Fantastic Dan did you meet William Burgess at the meeting ?💯
@@Colin-ci5ll thank you! Is he a Northern Ireland guy on Japs? If so I did 😀 if not then no I don’t think so 😀
@@dan_ridge Thank you for the reply he comes from Northern Ireland just down the road from me. I think he was riding a blue 500cc Maico :)
@@Colin-ci5ll I’m not sure if I did meet him in person but I reckon we have a connection 😀 all there together doing what we love 🙏🤟❤️
@@dan_ridge Hi Dan Ex Moto crosser my self and Short Circuit Racer but wife will not allow me any more motorbikes. :)
@@Colin-ci5ll not to be argued with and probably less painful 😬😂😀
Love the sound of the old school bikes
what are you riding DR??
Maico 490
@@dan_ridge apologies i meant CR.. nice on the big maico
Great Dan nice lines picking up the burms on the corners Twin Shock heaven.
@@Colin-ci5ll thanks 🙏
@@Colin-ci5ll thanks 🙏
@@dan_ridge I had a single cylinder 500cc air cooled Kawasaki which i loved. It's a case of Never Give Up.💪

Great Ride, Lov iT you Gave it your All 🙂💪
@@bazzillbrush8607 thank you 🙏👍🙏
Very good
Dumbass of the crowd
Looks like you were having some handling issues...? Beautiful area for a race...Wow.
@@dennyliegerot4021 stunning ! When I got home and washed the bike I noticed the rear wheel axle was loose! 🤦🏻♂️
@@dan_ridge. Well that would completely explain what I was seeing... Initially I was thinking something in the suspension had failed but I was seeing more side to side movement sort of like a flat rear. Hopefully there wasn't any damage...and it's good to know it wasn't all in my head. ...on one of your other videos I noticed a couple things that would help improve your cornering speed but after reading my comment it made me sound like a "know it all" so I deleted it...lol. Enjoying your videos, thanks for posting.
@@dennyliegerot4021 i’m all constructive criticism! Fire away :-)
As a big-bore owner and rider there's nothing more frustrating than not being able to use the power on tap because of super slick conditions...this course would have been so much without the rain... good job keeping the shiny side up!
@@dennyliegerot4021 yes! I hear that. Thank you ☺️
I live within "earshot" of Farleigh - I can always tell when there's a race meet and can usually tell the state of the track and how spread out the riders are just by listening
Well done mate 🏁🏁
@@matthillier27 thanks dude 🙏
Grass track lol.
@@wheelieking3976 🤩
Fitness spoke volumes there, fantastic.
A bit too adventurous on the attempted pass especially considering how much the deficit had been reduced from the @9.03 (last lap flag)"Ok" statement of intent. However, hindsight is always 20/20. No bar pad?!!
@@bananabrooks3836 agreed 🤦🏻♂️
Great Ride That looked lethal
@@Terry-Tibbs Thanks Terry 😀
That looked pretty tricky. Well ridden though.
@@marksmith1676 I was dry then poured down as we were waiting on the line. It was pretty slippy! 😬😀 Thank you Mark 🙏
@@dan_ridge I was coming to watch Sunday but it was absolutely hammering down at home in the morning. Gutted I missed it but it seems like everyone had a good weekend and the track took the rain well.
@@marksmith1676 ahaha yes! Must have been same time as I was sat on the line with rain running down my back 😂
Well done
@@kerrydunn7760 Thanks Kerry 🙏🙏
Enjoyed that, thanks. The track used to run the other way and you rode through the river after the start. It also had some much longer, up hill straights right up to the tree line. You ciuld really get tapped out on these. Close on thirty years ago, though.
I was chatting with a guy there about how it would be cool use some of that terrain. At the time it was very hot and miss weather wise so maybe the track team erred on the side of caution. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best.
The 1981 was a gem the 1982 and 83 were complete shit !
definitely put a #4 slide sounds so lazy in middle really weak 490 for sure till you change it? Pilot jet main jet sound decent for now though?
Well done mate you could of gone to the paddock but you got back on your bike and raced well done 💪
My guess is that dual shocks allowed dual big riders. Easier to spring and set to. Not the lovely young ladies riding today.
Olhin rear shocks on that bike are sick! I know those work.
Thanks for sharing Dan , I wish my 73 husky 450, would start as easy as Maico
I feel your pain Took a lot of fettling to get it start like this 🙏
Awesome bike❤
Because you guy,s have to change slide cut away on pwk to #3 or #5? The #7 is way too lean lol
This is running #6 slide 👍
@@dan_ridge yea #5 would be way better for mid sounds alittle lean? but your pilot jet & main jet sound good main jet sounds thick enough
Oooh yeah! She barks 😍
Put that same carb on my 89 yz490, all the jets in the world could make it work right. Back to the 40 mikuni, much better..
