What sort of things are you looking for....


With the weak dollar ebay.com can be good but check the postage the postage price and make sure whatever you buy is posted as a gift, to avoid custom handling charge...if not the bargain you thought you had is no a longer a bargain

You could try www.mxbits.com

He stocks an awful lot of stuff, and he can do next day delivery on any genuine Honda spares too. Most things are listed on his site so you can shop online, but he also has a fair bit of stuff that's not on the site - so if there's anything you need that's not on there give him a call - 01689 842125.

If you tell him Lee Smith recommended him to you he'll prob sort you out a bit of a discount too. I'm still listed as one of his Team Riders on the site despite being retired for almost 12 months!!

Can i do the same

As people have already said in this thread, There is a different technique to starting a fourstroke mx bike. It may just be your kicking it too hard, I've little expericence with the Honda 250f, however I have had my fair share of it's big brother,the 450f. I found that a slow kick with very little force, but though the full stroke of the kick start will bring an easier engine start than a furious small kick of half travel or less.

From experience this usally is the case when a mid-race mistake has been made and panic sets in, your sooo keen to get back into the race the technique goes out of the window. I myself have lost a lap attempting to re-start a hot 450f with poor technique

Good luck and remember to visit RacersEdge forum friends www.futureracingmotocross.co.uk for great price on parts and accessories.

Also, I hear Goldentyres are a great choice for MX sucess

Yes - why not! In all seriousness if you do need anything give Baz a call on the number posted above, and tell him that I said he'd sort you out with a good deal. I'm sure he'll look after you - he could make £5k a year just off your lever sales alone with all the crashes you have

Spot on technique - and hence why I fired up Rowley's Factory Les Honda when it was hot, wearing my slippers

Due to a perfected crash technique i have not bent or broke a lever in 5 years.... or bars for that matter either

Unbelieved.....

To be honest i never really had a problem starting my old betsy of a 450.....but with 17stone of idiot jumping on it did'nt have alot of choice

[Lee]

17 stone!!! You're never 17 stone!

Oh and good stuff on the levers. I broke the front brake lever on my last crash when I hurt my shoulder, but that was the first one I'd done in over 10 years
