After finishing the obligatory purchasing session, it's time to practice riding motocross. It is always much better to search a motocross club in close by locality to join. At the time of practice session, learning amp, practicing the basic of motocross is pretty much vital. A rider can learn all of the tricks to take on all those hard scenarios once the rider is a guru in basic. Hence learning the essentials of motocross is extraordinarily necessary. As the fondness for this kind of sport increased and its visibility became more significant, fans of the motocross also started to spot the clothing of the people that took part in the motocross racing.

Many towns and towns, across America, don't have the space for an outside motocross track, yet, that does not necessarily imply that large town or huge city residents don't have an affection for the game. Supercross motorbike racing, though it's not the analogous to motocross racing, is an adaptation of the game. It just means it was tricky for most to view a live event, that was till the rise in supercross motorbike racing. It was made principally partly on account of the truth that not all racing fans had access to their fave cross country racing sport. As you go into the corner begin to push the rider toward the outside ( do not make contact ).

As you get into the peak slow down about to a stop, this forces the other rider to test up and lose all their momentum in the turn. After you attain that square up the turn and motor out of it. This system becomes filthy if you run into the other rider as you make the pass.

It was a season of development and patience for the AMSOIL/EBR team in 2011.  Rider Geoff May started the AMA American Superbike class on top of an underpowered 1125 as he waited for the mAmsoil Motorcycle Productsid-season unveiling of the EBR 1190RS.

The patience paid off for May as he ended the 2011 campaign with his best finish atop the new ride.  A sixth (and 11th on Saturday) at New Jersey Motorsports Park was a testament to the bikes capabilities and the teams commitment to finding a winning combination.

“We had a lot of work to do this year,” said May. “It’s not easy trying to get a new bike approved by the AMA in midseason, but we kept pushing and a full off season of testing is only going to make this program better in 2012.”

May finished tied for ninth in the American Superbike class with Steve Rapp at 139 points.  Also riding an EBR 1190RS at the final round was privateer Taylor Knapp, who finished 12th and 7th.

AMSOIL 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is the result of extensive research and is specially formulated to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including the high temperatures of air-cooled engines such as Harley-Davidson® V-Twins, wet-clutch lubrication, extreme-pressure regions of gears and chains and rust common to short trips and storage.

AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil one of the leading Amsoil Motorcycle Products, and is multi-functional and fulfills the requirements of both domestic and foreign motorcycles. It outperforms other conventional and synthetic motorcycle oils. AMSOIL, the leader in synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, The First in Synthetics,® to do the best job protecting your motorcycle.

Reduces Friction, Heat and Wear
In high heat conditions, engine protection is not sacrificed with AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oil. It has exceptional high-temperature film strength and contains a heavy treatment of anti-wear additives to reduce wear regardless of operating conditions. AMSOIL 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is thermally (heat) stable and contains maximum levels of oxidation inhibitor additives.

Delivers Superior Rust Protection
Motorcycles are prone to rust from storage, humidity and short drives. Rust can cause major damage such as roller bearing failure, uncontrolled wear, compression loss and blow-by.

Provides Excellent Wet Clutch Performance
AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic Motorcycle Oil contains no friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and positive clutch engagement. It controls heat and helps prevent slippage and glazing, while its high TBN helps to improve clutch life by resisting the acids that can degrade clutch material.

Not recommended where an API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil is required.

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 Motorcycle Oil is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils; however, mixing oils may shorten the oil life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.

Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL motorcycle oil.

SERVICE LIFE
Recommended for use up to twice the motorcycle manufacturer change interval (miles/hours) or one year, whichever comes first, in engines, transmissions and primary chaincases. For Big Twin Harley-Davidson transmissions only, follow the Harley-Davidson recommended drain interval for synthetic oil of up to 20,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. When using an engine filter other than AMSOIL Ea, change the filter at standard intervals.

