Baja 500

ssurfer · 03-31-2009, 09:17 AM

Hey,

I'm new here. I'll be racing the Baja 500 in June as part of a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club (http://www.bajabound.ca). I'm not exactly aiming at a competetive time, I just want to finish the race. I ride a KTM 525 EXC.Just wondering if anyone here has any Baja experience?
Also, I'm looking for some help on setting up the bike properly. I've no experience with valve adjustments, so if anyone knows, please let me know!
I've never been there, but I have done some desert riding in MOAB(Utah), and I figure both will have me eating dust equally.

We'll see how it goes...
