Starting in January, a couple of other guys and I discussed riding to Copper Canyon. I decided to go, and to ride the KTM (1998 620 RXC).
MODIFICATIONS:
I thought about a number of modifications to make before the trip. Here's what I modified:
- Replaced the original tank with the 20 Liter tank.
- Replaced the modified Quicksilver carburetor with a 40mm Dellorto. Jetting and set-up took quite some time (this being the first time I ever have messed with a carb other then my R100GS).

HondaXR.com have done a review of the Quicksilver Pumper Carb, which has been very successful for the XR 650 mailing list guys.
HondaXR.com fitted it to an older XR 600, with good results.
Might be a nice add on for the little XR 250 I reckon. ;-)

Well, i've seen the Design Cafe on a few websites over the last week or so, so I decided to check it out.
The site shows a few concept models, and asks for your feedback on what you'd like to see.
Check it out for yourself here
It would be greate to see this sort of thing from all the manufacturers, so even if you're not particularly a Yamaha person, check it out, and give it a go.

Ricky Carmichael makes it three in a row, and Chad Reed makes it four in a row.
In the 250's, David Vullemin who has been the points leader up until now had to sit out the round due to the injury received last weekend at a magazine shoot. This and Carmichael winning the round sees him now with a 5 point lead over Vullemin.
Tim Ferry also made a good return, after injuring himself in round 4, coming in second.
