    If anyone gets these in Michigan we can ride at any open practice at East Lansing Kart track! Come out and play when the snow is gone!

    I was asked to ride one .. It'll be too big to ride indoors, but I'm sure we can figure something out.

    I told Brian you guys should get them to let you try it out at the indoor.

    Speaking of indoors...we need to get an indoor venue here in Central PA or mid atlantic. Long boring ass winters could be made a little more tolerable with an indoor winter league.

    I wish man...losing Allsports a couple years back just killed winters for me and everyone else in this area!

    I'm always keeping my eyes open but unfortunately most indoor places run electric karts nowadays and don't have the ventilation for gas powered karts/bikes.

    Ohvale is trying to get an electric engine that can be fitted into their bikes for this very purpose but it's proving difficult to get one that lasts more than a few minutes of ride time.

    I live outside of Philly and I have been looking and trying places to get an indoor thing going. So far only venue I’ve found is in Maryland

    I have no idea lol I tried to get enough people around me together at this local indoor kart but they wanted way to much money and to limit the riders to a number where it wouldnt be worth it. Someone mention a place in Maryland in the Facebook post. Didn’t pay attention to where it was.

    I noticed he was using the clutch on upshifts, I wonder why? What's the rebuild interval on the engines?

    Ohvale recommends the clutch on downshifts AND upshifts, particularly on the 190. If you do that then the transmissions last “forever”. If you suck at shifting and beat the hell out of the transmission, especially on the 190, then they become a weak point.

    Engine maintenance intervals are pretty simple and cheap across all models.

    Main thing is a top end every 40 hours. For a 190 a top end kit costs less than $200
