Had been messing with other bikes recently and the AJP after getting the lyons share of the last 1500 miles of off road was sitting a little. It looked like it wanted a good thrashing so I took it out for a good 50 mile technical rip the other day. Was me on the PR5, buddy Adam on a WR250 with rekluse and buddy Blake on a 165 husky. I had a fantastic day on the AJP and it reminded me how good it is. After riding the WR500 yamahammer for the last few rides it felt grossly underpowered. But the more I rode it and wrung its neck the more I loved it. The completely unserviced and untouched forks still remain my favorite forks ever, never deflecting and so freaking planted, the handling is still at the very top of my list and is so confidence inspiring. the motor once I understood it was excellent and I was bringing very good speed on it. Blake is riding real good these days and the 165 is a great mount for our riding and I managed to keep him at bay all day. Felt really good. the AJP re-impressed me. What a great little bike.
How are conditions up there Kelly? Been so hot and so many fires in Idaho and Montana I held off traveling north just yet. May just wait till Tuesday after labor day when motels are cheap and rooms plentiful.
Condition were good that day as we had a bit of rain the day before. See top pic and the nice dirt. Hardly any real dust so fun conditions to ride and chase people in. (ride together) But it been super dry here and they closed stuff. Just opened back up but can close any day. Dryest I have ever seen it and Giffords closed which they never do. Sucks. Glad to get a ride in good conditions. Ready for rain.
Thought you might have given up dirt and gone full hooligan on the Buell. Glad to see you got some rain to battle the fires and closures.
Pretty well, distributor is out about as quick as he gets them but he is not bringing them in super fast. 2016 showing up soon and PR5 is said to have some nice changes and some nice EFI and running updates. Customers that got them from me love them. PR4 customer has been thrashing his with zero issues. As mentioned above I'm still loving mine and not riding it for a bit and then riding it again was an eye opener. Great little bike for technical riding. Handling and suspension is some of the best I have used. Should be a lot of media coverage / tests shortly in the mags.
EFI changes. Hear they run real good/hard. That said I added the Doma and a few performance tricks and mine runs great as well. Very happy with the bike. Shifting is slightly notchy but other than that I have little to complain about. Bike is very confidence inspiring and is not very willing to let you crash it. Nimble, stable and planted.
We have a dealer in CO now need to call and see if he has a pr5 i can check out. Had a pr4 a few months ago and was waiting on a 5
Got another nice ride in yesterday. Just a quick 27 miles at a place very close to my house. Was playing with the suspension some for the fun of it. Love the adjustability, super soft and plush to stiffer and race like. Works great. Lots of work goes into this one way trail system. And they just added a single track only section. More plans to build more. Fun few hours on a very fun bike.
nice. I like the signs saying moto only-no quads! even cooler how its open for moto, mtb & hikers. happy communal trails
Well kinda. We have lots of that here and the Moto guys do all the trail building and maintenance only to have the hikers and MTB guys try to get us motorized guys kicked out. They have thousands of miles of trail we cant touch and use our little tiny trail system and bitch about motorized.
