- Start date
Installed some Ktm swing arm guards to prepare for the rocks tomorrow 
installing the chain side was a pain but a little trimming fixed that. Also threw in a new twin air filter and cleaned the air box.

Have you desmoged & remapped?
LEO's break the law? Nope, way to uptight to do anything illegal.
See, he even said so!Nope
It's a common thing among KTM bikes.Flameouts at low speed
You may think this is a stupid question. I would like to understand what you mean by flame out. Is it simular to a plug foul? Or is it totally something different?
EFI bikes run WAY lean to pass the emissions for 50 states (CA being the worse) low RPM and idle makes the bike flame out starving for food (fuel).
Can be fixed pretty easily, a few different ways to do this. programmers, remap, Magic Mod. are a few of them.
All in all a very good off road weapon!
My 2008 Husqvarna had the same problem. One day while riding fast through a corner, and after the break in period, I crashed..
... All of the CA smog stuff fell off and the exhaust had to be replace, throttle limiter was damaged as well. That bike is now on motor #2 after 7,000 miles and 324 hours for 5 years she gave me. I have always called it my DS rocket after that crash. Still love that bike and my son rides it now, while I went back to the Carbi model on my 2012 RS520.
Not mine but since Shortshift broke his arm I did most of the work. New seat cover and new rear shoe.
Nice Bike. Are those Motoz Terrepactor tires on that? They look like it. If thaey are please let me know if how well they perform for you. Plus are they the IT or ST? Can you load another picture of them on here.?
Thanks! That's my sons bike. He got that tire for his bday. No it is just a cheap tire I ordered off of motosport. Here is the link.

I will let you know how it hangs out this summer when we ride. The tire on there was one of your favs. Dumblop mx51 and it was missing about every third knob. It was trashed but wasn't worn out. Someone must have been doing a lot of road riding is all I can say.

Joe and I met up with the Roses and ran the 4 strokes through the desert for 59 miles. Was a good day, we zigged, and zagged, and crissed, and crossed, and had a great time.
You want to know about Motoz Tires. Ive ran them exclusively for almost 3 years now. Ive run the Terrapactor and the Tractionator X Circuit I-H/T. The Terrapactor is a nice tire and I think would wear well if it was only run on the type of terrain it was designed for. Soft loamy dirt/sand. While it did very well in the sandy portions of the terrain I ride, and hooked up well even on the hard pack and rocky trails. I didnt think it lasted as long as it could have. But then again I was trying to abuse it. Not just riding my ride. Now on the flip side. The Tractionaltor X Circuit is a beast of a tire. I think it wear as well or better than the Maxxis Desert IT. I think it hooks up better than the Maxxis IT. And it is by far the easiest tire Ive ever mounted by hand. As well as the Terrapactor.
This is after 2 rides in the Desert on a 450 with the Tractionator X Circuit I-H/T. And I wasnt being nice.
Same tire. I rode it through everything. We had just had some rain so there was mud, hard pack, rocks, and sand that it was ridden through. And you can clearly see the very little bit of wear. This was after 2 rides of hard riding.
Terrapactor
Tractionator X Curcuit
