COVER PHOTO: Motorcycle Racing Action

Hello Race Fans!Well it’s here, you know what I’m talking about. Yeah the whole SHABANG, the holidays, winter, the conclusion of the racing season in D-6. Time to get the winter coats and the sleds out, it was bound to get here sooner or later. But hey everybody it’s been a great racing season, and there’s still a few weeks of racing left this year.

There’s a few rounds of the D-6 Hare Scramble Series and there is still plenty of MX action to be found across the region. Make sure you check out the final round of the D-6 Championship Points Series at the ATCO MX Park on Saturday, November the 15th. Check their ad in MRA for special start times.

After November it’s either pack-em up for the winter or head to warmer climates, again check the pages of MRA for some great winter series schedules that are going on. And be sure to check out Total Two Wheel Trainings column on “How to stay in shape during the off season”, contact two wheel trainer Bob Schuler and he can set you up with a plan to keep the cob webs from forming over the winter months.

One last thing before you read on. Most of you know that we hit the races each and every weekend and take a ton of great racing action shots of you doing what you love to do. You’re all used to logging on Monday morning and checking out your pics at www.motorcycleracingaction.com . Unfortunately due to uncertain cir-cumstances we are experiencing some down time there. The good news is you can still view your race photos. For now log on to www.mraphotos.photoreflect.com . There may be a web address change in the near future, but one thing you can be certain of, you’ll still get the same great service from MRA that you’ve come to expect. I thank all of you for your loyalty to us and we’ll keep you posted. Until next time. Jim Bull, MRA email: [email protected]

Experience: Racing 3 years Class: 70cc ATVSponsors: Motorvation Polaris, WRH Racing, Pat & Son, Mom & Dad, Uncle Rod, Poppy

Kenton Heinbaugh from Hummelstown, Pa is our Hare Scramble Hotshot for the month of October. We caught up with Kenton out at the Foot of Mountain last month and believe me it was no easy task. This young quad racer has been winning everything in site lately. Kenton has accomplished quite a lot this year, he is the overall winner in the B/P Promotions State H.S. series in his class, he’s been winning races left and right the last several months and he is right in the hunt for the District 6 Championship. Keep your eyes on this young man, theres only a few races left and chances are he’ll be at the top of the heap when it’s all over. Watch out next month, you just might be the next MRA Hotshot. – Jim Bull MRA

6 DIRT TRACK - Wood Named asRicky Graham Rookie of the Year!Posted By Scott Rousseau

Always a Good SignThe following is a release from AMA Pro Racing: John Raun Wood has been named 2003 Ricky Graham AMA U.S. Flat Track Rookie of the Year. Wood, 23, of Dublin, Pennsylvania., scored points in six rounds of the AMA Progressive Insurance U.S. Flat Track Championship this year. He scored three top-10 finishes, all on short tracks. Wood finished the season ranked 20th in the final AMA Grand National point standings. Wood started the year off impressively with a ninth-place finish in the prestigious Daytona Beach Short Track National during Bike Week in March. He moved up another notch at the end of May when he scored an eighth at the short track event in Chillicothe, Ohio. His other top-10 result came in front of thousands of Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary participants in attendance for the Hales Corner Speedway Short Track race in August. Wood also scored national points at the short track in Haubstadt, Ind., on the half-miles at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio, and the State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Mo. “It’s cool,” said Wood, the 2001 Pro Sport 600 and 505 Hot Shoe Champion. “I didn’t even know I was in contention for the award until Saturday night’s short track at Springfield.” Wood, who goes by his middle name Raun or John Raun as his buddies call him, admitted his strong suit is short track racing. “I grew up racing on little clay short tracks,” he said. “I rarely rode half-miles as an amateur and never miles, so I’m still getting used to the bigger tracks.” Wood is backed by Scott Powersports a multi-brand dealership located in Coopersburg, Pa. His bikes are owned and built by Bob Berry. Wood becomes the 33rd recipient of the AMA U.S. Flat Track Rookie of the Year Award. Numerous AMA National Champions launched their careers after being named the top rookie including riders like Jay Springsteen, Scott Parker, Bubba Shobert, Doug Chandler, Chris Carr, Ben Bostrom and Nicky Hayden. The award is given to the rider who has earned the most points in his or her first full year of competition as a Grand National Championship license holder. Wood will be presented his award at the 29th annual AMA Pro Racing Awards Banquet to be held at the Rio Suites Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, on Saturday evening, Nov. 22.

