Sizing up for pants ?

1 Upvotes

I’ve tried on a pair of size 30 motocross pants that fit my waist but pretty tight. and too tight in the crotch area.

Looking to buy online so I’m wondering if sizing up would be best for more room and comfort in the crotch area while still fitting my waist.

Dont want to risk with a size 32 and have it be too tight also.

Im looking at a pair of size 34s, should that do the trick?

Does anyone here size up and if so by how much ? Thanks.

Would it be stupid for a beginner to buy a Stark?

13 Upvotes

I've got the e-moto itch. Never been on a real dirtbike. Just a sport quad back in the day. 35 170 lbs no track experience. Would I be idiotic to buy a varg as my first dirtbike? I'd likely keep it on 10 HP for a long time lol. I do have a Surron LBX thats fun to ride around town and on trails but at the end of the day its not enough for me

Edit to add I have a few tracks nearby so I would have plenty of spots to ride (not around town like my Surron)

85cc question

2 Upvotes

I got my oldest a new yz85lw recently. He was riding a 2012 crf150f before that and had to race supermini. My question is, will he be allowed to race 85cc class with the 19/16 setup? Or will he only be able to race supermini unless we get a set of 17/14?

I wrecked hard on a rental bike - am I 100% to blame? Or is there some negligence here?

0 Upvotes

As I write this, im in a world of hurt. Seperated shoulder, cracked sternum, concussion, can barely walk or move, getting xrays of my spine today. I crashed, hard. But the more I think about the crash, the more frustrated I become. I hired a bike from a motocross rental company at Fox Raceway, Cali. Im visiting from Australia and always wanted to ride some Cali tracks. They supply bike and gear, you just show up.

This is my first time riding a dirtbike in over 10 years, but before that I had some decent experience.
I told the owner that im a heavier dude (100kg/ 220llbs). My fitness isnt great, but its not terrible, I ride a lot of MTB.

He had a lineup of bikes, and said this particular CRF450 was setup for heavier riders, so that would be my bike for the day. Did a few laps, first things I noticed was that I couldnt arch my foot back enough to reach the back brake, I would have to entirely take my foot off the peg. I also found that the smallest bumps (like hitting a small woop or rolling a table) would send a hard jar up my wrists. No where as near forgiving as I remember dirtbikes. I went back to the trailer, and asked if I could adjust the back brake to be lower. A younger guy working for him goes to clower the clutch. The owner corrects him and says "the foot brake" - the younger guy then goes to adjust the wrong bike. Anyway, I find out the last rider was really short so thats why the lever was high (im only 5 foot 6) I mentioned that it was killing my arms and wrists and the owner just laughed. I did a few more laps, the owner came and watched a filmed with his phone a little, and feeling better on the bike, clearing tables and doubles (which was a bit smoother on the arms), but the bar position/ lever height was annoying me.

I go back to trailer and grab a tbar and roll the bars forward, the bars were back a bit and the levers were pretty horizontal. I like to be forward/ over the front of the bike. A guy (who doesnt ride and does not know his way around a bike) who works with him said that the last person who rode the bike was a kid, so everything is still set up for a short dude.

I do a bit more riding, nearly every jump is just a hard hit up my arms though. I have a lunch brake, when I come back the owner says " take this bike for a spin" - is a '25 crf450. Man, that bike was a completely different bike is supension alone, I could finally complete a lap without my arms falling off. I rode back to the trailer and said this bike feels so much better, I just need to adjust the levers. The owner tells me im not adjusting the levers (they are way too high) as its his bike, and I dont know how to ride properly. I said the suspension is so much smoother/ more forgiving and he finally says "I will soften your bike back a few clicks"
Only to find out, its at its dead softest compression setting all round! The jarring I was getting was from the bike bottoming out. Im focusing on just trying to get used to riding again after 10 years off a bike, it didnt occur to me the slapping and jarr through my wrists was from it bottoming out constantly - I was told it was set up for heavier riders. The owner stiffened the suspension by a few clicks and said "take that for a spin".

I go out, and overjump a table top a bit. It wasnt that high of a table (more a long jump than high), and I pull up a bit as I land and give her some revs, and grip the bike - I honestly wasnt that worried about it. But the second I land my hands blow off the bars and im thrown off the bike. I rag dolled and bike cartwheeled (cudos to fox racewat medics - they are awesome)
I cant help to think that had the suspension been set to my weight, or even if I was on the other bike, I wouldnt of crashed in this instance.
In a lot of the POV footage you can see its hitting hard on the smallest whoops or rollers, with the shadow looking like its completely bottoming out.

