General talk about supermoto that doesn't fit in other categories.
some members figured since there are loads of stickies and threads on how to properly set up a bike we should also look into a gear specific sticky. this topic is ment to provide reviews about gear specific items written by members for other members. to keep every organised I'm going to ask...

Hey Guys.... Just saw this on the ZRXOA board, and know that Jim posted here a lot. My thoughts go to those he left behind.... I am 99.99% sure that this is Samurai-Jim. "For those of you that knew him (Jim O'Brien) passed away from what they said on the news.They just showed it and he...
Hey, I don't know if there is much interest in this, but after answering a question in another thread, I realized that most people here have no clue how bike shops work. I've basicly held most every job you can have at a couple, and figured I could help. I think if you know how dealers work, maybe...
Elka group buy for XR 650 L:clap: Yes you read it. XR 650 L. Elka does not currently manufacture a rear shock for this bike but they will make them for those who sign up on this group-buy if we get at least 10 buyers. These are absolutely custom made shocks set up for the way you ride. They take...
I saw this sticker the other day and thought it was funny. Post up your funny stickers
I rent in a house and get a lot of space for the money. About 7 weeks ago my bathroom drain shit the bed (pun intended), and the landlord brought in a crew of amateurs to fix it. Needless to say, said amateurs botched the job not once but twice, and they made a huge mess in the process. One thing...
I'm at a little over 400 miles on my new 08 sm610 and just called the dealer about the first service. They said it was a 5 hour job (at $86/hour) to do: - valve check - drain and remove radiators - coolant changed - engine screens removed and cleaned - change oil - torque bolts -...
Had to share this, as it's one of the more interesting things in supermoto i've heard in along time. there's only so much vendor bashing i can take. Just got off the phone with a customer who is purchasing parts for a early 80s Honda XR600. The cool part is that he is a middle school Teacher...
Well I was kinda hesitant to start this thread so early in this project but I think that it may help me keep moving on it and get it done. The reason I bought my drz (which I do love and will never regret buying) is because I wanted to do a rear suspension swap from a buell on my sportster, mainly...
I've never had any problems with searching using the forum search function until a few days ago. Now everything i search for says, "no results found" Anyone know whats going on here?
Not too serious bike wreck today, sent me flying over some guys hood because he doesn't know how to turn from the turn lane. Or use a blinker for that matter. I'm ok and so is the bike. Just a few scrapes on me and the bike:
When is the next one due out? I paid last month and was wondering when to expect it.
So i went on ride today and i put my GPS in my backpack to track where we went. i get back home and my odometer on the bike said i went 45 miles and the odometer on the GPS said i went 65. I have taken the GPS with me on car trips and the car odometer matches the GPS odometer. So its not the GPS. I...

I thought I would post about my experience with Epic Motosports in Longmont, CO. Here is a time line based on my phone log and my recollection of what was said. Some things I remember exactly, others are probable based on what I remember. Background: My fork seals were leaking, so I called the...
Hey, im planning on riding out to Long Island, New York in a week or so with my Dad and his KLR650. Family and the like on the island... Any places worth riding around at? I expect it to be generally flat (and sandy) but we were gonna tool around Montauk area for a bit. Tried looking for public...
Im thinking of swapping up my Gixxer 750 for one, i originally got into bikes because i always wanted one but got distracted by sportsbikes. Only thought is im so used to and love the pace/madness of my 750 that im not sure if a supermoto will cut it. Plus i do the odd long day on the 750 and i...

Each question is unique for the OP so please refrain from asking me to do a search. I'm already int he midst of planning a trip. I'd like to ride down to a spot and just go offroad, I'm looking for a Baja style place where you can just go WFT for days. I prefer scenic views like riding up to...
I have a 2007 DRZ 400 SM in perfect shape. It is black with a 3x3 air box conversion and a K&N filter. Other than that, it is stock with about 6000 miles on it and brand new tires. It was stolen a few years ago, and the previous owner was paid for the bike from the insurance company. A few...
Me and another Junkie got a little off topic in another thread talking about riding in sand so I thought I'd start a new one and get some opinions,experiences from more people. 1- What tires are you using on your tard (brand,model and size) 2- What kind of sand (loose soft sand, thick wet sand...

