1240LS23Q0114 Attachment 2 - Motorcycle2 Specifications Manti LaSal NF.docx

UNIT 0410 – Motorcycle (2) Fleet Addition Request Specifications NEED: To facilitate timber sale activities in designated roadless areas (IRA) across complex terrain on the Manti-La Sal National Forest. This terrain is nearly all above 9,000ft in elevation, has no developed roads or trails, and contains slopes up to and sometimes greater than 50%. Riders could be: advanced but short, or amateur and developing skill sets, or advanced but older. These types of riders will use this machine to traverse, climb and maneuver steep side hills containing logging slash/debris and often without any developed trail. Specifications will have ergonomics and features that increase rider capability and safety while operating off developed roads/trails or on heavy use skid (logging equipment) trails. It is the combination of machine characteristics rather than the individual specifications, that aids in facilitating proper ratios between power delivery, rider capability, and rider body type. For proper performance (leading to a safer ride) the combination of specifications such as power, technology, suspension, and ergonomics must be carefully adhered to.

Adherence Explanations A Full-sized bike that has a lower seat height (35.8” max) will give riders that are short, older, or less experienced greater control while maintaining the greater more controllable power delivery necessary for traversing technical terrain.

A 2 stroke motor will provide time proven reliability and lower maintenance costs while Electronic oil injection will provide simplicity in fuel control and insure that “wrong fuel” issues do not happen.

The Exhaust power valve adjustor (thumb leaver) and Power delivery map switch (located on handlebar) give the rider increased control of power delivery and allow the rider a better (and safer) way to control how much “go” makes it to the tire. This makes for a much more controlled and safe ride in technical terrain.

Full sized tires (Front rim - 21” and Rear rim - 18”) give the rider vastly more control and stability vs smaller counterparts and when combine with Soft enduro tires allows the rider to travers a wide range of terrain and obstacles.

Like any job specific equipment, it is the combinations of characteristics rather than an individual specification that make the most difference. Further, these features together aid a trained rider in maintaining the high, smooth, and immediate power delivery necessary to travers technical terrain with multiple obstacles in a safer and more reliable ride.