9How To stay In shape During The Off seasonby: bob schuler – Total Two Wheel TrainingWell it has been a long hard season, now it’s time to kick back and relax. You know what I mean if you own a house and have a spouse, it’s time to get the ‘Honey Do’ list out and get cracking to all the things you blew off all season long. The last thing you wanted to do was to be up and down a ladder all day long with a can of paint in your hand and taking a chance of falling off or to wear out your throttle wrist with that paint brush in hand.

For all you young guys that are still single and having fun, you really don’t want to think the season is just about over. Some other people are happy because they’ve been riding all season with injuries and now is a great time to heal up and get to the gym to do some work to rebuild those torn up parts. This is also a good time to go out and ride moun-tain bike, go hiking and if you have a pool close by it is also a great way to rehab your inju-ries.

Another thing you want to do at this time is to sit back and rethink this past season and go over what you think worked for you and what did not work. Did you practice enough or did you over train and feel flat when the weekend came around. A lot of people go into the sea-son out of shape and it takes them the first two months to really get in good shape so they can ride to their fullest.

Did you set goals and stick to your plan or did you really have no plan at all? I have found that if you set goals and have a plan, it will keep you motivated thru all the ups and downs of the race season. You are always going to have days where everything just flows and then days that you feel nothing is going right. Lets face it, that part of sports and part of life we all have to learn to deal with, so sit back and take the time to write out your goals and try to make a plan for the upcoming season. You may reach all of them or you may come up a little short but at least you went for it and can go back and be real about it. Good luck and go for it !!

Total Two Wheel Training My name is Bob Schuler. I have been a competitive athlete all my life. Starting with Little League Baseball and continuing with team sports through Varsity Football in high school. Motocross was always a passion. With my focus set on this individual sport I turned PRO in 1984. I had a great motocross career but unfortunately after 12 years a serious injury had me sidelined. Rehabilitation introduced me to cycling. It was a little less harsh on the body and still on two wheels where I felt comfortable. It didn’t take long and I was hooked. I was involved with coaching through the then, Lehigh County Velodrome. For four years I traveled to Australia for personal training and racing. I worked with the Institute of Sport in Melbourne Australia. I now would like to share my experiences with others. I want to work with juniors to strengthen this great sport. I helped coach over thirty juniors to National Medals in Cycling and plan to continue to do so. My greatest coaching accomplishment was coaching Sarah Uhl to the 2001 Junior World Sprint Championship. So the question is, do you want a coach that has not competed in the sport, one that stands around blowing a whistle or do you want a coach who has excelled in your sport and has the same passion and competitive Spirit as you do.

Ask Sarah Uhl: Let me Sarah Uhl tell you what kind of coach Bob Schuler is. The last five years under his guidance and abiding by his word produced seven National Championships, eleven months in his spotlight highlighted the best three minutes of my life in his arms after winning the 2001 Junior World Championships. I do not wear the rainbow stripes alone, the beauty is that we won together. Bob was born with an extra sense, victory, I think he can smell it. He will be there to help you through the tough training and to share in your victories. The man behind Total Two Wheel Training is a true professional, he will guide you where you need to go, but ulti-mately winning is up to you.

I’m Bob Schuler, trainer, coach, motivator. I would like to offer the same great ser-vices to you, the motocross racer as I offer to the cycling industry. Let my track record help guide you to better conditioning and performance on and off the track. We have numerous plans available to fit most any budget and we can get you on track before you need to get on the track. Call or e-mail me for all your options.

MRA attended Foot of Mountains 1st fall hare Scramble of

2003. It had been almost a year since we were last here

and there were some noticeable changes. First

was the sign up and concession area, they’ve constructed a

new building for sign up that also doubles as a concession

stand where they offer hot eats.

Next the folks at Foot of Mountain have gone to a

computerized scoring system. They use lap tops to electron-

ically score you as you pass thru the barrels on each lap.

This helps eliminate human error and allows them to

keep more accurate lap times.

They’ve also redesigned their course at Foot of

Mountain, they still offer a challenging hare scramble

course with a combination of woods and open areas, but

they have eliminated a lot of the rocks and have made

it more rider friendly for the youth and amateur classes.

