EXP 4.0: The Next Generation of Auto Clutch Technology
Spider Tech posted an article in Articles,

I have a set of 2019 YZ450F cartridges that I want to put into my sons 2023 Husqvarna FC 450. It is the Rockstar edition, so it has the standard length forks. Tried searching , never could find what I need. We live in different states, so I don't have time to start from scratch. Would like to get it relatively close , so only some fine tuning when we meet up. Hoping somebody has used the The YZ 450 cartridges and can give some advice on where to start. I am assuming the Yamaha valving wi

1986 Suzuki rm250 top end low compression after rebuild and found bolt I don’t know where it goes.
I recently did my first top end after roasting my piston. After the rebuild, I only have 75 psi compression and sometimes maybe 100. I also found this bolt just as of today cleaning up around the bike. Does this have anywhere to go as I took the crankcase to check the water pump out or in the top end. This is a 1986 Suzuki rm250 model G. Also after replacing my top end, the clutch won’t engage.

Has anyone used the Black Widow Hitch carrier
Been looking for a better way to haul my bike other than my truck bed.
My truck has a lift on it and is a pain sometimes depending on where I am at to load the bike up.

I cant really make up my mind if I really want one as I can still load the bike in the bed of the truck ok but the hitch carrier seems like it would make things a little easi
How valves should look
Here are pics off an 80cc head. Intake valves look clean, no build up (2nd pic). Exhaust valves look to have oil caked around the inside (3rd and 4th pic). Is this normal? In the pic, the intake valve is the larger one and exhaust (one with build up) is the smaller one. Please let me know your thoughts. The clips that hold the piston broke and scored up the cylinder so i am doing a top end build but dont know if one of the valves is bad. Do i need to replace the exhaust valve because it is letti
E bikes.....
First of all, don't knock em unless you've ridden one...
That said, I'm a bicycle fanatic, ride both road and mountain (Specialized Tarmac and Ibis Ripmo). Have decided to get an E bike, am looking seriously at the Specialized Levo Comp. Main reason is that where I live there are miles of (steep) trails that are begging to be ridden where a non E bike bike would be not practical. I was wondering what E bikes others are riding and why you chose what you ride. Would also like to hear if you