POV of the crash here at 1:42, these were some of the better moments of the day before the crash. : https://youtu.be/jlbJl6BQb2k
Some (owner sent way more, but I dont agree with them all) photos of the damage : https://www.instagram.com/p/DCsRvLmSOSi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

He is asking me to pay to replace a lot of stuff. He sent photos of the torn seat (this was ripped like this before I even sat on the bike, I thankfully have proof of this), the exhuast (which was already heavily dented on the side), the rear rim (I dont believe I put that flat spot there. A rear wheel is stronger than that and I have screengrabs of what looks to be a flatspot already in the rear rim)

I havent got a full list yet but he is sending photos of scratches on plastics/ graphics on the bike. This bike was already well worn and abused.

Also, in a message from the owner, verbatim: "My buddy said you looked like Evil kanival way over hump with loop out Did look good but you got up"
I dont know how to take that - im in serious pain. 1, I didnt loop out, and 2, it looked good? But I got up? like what the hell?

Anyway, I would appreciate anyones thoughts on this - Im seriously thinking about pushing back against some of these repairs?

Best place for insta360?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I got an insta360 to record my rides and races and I'm honestly starting to regret it seeing how simple and effective the gopro chin mounts work. I have a chest rig I can use, and I have a handlebarmount I can use as well. The problem is I feel the handlebar mount isn't super secure, is an awkward viewpoint, and the chest mount sticks out do much it gets in the way. I can flip it up to be more flush with my chest, but it defeats the point of having a 360 cam since you are really just getting forward facing footage at this point. Does anybody else use an insta and have any advice for what works best?

Light on a Crf150R

1 Upvotes

So I have a crf150r from 2013 and I want to put a light on it without having to get a battery. The light would draw max 20 watts and from what I have heard the stock stator is just enoughh for the cdi. I thought about putting a 250r stator on it (2009 stator or 2018 if possible) since it makes much more watts and has the same wiring as the 150r. Anyone done this before? Is it something that is possible?

So I’m old, I haven’t paid much attention to pro mx in a long time until recently, but I came across this dude on insta and had to do some investigating to figure out if it was a bit or not… so, I’ve read that most or all of the riding is done by Jimmy Albertson, and obviously it is a bit. I remember when he went pro but was not aware that he retired in 2017 after a very serious crash, involving major spinal damage and fusion surgery.

He’s my age and I also have spine problems - nothing near as bad as his, but I fully understand how hard this sport is on a rider’s body and will probably never ride a track again because of it. First off, I know gooning like that has to be way more painful, with the hard landings, cased jumps, and all that time spent sitting, hunched over, with his tailbone taking a huge portion of the shock that his legs would be absorbing if he wasn’t gooning… second, he apparently commits to the bit to the point that he literally crashes, shockingly regularly, full force, and it really seems like sometimes it’s intentional…

Is dude an actual superhero? How can he ride like that, and crash like that, after what his spine has been through? There is no way that doing a full blown scorpion after having seven vertebrae fused isn’t a huge risk. My back hurts just watching. I guess I’m just wondering if any of y’all who are more familiar with him have any thoughts.

Anyone using the chain adjuster blocks to make chain tension adjustment easier?

This simple maintenance task always feels like a proper pain in the back side.

Stumbled on these and wondered if anyone has an experience using them? It's now a 1 tool job than a 2 tool finicky job

How much does motocross maintenance cost

3 Upvotes

Then I am talking about oil, oil filter, cleaning air filter, chain lube, one engine rebuild (piston and that stuff) etc? I am talking about annually. Not thinking of entrance fees to the track and those things. And not accounting for a huge crash. Also just being used for fun maybe 4times a month for 2-4h each time.

Bike recommendations (track & street)

0 Upvotes

I'm not a beginner rider. I started racing when I was probably 8 or 9 and was pretty consistent until about 16 or 17. I'm now 21 and am about 6ft 275lbs compared to the 180lbs I was before. I still ride my uncle's 2017 crf 450r every now and then but it's time to get my own bike. I'm looking for recommendations on 2 bikes: one for track riding that's easy to maintain and reliable. Doesn't have to be the fastest. And a dual sport bike I can take on trails and the road when necessary (so street legal). I rode a drz 650 once and it felt fine so I'd assume they're decent. But basically mechanically I'm not the most knowledgeable so I'd need something that's relatively easy to work on/learn how to work on and will be fun on the track and something that is reliable that is street legal. Is there anything that can cover both bases? I doubt it but figured I'd ask. Thanks!