Foot of Mountain has 1 event remaining for 2003, the

date is Sunday November 16th and it’s a rider appreciation

day with special giveaways. I

recommend heading on out to

the mountain for a great day of

racing, they’re easy to find just

a few miles off the PA turnpike

exit 14 at Willow hill.

Foot of Mountain The Foot of the Mountain, a perfect description for this track. Located in Neelyton PA. this track offers every terrain imaginable. The course includes a grass track start that leads racers up and into the woods. Once in the woods, a series of drain-age and fire roads lead racers through a maze of rocks, roots, ruts, and trees. The six mile course made its way to the top of the mountain and back to the check point and allowed racers to click off 12-15 minute laps. The crew at Foot of the Mountain really did a great job cleaning out the track. It had been nearly an entire season of racing since we had visited the track. I remembered the track being a bit rocky and a little abusive. Well its still abusive as any decent harescramble track should be, but it is a little less rocky than I remember. I for one really appreciated the effort put forth by the crew at the Foot. Mike Johnson won the 4 stroke A class on his new Yamaha YZF 450. Johnson finished just under a minute ahead of 2 stroke A class winner Mark Carman. Both riders battled for the overall lead on lap one until Carman pitted to remove a dan-gling skid plate, leaving Johnson go for the overall A class win. In the B classes Matt Highlands celebrated another win on his Cannondale. Highlands has topped the 4 stroke B class several times this year and has the class points lead and title wrapped up. In the 2 stroke B class Mark Thompson (ECATV/Gibson) took the win, but not before his fair share of trouble.Thompson was left sitting on the line and was last into the woods. This slip left the door open for Nate Gogno and Joe Luzny to pull out a little lead over the charging Thompson. On lap 4 luck turned Thompsons way as Gogno was seen trackside wrenching on his machine. Luzny pitted along with the leader while Thompson zipped by for the lead. A few miles later Thompson had a rear tire go flat, but still held on for the lead. We'll be back to Foot of the Mountain a few more times this year. If you get the chance stop out its a great track. Its well worth the drive. See you at the track!

20 Pennsylvania State HarescrambleChampionshipBy Jason hughes

With the recent explosion of factory race ready ATV's, race circuits around the country are gaining popularity. Wether its cross country, mx, or flattrack racing your into there is sure to be a place to race near you. Pennsylvania is no different. The PA. State Harescramble Series for 2003 was a big hit with fans and racers. The series includes 10 rounds at 6 differ-ent tracks ranging from wide open mx style tracks like Pine Groves Flying Dutchmen to tight rocky tracks like Jack Frost in the Poconos. The PA series is run in conjunction with the District 6 H a r e s c r a m b l e series which is spread out over 30 races.

Pennsylvania has always been known for its fast woods racers. Barry Hawk started the reputation over 10 years ago by dominating over 7 years worth of GNCC ATV racing before making the switch to two wheels. Matt Smiley, started racing in PA. in the early90's and quickly became the man know one could beat for nearly 10 years. Currently Smiley is ranked #2 in the GNCC series and can be seen at PA State races a few times a year. As if Smiley and Hawk did not fill PA.'s quota for fast guys, Sunbury PA.'s Chris

Borich has proved himself to be the next big thing! Chris just pulled off his third GNCC win of 2003 and is on track to be holding the #2 plate next year. Borich competes weekly in the district 6 series and has just wrapped up the points championship in the 4 stroke Pro class in the PA. State series. Borich split the season using a Z400 for the first half of the season and his YFZ450 for the later part of the season. Both machines were decked out with parts from LRD, Hiper, Laeger and East Coast ATV. Borich edged out Marylands Harlen Foley for the championship. Harlen finished up the PA. series in second, a respectable accomplishment given the stiff competition. Harlen uses a Z400 to compete in the PA. series and races with backing from Burgard, Ray Wilt, and ATV Addiction. Harlen is also well known for his efforts as the administrator for EXriders.com a popular website for racers and ATV enthusiasts. The third spot in the war for points went to long time GNCC racer Mike Krachun. Mike who at one time in the late 90's was ranked 4th in the GNCC series campaigned a few different top notch machines built by Pro Parts Racing in New Jersey to nail down the third spot in the race for the PA. State Championship. In the two stroke A class it was Mike Lucas edging out defending PA. State Champion Rob Hertz by 2 points. Lucas is from Lykens Pennsylvania and races a Banshee in the Open A class in the GNCC series. The exciting race to watch all year was in the 2 stroke B class. Nate Gogno was running the show all year on his Laeger 250R. He proved to be the most consis-tent rider in the class with several wins and no DNF's. Mark Thompson kept Gogno honest by winning a few races himself. Thompson used his East Coast ATV/ Gibson 250R to chase down Gogno but fell just short of the champion-ship. Third place in the championship race went to Sugarnotch PA.'s Joe Luzny. Gogno was no surprise for the title, Thompson showed up and gave him a scare. Joe Luzny seems to have spent the year dialing in and learning. Luzny spent the year finishing every race in the top of the class, but without a win. With every race he's gotten faster and more

