Supermoto thread

Tires turn blue from moisture (in the air or liquid) after a heat cycle.


Great bikes up in here BTW, keep 'em coming!

I may have missed the sarcasm.... But those are actually blued with heat. And not too bad being that is a 190 on the rear. They have been used properly and there are no strips on that tire haha. Just not used recently on the street.

Yeah I was messin. You seem to be giving them a proper beating.

That is sick.... we dont have cool stuff like that down here. We can get on to the base and there are old military choppers and tanks out there. But that is about it.

Anyone here in CT?

Being a sport bike rider myself, what I hate is when the dumb ass on the super moto, passes me on the inside of a tight radius turn in the canyons. And does the same thing to two of my buddies. The dude got so close he grazed my feinds elbow. Crashing because of my own stupidity is one thing, going down because some guy thinks he is hot shit passing me on the inside. Not somthing I or my other sport bike riding freinds take lightly.

Well then pull over and let them by when they blast up on your ass. 5 of us chased some squid on a new KTM naked something-or-other for a couple of miles yesterday, fucking guy hanging off and looking stupid, I'm pretty sure we were all bored at the pace he was going.

And on that note, fucking Kevin,

Nothing pisses off sportbike riders more than dragging a knee on a supermoto around the outside of them.

Just proves that horsepower means so little in motorcycling.

For those interested in the husky 610, I highly recommend you check out these articles.

http://www.motoiq.com/projects/powersports/project_husqvarna_te610.aspx

This is also one of the best sites when it comes to seeing inside pro-motorsports vehicles and the ways the pro's go about building a car. Will give you lots of ideas and inspiration. As well as showing the right and wrong way to do somethings.

The 610 is still pretty maintenance heavy. Mine just turned 14,000 and is ready for another timing chain.

Nothing compared to the race bikes though.

How many clicks out are you on the tensioner?


Mine has 16,657 on it as of today, on it's second chain and it's only 6 clicks out ( at the last oil change ).

I'r read over at CafeHusky that the original chain may have been a bit soft causing the premature stretch, several examples of high mileage 610's over there tend to back this up.

Anyway see ya tomorrow.
