Every race that bike has problems ..they need a new mechanic.
They need to get their shit together.
Although it made it through the LCQ.

Something with the shifter or right side? Not entirely sure.

right before he pulled off, there was footage of him coming thru the tunnel (while in 4th place) and he looked like he was bump starting the bike or something. It happened kind of fast so its hard to tell, but something wasnt right.

It was also reported[thru racerx twitter] that he was having trouble starting the bike again tonight before practice.
This is the 3rd or 4th race that they had trouble with it starting.
He looks pretty good riding...But the need to get the bike going.
It's crazy to think if he is having this many problems with the bike , how in the hell can he be confident?

If it happens a couple more times maybe the dealer will have to buy it back under the Lemon Law?

Musquin DNF`ed both his moto`s in MXdN in Lakewood. He was on a JDR KTM. I don`t know what they`re doing differently but whatever it is they need to change it.

Free practice for #37 Stewart and it sure looked like the sprocket came off the hub and was spinning with the chain still on. DNF free practice. KTM mechanic came out to that section between practices and was looking for something. Sprocket bolts maybe? lol

It's quite sad for Mookie, the guy clearly has the desire and skill to do well.

Happened to Matt Moss in the MX2/MX3 race at the 2011 Nations too. Couldn't get the bike going, and that was a JDR 250 ktm.

it has nothing to do with the MFG, Something is very wrong to have so many basic issues, while some riders worry about a few clicks and what tire to run, Mookie worries will my bike even start.

Dungey's Suzuki not starting , I believe was a direct result of Suzuki changing directions and lack of funds last year.

You sure he was on a JDR bike and not a full factory bike?

I thought he was on the EFI bike and people blamed KTM for racing a new model without enough testing....my memory could be failing me though.

Think you could be right.
