I've added over $4k of modifications to this cycle shortly after purchasing it. I'm intending this cycle to be a dual sport in purpose, and a USA BDR rider in particular. So, it will see freeway roads and speeds in excess of 75 MPH with hours of seat time slabbing it. It will also see sketchy two track and possible some single track, mud and for sure, some deep sand. So, *lots* of different conditions will be in view during the build, and as you consider the mods I make, please keep in mind my purpose for this cycle. Everything is a trade off, a compromise. Including cost. For instance, I did not / will not add a Rally tower or Rally type lighting. It's just too darned expensive for my purpose. But, I *am* big on protecting the cycle from hits and drops. So, I build out a layered approach to protection, with an eye on weight since I'll have to pick it up when I drop it. I'm also big on protecting *me* in these various environments. I can do something about the (my) body protection with various clothing armor pieces. I try to be seen, too. So, I'm big on lighting up the front, back and sides because drivers need to see me as best as I can make that happen. Sure, BDR riding does not need all that lighting. But, getting there and connecting the trail bits via roads *does* need it. So, it's on there. I referenced a lot of other folk's builds, picking out the pieces that I thought would be beneficial without adding too much weight, cost, or just too "blingy" for my taste. Kudos to Rocky Mountain ATV.com, and ADVPulse.com for their build descriptions. I also bought from KTM Twins.com, but I'm not very happy with that experience (returns take forever, and they dinged me for a lot of cash, for doing it). Probably not buying from them, if I can help it, anymore. Have a look... -
Back before I quit racing enduro and harescrambles we always ran an inline filter but it seems nobody does anymore. Does everyone rely on the little in tank filter only? I don't think it's as crucial for the moto guys because they have time to clean the bikes up some before opening up the fuel cap.

Anyone else use motor oil for there air filters? I use the left over of each bottle of royal purple 10w40 for the air filters in all the bikes since there's a little over 300 ml left in a bottle after doing both the kids pw50's. I'm sure someone will come along and say it's not good to use, but it really works great and is 1 less thing to buy. -
Has anyone had any issues withe the fuel filters on the newer bikes? I know they had some issues in 09 but have not really heard anything since then. My 2014 has had no issues til this weekend. It had been running fine(other than occasional flameout) and the last moto of the day it started bogging at lower rpm's and kinda had to keeep it rev'd up coming into corners or it seemed like it would die. The weird thing is it seemed to run fine up top unlike my 09 with bad filter that would bog out up top. I have only bought gas from one staion for the last 3 years and never had a issue with their fuel. I might try a new spark plug.

Would it be reasonable to put a fuel filter onto a 2-stroke or would the filter get gummed up to quickly?

Mona Lisa - project 43. I ditched the old beat up GEICO graphics for fresh Muscle Milk ones ! Swapped the bar pad for a Renthal and installed white fork and disc guard too. There is nothing to be done.- 2 comments
