November Trail Riding in Vermont | *No Music* KTM 300

NicolasPoirier.Enduro/ @Nicolas.P.Poirier We had a few unseasonably warm days this November. It would be a shame not to take advantage of the nice weather and ride, so that's what we did!

NicolasPoirier.Enduro/ @Nicolas.P.Poirier Haven't ridden this track in a while, so when the word came that they were riding, I was in! The dirt was epic, perfect conditions. I thought it was pretty interesting riding the track backwards after having just ridden it forwards earlier in the day. All the brake bumps were now acceleration bumps, etc. I felt like it was brutal, but, good...

NicolasPoirier.Enduro/ Instagram - Nicolas.p.poirier This 350sxf that i'm currently ridding is unreal. Revs to the moon. Seems like you can just keep it in one gear and wring its neck. Also sold the Honda 450 as well at the track. Went to a buddy of mine - hopefully the motor wont grenade on him like it did for me.
SCCV Ice Time Trials Lake Elmore 2/1/2020

NicolasPoirier.Enduro/ Took a break from dirt bikes today and went out and watched the Sports Car Club of Vermont conduct Ice Time Trials at Lake Elmore. Pretty cool to watch. The cars running "super studs" were certainly very impressive to watch. Massive amount of traction on the ice.
Winter Single Track Riding is Hard!! @ Tom's place
zhlédnutí 132Před 5 lety
Riding at Tom's place and having to ride a single rut is very tricky for me. Somehow Tom seems to fly down the trail, whereas I am constantly dabbing like a little kid on one of those Strider bikes. I'm thinking maybe it's a core strength issue - maybe I'm just a bit sloppier because I'm weaker? NicolasPoirier.Enduro/

