General talk about supermoto that doesn't fit in other categories.
Hey, I don't know if there is much interest in this, but after answering a question in another thread, I realized that most people here have no clue how bike shops work. I've basicly held most every job you can have at a couple, and figured I could help. I think if you know how dealers work, maybe...
some members figured since there are loads of stickies and threads on how to properly set up a bike we should also look into a gear specific sticky. this topic is ment to provide reviews about gear specific items written by members for other members. to keep every organised I'm going to ask...

Hi guys, I recently joined the forum, and am seeking some info and input on purchasing a new bike from a dealer. The situation is that I do not have cash sitting on the side in order to do private party, but am more than capable of making payments. I found few bikes out there, 2010 models,...

I am trying to pick a pair of overpants so I can commute to work in my work clothes and not get covered in bug guts. I have to wear dress pants and Dockers are not going to provide much protection if I were to go down. Looking at these. ...
So I think I chose the WR250x over the DRZ, and it should be getting to my dealer in a month or two. What should be the first mods I look into? I figured a pipe at least. :bannana:
I ran into an article a while back about a supermoto video game.. anyone heard of it?
How do you go about getting a title for a bike you find in the trash?
I don't know if my computer is on the fritz but I can hardly take the new look of SMJ - what was wrong with the old look. The colors are hard on the eye. Any other opinions?
We're thrilled to update our fans about this. Today, we made our first donations, $200 in total, and we feel great about it. We came through for our fans as promised. One-hundred dollars went to Peter Lenz today, a young, talented racer that is riding on fumes right now. He needs every penny...
Go out on eBay and search for "keychain cam" and "8gb Micro SD" and you too can have this setup: It'll record for 30min bites over 2.5 hrs at 8gb. It saves in .avi format and hooks to your pc like a thumb drive.
well? are they awesome?

Hi all, I would like to know if there is an international tyre dealer site that ships to italy where I can buy cheap tyres for street motorbyke or retread tyres for off-road training. Thank you for your suggestions. __________________ Never seen gift ideas like these! (geschenkideen on...

Just mounted my Shinko Stealth 003s. I also added new chain and sprokets,going up 2 teeth on the rear to a 43. I love the Distanza's but the cost is high. I go through 2 rears a year. The pair of Shinkos come in at the same price as one rear Distanza... Now lets go scrub em in!!!
This was my biggest fear about having a motorcycle as my only transport. Today I got over it and had just as much fun as I would if it was dry. Just thought I would share that. Who else enjoys the rain?
Finally, after all these bloody years, I'm able to purchase my first SM - a 50cc, but an SM nonetheless (in the UK)! Now, I've been looking at a bike quite recently which I've come to like: a CPI SM 50. I've checked eBay to ensure there will be dealers with spare parts available just in case...

I'm pretty familiar with driving cars and have done a little auto racing but I'd like some general tips on the bike. I can ride it fine all day long but I am struggling with understanding some of the handling dynamics and body positioning. I am 6' 205lbs give or take a couple but have a big upper...
im just getting starting in supermoto racing. im not sure what safety gear is required to race. could someone let me know? thank you.
Hey guys. I might be getting a new bike soon and was thinking would it be worth to Vinyl Wrap it? You can get any colour you want and any design on then and it protects from chips and scratches i have seen them on cars and trucks, you think it could be worth doing with a bike, mabey getting new...

Hi, Looking at either getting a Ducati Monster or KTM 690 duke. Can anyone tell me the service intervals of the KTM 690 and what's involved? I was originally looking at an aprilia SXV 550, but decided against it because it needs to get the piston rings replaced every 5600 miles and and...

