But Its fun for me I just got my dirtbike a couple weeks ago so it's nice to ride somewhere 
Do you go out riding in a little snow?
Well goodnight im gonna hit the sack. 
Well gonna go take a link outta my chain and put a 12 tooth sprocket on instead of the 14tooth should give alot more low end power 
issed:
Do you know what mail services are avalible for getting a tire from the US that would'nt cost me a fortune?
Havn't been winter riding before, but I'll be going for a test run tommorow
Here's a picture of my rear tire tread compared to a spark plug tip. http://home.cogeco.ca/~lleepp/P1020212.JPG
I was out riding this morning everything was frozen and a tad slippery I found I got a very very small Coolant leak coming from my water pump just needs a tad of silicone/sealent put on the cover.
Just name a time it has to be after 9 AM though as I’m going to have to go too Canadian tire and get a couple screws and some hi temp silicone.
Im heading to crappy tire now for the stuff I need. I'm probably gonna be going to Ultimate cycle tommorow maybe you can meet me there
Let me know and I'll meet you at Ultimate cycle. I gonna see how much some tires and piston rings would cost me.
Had some water in the flywheel cover too issed:

I just got back from riding at kings forest wow some of them trails are iced I keep spinning trying to go up 1 hill lol. hopefully some of it melts today so I can open her up tommorow I gotta find some small spikes just a little something to help.
I found some special tire screws for around $16 US for 250 of them. Here's the site . Well I hope your have a merry Christmas
I wonder how much snows left at kings forest.
issed: I might stud this new 1 if it ever gets colled enough for ice riding
Suppose to be +2 out
It's probably a good thing you didnt come today. There was some deep snow on some hills tires keep spining uphills and my engine keep getting really really hot even with liquid cooling. But on the way back alot of it was turing into slush should be nice and clear by next weekend. Up hill in snow Pic
My bike does'nt get hot to the point it won't start maybe its just me imagining it. I only have had a cr 80 to compare and it never got hot.
? It's gonna be alittle cold. What area do you work in?
. Here's my cut . http://home.cogeco.ca/~lleepp/P1030023.JPG
I was ice fishing with some friends at the grand river and seen about 15 dirtbikers cruising down the river rivers about a foot thick.
I cruised down the trail at the side of center mall train tracks down to parkdale then to burlington st, got a on a service road and boom 6 gear cruising. Then I was at the beach on that semi new asphalte trail that goes to burlington read the signs for a minute nothing saying anything about no motorized veihcles so I unwinder the throtle boom boom boom 6 gear let the gas up fast then back on it and power band kicks in, the engines just screaming I was flying. Then I road the beach/sand all the way to confederation park and over to Kenora St way back behind the factorys and got on the trails there I use to ride with my friend and his bike. The trail was sweet I mushed alot of the snow down, pretty fun I burned up a whole tank of fuel. I saw some track there in the mud too someones been riding there I'm gonna start going there every once and a while maybe I can meet a new dirbiking buddy Now If I can find money for gas 
Just spent $62 on piston rings and base gasket, $30 for gear shifter and $15 for a new starter cover. and $13 on gasket paper I don't even no how much it cost to fill up I think like 7-8 bux
Plus I got $10 Damn i'm poor I feel sad : 
If you feel better and we go I'll bring my digital camera
It was pretty foggy today and that 8 degrees weather forecast was bs I was pretty cold at times lol. http://home.cogeco.ca/~lleepp/Kenora%20St%20Trails/
getting antsy to ride, even though I still need to get some more gear and do some more maintenance to prep for the season.
Should get some more power seeing how max limits for piston ring gaps like .025 and mines .034 lol
. The piston rings are in though
Maybe I can get the old bolt welded on by someone. I really wanna ride where can I get a helicoil from and how much is gonna cost me? issed:
it. You still going riding? My bike sure does run better with the new rings throttle response is super fast.
Always nice to try new spots Sure is feeling nice and toasty outside :D
That guy musta had a good party last night lol
The place we were at had the golf course then on the other side of the hill theres a walking trail thats closed. and the place has a no dumping sign on the entrance sry dont no streets lol i'll tell you this gas isnt the cheapest there lol. Do you ever ride there Milhaus? It would probably be alot of fun if the snow was gone and the ground fairly dry. Oh have you seen this thread Milhaus http://dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=111135 Were trying to get a group of riders to go riding and camp at bobcaygeon/minden for may 24 week.
| There was no, no tresspassing sign on the property and I know that tons of jeep guys go there on a regular basis it could be crown land for all i know, if it is crown land ill live in a tent on the top of the hill during the warm months and no one can throw me out lol |
. and my chain wiggles like its about to fall apart. So now I gotta spend spend spend. Here's a picture of my scrap parts. http://home.cogeco.ca/~kellyjo/Junk...rake%20pads.JPG
Yea I guess its best to replace the chain would'nt wanna be stuck up north with a broken one. Although I can still ride with it, I was going to just reverse my sprocket and get the teeth going back straight Edit: Well just ordered a 49 Tooth rear sprocket 13 tooth front sprocket and brake pads for a grand total of 110. now all I need is a chain seen 1 on e+bay for 16 bucks.
I found this manual page on carb adjustment for kdx http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/at...tachmentid=7033 
Im sure an auto-body shop could get the dents out for a few bucks.

