Good luck with the international racing next season.
Thank You! I will certainly post about our activities and race reports, maybe create a separate topic about the bike also.
Plan is to participate on the enduro European Championship with full program. No specific target but we hope to surprise

Pushed it for 40 mins in the mid-afternoon Abu Dhabi baking heat after it wouldn't start when hot..... almost passed out at one point!

Did you have to push it all the way back to your hauler? Or, did you get it started? I normally carry everything I need to get going in my fanny pack. I HATE to push my bike. I even let it push itself into the truck.

Watching the video clip, it looks to me like things are progressing well.
I'm looking forward to following your race season.

Good Riding!

Please tell me what you've got in your fanny pack.... the only thing I wish I was carrying that day was a lighter!

Default New graphics!

After several years of beating my bike up I figured I owed it a quick refresh. I ordered from Moto-styleMX and I am really happy with the kit. It was affordable, and they let me make a few changes to it with no additional charge. Shipping was really fast as well. I had to use a little heat and stretching to get everything to line up, but that was expected. The glue looks to have a pattern to it similar to some of the 3M vinyls helping to keep the air bubbles to a minimum.

Honestly, I have used Factory FX, One Industries, and several other of the big brand graphics in the past and I feel like the Moto-styleMX are better. The install was definitely easier.

Well, the important part. Pics.

All white is actually kinda cool looking.





It also came with front fender/swinger/subframe/airbox decals. I'm not sure if I'll use them though.

shop rag (to lay out parts on, instead of the ground)
needle nose vice grips
MSR convertable screw driver (two phillips heads, two straight heads, 6mm socket and 8mm socket)

two spark plugs
pocket knife
small (tiny) straight and phillips screw drivers
Fredette riders wrench (fits spark plug, 17mm hex head, rear axle nut.)

several assorted zip ties
short length of fuel hose
7mm, 11mm, 8mm, 12mm, 2-13mm, & 2-10mm combination end wrenches.
spoke wrench
http://msracing.com/hard-parts/tools/spoke-wrench.html
12" of stainless safety wire
4 selected "allen" wrenches (for hex socket head bolts)
lighter
phone

2 clean rag (for google or glasses lenses.)
$20 bill (to possibly bribe someone to give me a ride to the truck or home.)

The fanny pack (Fox Classic pak) weighs about 2.5lbs.

Since I use rim locks on my tires, I won't take tire tools or tubes unless I am going to be 20 miles or more from the truck. I normally just ride a flat back to the truck.

I HATE to push my bike.

I hope that this helps.

Good Riding!
Jim

Nice one Jim! Here was me thinking I'd gone prepared with my KTM tool roll and some cable ties!

I've got a good 5kg of tools in my roll. Everything from open enders and sockets, allen keys and pliars. Some assorted nuts and bolts, work rags, bike pump, jets and needles, a torch, ciggie lighter, etc. Tyre levers x 3 too.. The weight adds up quick and I could probably strip out a lot to make it more 'bike specific'.. but meh.