consistent. Joe is a perfect example of how consistency pays off over time. We should expect to see all three of the guys in the A class next year, they certainly earned it. The four stoke B class was also an exciting class to watch this year. Several different winners through out the year kept the points interesting. Matt Highlands ran away with the champion-ship towards the end of the season. Highlands pushed his

Cannondale into the lead and pulled away at the last few rounds, finishing well into the A classes overall. Second place went to Ralph Johnson on a 400EX,followed by Pro Parts Racings Brian Delucia also on a Honda. In the 0-230 class Greg Kiddish took top honors followed by Bryan Vonderchek and Joe Papa. This class is usually made up of and dominated by Blasters. This year however, Joe Papa deserves special recognition for hanging with the Blasters on his Honda 250EX. Way to go Joe. The Vet class has been one of the largest classes of the year. On any Sunday there can be from 10 -20 Vet class racers on the line. Chad Kirby used his Cannondale to blaze by the com-petition for the class points lead. Chad nailed down the points championship and is celebrating the birth of his new son. Congratulations to the Kirby Family. Ken Kresge took the second spot, followed by Brian Shimkanon in third. The PA. State Harescramble championship will now be heading for its third season.Its proven to be a competitive series, with races spread out conveniently for everyone to attend. This sport is growing every day, as we grow we'll also become more spread out. This is what makes the PA. State Harescramble series so important. All of the districts and state series' across the country are an important part of the success of our sport. We are the glue that holds this sport together. This is why it is important to pub-licize and promote what we all share a passion for, no mat-ter how big or small. Ride safe!

Budds Creek - Maryland State Championships By Kevin Sheckells

The 2003 Maryland State Championships were held October 11th and 12th at Budd’s Creek in Maryland. John Beasley had the track in great shape, and the weather was excellent aside from a few Saturday evening raindrops. The race format for the weekend consisted of 3 races for the amateurs and 2 motos per day for the experts and quads.

50 stock 7-8 saw some fast riders show up for the title as Tyler Murphy looked very fast in practice, until he blew his front forks, ending his title hopes. Eager to carry home the big trophy, Jacob Knable posted a 1-1-2 for the overall, and Jarek Balkovic continued to impress with 2nd overall. Brandon Bono took 3rd...

50 stock 4-6 saw Darian Robinson scoot away with a 3 moto sweep, as Ryan Baxter took 2nd overall. 4-8 oil injected had some fast KTM riders as James Jourdan checked out with a 3 moto sweep. Chase Herrington claimed 2nd overall, while District 7 points champ Dakota Harris scored 3rd overall.

Anthony Cascio of Owings Mills, MD, won the 12-15 Super Mini Championship, as Michael Groves finished 2nd overall. Brandon Seibold had a 1st moto win in 65 10-11 action, but failed to capitalize as Tyler Webber claimed victories in the final 2 motos for the overall. Andrew Benson settled for 3rd overall, Seibold was the runner-up. 65 7-9 action saw a similar setup as Michael Anderson jumped in the drivers seat. Jake Grove took 2nd and 3rd moto honors and the overall. Anderson took 2nd and Jacob Knable claimed 3rd overall.

Junior Mini 7-11 had some of the best racing of the weekend. The top 3 riders put on quite a show, and had things pretty evened out for the final moto. Garrett Toth secured the overall with his final moto victory, with Gary Radford getting 2nd and Thomas Mudgett 3rd overall.

