Spanked a KX450F (those guys are going to be sad)
« on: September 10, 2006, 01:07:19 AM »
Well I put the smack talk to bed yesterday. My good buddy wanted to go do some riding yesterday at our local play spot. There is a nice 1/4 ish mile dirt road that is perfect for practicing MX starts. So we lined up the "man bike" with his '06 KX450F. Bottom line, 4 races, 3 spankfests handed out by the "man bike". The 450 will stay right near me through 3rd gear (because my 5 is just blowing the rear tire to pieces). I did slightly loose one race because I started in 1st, which caused violent wheelspin, then when I grabbed second a nasty wheelie, and I could'nt catch him. We swapped bikes, and my buddy (now on my 5) absolutely destroyed me, as he is a young, current, fast amatuer MX racer. So in hindsight, there is NOTHING that will beat a KX500 with traction, and rider abilities being near (or even less in my case). I finally had a safe opportunity to really wring out the man bike as I FINALLY have my Scotts steering damper all installed and dialed in sweet. (I will post a full writeup with pics tonight on the damper soon). Final call, these 500's are insane fast, if you have the ballz to hold the throttle WO.

I went out to a local track that is very technical and jumpy, not real good for my relic of a 87 KX5 this last weekend, handed my buddy with a new KTM SX450 and another guy with a YZ250 their asses. That was fun. I;m 42 there in thier early 30's. So fun spanking them on a 20 year old bike. I am a better rider but not by a ton. This track had fast sections where they lost any ground they gained on the tighter parts of the track. FUN. Well unit I toasted the splines right off the input shaft right at the countershaft sprocket. Crap.
