Re: 2020 Kansas Dual Sport Safari
Joe, I've done this ride the last two years. Last year myself, Clausen Troth and Hulsing rode with the fast guy Derek on the off road loop. It was a lot of fun and turned into a Hare Scramble as soon as we got in the woods. We didn't travel that fast on the gravel so the pingers would have no proble...

Re: KTM EXC 500 opinions
Thanks for that offer Luc. I'm pretty sure I'll wind up on a 500/501 or maybe a 350 some day but not ready to pull the trigger yet. Joe, I have you penciled in for September at Jeeps. This will be the 3 hr team race, (not the 6 hr Massacre in Feb, pic is from 2015). I think the big open course might...

Re: KTM EXC 500 opinions
Hey XR-Nut I'm doing well, hope you the family and the business is doing OK too, especially as crazy as it is right now. I'll have been retired 4 years next June. It's been good. I did a lot of research on the EXC500's and I may get one, (or an FE501) someday but I decided to let the one in KC go. I...

Re: KTM EXC 500 opinions
The only FI bike I have owned was a '00 Buell S3t a number of years ago. I just ran fuel stabilizer in it and let it sit thru the winter and had no problems. Can't you do that with the 500? What happens if you maybe install a petcock/shutoff valve in the fuel line and turn the gas off and run the in...

KTM EXC 500 opinions
OK, I am considering buying a used 500 EXC and would like some opinions on them from folks that have owned them. I currently have an '07 EXC450 that has served me well for dual sport and I'm sure would continue to do so but, this opportunity has surfaced so..... Troy, I believe you have a 500 and ha...

KATVA Fun Run
Passing this info along for KATVA. I talked to the promoter and it appears to be a poker run of some sort with paper maps provided and all turns are arrowed so no GPS needed. After the gravel road part of the ride, you can ride the KATVA off road area. It's for a good cause to help support Austin Mo...

Re: Standing on the Foot Pegs on the Street
" The article also states, "Having a good connection between the bike and one’s lower body can also help to leave the arms and hands relaxed for more precise control inputs." That comment written by some MSF instructor is why I believe he has little or no experience off black top. Sitting or standin...

Re: small bike luggage rack
I use this Giant Loop bag on my 450 when dual sporting. It holds a lot of stuff and sits a bit lower on the bike than a fender rack. It enables me to just carry my small camel back with water only keeping weight off my back. Can't remember the model of the GL but I think it was about $250 and is one...

Re: Post pics or video from your ride today
Here are a couple more pics of the Garnett ride, the "fast paced trail ride" was 162 miles. Started with 19 in our group and I think we finished with about twelve. A pretty good day.

Re: Potential new rider looking for advice
You might also consider a Honda XR650L. It has better suspension than the KLR650 and DR650 for any off road stuff you might do and it's a simple bullet proof bike, tons of aftermarket too. I used to DS with a guy that had one and I rode it a number of times. It was all stock except he put a small ha...

Re: April 22-23 FMHSC Round 4 Big Springs KS Pit/Bike Races Sat Night, Harescramble Sunday
Here's a couple youtube vids of Big Springs. BS is probably one of the most fun courses around as it flows very well. It's not a difficult course but that all depends on what pace you try to carry. It's a great course to trail ride. Has a cool enduro-X section. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKBnL6...

Re: 2010 KTM 450 SX-f Any known issues?
I don't have any direct experience with this bike but a couple things he may want to consider. The SX bikes I believe have a different ignition curve than certainly the XCW's and possibly the XC's. This may make the bike more explosive in terms of power delivery than the XC/W bikes. The SX may also ...