85 14-15 saw Christopher Tyler leaving nothing on the table for a 3 moto sweep. Michael Groves finished 2nd overall. Anthony Cascio took charge of the 85 12-13 class with wins in the first two motos, and a 2nd in the third moto for the title. Daniel Holton posted a 2-2-1 for second overall. Bobby Buhr of Chesapeake VA placed 3rd. Garrett Toth racked up another championship in the 85 7-11 class with a three moto sweep. Thomas Mudgett took 2nd overall and Gary Radford of Westminster settled for 3rd overall.

125 B has seen many of our fast youth riders move up in the ranks. Todd Wilcum of Frederick MD took this years title with a 1-1-4 showing. Willy Toth took 2nd and Brian Funkhouser claimed 3rd overall respectively. Hats off to the other fast riders that just missed the podium.

William Bryant of Dillwny VA set the bar in 125 C Division I action, with his 3 moto sweep. Andrew Baker scored 2nd overall and

Curtis Baker took 3rd. 125 C Division II was won by Robert Kraft as he took a 3 moto sweep and Martin Page of Waldorf MD took 2nd overall. John Higbee claimed 3rd place honors.

Stephen Stella thought he put himself out of contention in the Collegeboy class with a 4th in moto one, as Todd Wilcum took the first moto win. Todd Backed it up in the next moto with a second, but dropped the ball in the final moto with a fifth. Stella won the overall and Wilcum finished 2nd.

Schoolboy action saw Willy Toth, Jr. pull off the sweep for the overall. Robert Kraft scored 2nd overall and John Hare of Laurel MD took 3rd.

250 B was won by Todd Wilcum with a 1-1-2 posting. Wes Gauldin of Eden, NC scored a 4-3-1 for 2nd overall in his debut of the 250. Randall Everett of Dumfries VA scored 3rd overall. 250 C action saw Neil Hood score a 1-2-3 and walk with 1st place honors. Richard Lohfield of Crofton,

MD was fast enough with two moto wins, but a seventh in the first moto hurt his chances. Tyler Coleman scored 3rd overall.

Christopher O’Hara of Timonium MD won the 25+ B class, with Mark Burkholder taking 2nd and John Roach Jr. Settling for 3rd overall. Senior B was won by Robert Werning of Street MD and Randall Wood of Apex NC grabbing 2nd overall. 3rd overall went to David Fowler of Odenton. Vet B was won by Christopher O’Hara, his second championship of the weekend. Mark Burkholder went in to the final moto tied with O’Hara, but finished 4th and had to settle for 2nd overall. Robert Clark of Rougemont NC finished 3rd.

Jim Bull said that if I covered this weekends race, and won my class, I could toot my horn. So with out any delay, Vet C was won by Kevin Sheckells. Out of retirement after 16 years, I vowed not to ever throw a leg over a bike after crawling off the very same track victim of a first turn pile up. Here we go again. Joey Kirby of Thurmont MD was impressive on his old Honda XR taking 2nd overall. Jeff Benfield of Woodbridge VA scored 3rd place.

4 stroke B was won by Randall Everett and a 3 moto sweep. Ridge Davis took 2nd over-all and Zeke Ziemann held 3rd.

The Women’s class was won by Jessye Davis, as the final moto began in a stalemate with Amber Farley. Davis prevailed and left Farley with 2nd overall Kristine Sharpe scored 3rd overall.

Expert racing over the weekend was fast as usual as many top rid-ers from our region were on hand. Kevin Crine, Andrew Tsakanikas, Stephen Stella, Matt Ranum, Jeff Grove, Billy Schlag and Nick Evenou fresh in the expert ranks were all fast. Todd Stith claimed Senior A victories and is still very fast.

Old school vs. new school saw Kevin Crine duel with Nick Evenou in 250 A on Sunday. Crine came out on top. Nick Evenou snatched 4 moto wins in 125 action, as Jeff Grove secured 4 wins in Vet A action.

Congratulations to all Amateur and expert riders who came out for another excellent Budds Creek experience, and went home champions.

A modern motocross bike comes stock with an amazing suspension. Unfortunately, most riders never get to experience it fully. You see, most bikes are set for a 145 lb. novice rider by the manufacturer. If you happen to be part of the small percentage of 145 lbs. novice riders out there with a new bike, you’re in luck. If you’re not, you’re probably not getting the most out of your bike’s suspension. At TBT, we’re here to change that.

