How cool would that be? But probably will be blue (I’m guessing).
All in all, very disappointing.
Yellow would be better for Chase, they are the best turning bike.
If they fire and hire the right people, Sexton will probably give it another try.
Chase needs to stay at Kawi for next year. Suck it up. The Prado deal last year is not comparable because Prado had a bike he loved and went back to it. No scenario like that for Chase.

Best financial decision…maybe. Best personal decision…most definitely not. He’s an extremely competitive guy. To just give up and collect a paycheck would kill him. He either needs to swallow his pride and find a way to work with the team, or bounce to a team where he feels he can compete for wins.
There’s a lot of forks in CS4’s road ahead. I hope he chooses the ones that will make him happy.
He'll move to Star, repeat the cycle then pull a Baggett and leave without notice forcing himself into retirement.
KYB?
Loser ass mindset
Suggestion: He was the last guy at the test track because he was never truly content with his set-up.
And that can be one tiring, how long can he continue at that pace whilst not being happy?
We watched Roczen get better when he relaxed a little.
I think Chase could be the same. Relaxing and ‘mailing it in’ might just be the change he needs to make.
It’s not 1992 anymore..
Didn't Chase win a SX title on the Honda ?
A Costa Rican surf/golf trip with AC and a few sips of ayahuasca will do that Midwest perfectionist/ stubbornness some wonders. Or maybe a wellness retreat with me in Thailand.
I bet his riding would have less charge and more flow, allowing for a more balanced and consistent platform under him.
No one can stay in flow with their eyes down and an inner critic chirping in their ear all moto.
To whom do you have something to prove, Chase?
Sabai Sabai 🤙🏽
I genuinely think you mean well, but it doesn't come across that way. Maybe you mean to have a condescending tone with hints of self-righteousness; if so, then carry on and disregard.
What makes you genuinely think I mean well, if I do not come across that way?
Are you projecting something onto me?
Or running on a naturist beach with LewLew.

Certainly did, but do you remember how many race wins he threw away? SX is where the complaints were, outdoors not so much.
Pit Row
I guess Kawi will not look for a fill in rider for the summer…?
Hopefully the season off does wonders. I want him back running up front challenging for wins but Chase needs to reset himself first. If he doesnt do that a different team won't matter. Eventually he'll run into the same problems(himself).
Lol you down voters are morons. Backwards hat KTM era, we’ve literally seen this happen before - Chase is the king of subliminals. Flame away ignore the facts.
Based solely on financial considerations, I would tend to agree with you.
At Kawi, he's guaranteed several million per year. He can keep working on setting up the '27 and try to mend fences with the team.
If he goes somewhere else for a low salary, highly incentivized contract, he's going to have to go through two Lawrence's, a Deegan, and a Coenen. That'll be difficult as he tries to learn yet another new bike.
I hope he goes yellow. Him and Kroc as teammates sounds badass.
Prado’s shock issue was a broken spring collar…nothing internal like the others were having….so no not even close to the same issue.
He might love the Ducati?
Ignore bikes for a moment. Who is the best trainer / coach / team combo to be on? And isn’t this as important as the bike?
All of what you said are true, and still they are not Chase. Until Chase himself figures out what he needs and likes from a motorcycle, is able to communicate that properly to the team you will see this issue. Although not all bikes are the same, the Lawrences are the best example of it all when you look at Keefers comments. Hunter worked on the bike all year during SX. Chase needs a team that can lead him to a proper direction
Define what you mean by ‘over’?
"At Kawi, he's guaranteed several million per year. He can keep working on setting up the '27 and try to mend fences with the team."
And if he's nice enough, maybe Dan Failure can even teach him how to use a clutch. 🤣
You're all talking like he's free to sign anywhere he wants, as if his contract can just be voided at will.
