Thoughts on Vertex gaskets and seals?
Hello,
Has anyone here used Vertex engine oil seals? If so how was your experience? Vertex seems to be the only brand that makes an engine oil seal kit for my 1994 yz125. I know I can just buy oem, but just 1 oem crank seal costs $20, and the entire Vertex kit costs $25. Please let me know, thanks!
Scared to wheelie!!!
Hey guy, so I just picked up a 2017 te300 with relatively low hours, runs and rides amazing I’ve ridden about 3 hours on it according to hour meter. I’ve been riding dirtbikes very casually for the past 3 to 4 years, I’m 20 and am getting into hard enduro. I want to slow wheelie/ wheelie in general, pivot turns and all. But it seems I have this fear of looping, I can get the front end up for a couple feet but can’t seem to stay on the bike and get it back far. What are some tips? I’ve never loop

GM patents semi-inflatable loading ramps
They say its going to make life easier for power sport fans, Im wonder just how much weight is it going to handle, Im suspicious of anything thats inflatable, if it happens it will be interesting.

I have a 2005 YZF600 Throttle cable choke cable issues?
I’m pretty sure I know where the choke cable goes (on the slide on top of the carb body) but am not sure about how it goes on and also my throttle cable makes a clicking sound when twisting it?

2002 Polaris Xplorer 250 2 stroke oil pump
I just did the top end on the 250. The owner said that the oil tank was run dry. So, when I fired it I mixed the oil in the gas and ran it for a minute or 2. Then I disconnected the oil injection line from the carb and ran it some more and I got zero oil out of the line. Is it a thing for these oil pumps to go out? What does it take to rebuild it? Or is it better to just replace it? The bike sat for about 2 years before I got to it.
Thanks!

Ltz400 double spark won’t start
I have a 2005 ltz400 that has been sitting for a few years. I bought it about 8 months ago. I just got a new wiring harness and cdi in, it has spark, but it has it on the squeeze and blow stroke, so it appears to be firing twice as normal. It backfires and shoots flames out the carburetor, and it doesn’t run.
