My 1st Dirt Ride of 2012


Recommended Posts

Took my tracks off a week ago and got the bike ready for some serious dirt rid’in this year ... I hope. :hurrayc:

I changed the front & rear diff fluids, the gear box fluid, engine oil, filter, put on a new belt (try’in a Gates G-Force this time), new plugs, greased the Bad Boy, and then put all the skid plates back on ... and the tires & wheels of course .... :smilielol5c:

Decided to drive about 100 miles South of where I live to the Old Pony Express Route in the West Desert by a small township named Vernon. Went out there because I figured there would be less or no snow compared to some other desert places I ride sometimes this time of year. Well, there was plenty of snow to play in & it kept me out of a couple places .... but there is so much area out there a guy could ride for days. :partyc:

On the way back to the truck I opened her up a little ... at 65mph I decided that was fast enough. However, I could tell she still had more .... so maybe next time ... :woot:

Saw lots of deer, but only got one to hold still long enough to take a photo. I also saw a few Antelope & the one in the video kept running in the same direction I was riding, so when I got my chance I snapped a photo of him too. :coolgleamAc:

Had a great day out there and I think I’ll head out there again next week. Did about 46 miles, which put me 2.2 miles short of 1700 total miles on the Canned Ham in less than one years time. I have eight more days before I have that one year on my new bike, so by the end of the next ride, I’ll have about 1750 ... if I push it !! :icon_bsc:

Hope you enjoy the video .... :cheers2c:

THANKS Ajmboy !! Glad you enjoyed the vid !! :bow:

Well, the first two tunes I selected caused the video to be blocked in most the world :party2: , so these two tunes were my second choices ... but I like'em myself ... so THANKS again !! :bow2:

      Oil is getting in the air box from crankcase vent tube, I put the two hoses that go to the air box together then something started to smoke on the front of the engine. There is a filter? In the line I blew that out.

      Greetings, 
      Have a 88 LT80 that been sitting for a couple years. Bought a new piston, cylinder and head. Installed these, rolled it over and it quickly locks up.  Took carb apart. It was full of what appears to be 2 cycle oil. Cleaned it, but keeps locking up and 2 cycle oil continues to seap from exhaust port.  When i installed new cylinder, I noticed crankcase was full of oil.  I'm now wondering if that oil is what's getting sucked up into cylinder.  Should there be no oil in crankcase?  If that the case, how is crank and rod lubricated?  Sorry, never worked on a 2 stroke. Thanks!
