Pulling away on the XR600R!

My morning started with new wheels, tubes, tires. I got a flat on the first lap of practice. I got a new tube put in before the race, and it went flat on the second lap of the race! My suspicion is that the local shop that installed the new tires on the new wheels installed the wrong size rim locks on the rear.
I'll get em next race!

It's funny hearing that big old engine just moan around the track while that RM screams it's guts out

[@hdidane00]

2 stroke all day don't hate. don't forget that's 600 collateral cc's it took to beat that tiny 250cc smoker. it would take just another 50cc to beat that lame ass 4 stroker. try it with a KTM 380 for instance and we not even talking 500cc big bore monsters.

[@Endo240]

@@hdidane00 500cc Big bore is around 700cc for 4 strokes

[@fosterkatchen7010]

hdidane00 bahahah man... I’m a 2 stroke guy at heart but 2 strokes aren’t where it’s at with motocross anymore. A modern day fuel injected 450 would smoke any 500cc 2stroke. They are easy to ride and handle wayyyy better. 500 2 bangers are honestly pieces of shit that rattle like crazy and have outdated suspension.

Wrong size rimlocks, or maybe a spoke head is sticking through the rim strap. That will cut a tube in no time. Awesome ride though 👌

[@Desert10075]

To bad about the flat, i have a very fast friend who has a garage full of trophies, he always said about it depends on the rider, some guys out there can outrun people on a honda 90. Thats what he said, it sounds like an exaggeration but the point is you rode the honda like that. Way to go. I was leading a mx race years ago, although i mostly race desert, on a 400 yamaha it. It flooded out on the whoops with the finish line in view. I started pushing it and everyone passed me. I finished last. But i know how it is.

Have not used rim locks on any of my bikes over the last 20 years. On my XR650L which does road, gravel and single track hasn't been a problem running between 15 - 20 PSI. If max torque does not slip the tyre on a grippy surface like tar then it's good for me.

I have seen you flat so many times. All I can say is Tubliss!

[@fastguysslowbikes]

Tubliss would fail too if the rim locks aren't working.

[@victorcoots3802]

@@fastguysslowbikes With tubliss you greatly reduce pinch flats and you no longer have the variant of rim lock size. Your problem, assuming you are correct, is that the tube tears at the valve stem or other weakpoint.. You dont have the same mechanisms at play. Then there are the moose options too. Either way good luck in whatever you decide.

[@mattnesbitt6633]

If you haven’t already made your purchase, might I suggest you go with the xr650l. Take my word for it, (and I’m sure many others) you won’t be disappointed. You can grab a 2021, or 1993 and anything in between, and you won’t regret it.
