Default TO ALL DIRT BIKE OWNERS! READ THIS

I'm gonna share a tip with all the 2-stroke bike owners on this board. You know that nasty dent that seemed to -mysteriously- appear in you pipe? Well since the weather is getting cold, nows your chance to fix it. Do this:
1] remove pipe
2] fill pipe with faucet water
3] seal ends with plastic bags
4] leave it outside to freeze.

Presto, no more dents.

Hey, did you ever see any of those places that adversize dent removal? They do the exact same thing. You can also remove dents with a torch: just seal the ends and heat the dent. takes a lot of heat, but the expanding air will pop the pipe back into place once the metal softens. The hardes part about doing it this way is sealing the ends.

the water trick doesnt always work. It can crack the pipe if you dont do it right. The place in florida i send my pipe to seals one end, heats it and forces air in the pipe to expand it outward. It works better than the water trick

what level were you at? Im competing in local Arenacrosses now and want to get into Supercross in the next year to year and half. Hopefully i can step it up in Arenacross and go from there. I need to compete more. Freestyle is much easier.