EBR 1190 Ready To Race in Ohio

July 07, 2011

A pipe dream is about to become a reality this weekend in Ohio.  The AMSOIL sponsored Erik Buell Racing (EBR) 1190 RS has been in production for the past several months, with more than 30 bikes already in the hands of customers.  At the AMA Pro Road Racing event held in Lexington, Ohio this weekend, the EBR 1190 will race for the first time.

The new bike will be replace the Buell 1125 that top rider Geoff May has been riding so far this season in the American Superbike class.  The new bike will bring more horsepower, better aerodynamics and smoother handling to the Mid-Ohio Raceway.  For company founder Erik Buell, it’s the next step in Eric Buell Racingrebuilding a brand.

Eric Buell Racing

AMSOIL Racing: Erik, we know you’re excited.  How is Geoff doing?

Erik Buell:  Extremely excited, but cautious. We know we are just getting started racing the EBR 1190RS, but we all know what a huge amount of effort it took to get here. The whole EBR team, including suppliers and sponsors like AMSOIL, has been working so hard to get us to this point that it will be a very rewarding moment to see all their efforts on track at last.

AR: So you guys got approved by the AMA.  Not an easy process, right?

EB: This was a complex process, unlike in the past. We had to prove we had produced a certain number of fully street legal 1190RS models that met all EPA/DOT regulations. No special allowances for modifications, or using legality in some other country as a means to qualify. Also we had to supply a complete set of critical parts, all detailed drawings for the parts with tolerances, as well as parts manuals, owner’s manuals, etc. Everything to make sure they can validate that we are racing the street bike with only allowable modifications, nothing custom just for our team.

AR: The bike has a little more get-up-and-go over the 1125?

EB: The bikes will have a bit more than the 1125RR race bikes had,  but they have not been refined or tweaked yet. Basically stock motors, with a base gasket removed to increase compression, and a race muffler and race ECM. So about 180 RWHP.

AR: Is there anything also about the bike we can add?

EB: The bikes started as stock 1190RS models that the race department received about two weeks ago.  And the 1190RS is completely new from front to rear from the old 1125. The radically different bodywork is the visual cue, but from front axle to rear, it is a new bike. So the team has a lot to learn, but are very excited about the potential.

AR: Good luck this weekend.

EB:  Thank you and many thanks to everyone at AMSOIL for their help in getting this bike on the race track.

Fowler Wins Rock Run GNCC

Get a free Amsoil catalog!

Patton, PA (May 28, 2011) – Walker Fowler scored a rare feat at the Rock Run GNCC, round seven of the 2011 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country series in Patton, Pennsylvania. The Ballance Racing Yamaha rider is one of only a few XC2 Am Pro riders to score the overall victory at a GNCC against the XC1-class Pros.

Chris Borich was the first to cross the finish line in the inaugural running of the Pennsylvania race and the Rockstar Makita Suzuki rider finished first the XC1 division, but Fowler claimed the overall victory based on adjusted time. Although he started from the second wave with the rest of the XC2 class, Fowler completed the fast and rocky four-lap race just over 20 seconds faster than Borich, giving Fowler the overall win.

"This is more than awesome, I don’t even know how to feel right now," said Fowler. "Dustin Canipe was ahead of me after the start and he set a real good pace and we actually caught a lot of the Pros on the first lap. Canipe made a little bobble at the end of the first lap and I got around him and then I just put the hammer down."

Courtesy Shaun MooreOnce Fowler latched on to the front-runners, he needed only to stay close the leaders to have a chance at the overall.

"There was a freight train of Pros up there and nobody was able to pass and I guess the pace up there wasn’t as fast as the guys in the back wanted to go and I just got up to them and paced off of them and made it happen."

Borich extended his lead in the XC1 division with his class win, which came after a last lap battle with round-six winner Brian Wolf. Borich moved into the physical lead in the race at the midway point and held off Wolf and Ballance Racing Yamaha’s Taylor Kiser to get to the checkers first.

"It was a pretty good battle behind me, Wolf got into second and we started rolling pretty good together," said Borich. "It’s always good to add to a points lead and I was happy to accomplish that today."

"Hat’s off to Walker, he rode well and deserved to win," added Borich. "The way that track was it was easier to catch up than to pull away."

