Thinkin' about moddin' my kids TTR. Don't know if people do much with those. Kinda like polishin' a turd? ...or can you make 'em rip?

Hey guys, don't know if you've heard about this new safety system being developed, but it looks very promising

There seems to be a slight flaw in their system....

i guess it depends on where or what type of riding it is...my buddy has/had one and we tried to look for stuff for it but didnt come up with a lot...simple exhaust stuff was about it if i remember correctly...

wow that vid was funny. you can mod the s&$# out of those little bikes. theres a forum all about them called planet minis. bbr racing is where you want to go for the best but they have a huge price tag with all there parts.

Just added a 1997 ATK 605 DSES to my stables. Fun bike!!!

NorCalToy · « **Reply #612 on:** Sep 22, 2010, 11:05:18 PM »

Roommate finally is getting his licesne and his own car so i can start taking the bike to school

NorCalToy · « **Reply #613 on:** Sep 27, 2010, 12:31:16 AM »

Rode the bike to school friday and it was sooooo nice. Didnt wait in line gettin out of the parking lot and didnt wait at the back at the stop light. Then freeway home at an easy 85. Turned waht takes 25minutes in the truck into 6 on the bike.

Hammerhead · « **Reply #614 on:** Sep 27, 2010, 07:43:26 AM »

Feels good to be back on the bike ehhh?

Me too! This ATK is street legal and I sure dig being more mobile. I took it for a nice ride over the weekend and had a chance to start gettin' a feel for it. Haven't had an ATK for a while and forgot how different they are from the Jap bikes. Got her into a HUGE slide at one point and was starting to question wether or not I had made the right decision taking the turn so fast but it held steady and motored away in a real nice wheelie. I think I'm gonna like this beast!

Next I need to see how well she likes air time...

NorCalToy · « **Reply #615 on:** Oct 12, 2010, 02:58:31 AM »

What kind of fuel mileage are you guys pulling on your bikes with what kind of riding style?

I only get about 30 if im ALL freeway riding with an avg speed of 85-90

With mixed city and freeway its a bit better and usually ends up at 37-41 with 42 being the best iv ever pulled from it. And yes, I ride full or mostly full throttle everywhere I go. Sometimes for safety, and sometimes for fun

kneedownnate · « **Reply #616 on:** Oct 12, 2010, 10:44:43 AM »

I haven't checked in quite a while, but I think I get 35-40 usually.

My old 07 gsxr 600 with a Leo Vince slip on and BMC airfilter would get 47 on the highway and about 38-42 on the streets..

Sweet, that's what I'm talkin' about. Do you know what year of YZ fits easy? Who makes that big bore kit?

On the highway I can get up to 40 if I stay out of it and don't do any hotdoggin' but out in the desert racing around with my buddies I get closer to 25...

kneedownnate · « **Reply #623 on:** Oct 22, 2010, 11:50:02 AM »

3/4 tank in about 45 minutes on the track when I used to ride harder

I kept pushing harder and harder each session and noticed I was burning more quickly through the gas I brought, which shoulda lasted me all day, but the last couple sessions I had to hit the track pumps. Good times!

Blake, I haven't done it since I was younger than you, but I do remember it being painfully easy back then. Just remember to scuff up the metal plates on concrete before putting it back together, and for sure get a manual. I don't remember who makes them, but there's a manual for almost every bike for about $25 and they're very good for beginners. Sure, an fsm is great to have, but unless you're going above the basic service work, an fsm isn't necessary.

HH, I think the yz80 went to inverted forks about 92 or 93, and they don't appear to have changed at any point, so I bet any inverted yz forks will work. Do a check on the part # for early and late steering stem bearings on ronayers.com and see if they're the same.

Yea the whole clutch setup is about $140 from the honda dealer when I called about it. Just another project on hold til I get a job and have some income

kneedownnate · « **Reply #625 on:** Oct 22, 2010, 09:28:43 PM »

Plenty of good quality options out there that are usually way cheaper than stock!

kneedownnate · « **Reply #626 on:** Oct 22, 2010, 10:11:17 PM »

I looked up the steering stem bearings for a 98 and 2009 and they're the same $Beer Chug\'n$

A friend of a friend just posted a little video from a helmet cam while riding his dirt bike around his property... man do I miss dirt sometimes! $I\'m Down$

Hammerhead · « **Reply #628 on:** Dec 15, 2010, 08:10:31 AM »

I don't miss the dirt because I still do it a couple times a week.

I tool my son out camping in Warner vally where they hold some awesome Desert races and gave him his first taste of real desert riding. Now he wants more than just the 125. When I spanked his butt with my ATK he couldn't believe how fast I went by him and left him in the dust. He thought he knew how to ride so I was abliged to show him how it is done... We had a great time and we have already picked up an old raggedy 250 Kawi for a project bike for him. I figure if he builds it he will appreciate it more and understand it beter.

Good times!!!
