I am just wondering what some of you keep for spare parts at the track while MX and Harescramble racing? Should I keep a spare set of tie rods and things like that or what, just would hate to be put out of a race due to a minor break! Any ideas and opinions would be appriciated. Thanks!

 

Well.....for hare scrambles.....unless you are racing a GNCC event...or a short milage/numerous lap hare scramble race...there is no need in having a whole lot of stuff because time is your biggest enemy in those races. If you traveled a long way to get to the race...or if you are involved in a points race regarding the enitre season,...then YES...be well prepared. Otherwise, I don't suggest carrying anything other than the basics....like cables and tires. Anything other than that will eat too much time away at your finish result. This is just my opinion.

MX on the other hand is different in respect to having the break between motos to repair what is broken.

Basic items for your quad that you will want to keep around......
grips
clutch cable
clutch lever
brake lever
rear and front brake pads
throttle cable
masterlink
air filter
spark plugs
gas cap vent line
battery

Other stuff..........
ALL the tools needed for anything relating to ANY hardware on your quad
extra goggles and gloves
duct tape
first aid kit
safety wire
grip glue
chain lube
cable lube
air filter oil
brake fluid
engine oil
transmission oil
and ofcourse........GAS!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

Thanks for the good input!

 

Basic things you might need to replace and have time for in between motos or class races:

Extra coolant, extra oil, brake fluid and other chemical liquids.

Extra cables are a good idea. So are spare tie-rods and ends.

Clutch/brake levers and grips.

Brake pads. Zip ties. Electrical tape. Nuts and bolts.

Plugs and chain links are a necessity. That's about everything between us, I think.
