How much are you asking for it? Anything less than 2k, and people down here would be all over that thing.

And I know about the depressing shit. On top of a job where I work 4hours a week, last night I went to Quaker Steak since there's usually a group of Rucks that meet up there every week, and one of the members invited me a while back. I probably sat there for 45mins in a sea of bro'd out supersports and rednecks with Harlies... Fucking nothing, ended up just riding around by myself again. Had to pass the place to go back home, and an hour later there's probably 15 Rucks. I gave up by then.

Other news, I just gps'd my shitbox at 48 with a tailwind. Coulda broke 50 if I had someone to draft.

$1700, 94 with only 11k miles, front tires a little worn, No leaks, Runs perfect, fresh fluids...

I know that feel too, I wish the supermoto scene was around here, Try to do wheelies in an empty parking lot alone though and next thing you know you got angry cops threatening you if you don't leave, But they won't mess with a decent size group.

Sounds like a normal price for that condition. :what:

Are there any scenes out there besides Harley/V8? Seems like you complain about them not doing shit... No Hondas, no SM... They can't even identify a Ford Probe correctly.

Messed with the KTM today, Popped out the old wheel bearings,

Yuck, Looks like someone just shit on them and rubbed it all around

Brand new All Balls Racing wheel bearings and spacers!

Wheel bearing in now for the seals and spacers

Wala

Shit looks fresh

Now I can't get the bike started

There's literally nothing, No car meets, No bike meets, No scenes, Nothing, Ever since I had my cbr, I would ride 1-2 hours to knoxville and pigeon forge just to find people to ride with, Of course those are the "hot spots" for vacation here in hickessee so it's a bunch of old fucks in tricked out 60's-70's muscle cars and harleys with ape hangers and ass clapper exhaust, I only knew 2 people the whole time I had my cbr that weren't squid dumbass douche weazels and they both live on the west coast now.

The only thing here is 2 walmarts, 4 home improvement stores, 3 shopping centers full of shit no one's ever heard of and at least 8 auto parts stores, All the bike shops are around 45 minute to an hour drive and they're on the edge of shutting down due to lack of business and a porsch dealership for what ever reason.

I'd give anything for just so much as a Guitar center, At least there the music would be good and maybe, Just maybe I could get a job there and meet some people who could make me dust of my guitar equipment, I haven't been able to enjoy playing for years because I got sick of everyone hating on the material I was playing.

[R13]

Good to know I'm not alone

Honestly I would've done left a couple years ago but... You know, Family and all that s***... They don't want me to leave without them.

Anyways going to change spark plug on ktm and hope that's it. I figured you could foul a spark plug on a 2 stroke by not riding it hard. Since I rode it threw the trails before I left the track last time and I had the rpms pretty low for a bit lol. Idk

Hold up, Kurt.... You build bikes, build computers, and play guitar? Couldn't just pick one area of interest, could ya? :lol:

Sounds like you also described the opposite of where I live, I just don't know anyone within those groups.

Changed the spark plug and bike still wouldn't start at all. With alittle starter fluid it started right up though.. Hmm. Guess it hates cold starts? Havn't started it in about 2 weeks or is that a sign of low compression? Top end rebuild?

 

[96GSRteg]

What kind of bike is it?

Sent from my toilet

 

[R13]

04 KTM 125sx

Hold up, Kurt.... You build bikes, build computers, and play guitar? Couldn't just pick one area of interest, could ya? :lol:

I said when I first joined I get bored with stuff fast :lol:
Bikes seem to be the only thing I don't get tired of.

Check compression, Also if the tank doesn't have much in it that can make some bikes act a little moody, Could be reeds too but I'm not sure.

:lol: I know a decent amount of technical stuff but I'm pretty inexperienced with 2 strokes, This Yz will be the only 2t I've had since the pw50 I had yeeeeeeaaaaaars ago.

Bought a pre-fabbed hardtail online and lots if polishing. Lotta wk but its done now.

Without the forums and support I'd a never cut up a perfectly good bike. Never built one before, that means you can do it too!
