There's some parts that kawi have that would have helped prado and im sure chase and marchbanks but they cant be used here. Febrev and katsuya have said as much as well.
Im curious how much if any of the issues they've had the 27 fixes or allows them to run those gp parts.
or lining up at the gate...
Ryan Villopoto won four 450 SX and two 450 MX titles with them at the same time Weimer was there...and Eli won muliple MX and one SX while there...so the team can't be that bad...
Rv would have won those titles on a donkey.

Sexton is very immature. He needs to get rid of his dad and take a serious look at himself.
yea man, its right here:

Are you gay? Or just hyper critical of mens weight. Upload the selfie big dog.
Pretty immature to be attacking anyones appearance.
Thats damn low.
He was hanging with Hunter and Jett last summer and winning races, now he’s like a 7th place guy. Is he a head case? Yes. Do I also think there are some serious flaws with either the bike or leadership at Kawi? Also yes.
You can see a bit of it in the background of this clip Pit Bits
I was there. 😎
So, I don't screw with Insta.
How can you tell those likes came from Sexton?
Let it be known across the land…I hate you.

😂 Rick rolled?
Oh man! That’s clear as day. How come this video took so long to surface?!!!
I see. Thanks!
Not exactly a great PR guy is he?

Damn Sexton is a meme currently. Insta mx content literaly flooded with content creators making fun of him. Tucking the front end became "to sexton". I dunno.. I wonder how he himself feels about that. Does he think its funny? Does he care? Does it make him feel angry and/or sad? He comes across as pretty vain (dunno if its the right translation, I mean the german word "eitel"), so I think he isnt careless on what goes around about him in social media. Slowly but surely I think it goes a bit too far at this point. Although im one of em making fun of him lol

I helped an Amish family get their buggy out of a ditch this morning . After getting it back on the road and making some small talk . The father told me he was making the turn to head back home and he "sextoned the front end and landed in the ditch. "
I disagree because I think the big difference is no one is going to believe him if he says the Yamaha sucks.
When he was at Honda, there were reasons to think there could be issues with the platform. Chase got there at the end of Kenny's time there - which we should all remember Kenny was constantly messing with bike set up and being close but unable to finish championships. "The Honda Curse" was still in effect. Chase hadn't won the 23SX title and the Lawerence's hadn't moved up and become the juggernaut they are.
His first year at KTM, some one will have to remind me, but I really don't remember much about bike set up being discussed with Chase, it was more just, dang, Jett's here and he's winning everything and Chase is adjusting to this new bike. SX went that way and then MX Jett's gone and Chase walks to a title. Year 2 we all know how that went. Team relationship went south, then the shock fade issue came and that was the big problem.
Now here we are with Kawi... a team that has a reputation for stuff like this. I'm not saying Chase has been right about everything, but I'm also saying he probably hasn't been wrong about everything.
But I will say for certain, if he goes Blue and starts complaining, nobody is buying that.
Just heard Big Lew's spin on the review pod. Definitely agree there aren't any highlight moments on the Kawi (and that there probably won't be any). But his defense of Sexton is not good. The "passion" and "desire" that Sexton seems to posses, the way he wants to be peak Chase Sexton "tomorrow", is clearly the issue here. He had so many highlight moments with KTM, he even went from last to first at Hangtown! But his "passion" and "desire" to be peak Chase Sexton clearly overshadow those highlight moments.
We actually saw that play out in real time when he tried to pass Webb in race 3 at that triple crown even though he didn't need to, and in doing so he pissed away a win. That race is a perfect metaphor for Sexton's journey onto the Kawi. He was in a position that was good enough to win, but he could only focus on the imperfections and ended up throwing it all away.
Marchbanks shows the bike is capable of 5th place. Which is great for him. He has yet to show that it can go the speed that it takes to win. Which is a whole different level. There's too much smoke here with Prado and Sexton to just say the bike is perfectly fine.
It's also just unrealistic to expect everything to be perfect immediately and throw a tantrum if it's not. I refuse to accept that he has exhausted all options in improving himself and eliminating his own mistakes. I think it would do him good to put things in perspective by comparing MX to other motorsports where machinery really is a huge part of the equation and you stand no chance of winning unless you're on the top 1 or 2 bikes/cars.
Quartararo is arguably in the top 3 most talented and complete riders on the MotoGP grid, and a great day on that Yamaha is a 10th-place finish. He hasn't won a race in about 4 years! Acosta is moving heaven and earth trying to make the KTM competitive as a generational talent and still can't win. The Hondas have been trying to kill their riders for multiple seasons now, and even Marquez had to leave in the end to start winning races again. F1 is even worse for all of this -- the best driver of all time wouldn't be able to win even in the 4th best car at any given time.
In the grand scheme of things, Chase has far more control over whether he can be competitive on the Kawi in motocross and supercross than almost any other athlete in motorsport who makes a mistake and signs with the wrong team at the wrong time. What Ken did on the Suzuki this year just wouldn't happen in most motorsports because the biggest factor in our sport is still the rider, and that's what makes it so cool
That’s not unrealistic though.. Chase could get 5th all day on the Kawi in his sleep..
The difference between 5th and 1st is usually half a second a lap.. those minute differences are the difference. Chase is a typically a good starter, we haven’t seen A green bike out front from the gate since.. shit idk, Eli was a bad starter on Kawi too.
My point is that’s the bike is amazing yes, but to get that extra half second, something is lacking.. and when Chase has that feeling (whatever it is) he DOES Have the speed to run with Jett..
It is painful that the team is scared to use production stuff because then the bosses in Japan could ask themselves why the invest so much in works stuff while it doesn't work.
Kawasaki USA finds it more important to show that their R&D is the real deal instead of creating the best possible bike for their rider.
We are talking 2.5 sec a lap currently. I have said it the whole SX season, chase is about 1-1.5sec off his normal pace.
Seems to be more for MX since he could run Jetts pace on the KTM.
A2 and Salt Lake City proved the bike is perfectly capable - they need to give Sexton the EXACT bike that won Salt Lake, and tell him that what he is gonna ride from here on out. No more fiddling with settings and parts swapping. The bike can do it, now he just needs to do his part.
