The ECU issue isnt as bad as what is made out, try one yourself to see, anyway easy to fix via Twisted Development

Gee not this shit again....does it REALLY matter how he wears his hat? We went through this shit with KR a few years ago

Yup, what was more interesting was the huge speculation around why he left the Geico gig, it was simply that he wasnt given a contract for a couple of months and that gave him time to give more pause, and on reflection I guess he was lucky he was 'given' ... more »

I always thought/understood that if he had of got the backing he needed (sponsorship wise) then he would of raced.

I have a CR500 (steel frame) and have ridden Aluminium framed 500's, yes they vibrate but the Aluminium framed bikes vibrated a little more than the Steel, it is not by huge amounts...perhaps VTEC needs to ride them for himself to see they are not that ... more »

You do not have a brand favourite?

I have not ridden either but I lean towards the Honda from what I have heard from local racers who have one

Fantastic news!

oh I see now, so its your biggest gripe but you dont know if it is actually a problem....gotcha

I think we all know that out of the box the Honda isnt the strongest engine, congrats on your new purchase

bad luck for them, the ones I have seen at tracks in my area seem to run all day (to be fair I didnt notice them not running, I am sure I would of notice had they not been)

I havent seen the dyno reports from those teams, can you share them with us?

sorry if I missed the point, but why is 'common case' an issue?

Love the way these guys still have "it"

My guess would be yes

you here it all the time when a rider goes to a new team, no one is EVER going to say the bike is slower or as fast, they will always say its faster even if it isnt.... I agree with posters above, if JM doesnt win the title then what will people say ... more »

it is strange the clutch hose is routed that way, most bikes with hydraulic clutch have a hose that is routed under the bar pad. If I owned a 2021 CRF I would do that myself, not a difficult job. Then again it would only be for aesthetic reasons, it ... more »

I think Star Racing have a pretty stacked team, so will be very difficult for any other team to get a win, that said....you never know!
