Cannondaleriders

I'm going to weigh the facts as I interpret them...<br /><br />Honda's engine CRF450... Not bad... No warranty... expensive parts... they do blow up... Carbureted<br /><br />Cannondale's engine... Not bad... No warranty... expensive parts... they do blow up... Fuel injected<br /><br />Cannondale... ...

Either way you slice it... It's a great design... Although flawed with little detail crap... A+ in design... What I don't get is how the new Yammy 450 is twenty five pounds lighter with a steel frame? Huh? How is that thing going to stay together over the big rumpty rumps?<br /><br />I will not be t...

Oh, my...<br /><br />Sounds like I've got a lot to learn...<br /><br />One of the places that I ride has a jump that excellerates up a man made ramp to the top of a mid 80's caprice roof line. The idea being that the ramps angle of attack will propel an individual and his motorcycle over the caprice...

Ah, have you spoke with South bay? I'm not confident that the part you need is unavailable. Also, it's a bearing right? There are multiple manufacturers in the U.S. whom would be more than capable of remanufacturing you a custom bearing.

When I jump if the nose is high I don't get on the gas so what typically happens is the rear hits first and then causes the nose to slap hard. Which is generally when the pain comes in.<br /><br />What should I do when leaving the ramp? Smooth and coast or be on the gas for the push? Does it even ma...

Hmmm,

Okay that's one thing because I am never on the gas when I land! NEVER! I saw somewhere that I'm suppose to pull the clutch in when I take off? Is this true? If so... How the heck am I suppose to hang on to the damb handle bars and work the clutch at the same time?

I went to an MX track this weekend and hooked up with a bunch of guys with CRF's. Got to take a few laps on one. <br /><br />This machine was an 03 and was ridden aggressively and I've got to say that the Honda had more rattles and quarky noises then my Cannondale ever had.<br /><br />Power was good...

I am loving the Speed that I own... However, everytime I try to do some jumping it just never works out too well...<br /><br />The landings are so rough. <br /><br />I don't jump that far maybe fifteen to twenty feet. I had my suspension on it's lightest setting and I bottomed out big time. Ripped m...

This may sound slightly insane... But, my machine was running similarly at a sand drag two weeks ago... I changed the fuel filter and it went away instantly. Now, I don't know what's up the flame thing????? I would plop a new fuel filter in her and try again...

cheap and easy!

Hmmmm,<br /><br />If he does have an 03 C-Dale shouldn't he have the update already? Can you check to make certain that you don't have two small tubes you have just one large vent hose from the bottom of the crank case...<br /><br />If you do have just one large one then you have the update and you ...
