24 hours of tradition, speed, and clapped-out motorcycles - this is the Glen Helen 24-Hour Endurance Race, Rocky Mountain ATV/MC style. In episode 3 of the series we head out to California to meet up with Aj Catanzaro and the Keefer Inc. crew to continue testing on the $1500 budget bikes and give all the riders some seat time on their race machines.
In our newest cheap bike challenge, we’re testing if $1,500 motorcycles can make it 24 hours straight. The 24-Hour Endurance Race at Glen Helen was the perfect backdrop for our new series. Situated on a mountain side and maintained as one of the premiere motocross tracks in the nation, Glen Helen is host to one of the toughest and longest races in the industry. We’ve already survived some pretty crazy challenges, so what’s one more?

I knew Kyle would bail. He’s a single track rider who’s a spoiled baby. If it ain’t a 2022 Ktm or beta he’s not going to ride it. I’m actually shocked you offered him the spot. He’s in Utah, population 70 lol that mans not sick. He knows if he claims sick nobody can question it. I watch kyles channel because he makes good videos but I can see right away that he’s not a guy I’d ever wanna hang out with. I hate to say things like that but, it is what it is.

Check to see if the power valve is operating properly.

@youlooze2me 2 жыл бұрын

the power valve is probably moving slowly or stuck, it may also be getting stuck in different positions which will make the power curve unpredictable.

I also was wondering why they didn't check the power valve, especially after they re-jetted the carb to altitude and still were having those symptoms.

@user-ls3cj6nr6e Ай бұрын

I've been re watching this series and I think what made the rad dragon in that situation is that from choosing the bike there's no teamwork that happened or even a planning. To explain further we all know Chase aren't mechanically inclined guy yet as we see in the first episode that he just bought a bike that he feels good which is actually a good bike but in a poor condition. That mistake could also be corrected if his team mate Eric helped to fixed the YZ after they bought a backup bike (that left handed KTM 620?-630?) I would also mention the strategy that Wes and Charles did which is to buy the same year and model bike in that case they could swap parts if they need to and luckily the second WR came with a lot of spare parts. I watched every episode of this series the day they were uploaded in youtube and man you should continue doing this but this time justin is on the other side of the team

@rmatvmc 2 жыл бұрын

Well, that is a good question haha. I didn't own my first dirt bike til I was 25 so I had zero experience working on them before that. I've only ever rode 4 strokes so anything two stroke is even more foreign to me. I've definitely learned a lot since I started riding, but I've also always had new or new(er) bikes so other than working on suspension, I've never had to do much engine work. I learned a ton from the 5 miles of hell series when Charles helped me rebuild my Honda 450 top to bottom. Trust me, I'm always asking questions and trying to learn more. And if you think I'm bad, AJ probably knows less than I do. You'd be surprised at how many supercross racers have very little mechanical knowledge. - Chase
