- banger of an event massive shout out to the owners of Cochranes and Northumberland trail riders !
Came 80th out of 162 and 28/42 in class. (maybe higher not sure scoring kinda weird whatever)
loved that sand section
it was quite forgiving compared to other sand too!
LOL start and fender 😆 but wow sweet rear brakes.
TIP TOP TOP TIPS, DONT BRAKE WHEN TRYING TO START
I’m the guy that crashed my Yamaha right after the tunnel.
This video has given me the only perspective on my crash as I didn’t see what rear ended me
Hope you weren't injured in that crash! Andre did say he wanted to reach out to apologise!
@@woodlandwuguithanks for the sentiment.
It was my first attempt at racing. I got caught on the sidelines in the wrong place. I have hurt my ribs and my spine hurts.
My ribs feel a lot better but my spine still hurts. Hopefully it’ll all get better so I can keep riding with my boy.
I still don’t understand how someone could have rear ended me. I’m not in it for the blood just trying to have some fun
@@mikebelperio2579 oof, gutting to hear, I assume you went to the docs for a quick check over if your spine hurts? hopefully its just bruising and itll heal up well soon. I 100% can see how you got rear ended at that corner, the excitement of coming out of the barn on the first lap, then a slight off camber blind corner over a slight crest meant he overcooked it on the straight and with it also narrowing had no area to run off and unfortunately hit you. But never the less, i hope you recover and can ride again with your lad soon, and come back to race in future!

Thanks for your concern and I certainly don’t blame anyone for the situation
I’m going to check it out as most of the other injuries have gotten considerably better. I’m also hoping its just bruising and will heal with time
Great news
I just returned from the doctor and was told I just need more time to heal
He didn’t even think an X-ray was necessary
Lol, I seen your fender when I was sweeping the course.
🤣 haha were you thinking, how on earth did that happen?! Thank you for helping run the event!
Nice ride dude!!! Enjoyed the video
thanks man!
Wish I could have been there. Waiting on a tiny, but critical part.
Price ranges from $50 (online/aftermarket), to $240 at the bike dealer to $750 for the same part at a car dealer (Yikes!!!!). So much for my plan of going to a car dealer to get the part quicker...LOL!
Looks like is was a great day, and Cochrane's is a great course.
Always enjoy your videos and I appreciate you helping the economy by contributing the cost of a new fender to the collective wealth!
crikey what on earth part could have such a huge difference?!? It was a fantastic day and the weather was great! And thank you, I do my best to boost up the ontario economy, those speedo wires arent cheap either haha 🤮
@@woodlandwugui MAP sensor circuit problem according to the flashing light. in my kill button. Makes it really hard to start. Just got in a new MAP sensor in and tried it out. No better!
I have some disassembling and connection checking to do tonight!
Silver lining is it gives my thumb more time to heal from cranking it playing hockey
@@rondaniels9974 ahhh dreaded electrics, damn that sucks it didnt work. Electrics terrify me more than mechanics, i feel like a monkey who just is staring at things I don't understand when it comes to that.

Luckily for me, I was a telephone repairman while in school, I'm trained in electronics for scientific applications and I teach (among other things) how to create machines that interface microprocessors and sensors/motors, so I'm less intimidated than most.
Once fixed my car's air conditioning after taking an oscilloscope home and reading the signals going to it.
I put in a new sensor last night. $48 off Amazon instead of $240 at the dealer. Cheap chinese knock-off.
REALLY hard to start, got the code again and when I bench tested the sensor, it was fried in the exact same way at the first one.
Took apart all of the wiring on the bike and cleaned all the connections. Metered the three wires coming from the sensor.
All three registered conductivity with miniscule resistance - GREAT!
Then I checked between the wires. Ground wire was zero conductivity to the other wires - perfect. Signal wire to input voltage wire was 6.8 kOhm - BAD!!!!
Examined the wire loom and found that the wires for this sensor had been rubbing on the frame (bike has over 500 hours on it), and had rubbed through the insulation a touch. Add a bit of dirty moisture and you've got a short circuit. Moved the wires away from each other and cleaned everything.... zero conductivity.
It's nice when you find the physical flaw. Lot less tossing and turning at night when you know what's causing the problem.
Since no fraying of wire, I just encased each wire separately in silicone and heat shrink tubing wrap and will do another round of this over the whole bundle tonight.
The partial short circuit was sending bad readings to the ECU AND blowing up my sensors (they don't like it when voltage is applied to their output pin).
I felt a bit of funny hesitation/surging at low throttle once or twice at RJ's, but that was only one of MANY reasons I was super slow that race...LOL!
Now that I've got the root cause sorted, I'll get a good OEM sensor in and not worry about this again for another 8 years.
I will, of course, meter the Fuel injector, temp sensor and throttle position wires while I've still got everything apart...
@@rondaniels9974 that whole ordeal sounds like exactly what happened to zach attack last year on his beta, he had troubles for a few weeks and it turned out the fuel tank rubbed through the wiring harness! Well heres to the next 500 hours!
Thanks for the cameo! Love seeing some more aggressive riding. Just be careful with those shoulders!
I just need to be more aggressive without being dangerous! toot toot coming through kinda...
Good job Lewis! It was a fantastic day.
Absolute treat racing with you man! Was expecting to hear you making wild noises as you passed me!
Looks like an awesome trail. Wonder if they have or planning to do "Maxi trail" class. So we can run 890s and T7s :)
The amount of flow on this track would be pretty sick to see people ripping the t7's through, but hey id be happy with it becoming a yearly event first.
I rode my T7 around this course as a sweeper. It got really torn up from the morning classes.
One of my favourite XCs!
@@gonna_try_anyway7047 What do you think we create a maxi trail class, twin cylinders only above 500cc. I have seen it in Portugal and Spain. Looks like a ton of fun on heavies.
@DanielHelc would be cool, but im not sure where that would fit within the classes, and it would be almost impossible to slide another race in there. They definitely need there own time slot, maybe with e-moto do a 1 hour race.