Off-topic, but any of you guys ever banged out dents in a pipe? I read up on it, looked like it could go either way...a piece of cake, or a real bitch. I have some nasty ones I wanted to straighten out and wanted some real world experience. |
I think Im gonna take my pipe to titan if I ever get some spare money. issed: A wrench day would be cool. Any of you guys have a welder?
What week are you guys maybe thinking? It would be nice if there were no snow? go for a nice ride after tune ups. Just made some money so i'm getting some boysen power reeds, I just bought a DID gold X-ring chain bikes gonna run real good soon

and soon some boyesen power reeds. But atleast I got my KDXs head light working. Now I just need a switch so I can turn it on and off 
Do you have some other places to ride near by?

and soon some boyesen power reeds. But atleast I got my KDXs head light working. Now I just need a switch so I can turn it on and off I'm pretty sure that big hill near your place is legal to ride at. Atleast theres no signs saying not to just a no dumping sign. Do you have some other places to ride near by? |
Well im going to go take my carb off and see what jets im using now. Cause the boyesen power reeds will require me to go leaner, plus im already running kinda rich and its cold out
I Can't think to imagine how smokey this thing would be in the summer with these stock jets seeing how there jetted real rich from factory. Nowonder the previous idiot owner was running 75-1 gas.
Might have to change jetting and counter shaft sprocket,thats about all. Anyone looking for a spare dirtbike? I seen a 1986 Yamaha YZ 250 liquid cooled for $900 or he might negotiate a little lower..
Well im heading out for some kings forest riding suns just to warm to resist. I'm Back and wow what a crazy ride bike was just screaming in 6th gear after I raised the needle clip up 1 spot. The bike just wanted to go faster and faster lol. Shoulda seen the smoke when I locked the back brake up on pavement at hi speeds 
I don't need the riveter now also the guys at sturgescycle are gonna do it for 15 doolas + 8 for the link.

Got a 1 size lower pilot jet to gonna see how that works
Here's some pics from todays ride. I was riding near confederation part beside lake Ontario. The pic of the road I was maxing my bike out on I was flying lol. I also got into a chase by some guy in a beat up bronco i'll get into that later my bloods still pumping. I'm prett sure all of the snow will be gone down here by the end of this week. Theres not much left now. and it's suppose to be plus 4 and sunny on sunday so that should really reduce the snow.

John Cena ,the parts are misc. bolts,nuts,gaskets,bearings that I need to finish off a bike I put together from spare parts and some of the parts are for my other bike.What ever happens I shouldn't have a problem getting one of the bikes ready for the 9th.I just need to worry wether or not my bike transport vehicle holds together,lol(kinda the reason I want friend with van to come, ) |
How long are you guys gonna need to work on your rides? I think im gonna go for a nice cruize at the lake on sunday wanna burn up the rest of this old gas issed: Well I was out riding today on some snow hills behind the center mall. There was a guy with his 2 sons about 7yrs old riding 4 wheelers. pretty fun. almost got my bike outta gas.
). My bikes seem too high for a milk crate though. . My bike silencer use to be caked in oil/spooge, but since I went with a hotter plug and leaner pilot jet its getting better. What pilot jet are you running in your KX? I got a spare 48 dont no if what u have is richer/higher number. What kinda silencer is on your bike?
.
been to race-tech's website? They seem to be the authority on this and have spring "calculator's" on their site.
There should be a number on the carb near the float bowl cover on the right side when on the bike my carb number is V564FH08
I don't no about where you guys are but were suppose to get 30 cm of snow by sunday.
Gonna paint it and put er together with a new piece of rad hose as flex coupling.
What type of terrain can we look forward to at this place we are going to ? I'll be breaking in my motor so I hope it's well suited to that.
there’s a nice gravel trail beside the road down there, I was flying down the road last time never had the cops called. I got some pics from when me and Chris/oldscooldeath went.
