My clutch plates let go (broke) at about 45 hrs...(they were not slipping) Got some material in oil ports I guess and starved the intake cam of oil. Had to get a new head/cam + normal stuff. Much cheaper to throw a set of clutches in before 40hrs fellas FYI.

I think Prado would be a better sign than ET3. The platform would be totally familiar to Jorge, AND, he no doubt would have better finishes..(hard to get worse) - In the eyes of KTM marketing, what better way to prove the Austrian machine is superior? Fire away but know that I only own Kawi's- At the old man level...

That 48.3hp number was from the 2023 model RX, the first year version. Each year after they made significant changes. 2024 also went from the 6 speed to a mx based 5 speed also. After 2023 it was making more power than the 250 2 strokes. The 350 will be even more.

Can't overlook how mentally tough the dude is to keep coming back to winning form year after year with all these injuries. Respect.

How about Desalle at 'Dilla in 2010? Battled Dungey hard. Herlings at Ironman is for sure the gold standard though

One could only hope. At this point Herlings on Sextons bike would be more exciting news than Sexton on Sextons bike..

Seems very strange as Febvre is killing it in MXGP. Guess that chassis is very, very different.. Who knows. I sure would think that with the obvious struggles, Factory Kawi US would on the phone every day with the MXGP team trying to figure this shit out.

That dyno is for the 23' model. The 25' is a very different motorcycle. Additionally, it looks like info on the 26' RR-X Pro is on the Beta website- All Red. The teaser is for the RX line releasing Tues
