As long as he's been out I'm not surprised at all. If he is up to speed before the end of the SX season I'll be surprised.

I agree with this at first glance, but then again he was fit and fast at monster cup and actually looked good before going down at A1....

Personally, I think Kawi is having some motor issues... 3 riders being vague about some sort of issues or having a weird issue...

He most definitely does not look like what we are used to a few years back where he surprised everyone. He is kind of back to his old self to be honest. I think he just has had too much time off the bike and it will take some time. Maybe next year if all goes well for him.

He could surprise us all though with a holeshot and a good night. We all know how racing is. Some nights you are just on.

His air forks look to be to stiff in the corners - speaking of air forks - is he the fastest guy using Showa air? Must suck to not have the option of oil like Reed has.

I'd say Roczen is the fastest on Showa air. Option of oil? All the forks have oil in them.

Umm.. Air forks have oil in them... they don't have a metal coil spring however...

As for the fastest, your current championship leader is running them.

Showa SFF TAC: Roczen, Tickle, Millsaps, Hahn (injured), Seely, Noren, Baggett, Weimer, the whole PC team, Hansen, etc.

KYB PSF1: Canard, Tomac, Barcia, Peick, the whole Geico 250 team and the Star Yamaha team, Leib, Barns pros, Slaton Yamaha, Josh Hill, etc.

Are the suzukis using TAC? It looks like the small chamber at the bottom of the fork is gone and there is now an SFF sticker on the upper part of the fork leg.

They could be using the 3rd chamber in the legs like the 2015 CRF250 has?

Why not? PC 250's have had issues that they couldn't figure out and I still think Hahn's crash was bike related. Chad is vague in what his problem was so who knows.

it is interesting what has happened so far this season, it seems the yellow, orange and red bikes have had good results in the 450 class thus far
