point is in the middle of the chest. 2. Check the neck brace fits comfortably. 3. Want proper spine protection. 4. Vital organs are in the front - check protection. 5. Will it hold together in a big fall.  The chinese ones are flimsy.

    Pros and Cons of Major Motocross bikes between 125/250cc

    A quick thought... Yamaha - not the best overall, but just comes back week after week and does it again and again. Honda - were the best at one stage. Suzuki - also ran Kawasaki - always got the holeshot, but needed more work. KTM - I raced a 250 (the white one) for part of a season, found them...
