Not that I care, but isn't Roczen only 20? Hopefully his sponsors don't get pissed for underage drinking.

You don't think Chad used/ uses money from Monster to fund his team? If he does, how would you feel if you found out your money was used to fund a Red Bull rider?

Panic_rev, Roczen is sponsored by Red Bull and two two is sponsered by Monster energy drink. Unless Chad drops Monster, there is no way Kenny is going to his team.

I would like to hear and see more of Ricky and Jeff talking to us as if we were taking Ricky's riding classes. Finding riders with great riding fundamentals and telling us how it is making him ride successfully. For instance, instead of going, "Whoa! Did you just see James case that quad?" He could have said, "Whoa, good thing...

Yes, you're right, but I was hoping I would get more of general answers to my questions. Is there a certain point where someone can say "hey, porting my cylinder for more low end will fix this problem over gearing selection"? Lets say I go to a new track, what section (starting straight, shortest section to a 90 degree corner...

How much does gearing selection play a role when it comes to porting and polishing a cylinder and head? I was reading some stuff Eric Gorr offers and he can change the cylinder to increase low to mid, mid to top end etc. I was also reading about taking .030" off the base of the cylinder to increase the low...

It came with a 13 front and 51 rear. I tore my bike apart this winter because my frame was cracked and found another one on ebay. Once I got to tearing into my bike found out why my frame cracked. The lower two engine mounts were oblong, which put all the pressure up on the top frame mount. When...

Sorry...2003 Honda Cr250. When selecting the right size sprocket is it best to ride the fastest section and base the gearing off of it? In my opinion, I would want to be in 3rd gear and just about to sign off, but enough there, so my engine isn't screaming before the corner. I've rode a local track where 2nd gear...

(Weight and where) By the questions you ask it sounds like you need to talk to either race tech or factory connection. Race sag you could just google it or go to motocrossactionmag.com and read some articles on there. Also you could read the FAQ on suspension shop's webpage and most of what your asking can be answered better than...

That's what I figured and you're right about not being a big name amateur. Just interested in doing things right. I wondered what was all involved with matching cases and then matching the cases to the cylinder. If all it is, is taping down 400 grit sandpaper on a perfectly flat machined table or granite top, and painting Dykem on...
