    FYI

    Went for a ride Sunday and when we took off my bike felt weird and made some rattling noises. Pulled over and found when i put my boot on the motor it all went away. Both front motor mounts were loose. These have nyloc nuts on them but still managed to loosen up. Checkum.

    I was highly prepared on Sunday as you can tell. :thumbsup:

    Good thing the Huskys are so easy to work on!

    I lost a bolt on the front exhaust mount and when started to put the new one in the threads didn't feel too great. I pulled the muffler to chase the threads. :thumbsup: When I was doing that I noticed the top sub-frame bolts were loose from my 300 kit install. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. :lol:

    You guys are something else LOL. I know I am the tool man when we all go riding. Some of our friends are lucky if they remember to gas up.

    Does gassing up before the ride help? I'm not convinced, I gas up before every ride and still run out of gas nearly every time I ride my Husky. Got 25 miles in Sunday before I had to steal some gas from Jake.

    I have ran into this as well. The paint is really thick on the frame and when it wears off, the mounts get loose.

    Maybe these bikes should come with a check engine light. Light goes on, you look down and discover the engine fell out a couple of miles back.:D

    MSR Elephant ears. :thumbsup:

    Races like this they are worth their weight in gold just keeping your hands dry. I am the second bike through...

    On our ride Sunday it was mid 30's and I was able to rear regular mx gloves without my hands getting cold. Kelly wore two sets of gloves. :thumbsup:

    Motor mounts were loose on my '10 TXC 250 as well. Forgot to give a reminder to everyone to check them..