how did this bike do street riding ? i’m really considering doing this also
@surfjat15 it does okay, not great. As a 250cc you're really left needing/wanting more. After about 30mph the ability to accelerate hard is lacking
@@NicolasPoirier interesting. my buddy wants to trade his 2017 xcf 250 for my harley plus cash on his end. i’d be interested if it did ok street riding and i can’t find much info online. only looking to make it legal to take back roads and side streets nothing over 50mph for long periods of time
Little tip i just found out while trying to get the clip out , i used a feeler gauge and it came out first try 😮
Weel done video for the average bloke with shed tools 🤙
Where yaat in VT?
This was helpful, thank you!
is the top bearing supposed to move? How do you know it's done? Should I take out the spacer and inspect the bearing?
The top eyelet bushing needs to be pressed in and therefore doesn't 'move'. It gets pressed in until you measure it to be centered on the eyelet. Then, two spacers get place over the bushing and the pivot bolts pivots inside the i.d. of these spacers. Is this what you're asking?
@NicolasPoirier thanks!!!!!
Thank you !
Thanks ! Helped a lot seeing it done with regular tools
Any tips on the last step? The install will not fit with the extra space
Sorry, not sure what you're asking about? Are you referring to the seals? ...or the spacers being installed after the seals are in?
@@NicolasPoirier after the complete install, where you say in the video that you can mount the shock and there is some air pushed out, does not work with me. There is still to much space so the shock will not fit over it...
@jt-id7rk From what i gather you're referring to the spacers with grease on them not seating all the way because the grease traps air. I would suggest having a buddy hold the spacers tight to the heim joint/aluminum swingarm while you guide the shock clevis over the spacers. Best of luck
@@NicolasPoirier thanks for the reply!
Thanks for posting! Very useful!
Nice job! Very good video
Very helpful man thanks!
Cool ! I just got a set o diagle tires
I’ve got a set of these ice tires. there is right around 1000 studs in the tires. And yes they are very heavy and sharp. These studs aren’t AMA legal and can’t be raced in AMA sanctioned races. What a shame. 😢
My MF ice tire has 432 studs. The front slightly less. And yes, these are "Canadian" studs. Not the AMA ("American") studs which are more like sheet metal screws. Having ridden American studded tires with MIRA up in Duluth I can tell you the Canadian studded tires handle the ice/snow chips much better, thereby requiring less plowing of the track. Better for your Sunday outing. Recing wise? No opinion. You race what your allowed and deal with it.
So what did you end up doing once you took them apart? Did you get a new outer tire and reinstall the studs? Or did you fork up the money to buy a whole brand new one from marcel?
I ended up selling the broken down components to someone else so they could make a tire
Awesome! ❤
Great vid! After watching I have a question.. would you even need to remove top bolt from shock ( leave it in the bike) to do this? Just bought the same bike and doing some upgrades. Thanks !
I don't remember if you can access what you need to if you were to leave the top bolt in. It's been a while since I did this
Hi- I have a very similar profile of tire tread for my ice tires, but the rotation arrow shows the profile should be "frowning" when looking at the rear tire from the rear. In the pics it looks like your profile is opposite- "smiling". Could you confirm that is how you run them?
No doubt all tires are built differently, but to answer your question... my tires are built in such a way that when you stand behind the bike looking at the rear tire, the screws should form a smiling pattern. This i would say is the most common pattern I've seen locally. Most of us are using mf1 directional screws by the way. Not sure if build patterns vary depending on directional screws vs symmetrical screws.
@@NicolasPoirier thanks for the reply! I have MF 3/4” screws in rear, MF41 11/16” in front of that helps I am not sure of the right screw orientation though?
@BioHaz43 sadly I'm unfamiliar with those specific screws
Really helpful video! Especially liked the fact you were using normal tools Cheers!
Great Video !! Simple terms, straight to the point, good angles on the footage to see what you're doing. I wish more folks could be this focused on topic.
Good enough for government work lol they would have used a ruler .
How long it was working after this change? I am curious if allballs + grease lasts longer than original KTM
I sold the bike shortly after doing this maintenance to a riding buddy. Therefore, sadly I don't have a great answer for you. He rode it more than I did and I THINK he didn't have to touch this bearing for a while.
@@NicolasPoirier thanks for your reply. I will see 🙂 I used allballs and greased it as you
Spherical bearing is really bad design from KTM. I would go with ball or needle bearing. (the shock absorber would need to be in the center of swing aarm and frame of course)
@3:24 you should support the upper shock body below where you are hammering on the flat side underneath. There is enough room to knock the bearing down and relieve pressure on that snap ring. After that I supported the shock on the top edge of that to knock the bearing completely free. It relieves pressure on the round part of the shock body and torqueing forces from hammering the bearing out. The XC-F / FX shocks don't have as much room figuring out now how to press the new one in. Cheers
it also makes it easier to tap out as not as much impact goes into the torque forces.
Awesome video thanks
I'd never pay that much money for that much extra weight when Gripstuds in my tubeless kitted tires are so light and reliable.
Grip studs are for a more "all terrain" tire set up. These are specifically designed solely for ice. Each setup has its place
These tires will do circles around those. It's fine if everyone has the same thing. But If u wanna win these are the best.
Thanks I didn't know about the retaining clips. but I do now.
Hey can you guide me next Friday i gone ride on frozen lake Its Skardu where K-2 located 2 days away from me
Thanks for the helpful video. Put your bearings in the freezer and add a little heat to the shock and the bearings should drop right in.
I'm looking forward to driving with SCCV at Elmore this Winter! Stoked to see your video.
Disculpa soy de mexico donde puedo conseguir ese buje o cojinete?
whaaaaaaat its so freakin easy compared to my kyb shocks on my honda THEY SHOULD ALL BE LIKE THAT LOL
thank you sir
Estupendo vídeo. Me has sido de gran ayuda colega.
Do they use the same bearing on top and bottom of the shock?
They are different
@@NicolasPoirier alright thank you for letting me know
Great video! Love the commentary 😂
I find it easier to do with the swing arm off, you can also service the swing arm bearings at the same time 😉
I spray a little WD-40 on the threads. Makes it spin nice and easy.
Thanks for the help! I found it easier to give the retaining ring a tap with a centre punch 5mm from its end. It bends the end out so it's easy to get hold of.
Great tip, thanks
Fucking hero.
Neighbor and fellow VT dirt rider, thanks for the reference vid!
👍🏻
Is this a private track? Looks awesome
It is, yes. As long as you're local to Plattsburgh, New York you should be a-okay to ride there after introducing yourself
Thanks, you saved me hours of work!
Since the Heim Joint is a pain in the ass, I have it replaced by plastic (polypropylene) cylinder five years ago, and there are no traces of use on it. It should be tight in housing and the hole must suit the bolt. That is all. No need for any grease, I don't care for water mud or any chemicals and it costs around 4 bucks.
That's a pretty creative solution
Great video ! Thanks man
Great ride! Pretty fast between some of those trees! We follow Hometown Acres (not far from us in Pennsylvania) and saw your comment over there. We'd really appreciate if you'd give our channel a look if you aren't already following us. Thanks!
Super helpful!
I made the cut! Why does it always take til the end of the season to finally ride together?
Hi Nic! Good video! I tend to twist the spring to make adjustments up and down. Thanks again! Ryan T. - Utah
Good video. Good technique for “garage” repair. Much better than most... Thanks for posting!
