I'm with you 100% on the fit of the TLD GP pants. I think when they say "Racer" fit, they mean "Trans woman racer."

They changed the Pulse stuff on some of the later 22.5 Pulse and the 23 Pulse . They got rid of the snap/button and hook thing. And put a ratcheting buckle on like the ones on their other pants. Looks like they have the same strap as the Prime pants. The buckle/strap on the Sector has bigger teeth so the adjustments are not as fine as the Pulse and Prime Buckles. I've been selling Thor gear since early 2022. And customers have had mostly good luck. I also sell Alpinestars , everything but pants and jerseys , but have lettered...

This season is shaping up to be stacked! I am praying for some epic Tomac / Jett battles. Hoping Tomac comes out on top of course.

11/14/2023 1:22pm I can confirm this and it took me two rides. The racer gear is supposed to be the tougher of the sets too. Im thinking one-two rides out of the other stuff then? Junk. Thor Pulse has been very good to me. Prime line as well. It's taken a beating and it still fits and feels great like it did...

I had TERRIBLE luck with alpinestars. 4 sets of pants all blew the seams on the seat of the pants within 5 rides.

OwenJakes Added a reply to Have you tried aftermarket spring perches? (+susp. internal parts chat)
11/13/2023 1:33pm I'm the OP. I ended up with gold valves and these perches and am so happy with the bike. The SDi Perches are great, and the other options mentioned here are probably really good too. I can only vouch for what I've used and for $100 the SDi perches rock. They make a noticable difference. Mkae sure you get the...

I am going to thoroughly disagree with that. While we may not be WFO all the time, the extra snap off the bottom is used to get on top of stuff using the motor with less body manipulation. Especially on a deep sand track with deep bumps, I am able to use the throttle rather than my body to unweight/lighten my suspension to get on the top of the bumps and use that power to stay on top rather than fall in the bottom, using less energy. If you have a rough exit of a corner and a rough straight...

11/10/2023 8:30am Sorry for the crummy post but I'm having picture trouble so please view the stuff on MXLocker. Both bars are perfectly straight and part of my bend sampling and testing.

Always a blip of the clutch when up or down, never once had a transmission failure doing it that way. Also I buy my own shit so I don't abuse it, and not using it isn't going to make me any faster.

11/9/2023 4:19pm I’m at 2mm from the top of the outer tubes (fork caps not included). What symptoms would indicate some fork adjustment is needed? Poor cornering/dull handling? Where would you “stop chasing”? Maybe go 7-10mm up? thanks a ton man!!

11/9/2023 2:39pm Thank you. Would you think this is enough to alter spring rates? I'll do my best to test them head to head like that and see what difference it makes. If I do not like the immediate results, would you advise against chasing settings? I don't see this as being worth it given that I think it feels great now.

11/9/2023 9:36am Hello. I picked up a nice Yamalink (+1.5mm version/10mm drop) for my YZ250 ('21). The price was alright and I am mostly curious about what it does. Just looking to experiment. The bike is setup great for me with Gold Valves front/rear and SDI spring perches up front too. 22mm Triple clamps. Feels amazing, handles amazing. Zero complaints. As I...

11/6/2023 8:19pm By the time they're selling a certain motorcycle, you can basically assume the next generation is in the detailed engineering phase at minimum and having proof of concepts tested or manufactured. The amount of energy and effort it takes to get something like a racing motorcycle into production in a competitive market is a massive undertaking that cannot be done...
