51 and 21 on Zooks. Kind of redefines the meaning of “wrecking crew” doesn’t it.  And I don’t mean in the crashing sense either.  Almost reminds me of the brothers in the movie “Slapshot”. For you younger boys, I recommend you watch that movie to get what I’m referring to.  I’m liking this new Suzuki team. 😉

Soft classifies it as hard to ride though?

Like it can be a bit stiffer and easy to ride. If it went too far the other way it might get harsh... but if anything that says he has more window to come back to what someone might need.

Hard to ride sounds like nasty power delivery, unbalanced suspension setup, or super weird ergo setups. 

Kenny's bike might be softer, but it looks pretty conventional and his wrist control might be good but I don't think he's finding traction like he does if it's some lightswitch engine either.

He runs a very "springy" bike that has a ton of movement in the suspension. Others who have commented on it from Chisolm, Nichols, and Anderson have all said you have to be super precise with his setup because of the movement. So when asked, others have said it didn't really help them with their own setup

Is he able to kick start his own bike? Seems like a lot of Vet riders cant ride without e-start?

Can’t and don’t want to are very separate things lol. Good troll though.

Jett, Hunter, Roczen, Deegan, Sexton, Webb, Prado, Cooper, Hampshire, Coenen, AP, Mookie, Anderson, Marchbanks, Savatgy

8th doesn't sound too bad, assuming he's being paid as an 8th place guy and not as a championship contender

With everyone healthy, (yeah right). 8th would be a pretty killer finish for Barcia at this point in his career!
