The detail and explanation behind what all went into Sexton’s shock/linkage change was great. Thanks for sharing.

The Factory Connection- AEO linkage into dealerships is a great development. I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often.

Ml, factory ktm off-road bikes used to have a starter on the frame by the tank on the right side, any idea if they still use those?

Thank you Michael. As usual, another awesome drop.

Looking forward to A2...

Easily my favorite feature. I'm a total nerd for all the trick/fancy unobtainum!

Amazing work, as usual. So much better than any other pit walks, including and especially in MXGP.

I'm always impressed by your technical knowledge.

Thx!

I'm a tool and die maker by trade, so I love all the trick parts.

Best feature on the web!


Someone needs to tell AP the Chargers aren’t in SD anymore.

awesome ML! question for you, I see so many teams this year running X-Trig clamps, Im guessing its team sponsor related as opposed to performance? Just curious if you know what offset the Honda bikes are using, 22 or 24?

They make a great product and have lots of options for teams.

As for Honda, that's a loaded question. Depends if we're talking indoors or outdoors, and what races they're running at that time. They use both but it depends on a few factors.

Lots of teams on them because of $$$ and/or extra support from KYB/Hinson, etc since they're all related owbership/partners. They make a good product as well, but that's the main reason they're everywhere.

The new 6d googles have a huge lens and look awesome!  

Gonna need to try those out when they're made available. That'll force me to update from the ATR2 to the ATR3 , so not exactly an inexpensive change in goggle brands.  

But good move on 6D's part....want our spiffy goggles, gotta buy our spiffy helmet too.

I posted this in the comments already but throwing it out in this thread too... In the photo of Sexton's bike, isn't the yellow dot on the Dunlop rear tire supposed to be on the drive side of the bike? Are they running the tire backwards?

Doesn’t that just mark the lightest part of the tire? So you’d want to line it up with the rim lock or valve stem.

Great stuff as always ML. Is anyone running the AT82 tires this year? Last year several prefered it over the MX34.
