Lol.

Well i just lost my muffler(09 wr250) half way through a four hour 2 man cross country race. Funny thing is my lap times went down from 26 minutes to 25 minutes. lost a little low end snap though. My muffler was recovered and thankfully no one had run over it, it was still bolted to the sheared off mounts.
Did the last lap on a ktm 200exc , it was light, turned quick, great ergos, lovely clutch, small, a lot less power, but smooth, very smooth. I didn't realize the husky vibrated so much, would this contribute to the alloy fatigue? 27 minute lap on the ktm. My partner an I took the series in the over 100 combined age class.
As a side note Chris Birch(google him) rode a ktm 1190 adveture bike and was doing 23 minute laps, the fastest lap by anyone was 21 minutes.

Wtf why was he ridin that behemoth!?

Not sure, a challenge?

My 2010 Wr 300 was a ex Zip Ty Racing bike Was raced by the Zip Ty Team in 2010 and I purchased it in 2011. The Spark arrestor tabs had been reinforced. Since 2011 I have won 1 AMa National # 1 plate and 2 # 2 plates and now 2 # 3 plates and the sub frame is still perfect . I have also used the bike to pre run King of the Moto 3 times So it has been rode hard with no problems

After the second time my Husky's muffler mounts broke I gave the subframe to a fabricator. He removed the stock tabs and welded on some heavy gauge aluminum instead. Never had a problem after that.

I reinforced mine also and didn't have any problems after.

Thank you for the tip. I checked and noticed that the swingarm on my tortured 250 started wearing

Thats what i'm doing.