TBT Racing has been in the suspension and engine modification business for over 13 years. Working with novice through pro riders TBT helps them get the most out of their suspension. Team Subway MX riders #54 Jason Thomas, #71 Joe Oehlhof and #76 Ted Cambell, have used TBT Racing suspension and engine setups to qualify for more Supercross mains than any other privateer team. Local expert rider Casey Clark also uses TBT Suspension upgrades on his class winning YZF’s. Now you can put that same winning technology into your racing equipment.

Our services include complete disassembly, cleaning and inspection. Then reassembled with the best Enzo fluids and highest quality parts from KYB and Showa. During reassembly careful attention is paid to ensure the correct parts are used to tailor the suspension to your custom needs. TBT also offers customer phone assistance and track side support at all amateur national events.

Choose a suspension and engine company with a track record for outstanding customer service, hours of track and dyno testing, using the highest quality parts.

wheRe to Ride !!TRAXX MOTORSPORTS PARK – MRA had an opportunity to speak with Mark Hufnagle, manager of the Traxx Motorsports Park locatedat the Jack Frost Mountain Resorts in the Pocono Mountains of PA.MRA: Mark, can you tell us what the Traxx Motorsports Park consists of?Mark: It is an off road riding area for Motorcycles and ATV’s. We have 5 tracks and 20 plus miles of hard core enduro trails. We are a feeder area where a lot of first time riders come and learn how to ride on a track and then eventually become members of the AMA and District 6 and then start racing at our local D-6 tracks. Without a facility like this, it hinders the growth of the sport. Our facility helps dealers sell ATV’s and Motorcycles and provides a safe environment for people to ride. We have EMT’s on staff just like during ski season. We water and groom the tracks daily.

MRA: Where is Traxx located?Mark: Minutes off of I-80, 81 and the PA Turnpike in the beautiful Pocono Mountains.

MRA: How long has the park been in operation?Mark: 5 Years

MRA: Do you offer riding for both ATV’s and Motorcycles?Mark: Yes

MRA: You mentioned the AMA and District 6. Do you hold any sanctioned events at Traxx?Mark: Yes, 2 rounds of the PA State Hare Scramble Series.

MRA: I had heard rumors earlier this year that Traxx was closing and I believe one of your events was cancelled. Is there any truth to this?Mark: Yes, we did cancel one of our State Quad races. The reasoning for this was because of the amount of rainfall we had this year and dirt loss. We are not sure how the rumors actually got started but we are hear to stay.

MRA: Great, then what can we look forward to in 2004 from Traxx at Jack Frost Mtn.?Mark: We are currently working on a new track design for our motocross track and we are also bringing in mushroom soil, more wood chips and dirt to create a better riding area.

MRA: What does a rider need when they come to Traxx to ride?Mark: A rider needs a helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, long pants and a long sleeved shirt as well as a Bike or ATV in a sound mechanical state.

MRA: Do you offer any type of seasonal or discounted passes?Mark: Yes, right now we have the stay and play package and yes we are running a special this year. Buy now for the 2004 season and receive an Early Bird special, go to www.jfbb.com for details and check out our ad in MRA.

MRA: Thanks for your time, are there any other details you would like to let the riders know about Traxx Motorsports Park?Mark: We sponsor Ty Wallace and Damian Plotts and we have riding schools available, Tony D Riding School. We were the first facility to offer a FMF test day where you can actually have the pipe bolted on your bike and feel the power difference that FMF Pipes provide. Around the time of the East Coast Nationals, we often get some of the top pro and amateur riders stopping in for a visit. We also have track side vending with RRP for any parts or mechanical needs.

Ephrata Agway

Among the regular maintenance procedures we perform besides the air filter the chain and the gear box oil is the swingarm and linkage bearings. This is the job most of us hate, some because of the time and others because of the complexity. The complexity issue is easily overcome, the more times you do it the easier it becomes. Time wise yes it takes between 1 and 2 hours depending on your attention to detail but nevertheless it is a vitally imnportant job. The swingarm and linkage bearings are all needle roller with the odd heim joint thrown in every now and then. These are a far cry from the bushings we used to have years ago, true they required little maintenance but todays long travel suspensions require as frictionless a movement as possible.