What do you think of the new Triumph Hellfir which is a remake of the company Motocorner from Germany ! This bike is a cross with Street Triple and one of other Bike from Triumph. To me this is one of the finest Bikes but this is a matter of taste of each driver. However, it is a waste of time...
anyone see the new burg FS 570A ? Looks like fun !!
I couldn't edit the original thread, so I had to make a new one. Please note, these are not "official" SMJ decals, they are made by me, on behalf of my decal company www.iHeartDecals.com . SMJ staff are aware of these decals, and have given the okay under the assumption that you purchase at your...
...in one day? I'm looking to take a bit of a roadtrip this weekend. Going back to Altoona to visit some family. I'd like to take my DRZsm, there are a shit load of fun roads to ride back home. It's only about 120 miles, so I figured it couldn't be too bad. I'd end up stopping at least once for...
Hey having trouble with my 98 wr400 accelerator pump nozzle being blocked
Went for a 25 mile ride or so today, kickstarted the bike when i left, hung out at my buddys place and when i went to leave relized that i had no kickstart:clap: Rode up and down the road looking for it, it must have vibrated off somewhere! NO trace of it, either its in the bushes somewhere or...
I just want to get an idea of how FUKKED I probably am. It started earlier this year happening every few weeks or so, but today it happened several times. Shifting through the gears with considerable power being applied shes slipping out of gear. In example it shifts good 1-2-3-the second I let...
Hey guys, I'm thinking about selling my KTM 300 2t. I'm in the military and just dont know where im going. The 300 sm'd is a blast but the roads need to be very twisty to have fun. Im worried im going to hate it if i go somewhere flat and strait. But hey i could always use it as a fun beater race...
So I just got my Crossfires recently and ordered the old style (not the whole sole, individual sliders) supermoto scuff pads... Welll.... looking at them and looking at the 1/4turn screws of the soles on my boots it looks like I need A. longer 1/4 turn screws, or B. something else?? When I look at...
Well im tired of seeing the same ol gear. I currently run a Alpinestars Supermoto suit but its just to hot for leathers in FL. The last race was about 100 degrees and 100% humidity out and i was die'n. All my buddies run MX gear (with appropriate armor) and they dont look like there burn'n up. So i...

Howdy everybody, I live in Arizona in the winter and am looking to get a new 2010 Honda 450x and then convert it to sm. I have a question about where to go for the best deal. I live in Kingman and am hoping the dealerships are looking to unload the 10's to make way for the 11's. I do not mind...

Just wanted to let everyone know about our decal site that stemmed from a joke after I looped my DRZ :laughingr . My friends came to pick me up, and the first thing they did after jumping out the truck was tag my bike with this decal: Those bastards! :lol: I posted that picture here on SMJ,...

Im not looking to SM or take it on the road legally. Just looking to make a lot stunt bike. Can you put street tires on aftermarket ( stock sized ) wheels on a crf450?
gp this weekend in indy.......anyone going????
I want to be able to burn up trails and cruise into town on the same bike, so would I be better off going with the WR250X and do a tire swap whenever I want to go on some trails or should I get the WR250R? Or is there another option?
i did a wheelie, past a cop. :damn: Instead of giving me a ticket for reckless driving or whatever, he just wrote me up for unsafe speed. He asked "so about how fast do you go when you do those wheelies?" i lied a little and said 25, which i saw on a sign behind him was the posted speed...
Went to Greer Dragway a couple of weeks ago...Ran the DRZ and Joe (motorcycle2) ran his CBR 1000. Had a great time! In Case your wondering....Yea, I got the Busa!!! Check out the tree!!!!:D

As you could guess by my name, I own a Husqvarna 570 2003. It has given me nothing but trouble and now, after I rode it for the first 35km, it bent an exhaust valve. I wrenched on that thing so much it already hurts when I think about it. Currently the cylinder head is getting a new valve and I...
