Back in the late 90s racing KX250s the entire bike was basically done in six months.
Great to see you back Morgan broken collar bone can be sore and burn for sometime 👍
Rad looking scooter in the back.
Good to see you back Morgan!
Welcome back, glad to see you moving around!!🤘🤘🤘💯
🤘🏻
Thank you I a diehard slog guy hope you get to feeling better soon
Keep it up man! 🤟
Thanks Boss! Heal up!
I bought my 950 when I was 21 years old. Still own it 13 years later. Even though now I own a 790R I still can't part ways with my 950. Such an awesome bike with good memories.
I’m sooooo glad you’re back. Miss seeing what you have to show. Glad you’re not toooo busted up. Heal up brother! 🫵🤘🏻👊✊💨💨💨
I have the vacuum bleeder and I’m not an everyday mechanic. Made replacing break fluid super easy.
Missed the SHLOGS!
Just added a couple Fly helmets to my gear bag and my son’s. I like the fit.
Awesome video
Made my day, glad you're back with Shlog! I know there is a lot of pain, thanks for pushing through it for the video. Great show. Motominded, what a class act they are!! Great company.
Thanks again!
Здравствуйте, подскажите какие зазоры на клапанах делоть Кавасаки кх 450. 2019, подскажите , зделол как в мануале но они цокают!
PRC!!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Glad you’re back!!!
🤘🏻
Morgan, glad to see you in the shop !
Man, one of my buddies brought his KX250F to my place to ride and that thing was impressive. I took it for a rip around our turn course and I thought "no way a 250 is yanking wheelies out of every curve l corner this easy!". Thing was not fun in the woods, but for a go fast bike they're super impressive. It's the one model that made me not hate Kawi anymore 😁
Glad to see you're feeling better. Take it easy, man ✌️
71 CT90 on that stand? Very cool old bike.. The new ones look pretty awesome also ;)
Sure is!
Love it awesome
thx man. good to c u back at work! heal well 🤘
Yeet! Yeah, I woke up to have a crank up rebuild on my 2018 TX300.... not exactly cheap! But it has been a good ride.
Right on
Glad to see you back on your feet
Good to be up and moving
Great stuff, as usual! Good to see you back at it.
Been there done that with my Honda Trx250r. I was doing crank bearings and some other bearings . Had the cases back together, looked on the bench and found a bearing retainer i forgot and had to split the cases again :( .
I have tested my BBS switch with a multimeter. I do not
trust it! The switch has a very nice long stroke push and feel. Unfortunately, the switch completes a circuit with barely any pressure or distance applied to the switch. (A guess here) maybe less than .5mm of a millimeter the switch is engaging even though it has a nice long stroke of say nearly 4mm. IMO, A tiny bit of moisture or corrosion or boot shrinkage could far too easily become an issue for this switch. I am happy to here other ideas or developments.
Good on "Motominded" for doing their best with this issue so far.
Yeah. I just got an email from them and they are working hard to come up with a solution. Seriously bad ass company
Great Shlog. I always learn something. Heal up 🤘
Glad to see you back in the shop Morgan take it easy.
And Keep healing 🤘🤘. Let's get a date set to get that conversion done on my 250.
Let me know if I need to put a deposit down.
I'm glad to see that you are healing up. I really like my 950 Adv. I have never ridden a newer adventure bike so I don;t know how they compair. I went with the Race Tech gold valve kit in the fork because it was diving when I hit the brakes and a progressive spring in the rear because the stock spring was crazy stiff,It's pretty good right now although I;m sure a revlve in the rear would be even better.
AZ resident here, would love to know where you’re gonna be riding!
Not sure yet. Maybe Cave Creek
@@highlandcycles if you’ve never had the chance to check out Wildcat, it’s a crazy good spot
Ha, forever I always did my spokes by feel... I broke down and bought a spoke torque wrench(Tusk) and the first time I used it I put my front rim WAY out of true. Not sure how, but it happened, I used a regular spoke wrench to bring it back to true.
Glad to see you kind of back in action 😉
Yeah. We will see about the spokes
Really liked the pre-run videos you posted...during your race video, I was actually advising you when to be prepped for turns...(in the dark). Obviously, pre-running works.
Question - maybe dumb: You recommend Gear Saver Oil...for my Beta 4 stroke with a split case...both sides, one side, or stick with Beta's recommendation(s)?
I would use heat saver in the trans and whatever motor oil you like in the engine
Give us a update on that vacuum bleeder! I’ve been eye balling them every time I get on Rocky Mountain lol
Will do
get one i have a different brand and it makes chaging fluids so easy. Well worth the $$$$
Did you hear Kreft is shutting down? Weird. More TBT customers I guess. I heard Kreft was pretty good.
I did see that. Crazy
Hey Morgan I have the dual button moto minded switches on both of my 23 bikes. I saw you took yours off, What would you recommend I do? I don’t want to spend a bunch more money on switches ( I already did 😂) but I don’t want a failure. I really like the bomber switches too! Damn 😢
I have been talking to MotoMinded. I think it might have been a total freak deal. I’d leave them on.
I also liked the switch very much. I jumped at the opportunity to buy them after Morgan gave them a huge recommendation. I can see why! Unfortunately, I have no confidence in the switch after investigating. It takes only a very slight push of the button before it completes a circuit. It seems that Morgan may have actually had two failures on separate bikes. Mark @ Tokyo Offroad has also previously had trouble with these switches, so I very much doubt that it is a freak random thing.
It is great to see that Motominded are being proactively involved with the situation.
I have spoke with motominded and they said that it was a freak deal, I’m not sure if Tokyo off-road is in contact with motominded. But they told me they haven’t had any other failures. They did tell me to make sure that the rubber switch covers are not damaged. If water gets in it can corode the switch contacts and potentially cause a failure.
@@justincallahan1833 I think that there is a bigger problem than they are letting on publicly. They are working on figuring things out right now. For now I would leave them on and inspect the rubber boots regularly. Also make sure you feel the button disengage. We are working together to get to the bottom of this. I don’t think it’s every button but I also don’t think I’m an isolated situation
Just started watching a few months back and keep forgetting to ask, What cleaning fluid do you use in your sonic cleaner? Thanks in advance and heal up buddy.
Fabuloso and water
Never ridden one but word on the street is the 950 is a ton of fun. New bikes are over rated.
🤘🤘🤘
Whats the story on the snow bike?
I traded a 990 Adventure in on a first year Pan America 🤦♂️. Hey at least I have my Ktm small bikes.
😂🤣
🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hey so I have a 2013 Honda crf250r and was wondering if I can put a slip on Fmf on it and not have to do anything with the fuel injection. With my carb bikes I just re jet but fuel injection is completely foreign to me. I just don’t want it running lean
If it’s just a slip on it should be ok
@@highlandcycles yeah just a slip on factory 4.1 blue one.
@@coltensawyer6761 should be ok. Could probably get a little more out of it if you tuned the ecu
Good morning sweetheart ❤
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
