Halloween weekend. Should be empty
Do I have to be street legal?
3rd year in a row for me. Tons of riding, can ride technical or easy big bike stuff, or both.

my 2023 ktm 450sxf forks seems decent with minor clikers settingRon Shuler at ESR Suspension is the go to guy for the air forks.
i might try a revalve in the future but im not spending 2000 dollar fork springs
60 first day beginer class
What color? Fit a 2018?
4 is my limit. I need to sell one to buy one. Had to sell my old CRF250r
KTM 790 adventure r
500 exc
300 XC-W tpi
Gasgas MC450
Would be real tough to have to sell any of the 3 ktms. They are all pretty dialed. So no reason to upgrade
When did you sell the CRF450L?
Didnt know you had a CRF250 MX bike. Sounds like its gone now.
Good to see J.
Pala Fridays, Barona Saturdays.
How many bikes you got in the garage now?
Congrats Pokey! I hope the front fender is straight
Thanks Lou, fender seems pretty straight. Super excited, already order the map switch and rear spring. I still can
You might want to check out what Jamie at Twisted Developementb is doing with the stock ECU on these bikes. In the beginning of this year he cracked the code on the OEM ECU. He can't remap it like a Vortex ECU, but he did a really nice job on resetting both maps on the stock ECU to exactly how I wanted them.
If you have any of these issues you should give him a call. Bike is 100% dialed in now.
I had a few issues with flame outs (chopping the throttle coming into tight turns and then going from full off to cracking the throttle open) and the bike had a lot of engine breaking. The engine breaking made the bike power delivery feel choppy and I had to be extra smooth with the throttle to get away from it.
Jamie set map 1 to be smooth and linear with less engine breaking and little more over rev
and Map 2 to be aggressive, less engine breaking and more over rev.
To be honest, Map 1 works so good I don't really use Map 2. Maybe on a track like the Cahuilla main I could use Map 2, but damn it's aggressive ...
I have some brand new tusk hoops for that if you're interested?
Congrats Pokey! I hope the front fender is straight
Ron Shuler of ESR Suspension. He's made my air forks 90-95% as good as a KYB kit for a fraction of the cost.
With regards to the air pressure - The pressure in the forks is nothing but your spring. It is either stiffer or softer. The valving handles the "plushness" of the ride. With that said, because of the limited linear nature of the air fork volume, tiny changes in pressure can make a big difference in being stiff or too soft. You 100% have to stay on top of the air pressure. Just 2-3 lbs can make a noticeable difference and 4-5 lbs is huge.
Always bleed then set your pressure before you ride. I started the day and first moto at 50 degrees temps and 146 lbs of pressure. After my first moto and right before my second moto the temp was 70 degrees and the fork had increased to 149lbs of pressure! Huge difference in the feel of the fork
Anyways the new KTM, Husky GasGas WP stuff can work. You may want to think about revalve for the rear too as all the suspension tuners I talked to said it can make a big difference in the balance of these bikes. I decide to have Corey do a revalve, install a new anodized reservoir tank and change from a piston to a bladder in the tank. He only charged $300.00 for this mod
