it"s factory trickness.
Works much like a Gyro and helps wobble it's self back inline when Bam Bam hurles that CRF into one of his fatty whips.

It's a new lightweight injection polyethylene/RXF1 composite. Not as stiff as stock plastic.Saves about 13 ounces for the entire kit.

Or it could have been the result of contact early in the race.

Nah that's kind of far fetched.

I heard Honda is experimenting with flapping rear fenders. It's supposed to act like a wing on a Top Fuel Dragster. When the bike is on the ground it increases rear wheel traction.

I think those fenders are extra flimsy for some reason, probably an oversight. My buddies '13 450 rear fender cracked in half just by collecting some mud underneath it.

Yeah, I heard some guy on here that's always telling everyone how much better two-strokes are than four-stokes mention something about four-strokes needing those to compete with the two-strokes.

Must be true!
