Tell him Rocky MT ATV show levers in stock and have him order a sub frame too. Also needs to call PC and get a return # for the silencer update.

Surprised he's running KYB forks already. And it looks like a much shorter header than the stock one

Why ride that thing for the MXoN??

I understand people think the bike is better but at his level it may not be for what he likes and is already comfortable with.

Id hate for him to not have a good setup be the reason he doesn't win come MXoN time. As we have seen before if he doesn't have the bike setup well it shows in his riding.

Maybe the bike is that much better and having a good setup for MXdN will set him up early for next year so that he can focus on an SX title and not having to test for outdoors as early.

There’s a reason they run the races...to find out what the results will be.

I agree with Iceman. How are they gonna shake down an all new bike in this incredibly short window? Particularly when they already have established and proven settings/data on the '18 at Red Bud.

Thanks.

There are quite a few people here who seem to think the results of any race are a foregone conclusion based on previous events.
