Is he back riding already? Are you sure it was him?
McGrath also said the bike didn't have a problem on a podcast. Kawi ambassadors are hilarious
That’s crazy. According to everyone here, Kawasaki always forces you to run things you don’t want and never gives you what you’re asking for 😂
Unless the engine location in the frame has moved as well......Just a thought.

I thought of this too, but you would think it would had been part of the "new" changes on the press release list, idk man
I have no idea, but that is beside the point. It is normal for gear companies to run clean gear in their ads, and Astars used a picture of someone purporting to be Chase clearly on a Kawasaki in the same ad package. I don't know if Chase is leaving Kawi or not but I do feel pretty confident there were no hints to be gleaned from that ad.
The red flag wasn't pajamas lacking logos
I agree, I would think they would show this on changes for the 27 model.
Right, it was the faint reflection of the bike in the blurred artsy-fartsy ad.
oh shit and it's obvious it IS Chase because he's looking straight down
Is chase but this photos are normally taken at the start of Outdoors.
Yes, but I didn't put a ring on it.
who here believes Chase knows what to ask for to improve his bike? i don't....neither does Honda, KTM, and Kawasaki. apparently Star doesn't want to deal with him either....
It’s wild how quickly we’ve forgotten that KTM was going through bankruptcy when Chase left. Regardless of how much it’s assumed he did or did not ride the Kawi beforehand, a better opportunity was made available. Would you stick with your employer if the ship is sinking in 3 billion debt?
where did you see the press release with new for 2027 changes list?
Google it. Pretty easy to find.

Recovering from ACL, Chase wont be 100%, and may be 5,6,7th place the first 3 mo's of SX.
Assume this will be another year of acclimation with the Green bike and team.
Beyond a head scratcher that Factory Kawi cannot provide what their riders request to make them comfortable.
Relax guys. That wasn’t Chase on the bike anyways.
That was Jett is Chase’s gear 😉🤣
cool! Some good info there. see how it translates this year...
Extract:
In addition, a longer chain with 116 links instead of 114 has been introduced. As a result, the rear axle moves back five millimeters.
(No info yet on the siting of the BNG, and how that might affect aerodynamics and weight distribution).
Sexton may not need a longer swingarm...
but Marchbanks could use it...
Yeah, I don’t disagree that the Lawrence’s know bikes, but Trey has to be the most underrated piece to that puzzle. Bike is the best in the world on both sides of the pond and I have to believe he played a large role in that.
Crazy how Chase keeps having that same problem everywhere he goes. He must have bad luck
You can move the rear wheel back like 15-20mm just from sprocket changes.
It’s interesting that PC shoves theirs all the way back, despite the 250 having a more slack head angle.
Gncc guys, Stu’s team, mostly run their axle blocks nearly all the way in. Which I’ve tried on my 26 kx and I actually like much more. It takes a lot of wt off the front end.
Keefer is all over the map. He has made videos about running the blocks farther in and then a month later, he says he prefers a longer swing arm. He don’t know sh$t either lol
A longer chain/swing arm puts more weight on the front tire. I’m not enough of an engineer to tell you if that leads to more or less tucking of the front.
Post a reply to: Chase Sexton update .vs. Kawis new model?!
