Revision as of 12:01, 22 January 2014

500 EXC Issues

  • cold clutch doesn't fully disengage.
  • "shimmy" starting around 50mph which gets a little worse w/ more speed and settles into a cyclic on/off shimmy.
    • Balance the wheels, 3oz in front and 3.75 in rear.

Parts

  • Woody's Wheels... ends up around $1900 for a "best" supermoto set of wheels.
  • LiteLock Rim Locks Cheap and lighter than stock, light enuf that you shouldn't need to balance the wheels according to some folks.
  • Mousse/Bibs for going "airless", need to research pros/cons of this more. Sounds like they're heavier, do wear out, can generate heat...
  • DoubleTake Mirrors around $93 for a pair. I've also seen mirrors which fold into the hand guards, would like to compare the pros/cons of the Double Takes w/ those.
  • DirtTricks Cone Washer and sprockets apparently these last long and are the way to go.
  • Acerbis Tanks
  • AP Racing PRF Brake Fluid: Apparently the best for not boiling.
  • MT21 50/50 tires: recommended by Chris at SBM.
