lowmass Added a reply to Honda CRF Chassis harshness
1/9/2025 11:53am Ive done a lot of development work with loudspeakers. You get your ass handed to ya in this arena with respect to how things flex and resonate. Often a too flexy structure (soft) will have major issues and a too stiff structure, while taiming some resonances will sing like a banshie when it finally does go off. Its a frustrating...

lowmass Started a new thread Honda CRF Chassis harshness
1/9/2025 9:27am The 2025 Honda crf450 has a hard, spiky feel in the chassis. This attribute is of course exacerbated by hard edgy tracks BUT is always there and can even be felt just ridding in the pits. It seems to me there is an issue with this chassis, However I really like the way this bike handles and would very much...

10/1/2024 5:31am an update on this..... Sent an inquiry to Kris Keefer on this. He says..... "From what I was told that the slide bar only works for iPhone 13 or newer. That’s what they told me." quite disappointing that the Yamaha app doesn't fully work on my phone that is really not that old
lowmass Started a new thread yamaha power tuner app issues
10/1/2024 3:52am Im have an iphone 11. Just bought a 2025 YZ450. The power tuner app screens dont show any advanced settings slide tabs or up/ down tabs. I can load the standard maps into bike BUT I cannot make any changes to the settings matrix. My phone is having trouble making updates so I thought that may be it. However my...

lowmass Added a reply to YZ450f to feel like KTM350?
10/1/2024 3:42am comparing the 2025 sxf350 to both 2025 yz450 and 250. The KTM 350 chassis is not in the same league as the yamahas. Not by a long shot. The yamahas are significantly better in suspension as well. KTM has work to do on that new chassis and the they need to give up on the suspension science experiment! As for...

6/24/2024 10:00am Maybe.... Ive been back n forth with REP on this from the beginning. They were very helpful and put up with my multiple questions like pros with patience. A rare combination

6/22/2024 4:45pm understood. I went to extremes to test level feel. Fork height changes simply were not enough. Only rear height changes were effective. As a last resort I am actually considering oval out the lower bolt holes in subframe as a way to lower rear of seat. I appears KTM made the fender height higher than necessary on these bikes. There...

6/22/2024 4:48pm Thanks yes very sensitive. When close to sweet spot I can easily feel 1mm sag changes Do you have a link to those pegs? I considered a lighter spring but I am using everything it has now so not sure thats a good option for me A coil and some valving work out front I hope will help match the...

6/22/2024 3:29pm yes. Tryed flush and tryed pressures as high as 160 in attempt to level seat out. This was not effective. You can get a bit more level at flush and high pressures But you now have a very tall center of gravity and handling is not great here. As well these forks art 160 are harsh. Rear sag adjustments have...

6/21/2024 9:39am Thanks for responding. So heres my thing... Im comming off a 2022 sxf and now on a 2025 350 SXF. This new chassis imo runs rear high. Ive never been comfortable on any bike that is setup this way. By the time ya run enough pressure in forks to balance out with the tall running rear you end up with...
