I'm really really debating to making the 12 hr drive to redbud for their labor day ride day. Track looks amazing and I really want to start traveling to other tracks instead of riding my same 3 local tracks. Honestly you're the one who inspired me to just bite the bullet and make the drive to different places to ride. I can either go my whole life wishing I could've rode these tracks or just make the damn drive

It would definitely be worth your trip! That’s awesome I’m really glad to hear that, a little driving ain’t nothing when you get to do what you love!!

Getting in the deep berm on the outside definitely lugs down the motor. That bike requires inside lines to compete. Shorter distance!!! Also, squeeze the tank with your knees going through the sand rollers. Will help a ton.

There is only one way to deal with arm pump and that's a steering damper. Withh all of my injuries, I couldn't ride without one. A broken wrist along with epicondial damage and all off the rest of the upper body damage have taken their toll. My wrist isn't the same and is weak in certain positions, my shoulders are loose, especially on the left and then there are the neck issues. I adjust it to only take the nervousness out of the bars which relieves you of micro reacting which is what pumps up your arms. Eliminate those reactions and arm pump goes away or lessens to a significant amount. Plus the damper helps with the back kicking sideways in braking bumps and keeps the bars in your hands if you're landed over and the front wheel takes a sideways hit. You should try one. Eliminates at least 50 percent of upper body fatigue.

@mattburkeen820

Жыл бұрын

I think there’s more than one way to deal with it lol, I’ve never used a steering dampener and I haven’t always had arm pump. If it wasn’t mid season I’d look into trying one but not really looking to make a big change between races!

dude the chain is killing me I feel that drain on my 1000 I hate it ! on that thing its dragging an anchor around the mud... if you are forced to use the o-ring chain again at the Wick do this amazon order have it sent to the wick whatever get some 'gun oil" personal lube yeah laugh go a head ill wait. got that out of your system? good clean your chain completely then dry it then use the gun oil only nothing else it will give you back alot of that lost power and nothing else will stick like dirt only gun oil or platinum silicone lube gun oil is best, drastically improves the power
