2 wheeled daftness

[Steve]

A bit of motorcycle maintenance for me this evening. Im trying to get my kdx200 to a usable state so i can take it to a practice event. The clutch is horrible so i have filed the notches on the fingers down. I dont know why but working on bikes is such a joy.
Its a bit of a minger but i want to make sure i like it before spending too much on it.

Are you doing an Enduro practice with the KDX?

 

[Russell]

Yes thats the plan. I havent ridden at an event for about 5 years now. My last enduro bike was a 250excf and before that a 450 exc. I seam to be going backwards with engine size.
I took the kdx for a brief test ride the other day and it made my crf300l feel like a sleeping donky.

I went to watch my nephew ride his first enduro a while back and thought some of the sections were pretty tricky. I definitely wouldn’t want to be riding them on a 450.

used to do local enduros and time trials - campaigned a 320 SWM Gori and a CR250 Hodna and depended on which course as to which bike got run ... the CR had a great steering lock and very often got used for time trials - if a section was too nadgery, I'd just go through the first gate yelling five and gun it ... made up for points dropped, between sections, with the speed capability of the Hodna