The enemy of linkage bearings is the pressure washer. Unfortunately the pressure washer is a neces-sary evil, who wants to race a dirty bike. Every time you stick that wand into your linkage to blow out the mud the force behind it will push water past the seals and into your bearings. Eventually this water will break down the grease and corrosion isn't far behind. I've always recommended that people service their linkage immediately after picking up the new bike. From the factory the only grease on the bearings is the small amount that the bearing manufacturer put on the bearing to prevent corrosion and sometimes this isn't even grease but a thin film of oil. Choose a good bearing grease like Silkolene RG2, it is very resistant to water and detergents and now it comes in a cool pressurized can sort of like cheez whiz which makes the job of getting the grease into the bearings a bit easier.

On most bikes you will first remove the sub frame, then rear wheel and shock. Slide the rear caliper off the swingarm and pull the hose out of the guides or unbolt the guides if they are solid. Most bikes require the removal of the rear brake pedal to allow the swing arm pivot bolt to slide out of the frame. With the pivot bolt out you can remove the bolt that holds the pull links to the frame and remove the swingarm and linkage as an assembly. Toss the whole thing on the bench and break it down to its component parts, you will usually end up with the swing arm, the rocker arm and the pull link(s). Chances are you will find that you missed some dirt while washing the bike so take the time to clean the parts up first. I like to use one of those coarse white rags like a baby diaper that you can buy in any auto parts store and some WD40. If you want to go that extra mile you can also buff the linkage parts to a high shine with some very fine steel wool. After you have them clean externally, one at a time slide out the sleeves that serve as the inner bearing races, wipe them off and put them aside. Look at the bearing(s) if they still have grease on them then take a rag and wipe out what you can then re-apply fresh grease and re-install the sleeve. One caveat, most linkage bearings today do not have any cages in them to retain the needle rollers this allows the bearing to have a greater load carrying capability but it also makes it a pain if they fall out because I guarantee when you put them back in you will be one short. The only reason to remove the needles on purpose is if they are dry. Once out you can clean the outer bearing race then coat it with grease and put the needles back in, the grease will hold them in place, then one last smear on the needles and in goes the sleeve. Repeat this process with all the other bearings and you're good to go.

Now suppose you've raced your bike for 6 months and never touched the linkage, what can we expect? Well the gloomiest picture is as follows. First the swingarm pivot bolt won't come out. You will have a nice steel drift with a pilot on the end that fits into the end of your pivot bolt, a very trusting friend to hold it and you with the biggest hammer you can find wailing away and it still won't budge. What has happened is that due to lack of lubrication the inner sleeve has become one with the bearing and started rotating on the pivot bolt this usually results in the sleeve cutting into the bolt creating a shoulder that you are trying to bash past the sleeve. Two options are now open to you, well actually three but you aint gonna like the third one. First you can try putting an impact with a socket on the bolt end of the bolt and try to get it spinning while somone else continues with the hammering. If this fails get a bloody big drill bit and drill the head off the bolt and try hammering it back through the other way, for some reason this often works. The last option is to get a hacksaw and cut through the bolt on both sides of the engine case and swing arm. This is the most tedious job in the world, I'm sure there is a corner of hell just full of bikes that require this procedure and the thought of having to do this throughout eternity should keep us all on the straight and narrow, fire and brimstone thats kidstuff in comparison. Aside from the tedium you will invariably damage something that will entail addi-tional cost.

When you finally have the swingarm and linkage off you will need to remove the old bearings. A hydraulic press will be a great time saver here but if thats not available a big vise can do the job. You will need to find a socket slightly smaller than the bearing you are trying to push out and a socket that is slightly larger internally than the bearing. Place the smaller socket against the bearing and the larger socket on the opposite side, trap them between the vise jaws (a heck of a juggling act) and tighten. The smaller socket will push the bearing out of the piece and into the larger socket.

OEM bearings are very expensive, heck the sleeves are sometimes more expensive than the bearings. Replace everything, bearings sleeves and seals. The most cost effective way to do this is to purchase swing arm and linkage bearing kits. We always use the All Balls kits as they are very high quality at a price less than half that of the stock stuff.

You've heard the saying "You can pay me now or pay me later" this absolutely applies here. Rebuilding your linkage can run around $200.00 to 250.00 with parts and labor. You can drive that price way up if you've run the bike so long that the bearing has broken apart allowing the bolt to smash the bearing seat out of round. Just how much is a swingarm these days? You don't want to have to find out.

Regular maintenance will reward you with a safe, sound race bike and save you a bunch of money that will be better spent elsewhere, it's up to you.

Getting your bearings.
