Hello, Who can give me a suggestion of setup (15:50?) for an enduro race in December posibble mud, snow etc.? Optimized TE 610 i.e.
Get rid of everything you don't need on the bike! 14/46 is what I run and I love it! It's a big bike for the enduros, but a big guy can pull it off. I really only ride in the woods now and with the suspension set right makes a big difference! Good luck!
Today I used 14:48 and Iwould say it was to long because the ground was frozen with a little snow and I had a lot of problems to get grip on icy ramps. I used Dunlop Geomax tyres.
Have you tried the Michelin AC 10 tire? AC is for arctic conditions, it stays soft in cold weather. I love the tire! I use it in the summer and winter here in CT USA. It's great on a mix of terrain and its reversible. it's the one on the left.
Did you win? Did the TE610 survive? BTW AC10 is a great tire, but is not FIM approved, so it might not be allowed in enduro races.
Where have you got the Sump/Engine guards from for the 610 ? I'm in the UK and really struggling to find someone that will ship one here. Thanks Gav
@grandia No I couldn't win because there were a lot of 200, 250, 300, 350 Enduro's. My 610 was with an XR 600 the biggest bike. You can watch a little video at Nikolausenduro A and B. @Gav You mean the skid plate? I ordered the skid plate by steahlyoffroad.com. 3850 Pioneer Rd Medford OR 97501 Phone: 541.535.4896 or Toll Free in U.S. 800.800.2363 They sent by air mail to Germany. No problems. I must payed the german tax of 19 % at the custom office.
Look at the Hyde (Hyde Racing) bashplate - best IMHO. It is poly so is light, does not reverberate and amplify engine noise, slides over objects due to material, easy to fit, very good side protection, indestructible. See fitted in pic below.
Thanks very much for all your help. I will look at getting one of the Hyde Skid plates in the new year after I pay off the credit card!
Hi all I placed an order for one of the Hyde skid plates but haven't heard from the company. Money has been sent via paypal. Tried to get in touch with them a couple of times now, however just wondering what your experiences were like with them ? I didn't get a confirmation email from them that I recall.
Was the order placed with Hyde Racing USA? Contact: http://www.hyderacing.com/contact.htm OR Hyde UK? Greg Snodgrass Hydegard Ltd. Distributors of Hyde™ protection for United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe. Website: www.hydegardbashplates.com Tel: 028 91889494 Mobile: 07542934843
Didn't know there was a UK Distributor! I went through the US Site and ordered online. I sent a couple of emails chasing the order up and funnily enough just got a USPS Tracking number. Order was placed 4th - 5th January and I think they have only just posted it after chasing them today 23rd January. Not great service at all! Actually just clicked on the Link Dom and the site isn't up any more. There's no registrar for the domain name now either so must have gone under. Heres hoping it turns up some time this year!
