Racing in a scramble this weekend and its gonna be MUDDY! Been raining for a week and is goin to continue thru the race this sunday. So i have seen people prep bikes for really muddy conditions by packing foam into spots where mud can go. Do you glue it in somehow or just cram a bunch in. What kind of glue would u use? Where all can you should you put it? What other tips and tricks can you use? Any links to pages with this info. Any gear prep like rain-x the goggles. Bike is an 07 KTM 300XC-W running a trials tire. damn i love that thing. Thanks for helping us 2smokers out.

Cooking spray under the fenders and on and around the foot pegs.Or use Maxima SC-1 instead of cooking spray.Go a tad looser on the chain adjustment and add a little more comp. to the shock and fork(2-3 clicks) to anticipate the added weight.Pack your skid plate with open cell foam and zip-ty some to your shifter you shouldn't need glue.Also use SC1 on your rims and run a little less air(1-2 psi less) for a bigger contact patch.Use roll-offs and run full waffle grips for extra grippage. Use open cell foam on any air box openings....be creative.Also build a bridge on your rear fender under your seat with duct tape to divert any water that will go between your seat and fender and soak your air filter.Duct tape your boots where they meet with your pants to prevent mud and water in your boots.Pam or SC1 anything except your brakes to keep your bike light.Oh....and have fun because mud races are the funnest!!!!Good luck hope I gave you some ideas!!!!On a final note use a rain proof coat with some carefully placed slits cut in it to prevent you from getting too hot.

Having run mud races and rides for about 5 years while living in PNW,, +1000 on MXandy63 suggestions. I used tons of the no name brand cooking spray.. Coated everything but brakes AND SEAT.. Watch the over spray on the seat. I much prefer tear offs to roll off-s for mud and rain. Too many times I had the roll off film stick to the lens, or the film canister / mechanism get gummed up with mud and not want to advance.
Spare gloves and goggles, every pair you have, worn or not.. Anything , even worn out or scratched will be better dry and clean, then the newest pair of goggles or gloves that are wet and muddy. If you’re doing a gas stop change then, if not have um ready anyway. If rules allow, the time it takes to change gloves and goggles in a quick pit will be made up in an hour long race by many if riding with good grip and clear view. Or at least in my opinion and experience.
