Tech tip Tuesday -
Leaky fork seals are NOT good. In addition to reducing the way your front suspension work, if you have upside down forks they also can end up leaking oil onto your brakes and tires. Get this fixed ASAP.

To check your fork seal - clean and dry the area thoroughly, then compress the suspension as far as you can. When the suspension returns to rest the fork area should be clean and dry. If it's not, then you have a leaky fork seal. Sometimes this can repaired with the use of a "fork seal cleaner" - sometimes they need to be rebuilt. But either way, get it taken care of!

Tech tip Tuesday -
One way valves for your gas tank breather are required! These are cheap, and often people have them in the paddock in case you need one.

As gas flows out of your gas tank into your carburetor bowl, air needs to flow IN to the gas tank. Without a 1 way valve, there's basically a hole in the top of your gas tank...if you tip over/crash - you'll leak gas on the track. These 1 way valves allow air in, but keep gas from getting out!

They're available online cheap, and in any color you need to match your design!

Tech Tips tuesday -
Bar ends are required to pass tech! While we strongly recommend wrap around, as they protect the brake lever AS well as the throttle - simple bar ends will pass tech.

These are required for a couple reasons:
1) They help prevent the throttle tube from getting crushed in the event of a crash
2) In the event of taking a handlebar to the stomach in a crash - they dull that impact and reduce the likelyhood of puncture
3) (wrap arounds) - protect your brake lever from accidently engagement in case of close riding

Tech Tips tuesday -
Safety wire is part of the requirements for getting your bike race ready. There are 2 main purposes:

1 - it ensures that your bolt doesn't vibrate itself loose
2 - it acts as a quick visual check that the bolt has been torqued down appropriately

Safety wire should be done in such a way that the bolt is unable to rotate while the safety wire is attached - that means the safety wire should be tight to the tie down point. The most difficult/annoying part is often drilling the bolt - a drill press can make it a lot easier, or you can often go online and find pre-drilled bolts for sale.

Tech only requires the oil drain bolt(s) and fill cap(s) to be safety wired, but it can be wise to safety wire any bolts that are part of regular maintenance and secure fluids (oil filters, brake calipers, etc).

Tech Tips tuesday -
Catch cans are necessary to prevent oil, coolant, or any other fluid from ending up on the track in the event of a crash. The easiest way to make a catch can is to just cut some PVC pipe to length, press a cap on both ends, and the drill some holes. Your catch can should be large enough to hold a decent bit of liquid, and it should have a vent hole drilled as well. It's not a perfect solution, but it definitely helps!

Fuel injected bikes should only need a catch can/overflow container for coolant.
