If you’re going to try different stuff, why wouldn’t you try products that are already available? 

The genius of it that it’s cheaper than making it yourself! Laughing

The cooper Webb effect. Crazy they are doing all the things he wanted last year.

Shows you how much Sexton is worth to them. Maybe Cooper calling their bluff and walking away opened them up a bit. I never understood why teams can be so rigid sometimes.

I think when he didn't want Aldon anymore he got in Roger's doghouse.

There is a reason why the KYB conversion is so popular to normal people it's because it's simply better !

I must be hallucinating 😂 this is not a good look for Sexton/KTM. It screams that he's uncomfortable and the WP components aren't up to par. I feel bad for Webb, bro really got shafted. Good on him for walking away...

You know damn well they already tried the 6500 spring conversion. I guess it wasn't that good compared to this 🤷

That is interesting  why not just put 6500 cartrige in there they are kind of the same as kyb stuff. but yeah dont know that factory guys really have on the inside.

BTW, didn't Kawasaki have a similar situation with the Uni-Trak?

I’ve had some Air Force security specialists from the cape sent to the track to provide security for Michael. There’s rumors of some Austrians in black hats following him around.

Then there's poor JB51 who just wants his 52mm kit forks back,  but nope. Denied! 

The KTM group keeps it interesting,  that's for sure.

So Sexton is on secret suspension and all of team Husky and Barcia still struggle on 52s? Good idea.

Interesting that they are getting more flex everywhere essentially since the new frames. Off with the 52mm, new FE is a softer frame, and now KYB units with rubber mounts all point to more front end flex. Great catch by ML for sure

OK, so everyone on Huskys and Barcia struggles on 48s, and Sexton can have KYB?
