About using diesel oil in your bikes I actually contacted DELO and one of their oil technicians about using diesel oil in our bikes and he said he'd heard about Harley riders using it etc but said he wasn't so sure about us using it in smaller cc bikes bcause of ash problems but said it was certainly interesting that people do use it. I can get the email up if need be he explains the pros and cons better then I can and maybe we can put that issue to bed.

Ok, at least I have enough class to have tried to have this come out in the win column for both of us, long shot that it was. Oh well.

So I'm trying a Golden tyre fatty on the front of my Berg, it's freakin huge! After 1 quick ride I like it. Anybody else try one?

My sister uses them and thinks they are the best. I am using the Mitas but thinking of changing up. I also have been looking into trials tires as allot here are on that kick. Have you been on pavement with it and if so, how does it feel?

I did ride it on the road to the trail, but just putted as it doesn't have a plate. It is a nice twisty road and it felt okay with about 13lbs in it.
I like the MT43 on the rear of less powerful bikes. You can see the KTM on the trailer has one. They just don't hook up on more powerful bikes IMO, especially in all the sand we ride out here.

I love the MT43 on tight slower paced technical stuff. I run one on my KDX200 and my GF on her KTM 250rfs and it grabs onto rocks and loose terrain surprisingly well. I'll likely try one on the 300 next. IMO the only negative on tight ST is that in looses traction braking down steep loose hills sooner than a knobby, but it works so well everywhere else, including climbing, it's not a deal breaker for me. It's great that it's DOT legal, and also wears like iron.
Not surprisingly as a trials type tire it isn't my choice for the open desert. It doesn't hook up well in the sand or in fast corners when pushed hard at higher speeds-where I like to run higher pressures. It does well when ridden with finesse, like a trials rider, not a ham fisted MX or desert goon, (which I am getting too old to be).

i run one on my 650, but i don't ride as hard as i used to. it gets a fair amount of road use and i can't say it feels a lot different that a regular knobby if inflated to 12-15 psi. i try to avoid the sugary sand which is easy to do around here as it is high desert. works great in loose rocks which we seem to have a lot of.

I don't think a 20" has a 'larger' sidewall? a 20" tyre has no benefit at all. you have a cvhoice of two tyres and there are 50 to choose from in 21". they are 90/90 as are the 21" but the advantage that the 20" has is that they run them on a 2.15 rim.
I don't get that one at all......

Would that not give a wider profile at lower tire pressure a better surface to grab the rocks? I don't think any advantage to the 20 over 21? Anyone on this topic? What does a front tire really do but track and follow where it is placed? As long as it tracks and does a good job of that is really all we need? Just thoughts.

as you know, I'm heavily involved in the sidecar-cross scene and sponsor a team. we only have two 20" tyres to choose from: a Pirelli and a Maxxis. Maxxis have recently made about 1,000 tyres and then destroyed mould. Maxxis have said that. so soon, ScX will have to get by with one tyre. apparently, 1,000 tyres was a mornings work for one machine and barely worth the effort.
the wider the tyre, the less penetration you get. if you were to load the front end with weight, make it handle, make it grip etc with no loss whatsoever (and it is always a compromise) then it might be better. but the steering would be heavier, the grip levels would throw the bars around, the bike would be heavy to steer and the settings compromised because of it.
on the Sc, Rob found that with a 2.15 front rim, the grip level was the same with a 21" and it was better over rough ground than the 20", that 21" absorbed the bumps better due to the diameter. he felt he needed more time for testing. the actual difference was just 10-15mm in height and the steering and suspension were totally altered. it took three sessions to make it handle with a change of front loop position and front shock change to keep the original ride height on the front.

Honda pushed the 23" front wheel for a couple years. It sucked. The 20" was all the rage for a very short time, then like the 23, it went the way of the dodo. Based on tire availability alone, I'll stick with the 21.

Forget all that the rear Goldentyre can be as much 2x what I get most tires in the US. They can't be that Good??
holy **** boys is THIS STILL GOING ON???
Damn I'm just burying my younger brother and last year my mom yeah I know TMI but honestly life isn't about who's right it's about RIDING OUR HUSABERG's and having fun and helping each other!
Ok I'll just shut up. I'm 1500 miles from home cleaning up a huge mess and would love to go out in the woods on one of my Husa boys

Life does not suck! Just have fun and continue to ride the best dam bike life has to offer. We only have a one time shot and as long as that shot is the best we can do and we have no regrets, than it was a wonderful life. It is sad that we have to endeavor loss but those we have lost would never want us to grieve and or suffer as they would want us to go on and have a wonderful life. My heart does go out to those who suffer loss, but this is the way of all of our destiny and nothing can change that.
Live life to your fullest, don't have regrets and when the day comes make sure you can say that you have done everything you wanted to do, you have lived life to the fullest and when that day comes make sure that all you have left in that wake are not hurting and or suffering for the day you leave us.
We have a short life and with this said, we must be who we are and enjoy every minute or when the day comes we will regret.

FE350 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other. We are all going die. Have Fun in between it all. We all take death in different ways. Remembering them is what counts to Me. LadyBerg and honoring there memory. Motoz Mountain Hybrid or extreme Hybrid?
