Today we were on the top section of the mountain...our pits were located at Devils Playground. Let me tell you, at 4 AM at 13K ft. it is COLD!!!!
The section we practiced on was all dirt road...they must have had some rain overnight as it was very damp and even muddy in places. Flat track tires didn't work very well in the early runs.
One rider crashed with minor bruising from what he said...still it took the wind out of my sails! That and the fact that I had tagged a wall with a rear tire on one of the corners...just took it easy today.
I brought the camera up to the summit on one of the runs, the view is beyond description....

The rider is doing good, he's more worried about getting his quad back together by sunday than anything. It sucks riding up and seeing a friend lying motionless in a ditch.
On a brighter note I think I finally got my FI mapping on my suzuki right. The last full run I made she was screaming.
Great camera shots Blaine! Hoes the motor/ carb, and gearing on that section of the coarse? Correy called me again just now and wanted to know how your Honda was running, and he heard there were some DNF's but thought most of them were from transponders not working right? Any word on this?

Truth be told...I'm ready for it to be done...this has been a LONG two weeks! Tired of wrenching, tired of getting up at 2:30 AM...and just plain tired! I'm not used to this heat and altitude...tough on us old guys! Give me -20 and sea level...nice thick air!

It's been a long two weeks because for the week prior to leaving home, I was in a constant trash fest to get everyting done...get out to CO and spend the week prior practicing and getting up at 2:30 AM....then 3:30 for the race....
Now I get to crawl out of bed at 6 and start a 14 hour drive home...then try and catch up on everyting that went to $hit while I was gone...work, house, etc....
Hey guys, I have a 2005 trx 450r. At the races this past wkend I noticed a little bit of what looked to be oil coming out of my weep hole on the side of the cylinder. Anyone know what would cause this and should I be worried lol?
My crank bearings went, motor locked. Now I’m opening it up and kinda need some advice as to what put into it. Should I get a hotrods stroker? Should I stay with the oem crank? Bigger cylinder and piston? Stage 2 cams? Anything is appreciated, I just want to make power and reliability.
I know this is probably a glitch or something in the parts diagram through Rocky Mountain but I was in search of a Gasket and came across this and I was a little thrown off. What in the Heck?! Almost looks like a Air Box and Turbocharger that will fit and or is for a TRX450ER (Sarcasm of course)...
