Dual Sport is a term for the combination of a street and offroad motorcycle. A Dual Sport motorcycle offers riders the best of both worlds of exploring single track trails, dirt and fire roads while still being street legal to run on asphalt roads.

A street legal dirt bike allows you to enter new worlds of adventure, freedom and fun whether it be a weekend exploring your local back roads and mountains or participating in an organized Dual Sport event. Dual Sport events are noncompetitive trail rides through scenic areas of our national forests and deserts that provide the rider an opportunity to see what most people will never see.

Do motocross racers have assigned numbers?

yes they do.

These are the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) 2012 national numbers for pro-licensed riders competing in Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, and the Lucas Oil AMA Pro MX Championship for the 2012 season.

What is the better quad Honda 450R or Yamaha YFZ450?

That is something you will need to research on your own. The horsepower ratings are Honda 450R 42 hp and the YFZ 450 39 hp. But you are as aware as I am that hp ratings aren't the whole story, especially in the dirt. yamaha450-i don't care what people say a yfz450 is faster than a trx450...acceleration and top speed...a yfz is lighter (approx 100pounds) but a trx is said to last longer...honda is know for quality...but my yfz has been fine except for the water seal breaking...so as long as you service it properly I would go yfz

What type of oil does a 1998 2 ltr hyunday coupe need?

I'm going to guess you meant Hyundai.

If you look on the core support in the engine (above the radiator, and usually around roughly where the hood latches) there should be a sticker with the manufacturer recommended oil.

The answer is non-specific because there are other factors including what oil historically has been used, and the operating temperature of the car. W30, 5W30, or 10W30 are the likely suspects. In cold climates you would use W30 or 5W30 (never ever goes over 100 degrees), in hot climates (it COULD go over 100 degrees but won't go below 40 degrees) you would use 10W30.

If you use 10W30 in a very cold climate you could have hard starting and poor economy. If you use thin oil in a hot climate it can start to cook and lose viscosity (it's lubricating effect) leading to premature engine wear.

What company manufactured the first dirt bikes?

What year did evil kenivel invent freestyle motocross?

Evel made his first jump in 1965. Evel was 27, and had became co-owner of a motorcycle shop in Moses Lake, Wash. To attract customers, he announced he would jump his motorcycle 40 feet over parked cars and a box of rattlesnakes and continue on past a mountain lion tethered at the other end. Before 1,000 people, he did the stunt as promised but failed to fly far enough; his bike came down on the rattlesnakes. The audience was in awe. “Right then,” he said, “I knew I could draw a big crowd by jumping over weird stuff.”

What is the difference between supercross and motocross?

Supercross= usually races inside stadiums, unless it takes place at a speedway, like at the Daytona supercross. Supercross utilizes a single race format, meaning one final moto. To get to this final moto, the riders must qualify through a series of heat races. Supercross is fast, tight and technical. They have big jumps and rythem sections. Supercross usually races on Saturday nights...

Motocross= Motocross races are held on tracks that are permanent, meaning, it isn't torn down after every race, like a supercross track is. The track is longer, wider, and most of them have natural terrain. A lot of outdoor tracks have hills and tricky sections, like sand or off camber corners. They have some big jumps. Motocross uses a 2 moto format. Like supercross, a rider must qualify through a series of heat races.

Like I said before the motocross series uses a 2 moto format. The winner is determined with the best overall score.

Motocross races are usually held on Sunday afternoons....

What does hot lap mean in dirt track racing?

Hot lap is a term used for a test drive. It's where they let drivers take the car on the track and see how the car and the track handle before a race. It is often only a few laps and less cars on the track at a time then during a normal race. Cars are not required to do hot laps but, it is a good idea since track conditions change all the time. By doing a test drive or "Hot Laps" before a race it allows drivers to see how the car will handle in a safer way then just making them race the car. This way they can make changes to the car before the race begins. Hot laps allows driver and crews to make the race safer and car go faster.
