Thanks iOR. I’m getting one of those 62s units, stuff it.

Sorry thread is drying up Axel been of the chain busy, I am in Brsbane ATM and am working on a bulk purchase for Garmin CSX0s. Can’t give you a 100% go ahead at the moment but should have details within a week.

As for the 62 I have one and would probably sell it if you want a second hand one about 4 rides old as I don’t like it. Will sell for sure if I can secure these 60s

Answer in a week when my life slows some what :laugh:

Hope that helps

JCR/Honda wins the SCORE Baja 1000 and takes the 2012 1X Championship

The JCR/Honda trio of Colton Udall, David Kamo and Timmy Weigand won the 45th SCORE
Baja 1000. With a total time of 20:09:30, averaging 55.64mph. Colton Udall took the
lead on adjusted around mile 100. Around mile 150 is the OX memorial, set up just
outside of San Felipe. As Colton was passing the site he found some superhuman speed
and was able to quickly pass all competitors and move into the psychical lead. Was
he inspired by OX or was OX there giving him a push, I don’t know but it was a
reminder to everyone that OX was a passionate Baja competitor and his spirit
continues to inspire. Once Colton had taken the lead he took control of the race
extending his lead to 8 minutes when he handed the bike off to David Kamo at mile
347. Kamo rode a flawless race and handed the bike back to Colton at mile 614. The
sun was setting and it was time for the headlights to go on. Colton rode another 170
mile section before handing the bike back to Kamo. Kamo rode a transfer section
across some of the most technical water crossings on the course and then handed the
bike to Timmy Weigand for the final 300 miles. Timmy brought the bike to the finish
line in LaPaz with over an hour lead on the competition. After leading the race for
over 970 miles the JCR/Honda team celebrated an dominate victory.

With 298 starting and only 174 finishers roughly 58%, the rugged bone crushing Baja
took its toll on the competition and once again Honda proved its performance and
durability is unmatched. Racing for over 1121 miles of the harshest terrain on the
planet takes the right bike and the right support, like the incredible JCR/Honda
pits crews that work tirelessly to provide the best support on the peninsula and
allow the racers to race with complete confidence. JCR’s sponsor are also crucial to
the success of this team. With legendary brands like Chaparral Motorsports, Fly
Racing, Lucas oil, General Tire, Renthall, Pro Circuit, Dunlop, DID, IMS, Acerbis,
Noguchi, BRP, Alpinestars, Hinson, Works Connection, Motion Pro, Berkeley Honda,
Scotts Performance, VP Fuels, Dirt Digits, AME and Baja Bound Insurance, we know we
have the best support and the best parts on the best bike, every time we line up to
race.

This was hands down the best bike JCR/Honda has had to date. Prepped by Eric Siraton
the 1X Honda CRF450X was built to handle the stress of the world’s toughest race and
deliver the performance necessary to take the win! Special thanks to Bones and Mitch
at Pro Circuit for making sure we have the best handling bikes in the desert.

“I am overwhelmed by the effort my crews put together to make this race run
smoothly. JCR brings a small army of some of the most extraordinary people together
to make a race like the Baja 1000 possible. I can’t thank them enough for their
service and support. I am proud to have each one of them in the JCR family and look
forward to many more adventures together. Thank you to the racers for their
commitment to upholding this Honda legacy, celebrating 50 years of racing Baja and
our 16th Baja 1000 win in a row. I also want to thank my family for being ALL IN
with our crazy life. Viva Baja” — Johnny Campbell

Your fluid probably boiled, Boiling produces gas bubbles as within any boiling fluid. Gas is compressible so boiling brake fluid leads to a “soft” brake lever with long travel. Overheated brake fluid can (and will) boil in the calliper. Brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it readily attracts moisture from the atmosphere, and over time it get saturated with water to the point where it lowers the fluids boiling point.
You can compress a gas but you can’t compress a fluid. When you pull the brake lever you create hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic brake system which acts on pistons at the wheel end that actuates the brakes, imagine a bubble of air in the hydraulic system. Remember you can compress a gas but you can’t compress a fluid, so if there’s a bubble of air in the system then when you pull your brake lever and instead of the hydraulic pressure acting on the pistons for the brake all your effort is going to be used compressing the gas instead of working the brake.

Change your fluid and probably your pads, gear down next time to reduce you relying on your brakes alone.
Check your manual to get the correct fluid, any quality one will do you and change it every 12 months
