Webb should do good in sand, he should be able to take his 450 mxon settings for southwick
Exactly my view, I want to see racers being able to focus on racing, not surviving. Last week was much about who dared to leave the gas on through the rough sections. And it was cleared they could not do this lap after lap because they would have crashed

what settings are you running? im testing the fork right now. superior to stock aer 48, cv aer feels like a spring fork. weight 7.6kg.

Even if 10.8 felt stiff, 10.1-10.5 should be OK. We have 75kg C riders running 10.5. I have experienced issues where the fork lock to high in the stroke, feels stiff and working 2-4cm higher in the stroke. Then it is a fork issue. 180 oil created same feeling. And don't forget to bleed both legs.

crucial to bleeed both legs as usual. stiff is because you are running to low pressure. 145-155 psi is what you need, and a 48 rear spring

got to agree, really bad. little insight on how it performed. was the power like a 250, 350, 450, did he get tired riding it, how long sessions did he do, how did the chassi feel and compare to regulsr bikes.

You have multiple things to play with here. Gearing. I run 13-49 Throttle cam: I run the larger cam (quick throttle) Mapping: I run the soft (1) mapping with the above combo My view is that the throttle cam is causing a large part of the initial problem, having to turn the throttle like it was a 250. I think...

Tomac Webb (Anderson if not Webb) Osborne or Forkner (AC) Dungey: Why the hell send a guy that is in a downward spiral, zero motivation and on his way out most likely for 2018? Jmart: Starts man, you need starts in MXDN. AC: To unreliable at this moment, but a stable outdoor and he is in. Has good starts and...

The factory teams have resources to have people on the stands clocking multiple riders with different lines. A privater cant. This evens the score a bit since you can run different lines during practise and then go back and look what is quicker for you. Racing is racing, that 2-5 tenths that you "save" by going in the fastest line...
Looked over the top 20-25 list. Over the last 2.5 seasons, only 2 riders have not been out from supercross races due to crashes in the same type. Ryan Dungey and Eli Tomac. However, both has been out if you add outdoors. So in MX/SX, if you are a Pro expect to be out at some point if you run...

ask them to do a NFL test from spinal fluid. That will say in black and white how recovered you are. normal value is around 300 or so, boxer that gets knocked out it shot up to 4000. heavy concussion similar if you pass out for a second. takes 9 months to recover. after 18 weeks you are at 5-600...

120 bridgestone is like a 130 pirelli or dunlop. go 110 if you chose bridgestone
Set clickers back to stock. Get the right rear spring for your weight, set it to ~107mm sag, (make sure there is preload on the spring and reasonable static). Then adjust air pressure until you have a balanced bike and maybe 10-15mm left on fork travel. Then start with clickers. Not before.

It started with the 2012 EXC lite with the new lighter engine, and then 2013 SXF 450/350. Of course this was due to Roger Decoster and Ryan Dungey demanding a new 450. That 2013 350/450 SXF was a game changer and that is when sales started to take off. Otherwise KTM would by now not even have had a 450...

Not sure it fits here, but Ohlins is Swedish and are huge in general within the racing industry. They do about 100 million USD per year in suspension for racing industry where MX/Enduro is one part. They started the company with that 30-40 years ago. So their new 2017 Flow shock, and fork is dynamite. They do however very little...
