D.I.D is the number one motorcycle chain in the world. D.I.D chains are used by factory races teams from all manufacturers in race series everywhere. The D.I.D ERT2 chain is the most trusted chain in Supercross and motocross racing because of its reputation of meeting the high quality demands that are required when pushing the limits. It was designed with the intention of making a chain that is optimized for the purpose of racing. D.I.D beefed up the ERT2 chain by increasing the pin size by 3% to give the chain an average tensile strength of 8,100 pounds. Increasing the strength of the ERT2 chain did not come with a sacrifice of weight, in fact DID was able to shed 5% from the previous ERT chain. Exclusively designed for motorcycle racing. High-performance, lightweight and low friction chain. 3% bigger pin diameter and 5% lighter than former ERT. Provides the highest wear resistance, tensile strength and impact resistance. Average tensile strength of 8,100 pounds. Wear life index: 430. Rated for up to a 450cc motocross bike. Weight (per 100 links): 2.99 pounds. Includes a clip-style master link. 120 links. Notes: ERT and ERT2 Connecting Links are not interchangeable. Non-sealed chains require more regular maintenance than sealed (O-ring, X-ring) versions and are mainly recommended for off-road use.

520 ert2 chain

"I cut 2 links out of it. I have always figured to get a chain that is a little long in the beginning then cut to fit. Better to have too much than not enough.
Only a couple of rides on it, but so far it is doing well. I like the finish on it. I used to ride an O-ring, but it was a bugger to get back on. So, I went with this instead."
 
Important note: This piston is for a stock sized bore. Please measure your cylinder to check clearance before ordering. Wiseco leads the performance aftermarket by producing the highest quality forged pistons in the U.S.A. Wiseco is unique because they forge all of their own pistons in-house, and produce all of their own forge tooling in the U.S.A. This allows Wiseco to control all aspects of their manufacturing process from raw bar to skirt coating on the finished parts. Extreme racing conditions demand the strength and toughness that only forged pistons can offer. Compared to cast pistons, forgings are tougher and more durable, and will stand up to the abuse that high performance motorsport applications require. Most castings are brittle, have no grain structure and tend to fail catastrophically when the material yield strength is exceeded. Forgings have condensed grain that is aligned to the features of the part, which produces higher mechanical properties, and resistance to impact and fatigue. Each forging is designed to optimize the strength-to-weight ratio, and maximize performance. Wiseco Pro-Lite motorcycle pistons are forged using the highest quality materials available resulting in a piston that provides excellent performance and durability. The Wiseco Pro-Lite piston features a race-ready dome finish with smooth edges for improved combustion flow. The rings, wrist pin, and circlips are manufactured by Wiseco under their strict quality standards to make sure every piston kit fits correctly, ensuring top performance is achieved. Bore size: 52 mm (Standard). Much stronger than stock. Tight tolerances for quiet running. More hours with peak performance between piston changes. All Pro-Lite pistons include rings, wrist pin and circlips.

Michelin has developed the StarCross MH3 motorcycle tire for serious riders and weekend warriors looking to get excellent traction on intermediate to hard terrain. The Michelin StarCross MH3 tire features massive knobs to resist chunking. The reshaped side knobs on the StarCross MH3 tire provides improved grip when cornering. The innovative mirror image tread pattern is reversible on the StarCross MH3 and includes a tread-wear indicator which tells the rider when it is time to reverse the tire resulting in better traction and longer tire life. The super stiff sidewalls on the StarCross MH3 help absorb the high-impact shock incurred when landing jumps. Note: The Michelin StarCross MH3 tire is sold individually.

starcross combo
February 1, 2011
"these are the only tires i use for my bikes. i pay the extra and it is so worth it. i have ridden on less expensive tires, and since they wear faster, the cost to replace them, i believe, matches the purchase of one really good set of starcrosses. i don't change my own tires, so that is why the "ease of installation" is graded lower."

"i recently bought the entire combo for my son. it is true to size. as an added bonus ($40), they put his name and number on the back. they are heat applied graphics. some may not like that look, but it certainly doesn't bother my son! he likes the entire riding gear."
 
The creation of the SST pipe was no accident. RD invested countless hours to find a way to extend mid-range pull and over-rev. With the SST, the powerband becomes stronger throughout the mid-range with phenomenal peak horsepower thus making it a pipe that is ideal for a broad range of riding. The benefits brought together by the SST makes this pipe one of the most impressive bolt-on 2-stoke modifications that money can buy. Makes for crisp response at the crack of the throttle. Revamp your power band with impressive top-end extension. Quality constructed for maximum durability. FMF ensures an accurate fit every time with their Tru-Flo stamping in the building of the SST pipe. Chrome-plated finish over carbon steel for maximum durability and aesthetics. Supplied O-rings ensure a flawless fit. Match the FMF SST pipe with the FMF Powercore 2 Silencer to get the best performance from your 2-stroke. Note: May require use of high octane fuel. Note: Pipe may include factory indentations for proper installation clearance.

"just bought it and installed it. it is an easy install, about 20 min for the pipe and shorty. it increases the power of the bike (2002 yz85). it flies! definiately worth the money, if you are looking for an increase on your 2-stroke."

"most of what you will read is about the protection of these guards. they will indeed take a shot or twelve... but it is not only from front impacts but side as well. now, saying that, they are buggers to install. some fabrication on radiators and/or shrouds are probably necessary. even take a look at some close up pics before you install because the directions can be confusing. but, will definitely feel more confident plowing through brush and roosts to get to where you are going fast."

"installation is not too bad. banging the old ones out can be a pain without the correct tools. but, if you improvise safely, it's a breeze. as far as durability is concerned, i can't accurately say, since i just installed them 2 weeks ago. but the performance is great."

I currently wear the Thor Impact rig. It tends to get very hot underneath. Does this have better ventilation?
