I'm not sure. I'll check once I get home though.Steve St.Laurent said:What tire pressures are you running?
I hate it when the mud is rutted like that. Thats the kind of mud you keep sinking into after you get stuck and then when somone tries to help you out they get stuck too. Ironically all this talk about riding in mud makes me want to. :laugh:1994WR250Chad said:a half a seconded later I was half way through the "dried" Mud Zone... and 0 spead.... rear tire in the air (ENDO).... front tire submerged up to and over the brakes. Then Bamm... My rear tire slams down and sumbmerged its self into the freshly rutted mud.

I wouldn't put it anywhere that your legs would need to grip.bdh825 said:Put cooking spray, wd40 or any kind of loosener on the whole bike. I agree it will definatly make the dirt and mud fall off easier which also makes it easier to clean. It puts a nice shine on the bike too.
When the bike does decide to head off course, trying to muscle it back in slippery conditions is often a losing battle and will result in having to pick it back up after the front end washes out.tnrider said:how do you handle the slick mud - like the tennessee orange clay. that stuff is like ice when it gets wet. another is my home track that is mostly good black topsoil - when this stuff is wet and recently groomed, you can't hold a line with the bike - it just seems to go where it wants. any suggestions how to deal with these two situations - other than take the day off to work on the bikes...
