    A cool trick for putting grips on, use 3 zip ties as sliders, the grips will slide on like nothing. Great vid!

    I love love love my flexx bars. I don’t get arm pump with them and I can run my forks a little stiffer too because of the flex I get. Only negative is the extra weight.
    For grips, I will only ever use bolt on grips for the rest of my life.

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks for sharing Brian! can you really feel the extra weight ?

    • @brianh8484

      No. I don’t feel the weight when riding. They’re just heavier

    Everyone needs to thumbs up Rado's vids so they go higher in the recommended section. There seems to be a consistent thousand or so of us who regularly watch, so if we can get him over a grand worth of thumbs up on his uploads, this channel will grow very fast.

  • @BrokenSprocket
    @BrokenSprocket 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great job.youd think the threads will come already done from factory.I get more arm pump on my yz250 on the mx track, then on my rmx450z on the trails, why do you think this is. Is it a 4 stroke vs 2 stroke thing or a mx vs trails thing?

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I get bigger arm pump on the track as well, and I always ride 4 stroke on the track. I think MX is more demanding, not a lot of time you can rest your hands, mostly in the air... on the trails I can ride for a way longer time before having serious pump, actually I get more of a hand/wrist/fingers pain than arm pump on the trails

    • @Wide000
      @Wide000 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. I do both track and trail, and motocross is more prone to give arm pump than trail riding. It's not a 2t/4t thing. I use a 450 4t for motocross and a 250 2t for trail riding, so exactly the reverse of you. But I think the stronger the bike, the worst it gets.

  • @michaelsteven1090

  • @klecooaleksander4332
    @klecooaleksander4332 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    you should use grease when using taps, and also reverse it every turn to get all the excess out. But it worked well haha

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      +klecoo Aleksander I did that, I used wd40 and went back and forth many times. Towards the end I wasn't able to do even full turn.

  • @mikeraskin7319
    @mikeraskin7319 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's crazy those handlebars should come pre threaded on the ends. It would benefit the customer and the company if they treaded every handlebar before they leave the the manufacturer

  • @utdesertghost199
    @utdesertghost199 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cool video,
    Next time your tapping though try some tapping fluid, it'll make things much easier. If you don't have any And your tapping aluminum a little kerosene or even wd40 will work ok.

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Phillip Bell yes I did wd40, just didn't show it on the video. Thanks for comment Philip.

    • @endurotruckererniedesjardins
      @endurotruckererniedesjardins 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      And shorter cranks with less effort so the tap doesn't snap in the bars. When taps break if your lucky you don't cut your hands up.

  • @jeffflick2573
    @jeffflick2573 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I guess i'm better late than never but I had a question. The handlebar clamps that you installed your Fasst Flexx bars on are they KTM's Progressive Handlebar Damping System bar clamps by Xtrig? I was wondering because i'm going to buy a set of the same handlebars & was told that they wouldn't work with the Xtrig PHDS bar clamps? I would like to know so I can order a set of Fasst Flexx handlebars for my ktm 300 xc?

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jeff, I am not sure what kind of bar clamps those are, I think they are just the stock that comes from the factory. It works ok for with the flexx bars. Hope that helps

    I basically have the same bike, but a exc 05 model. I would not need these bars on this bike since it is tuned for slow technical trail riding only, but I am really interested to know if it help to solve arm pump for motocross. I have this problem all the time on the 450.

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Louie Sanders I am not very experienced in sand riding. One thing I've been told is to be more smooth and let the bike flow..

    • @oo0Spyder0oo
      @oo0Spyder0oo 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      As with 4x4 driving, speed is your friend on sand. Keep the momentum going so your tyres float on top instead of digging in. It also helps to reduce tyre pressure a little so your tyre width increases a bit more.

    • @dirtniron
      @dirtniron  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I got 12 Enduro, because it was close to what I was running before and what I felt comfortable with. I got enduro model which is little narrower to make it in the tide spots. I talked to guys at fasst, told them what brand and bend handlebars i run on the bike and they helped me choose the best bars that would be closest to what I am used to.
