Oh boy, want him to do well but kinda late in the game to be changing EVERYTHING. Man one thing at a time!
Its too bad he didn't have any time to test prior to A1
Fully agree. Not good at all. I’m not letting him ruin my fantasy picks this weekend! But I do hope they get it sorted at some point.
I thought Kawi was still making everyone run RV2s settings from 2014?

He said they changed everything a week out of A1 in an interview.
Chase for the love of God, you landing in the face of the double was on you.
I thought I heard on pulpmx that he tried something that Kitchen suggested before A1 and it opened up a whole can of worms lol
Swingarm pre-A1. Then this week, he ended up riding Kitchen's entire front end setup on his bike, that's how he got to a point he's basically running Pro Circuit-built suspension on his 450.
Track talkers pod was saying during press day at A1, someone close to the brothers told them chase had the forks off & rear shock off.
So, what are we at 3 “completely” different set ups.. not counting what goes on at the practice track?
How difficult is it to get the Bike in a window? The suspension team should just take it off, pretend to change shit. Put it back in & be like try that, it’s totally a different set up.
I think this is the one guy kawi needs to tell to just ride the damn bike.
It's going to be a long three years.
… I’m not a scientist. But those dudes look to be built different, and both ride the bike different…
Very interesting.
Must be the blind leading the naked at FACTORY Kawasaki to farm out suspension.
Nice guy but a complete and utter head case. Blazing fast, but will never win another title
Even DV is confused…
Is that header pipe longer than it was at A1, or does it just look that way?
I dont understand whats wrong with trying different suspension and parts. The big knock the media keeps talking about Kawasaki is that they wont change parts. Stop contradicting yourselves.
this team sucks.
hard to please rider vs hard to adapt team
Pit Row
So is Prado off the hook now?
Give him what works for him not what you want to work for him! Kawi should set the bike up so Chase can win on it and no one else, who should care at all what he wants changed he’s the one riding it.
I think the point is vast changes after a whole preseason and 1 race where he clearly had one lap speed. Some change is inevitable but if you change everything how would you know what’s an improvement or not
I expect Chase to wear his hat backwards by the second half of the season.
I heard he even changed his riding socks this week.
lol same shit diff year
He was off the hook by the end of last Saturday night..
Well precedence has been set that contracts don't have to follow through to completion...
Not a good look for Chase…. Hope he’s hauling the mail tomorrow
Fully vindicated!
It doesn't matter.
Chase is talented enough to win on anything. He's also mental enough to lose on anything. Let him change everything every week if that's what gets him to be confident chase instead of dirt sampling chase. The actual setup barely matters at this point.
I also remain convinced he'd be better off if his dad just sat in the stands and drank beer and let the team deal with the emotional roller coaster instead of always being there and turning it up to 11. But it's just a guess.
Oh snap! Haha.
I hope he wins in San Diego by the way.
Post a reply to: Chase changing the whole setup!?
