    Plastic oil pump drive gears

    From Tacomoto's site: "The oil pump idler and driven gears on the 450/500 Austrian four stroke dirt bikes are plastic and warped gears and broken teeth have been the cause of motor failures for years." I thought it's only the KTM's that have these, but I read that the Jap bikes do too, and if...

    Finding my feet in a foreign land (I need a garage)

    I grew up in the sticks in ZA and moved to PTA in my 20's. Always had ample amounts of free space.. We moved to The Netherlands in 2016 and I had to start from nothing and rented an apartment for the 1st 12 Months: Not having a garage drove me nuts. One year later, we bought a town-house-like...

    2 Dakar's on 1 piston

    Admittedly I have a subjective opinion, given my current ride, but it is very impressive to hear that this Malle Moto rider did 2 Dakar rides without opening the motor at all. He only changed the clutch. And that's from a 450 that produces 70hp 👍 On some thread I once listed how many parts are...

    Rottweiler Performance 7/890 race build

    https://youtu.be/Eli2d9ht2oU Why?? I can only imagine how much all those mods would cost and what's the point really? I mean in rally race conditions, a 450 will be quicker. Who in his right mind would race an 890? JCR proved that the 450X was quicker than the XR650R in Baja, as it accelerates...

    R/G 7/890 rally kit

    I think I like this look. Definitely looks better than stock IMO Love how he speaks about increased 'voël' capacity  O0 Klink my jou 'voël' gaan laer hang ook  :thumleft: https://youtu.be/xil0sg3KKdI Still does not look as good as a 990 and no it does not solve any known issues  :lol8:

    No more WR's in The Netherlands

    I have been feeling a strong temptation to buy a new WR450F. Got worried when the local Yamaha shops only offered the YZ models and sure as sh1t, due to the Euro5 emissions and other associated crap, 2019 was the last model year that Japan bothered to ship WR's to the Netherlands. :-\ It...

    Stark Future- electric MX bike

    Sounds like its a Swedish design, built in Spain with some tech acquired from Alta and some engineers from KTM's electric devision. Max 80hp, which is insane but of course its way easier to modulate this to suit your needs. KYB suspension, very much YZ  O0 Linkage close to CRF450 Top riders...

    Lubing those nipples >:D

    Ahoy, I'm about to build a new set of wheels and was wondering if there is a trick to prevent the nipples from seizing over time? I'm thinking of using something like this on the spoke threads: Are there any better options?

    Pyrenees on a 500

    Reasons for visiting Scandinavia

    I'm starting to understand why they always score so well on the happiness indexes. Rules are of course needed to maintain some form of order, but it seems that if applied+executed in a sensible way, its possible to have more freedom as a society. If the level of trust improves, lesser rules are...

    Having a sticker kit made and shipped to EU

    Yes I'm desperate. For good quality stickers. Expert branding  used to hook me up with the utmost quality goods but seeing as they are no more, I was wondering if it's worthwhile having a set made by say, bandit, and have it shipped to me? Does SAPOS still function? Can bandit do a matt...

    Chain slap + rubbing frame

    Hi there. On my 2017 501: Chain slack adjusted according to manual at 55mm With 14-48 sprockets, at 60km/h in 6th, it will cause enough chain slap that it seems to slightly chafe the inside of the frame. Is this normal? I have to intentionally only shift into 6th at +-70km/h Sent from my...
