Angela Hale...yep. She can have my babies.
Whoops! Been crazy busy!
Okay so picked this bad bitch up Friday after waiting almost 2.5 months to get it as the Bro Deal is the Slow Deal.... that's all good though. Got a killer price on a 2013 KTM 250SX! The meanest, baddest, coolest production 250 2st mx'er made! I decided on the KTM over the YZ250 after doing lots of reading up on both bikes and while the YZ250 is a great machine it basically came down to the fact it hasn't been updated much since 2006... and I want this bike to last me 4-5 years minimum. KTM has been continuing to update the 250SX even making solid changes from the 2012 to 2013 model. It has incredible Brembo brakes, hydraulic clutch, machined triples, 5-6 HP more than the YZ, etc. Main weak point is the forks aren't as good out of the box, but hey I'll get those worked on anyway.
Got to take it for it's maiden voyage Sunday at Pala and once I knocked some of the rust off I got going okay on it. Still doesn't feel like 'my' bike yet but I'm learning it and expect after a few more rides, and dialing it in..., we'll be getting along just fine..

Yummy....

So far she has taller bars, bigger pegs, plastics and graphics oh and a pwk air striker carb!
Hope to ride a bit Sunday.
Stumbled across this. Thought it was worth a share. http://youtu.be/qpNBjMa7qW4
2 stroke related. I was just changing my oil and realized that I ran premix for gear oil. Probably 5 hours like that. Uhg I'm an asshole.
Hmmm... What type? I'm guessing it won't be a problem.
Motul 800 full synthetic with ester oil.
Just change it out with some full synth 30 wt. I assume the clutch worked fine since you rode 5 hours?
Yeah. I would have never known, I was changing it and figured I'd kill the old bottle before cracking a new one. Then I realized the old bottle was mix. But, it behaved fine. What's done is done I guess.
I wouldn't even bat an eyelash at that. I've run two-strokes for hours with almost zero oil in the cases. As long as the clutch didn't overheat, or somehow get contaminated and start slipping. No harm, no foul
That was an expensive oil change lol...
The one I'm notorious for is forgetting whether I added premix to the gas. "it looks a little purple, but shouldn't it look darker?"
I've been known to add a little extra just in case haha
Geh! That video was boneriffic. Hauling ass.
ya premix as trans fluid isn't so bad...could be worse...I've heard of guys fueling up with the opposite (4t gas in 2t bike and vice versa...the thumper was upset, but made it...the 2t not so much!)
2 strokes, or 4???

In any case, he gave it a couple strokes too many!!!
