KX Guru Racing

Something else I don't see discussed very often on Super moto sites is tire pressure..
Here's what I am running.
Front Cold 32lb.
Rear Cold 30lb.

A little trim, a little shim, and on it goes...
Since I installed this wheel and tire combo I need to get the correct length figured out.
I'm guessing I'll have to remove about 1/2 to 1" but I don't know yet...

Ah, new pads.
Now my brakes might work

Going with a thinner chain helps the chain wear on the tire, but it does not eliminate it.
So, I'm going to make a shim.
Since I'm poor, I will do it the poor man way... Mr. Sawsall and Mr. Bench Grinder

New chain and moved the axle as far back as I could with the sprockets I am running.
It does make a small difference in unintended wheelies

Had a little adventure today...
After I installed my new chain I took it for a couple of short rides.
Since I just installed the wheels I haven't really had an opportunity to start pushing them.
Today was the first time I leaned it far enough over to the left and right where I really felt I was getting close to the edge.
In a nice left hand turn about 45 mph I starting loosing it
Lucky for me my butt puckered just enough to get the bike upright to get it off the edge and I rode out of it.
Felt like I was trying to flat track for a moment.
When I got back to the shop I took a look at the tire and found black greasy stuff on the edge of the tire...
Guess what it was?
Oh yeah, remember that new chain I put on?
It had a heavy amount of lube on it.
I didn't bother wiping it off.
Since the tire rubs just a wee bit on the chain it got covered in chain lube.
You can bet that I will finish my spacer and get it installed and keep the chain lube off my tire

86 F 26% humidity.
Town riding for 40 minutes Average temps
Head 175 F
Coolant 140 F

After removing 2 1/16" from the side stand you can see that it is just about right
Lean angle.... Perfect...
Tomorrow I'll take it to the welder and get it finished...

Next door having my buddy Trav doing some welding..

Don't say it..... Yes, I know.... The ground should have been closer to the welding to keep from frying the electronics...
What should have really happened is I should have removed the side stand from the bike completely...

Here is the spacer I made for the rear wheel....
The finish thickness is .120"
