As an extuner, I can tell you that most of the info these guys are throwing out is good. But even if you have the mechanical know how, books on theory, etc, the biggest thing to do to be successful is testing. And as someone mentioned, you do have to ... more »

So how does one get on these lists? I can ride just about anytime this week.

Well that sucks. My prayers to his family and friends.

I know this thread is a year and a half old but now left over 19s range from 6500 to 6850 OTD. I just bought a 2020 for 7498 OTD. And I bought in Oregon so no sales tax

Yeah thats what I was afraid of. Thanks for the input

I rode RMs from 89 through 98 with only a 93 CR250 and a 94 YZ250 mixed in. The 89 - 95s were all great. I sold my 93 because everyone said the CR was so much better. They were so wrong. My 95 had Guy Coopers Penske shock he ran at the Washougal national. ... more »

Shiney.. MX-Tech National shock. I'll have to track you down and get a ride report

Sorry, I didn't see this. Its ok,nothing to rave about, nothing to complain about. It feels heavy. They do have terrific customer service, replacing the mount for free

arg, someone just beat me to it, SDI or Suspension Direct. Depending on what part you need, Parts Unlimited carries a oit of KYB parts, which all come from Technical Touch. You have to go to a dealer except for Dennis Kirk. Supposedly they re PUs online ... more »

Get the Race Tech 6725 series spring

They make it steer better for sure but made them a bit harsher. Ride Engineering made a similar comment on their website. But easy enough to fix

I know this is way late in the game for this post but I was waitng to get all things together and then life happened and got completely sidetracked. So for whoever is interested, here are a couple of picks of my KX450. Also are some pics of the subframe

You also have to factor in the ego factor. Sometimes when a factory deems their part or spec to be the best, even if its not, they don't want to be challenged by a "lesser" person on the team. They don't want to be shown up by a mere mechanic who comes ... more »

Thanks, I'm kinda proud of myself on that spot. I got my subframe back and the dude did a great job. This sucker ain't breaking off. But I think i discovered one of the main reasons these tabs are breaking off......they are welded at the wrong angle,

Is this an older ECU tuner? I have one from 2016 and it has this but what I found on Kawis website for a mount was a lock clip that tapes to the frame somewhere. But I didn't want to take the seat off every time I wanted to mess with so I mounted down

Its funny you mention this. The first time I rode one I was putting in quite a few laps in one session and I could hear my breathing over anything noise the bike was putting out, except the tires running on the ground. And I may have skipped someone ... more »
