I’m pretty sure the OEM skid plate fits 24 and 25, 250 and 450. At least that’s what Ebay said, for 30 bucks. I have both Acerbis and OEM for my 24 KX450. The Acerbis requires you remove the water pump plastic protector on my 24. I haven’t tried the OEM yet but it looks easier to wash engine with OEM at first glance. I bought my OEM from Kawasaki parts online for cheap as I recall.

If you’re listening to those dudes for betting advice then your problem is you

I'm sorry but I can't agree with you.....he should have no problem qualifying for an outdoor race even on a bone stock bike right off the dealership floor. It's not going well at all....

If Hunter DNQ or got hurt that's on him. We know you prefer the Lawrences over JCoop, but JCoop had a great rookie season against "the most stacked field ever". If I were Star I would keep Cooper along with the other two and drop down to 4 or 5 250 guys.

Walked into a dealer yesterday and grabbed one. Availability is extremely spotty though

You can ask 15 vital members and get 30 different opinions, and that's before the argument.

Things are looking up for the KTM group this year with 2 regional SX titles and Chase starting to figure things out. Let's also not forget Plessinger having his best 450 results. I think the bikes are okay.

We'll have new bar mounts available for the GasGas (and other M10 interface bikes) in the next couple of weeks. They include three different rubber bushing sets for varying levels of shock and vibration reduction. https://www.luxonmx.com/product-luxon-gen3-rubber-mounted-bar-mounts-m1…

2022 ktm/Husky and 2023 gasgas is almost same meaures. 811/79/51 Husky is 80 instead of 79mm height.

Same bend as Renthal's McGrath bend. Can check it out on their worksfit tool. https://www.renthal.com/worksfit/

Same as KTM so similar to Renthal 821 or Pro Taper MX race bend. If you compare the 821 to the 839 (stock Honda/Kawi) the angles are about the same just the 839 sits 13mm higher and the KTM bend is wider. To me a KTM feels cramped with the 839 but good with the stock bar/821. You might try cutting the stock bar down to 800-805 mm before you buy something else to see if that helps. It is really stiff so you might be feeling that.

As others have said, the GasGas bars are the same Neken bar as a KTM. Keefer complains about the Neken bar in all of his KTM tests. He says he switches to ProTaper EVO bars for more comfort. I have a 23 GasGas and I don't mind the bar bend and I don't feel it's too rigid, although I spend plenty of time on a YZ250 with rigid bar mounts and ProTaper Evo (SX Race) bend. It is my understanding that the OEM ProTaper bar on a Husqvarna is essentially the same bend as the red and orange brands. That...

No cross bar is softer. Of all the no-crossbar bars, the ProTaper Evo's are generally the softest, comparing the same bends. Although your hands are at the same place, the Pro Tapers use a more shallow bend that looks like it would flex more. The downside is you end up with less control mounting area.

Yep, the OEM-Husky bend is basically the same as the KTM/GG bend. I have cut down a few pairs of them (about 5-10mm on each side) and put them on KTM and GG. As I said above, the Pro-Tapers already have pretty short control area, so cutting them makes this even worse. So be careful if you're running handguards, map switches, etc. It can get pretty tight. I have the ODI Podium Flight McGrath bend on my MC250. It is the same as the OEM KTM/Hus/GG bend but comes at 805mm. I'm not particularly sensitive to bar flex, but it...