Good bike the yz 490.Had one road regd.
Like Kevin said. That sounds bloody awesome👍. Reminds me of a Bultaco Frontera
I've eaten freshly poured Captain Crunch with cold milk and it wasn't that crispy going down the pipe as Your 83 twin shock conversion is on the pipe!! 👍
This still makes me smile. Best comment winner 🏅 🤩
That sure looks like an ‘81 490.
‘83 converted to Twinshock 👍
@@dan_ridge back in ‘83 I raced in the Open Expert class and remember a bunch of guys who where not happy about breaking the shock on their ‘83 but don’t remember a conversion to return the bike to the much better ‘81 twin shock. Is this a modern adaptation or is it one that was the “in-the-know” fix back in ‘83?
@@wilbourne2010 This is a modern conversion by a UK company called Racebase 👍
The trick is to stuff the 490 motor in the better handling 79' frame.
@@dan_ridge What’s involved in converting into a twin shock?
Si sente la cura PWK 38. Complimenti.
Death machine! I want it! 😊
Sounds lovely
I thought the 83 490 was the single shock alpha one, sure it was in UK. Steve Dixon now team yamaha manager was my best buddy growing up, he loved maico s back then, he ported and tuned that beast to the max, it was so fast and sounded so crisp. He d wheely it with me on the back, I d be literally hanging on for dear life. People at amca meetings uk would watch Steve completely split his engine and get it back together for his next race, what a mechanic he was. So glad I had ten years competive amca racing was the best days of my life, even now in my mid fifties I still sometimes dream I'm racing what a sport ❤
That paints a wonderful picture ✨ The 1983 was a monoshock but many were converted to Twinshock for the current thriving Twinshock racing scene. Send Steve round to mine with his toolbox 🤩 All the best 👍👍
I had a go on one that was single shock but the swing arm had the eye holes for twin shock WP front and I can't remember if it only had 4 gears it had so much compression it was difficult to kick even with the decompression lever had to lean it on something because I couldn't touch the floor for a 9 half stone 15 year old it was terrifying but memorable sprocket size of a dinner plate
@@charliecharliecharliecharl8554 incredible! Wonderful memories And lived to tell the tale 🤩
What oil/fuel ratio?
40:1 Maxima 927, forecourt fuel (super unleaded) and squish set for that fuel
@dan_ridge what's octane of super unleaded
@@techs1smh13 98 or 99 👍
@@techs1smh13 98 or 99 depending on the garage
Where did you get the carb and spear jets from ? and price ? would like to do this with my mx , thank you Dan , keep up the vlogs
The bike came with the Keihin copy carb on it and genuine jets/slide/needle. It's out of stock at Racebase now but plenty available on ebay for not much money! www.racebase.co.uk/product/copy-keihin-carburettor-pwk-38mm-s66-air-striker-supplied-with-genuine-keihin-jets-slide-and-needle/173 Just make sure you use genuine jets/needles. Somewhere like TM Racing sell genuine Keihin jets tmukonline.com/product/keihin-main-jets 👍
I've never seen riders eat this many rocks. It's brutal.
Absolutely!! The poor Maico looks likes it been a war!! I’ve got bruises in places I shouldn’t ! 😂
@@dan_ridge What was the change to the Maico that improved the handling?
@@wideopen125 dropped the forks in the yolks as far as they’d go 👍👍
Nice footage! Anyone was riding CZ 514?
I feel your frustration. I did the vmx on my mega 2 490 and had clutch issues and electrical over the 2 days
Still so cool!
Thanks for taking me along for the ride Dan :) Really good, never mind the off!
Ah! Thanks for riding with me!
Aww, Dan. I can't believe that off happened 😪 slippery track, that's for sure. Fantastic, well done 👏 🙌 Hope those ribs are ok 🙏 xx
@@annemariecotterrell5331 ahh! Thanks for watching 😃 bit sore again now but that’s how it goes 🫣… better luck next time hey 🤩❤️
Did you get frown upon bump starting against the traffic flow?
UK ?
Yessir, South West England
:) :)
:) :) :) x
It's hard for the pit crew to know how to empathise when their rider is still fresh from dissapointment. Most times a cup of tea and a kiss will restore some perspective. We all know you would've beat that H***a!
Aha well said :)
What was up ?
Main jet blocked, I was convinced was electrical at the time, but took carb off and main jet was blocked and pilot had a tiny bit in it too :/ These have that sprung bar thing to hold the filter in place and although cleaned and well oiled, I think it had slipped down exposing te carb to the dust!
carb issues?
Electrical I think. New bits arriving Thursday and will clean the carb too but electrical to me 😩
