But Febvre beat a rookie who has never won a championship on that bike last year!
Kawi is second in manufacture points and have two riders in the top ten. I doubt they’re panicking.
Factory team should be ok because they are second in the least meaningful point series in history of dirt bike racing?
Doubt they are panicking? They have hired AC, Prado and Chase to what supposed to be championship contenders.
If they are not in panic mode, they need to resign.
Think they need to farm the team out to a private mob ie like Star did taking over factory Yam.
Get some fresh eyes on the bike.
Get rid of the corporate crap.
Surely you can get that bike sorted.

Where are they in 450 manufacturer points?
Nothing wrong with the bike. Kawi mgmt gambled and lost with Chase and Prado.
Now the team is in a low point.
I agree but they all have way too much pride as they’ve shown over and over
And caused Ciancirulo to give up a factory ride and retire early.
The bikes not slow revving. I think some of the issues is with start mapping. Kawi is obviously thinking its better to have a good track map than start map. the problem is with starts. They gotta do work on getting the bike off the line. And it has to do with mapping and clutch release point and delivery. Have you ever heard of Team Kawi putting much emphasis into starts? Nope. They need to start…getting starts
Sexton being sexton again
One more front end tuck away from 2012 Houston Stew.
I wouldnt be surprised if we are already there.
Yea they definitely have never thought about starts before and that’s definitely there only problem 😆
It appears that they have finally gotten his setup to mirror his Honda setup he used to have…..
Ya damn right he did!!! lol
Chase sure gets thrown from his bike more than any rider I can remember, damn
Pit Row
There is no way he is staying 3 years. He is a second off Tomac, and for him that's 1.5 off.
I’m telling you it’s the eject button……and those pesky turns that keep getting in the way.
🍴
He and the bike are certainly NOT good today…. At least last week he had speed in qualifying.
Hate to see it.
He's probably hoping a "rock hits the throttle body" again.
I got my money on him tonight. Not because I think he’ll win but because I hope he will and the odds are there.
If you’re going to a race this year, take a walk over to the Kawi truck and tell them. They’ll be glad to hear from you..
25 secs back in heat??
He's going to have to figure something out or it's going to be a long summer.
That heat race effort was almost as bad as Prado at budds. He’s had too many “flashes of brilliance” to believe it’s so much the bike. Very confusing. Tomac seems like he turned over a new leaf. Prado is a bit off the pace in this heat but he’s a much better Vince.
The way he was launched in practice and his reaction to that, I'd say he's just frustrated right now and doesn't really trust the bike
You do know they have dual maps in the bike? One is separate for start only 🤦
