    Sounds good and I envy you a bit! I have a 25 19 and a 5 year old......whoops.....And being self employed no 401 or great plan so I'll have to drive on with the mission and possibly be a Walmart greeter at age 70 if I live that long....:banghead: Yea riding is awesome but a little weird without trees all over the place.

    Funny jay never said anything like that. A 12 Gas Gas would not really allow that because the brake pedal would bottom on the frame.. But I'll ask about that. Thanks:D

    Oh come on....ha ha..... That must of been the chinese made kickstart lever they bought in the middle of production because they failed to pay the other supplier.......Ha Ha just kidding a funny fluke my buddy was pretty pissed as for some reason it was the highlight of my day. I had to take off right away because I was laughing so dam hard I thought he might get mad. PS the first couple days his rear shock was leaking and his fork seals then the kickstart lever broke......Hw was thinking about selling it for a minute and if I could of swooped it up for 3K I would of been a happy camper! Hes ok with it now the shock and fork seals quit leaking........Hey dirtbiking is expensive lol:doh:

    At least you sound like you know what you are doing ... More than alot of us can say ...

    Once I get into riding a place that's so cool like that, I'll just slow up and look around at that stuff ... ESP on the first trip through ... Was that water in the bottom making the dry spots slick?

    Word to bank on ...if you show up here and your GF does not have a baby? Guess what you are good for? Children here are the parents security for later in life. You've been warned. This was all decided well before I got here 5yrs ago ...

    If she is young without a child and you do not wanna have a baby, you best move on because it is not gonna work out. There are about ~5 themes that seem to play out here over and over with foreigners and the gals ... I may not be breaking new ground but I'm not responsible for anything but my buttt and my bikes really.

    You guys are a bigger man than me having all that responsibility and more power to you :)

    I've got patience ...its a sign of getting old maybe? ... Not ready to be established just yet ...

    --
    Different specific cases of course with different people, but if they are wanting a ride to the states, you probably are on the wrong street corner ... I see that over here now but it's the low low percentage number here unless you are hanging at Angele City or some other foreigner hangout ... 98% of the girls that I know here do not wanna leave here. They will leave to get money but they are coming back home to family and don't really want to leave. They want you around and nakid ~50% of the time. Its like groundhog day but at night. Beware of this responsibility ... Duty calls ..Gotta go back upstairs ..

    I gave a quick call to Halls today. When you push the bike up and down in the front there does seem to be a funny noise in the forks. Has not affected performance at all but sounds like sticky fork seals or???They said possibly the fork spring is shifted a tish and to monitor it closely and if it gets worse I will have to send them the forks. Could be sticky fork seals I am not sure. The performance of the fork is spot on with no fade or changing in a 30 mile enduro loop.....

    4cs make that sound. I asked mxtech when I dropped mine off and he gave some long explanation about check valves and rods and, uhhh I can't remember the rest. I was told it's normal in stock form.

    That reservoir extender provides a way to hold more fluid in the system to help keep fluid temp down or is there something else at play there?

    yes more volume of fluid to help transfer heat. it really is an effective piece of kit;

    Yep I'm ordering one this week (whatever halls sells),changing to motul race fluid and like my gas gas I believe I'm going to drill as big a hole as I feel comfortable drilling in the caliper...oh yea like the Gasser I'm having the rear pedal foot piece relocated to the bottom of the pedal instead of on top as is stock...
