New motor, frame, suspension, bar mounted maps. It’s got the old plastic for now but that will change as it doesn’t work with the new subframe.

There are a couple of funny bracket to on there to make the side panels fit. Notice the "air-box cover" on the right side?

Yes, I believe the old plastic is just temporary. I think that black cover is actually to hide the shock as the airbox cover should be on the other side of the bike unless it’s also been moved.

My bad, I meant right-side. DOH!

They're hiding a lot of changes behind all that "old" plastic. Grinning

Is that an O2 sensor? Are those already standard? I don't follow 4 stroke tech.

yeah, I feel kinda used here... LOL Dude man could at least give credit to Dirt Sports where I linked the pics from. Also he's got some factual errors in his article there, such as the rider's family name.. hahaa

Blatantly ripping off the site then bragging about it...hot damn, as the IT guy for our company I just blocked the mxbars.net at the domain level. I don't want to go back (and now I can't lmao).
