The muffler laying in the middle of the track in 450 moto 2?
I’m going with A Ray’s. I think he lost one last weekend and if I’m not mistaken they were saying on pulp he lost another one in practice this week. Marv came pretty close to hitting it, not sure if he saw it or not.

I think Matthes tweeted that it was in fact A Rays. I didn’t know about him losing one in practice but what the hell is going on that they keep coming off?

A Ray said on the pulp show that the mounting tabs on the subframe are breaking.

You sure it wasn’t a tear-off?

Wait. The team is having issues with something known for about two years by now (aluminium silencer brackets without rubber will break the tab on the 19-> KXF)? This has been discussed about in the KX450F 2019 thread since the first month of the 2019 model two years ago.

New bike and they didn't have time to weld it yet.

You’d think the Kawi team could have lent them a subframe to avoid the black eye.

Seriously.

Rodbell is consistently in the top 15 on what would seem to be the exact same equipment.

What’s the difference?

Does he have a bigger parts budget?

Better mechanic?

I snapped a pic of him going down a straight mufflerless. Sounded like a monster coming around the track.

A Ray may need to learn how to weld. How many times can you loose a muffler before you figure out how to fix the problem? Is A Ray just a bad luck magnet or just too hard on equipment? Did he finish either moto today?

Being there it was clearly a muffler. Loudest bike on the track after that.

Ironically enough a newer Kawi lost a muffler recently in a local race of mine lol.

Nope. Rich get richer, not by giving parts to the peons.

You’d think someone racing the nationals could figure out how to keep it on. Especially after it’s happened a few times.