Courtesy Shan MooreWolf wound up with the runner-up position in the XC1 division, which reinforced his win at the Indy 100, while Kiser rounded out the podium.

"I didn’t think there would be much passing going on today, but there was more than I thought there would be," said Wolf. "We got a bad start but worked up to second and then going into the white flag Borich was going to let me by in that field and I thought, ‘no way, it’s your turn to lead.’ I was close and then we hit a dust section and I had to take my goggles off. I had nothing for him after that."

Kiser’s podium was his third of the year, and it solidifies his third-place status in the series points.

"I got a pit board on the first lap saying Walker was coming and I thought, ‘oh, man, here we go.’ But the kid rode good and really happy for him," said Kiser. "We got off to a better start than we have been and the bike was working really good, we finally got it figured out, and we’ve finally got things going in the right direction."

Courtesy Shan MooreAdam McGill finished fourth after getting off to a poor start, while his Foremost Insurance/Warnert Racing Can-Am teammate was right behind in fifth.

Johnny Gallagher matched his best finish of the year, putting his Yamaha into sixth, one spot better than JET Suspension Honda Donnie Ockerman.

GT Thunder rider Kevin Yoho was eighth, ahead of Yamaha-mounted Jeffrey Pickens.

ATV MX racer Derek Swartfager (Hon) turned a rare GNCC appearance into a solid 10th place finish.

Finally, Bryan Cook $250 Motosport.com Holeshot Award by beating the rest of the XC1 division to the first turn and held the FRE Racing KTM rider held the lead for a full lap, but ultimately dropped out of the race on the final lap and was credited with 11th.

With the overall win, Fowler also added to his string of XC2 victories, which now stands at six in a row. Gabe Phillips has been the most consistent of the rest of the XC2 division and the Greg’s ATV & Cycle Yamaha added another runner-up finish at the Rock Run, extending his lead over third place in the class standings by 23 points. Phillips was not happy with his finish, however.

Courtesy Shan Moore"I got a lot of work to do and I’ll be ready for Snowshoe," said Phillips. "I was way back at the start, and I tried to run as hard as I could and pick people off as fast as I could."

Matt Hanna returned to the series after taking time to start a family and put his Yamaha on the podium in third.

Honda rider Nathan Thomas scored his best finish of the year with a fourth, beating out $100 Motosport.com Holeshot Award winner Patrick McGuire, who was fifth in a Greg’s ATV & Cycle Yamaha.

Suzuki rider Scottie Rich finished sixth, topping a trio of Honda riders, Eric Hoyland, Dustin Canipe and Parker Jones, while Matt Pierce rounded out the top 10 on a Yamaha.

Braden Henthorn was the top finishing "non-Pro" rider, winning the College A (16-21) class with a 17thoverall finish on a Honda.

In the A.M. race, Dave Simmons (Yam) won the $100 GT Thunder Amateur Overall and topped the Masters (50+) class as well.

Traci Cecco (Yam), Kristen Atwell (Yam) and Angel Atwell (Hon) finished first, second and third, respectively in the Women’s class and also filled second through fourth in the overall standings.

Bryan Buckhannon (CAN) got his third win of the year in the 4×4 Open division, beating out Daryl Rath (POL) and Richard Cecco (CAN). In the meantime, Clifford Beasley topped the U2 class, beating out fellow Can-Am racer Robert Smith and Kawasaki rider Robert O’Brick.

In the Youth race, Hunter Hart (Cob) added another overall win to his pedigree and topped the 90 Open (8-11) class in the process. Zachary Jones was second overall and first in the 90 Open (12-15) class, while Charlie Welch was third overall and second in the 90 Open (12-15) class.

The Girls (8-15) class was won by Alyssa Oplinger on a Yamaha, with Kira Campbell (APX) second and Gabriella Espinosa (Hon) third.

The 2011 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country series heads to Snowshoe, West Virginia for the MotoSport.com Snowshoe GNCC on June 25 & 26. ATV racing will take place on Saturday, followed by bike racing on Sunday.