Hey guys! After my 4 month hiatus i'm back! Still got the 300Exc tard. Basic training sucked, but was way easier than i thought it would be. Turns out im getting stationed at Ft. Knox as of right now. Could be worse, I could be in kansas or something. But is anyone from around that area? I was in...
I'm looking at getting rid of my 625 in order to get a crappy 1/4 tonne truck and my first real dirt bike. The only serious offer I've got so far has been for a 2008 Husky cr125 +$2500 CDN. The bike apparently has 30-40 trail ridden hours on it. I'm asking $6000 for my SMC, which has 9000km's, new...
I've found a 2007 sxv 4.5 for sale for 2000-2500...the bad news is one of the turn signals is broken and it has the feared coolant leak. I've been looking around and cant find a rebuild kit price. I would probably do it myself...lots of specialty tools from working on dirt bikes. How much of a...
Somebody just stole my drz400sm from my apartment about 21 minutes ago. I was playing around on the Internet and heard my bike start up and take off. I knew it was mine. Hauled ass to the street but couldn't hear it anymore it's a white 2007 drz400sm. Tag number 19z7600. Shortened front fender...
I'm really interested in buying a KTM 690 smc with almost 10,000 miles on the bike. I've only had experience with dirt bikes so this sounds like a ton to me. How many miles can you get out of these bikes? Anything I should look for?
iv been eyeballing these things since they came out and have been thinking hard about getting one, who has one, or has ridden one, what do you think of them, whats good and not so good about them, aside from being twice as expensive as my gixxer
You guys who switch rims and hit the dirt, what do you do about your suspension? Do you just set it for the street and deal with it in the dirt, or vice versa? Or change it to better suit the trail or street depending on what you feel like riding? I've been wanting to do more dirt riding...
I got my first mod out of the way :) I took off the ugly big round mirrors and installed the new CRG Arrow mirror on the handlebar. It looks way better now I think. This mirror is actually pretty sweet too, you can move the arm side to side, and the mirror itself can also be adjusted. ...
I'm considering a long road trip with a couple friends--from NY to Florida and back( Nov or Dec). I know the Drz could do it ... but what is the weapon of choice for a trip like this among sm junkies- I've never even ridden a Harley type bike before. What are your other bikes besides your Sumo?
I've been having trouble getting statistics (other than top speed and hp/torque) on the 610. I'm just curious what the official 0-60 is (before and after LV slip on) - anyone know? ....yes i've searched the forums and asked the great google
I finally got around to making my rear rim tubeless. I will do the front one next, but I am waiting until the next time I need to change the front tire. Here's what you need: A tubeless type valve stem, a large cylinder of clear silicone, a calk gun to apply the silicone with, and duct tape. ...
Lets you burn up logging roads, cruise through town, occasionally hit up a supermoto track, and carry a passenger. All while being enjoyable to ride and not have to be in the shop every other ride. Is there a bike around that fits this description?

Hi guys, could someone please help me. I have just fitted my bike with new custom graphics and after a week there are lots and lots of tiny bubbles under the graphics on the tank on both sides!!!!! I have since found out that this is more than likely down to fuel vapour seeping through the plastic...
I saw this bike on here last night and was looking for where i could buy these redbull/yoshi graphics. DOes anyone know?:headscrat
Please will the owner of this motorcycle come forward so we can laugh at you profusely? I snapped this picture in Monterey when I was up there for Moto GP. I think I just stumbled upon a new classification in the animal kingdom of riders: there are squids, Harley fags, and this guy.
Does has anyone heard when Supermoto X will be shown on ESPN/2/3 at X games 16?
I live at slightly above sea level and plan to bring the bike up to lake tahoe, which is between 5500-7000 elevation. Could I get by with some fuel adjustments or would the jets have to be changed? thanks
I figured I would retell the world about my encounter at one of the local gas stations today. I pull up after gunning it wfo across the intersection for no reason and ask him for a fill of premium and pay with cash. Him: Alright, do you race that...thing? Me: Occasionally I do, hard to find...
Hey, guys I've heard people talkin about Buell and that they should handle nearly as well as Supermotos. Only a bit worse cuz of higher weight. Anybody ever had the chance to ride one of those? If they really handle that well they would probably do better for longer riding. Dusty
saw a few threads about those "keychain cams" from ebay, i was wondering has anyone actually had one for a while? how do they hold up against the elements? i.e. waterproofness, battery life?

I thought it would be cool to get everyone's input on filming the next event. I know we don't have anything planned as of yet for a ride, but just in case something pops up, we will be ready. I noticed on the last ride that we have a good number of dudes with camera's now. Psyco, has started...
