I recently pulled the jets in a new to me KTM 525 for documentation. When I reinstalled the after market pilot jet half the top snapped off at the screwdriver slot, WTF!, Far left Pic. I was not ham fisting it. The jet snapped like brittle brass. I put it back together as the broken jet would...

I've ordered dirt bike parts from Motosport.com for years. It seems that their shipping times have gotten longer and longer. I just placed a free shipping order with them on 10/17 and it arrived on 10/24, that is 7 days. I also placed a free shipping order with Rocky Mountain on 10/23 and it...

Budman, or anyone else. Can you tell us how Barf ended up with the green two finger smiley face as a logo? Also have you ever thought about any other branding? I love BARF, but just can not bring myself to wear or fly anything with that logo. I've bought it, just not used it.

My XR400 and TWT's black DR650 sitting on Sherwood Rd. Taken during the 2017 Cheetiron 300.

If you wanted to have your XR crank rebuilt, where would you go? Is there anyone in the Bay Area? EDCO does not appear to do crank work.

Now that I have your attention lets talk about visibility and lets focus on the headlamp or lighting on the front. I just spent hours on the road driving from Los Gatos to Sonoma County and while I didn't see many people splitting I was constantly looking for them through wet mirrors and windows...

My God Daughter and five others were killed and 7 others were seriously injured in the Berkeley Balcony Collapse on 6/16/15. It has been determined that the balcony collapsed due dry rot caused by poor workmanship. Her mother is trying to have the law changed to make balconies and construction...

So what happens when you are knocked down and seriously hurt while riding your moto without any fault yourself? Like when someone just changes lanes into you and sends you flying and you are seriously injured. Assuming you are injured by someone with assets, owns a home etc, does your attorney...

I stopped and picked up a right side mirror for what appears to be a R1150RT, off the side of 101N in Petaluma. It is scratched up and the edge of the mirror is broken, but it will get you through while you find that perfect one on Ebay. Pickup in Rohnert Park. PM me if it is yours.

This is a PSA. A month ago I started to service the suspension on my 2002 XR400 in preparation for the Sheetiron. This was the first time it had been apart. I pulled the subframe and removed the shock and linkage and attempted to remove the swingarm pivot bolt to replace the swingarm bearings...

A friend was cycling up Highway 130 from the San Jose area on 5/1 at about 9:15 AM and came across this screen. As she understands it the bicyclist was coming down and a group of motorcyclists were going up when they collided. There was a group of people stopped attending to the cyclist and he...

Hey Barfers, I pulled the forks off of my XR400 and just found that the damper holder tool that I just purchased is wrong. Does anyone have the correct tool, that I can borrow or buy? It is Motion Pro # 08-0223 and it is used on the XR250, XR400, XR650R and the DRZ. I live in Rohnert Park and...

I'm looking to buy some Race Tech springs etc. Motosport outlet does not sell Race Tech. Are there other suppliers that do, or should I go direct?

Worked on my fitness and off road skills.

I agree, here is a Maxxis Desert IT with 50 miles on it. I picked up this toothpick earlier this year in Baja. The Slime in the tube don't help at all.
