9/1/2025 9:45am Who would have guessed at the start of the season that the biggest effort Prado would make, is in getting out of his existing contracts.
Phoenix Handlebars Liked a reply to forum topic Best YZ250 Bar Bend?
9/1/2025 8:21am At the risk of looking like spam... and not wanting the wrath of Michael screaming at me... although he and I had a nice chat yesterday at Fox Raceway so I think I'm good. When I started Phoenix Handlebars it was to help answer that exact question. What bar do 'you' need? People always think that because you're tall that you need a tall bar and if you're short you need a short bar. Obviously it's all personal preference and it depends on your riding style. Being 6'2" and riding woods, I'd look at something in the 90-95mm height. That...

profmur Added a reply to Best YZ250 Bar Bend?
9/1/2025 8:21am Additional data would be helpful to answer your question. You stated you do not like the tall bars because it felt choppered out and the bike wouldn't turn. What did you not like about the flat bars when you rode with them? When you ride are you more likely to sit or stand?

8/31/2025 7:29pm That is a very reasonable way to do it for sure! The way I have it laid out in the post definitely makes it seem like a (help me now or don’t help me). It’s far from that. No one HAS to help and that is fine with me. If people would like to help they go on the top of my helmet and it shows their support of me to others that care. Either that be from the first round or if someone helps for the last round it will be added to all the way to the end...

8/31/2025 12:50pm I've been racing a series in Texas called TORCS for the third year now. The races are well organized and scheduled almost a year in advance. Makes it easy to plan for them. I can leave the house in the morning, drive to the race, unload, practice, race, and drive home in a reasonable time frame. No sitting around for 8 hours. And each race is roughly 70 minutes in duration, so ride time isn't a problem. I still ride MX almost every weekend and now get to race 10+ times per year with them planned out well in advance...

8/31/2025 12:37pm Just to clarify, my comment was a dig at Prado’s level of effort. I have no doubt that Chase (or any former champion) should have no problem putting the bike on the podium. Prado’s results reflect his level of effort, although I’m also confident that he underestimated the level of competition in AMA racing. I don’t believe we’ll ever see him contend for a SX championship no matter what bike they put him on. I could be wrong, but I also doubt that he’ll have anything for Jett in AMA motocross next year no matter what he’s riding.

8/31/2025 10:45am In a perfect world the eps can last a longtime. But I've seen how some peoples sweat seems to be harsher than others. Along with using different stuff in their hair, to clean the helmet, not cleaning the helmet, and storage all can impact the EPS. When I was painting helmets ,I got some used helmets to paint as display helmets and I was surprised at how brittle some of the EPS was in some helmets, and how another helmet close in age ,same model , just a different previous owner looked and felt almost new. I think that the...

8/31/2025 9:44am Even if Prado adapts to the production based KTM, he has to get through the SX season healthy to make the nationals. Seeing how many riders who have been racing SX for years have a hard time completing a SX season uninjured, I think we can all agree it is going to be difficult for Prado to do. I hope it doesn't lead to him bitching about the team and bike when he is on KTM. We can all see what lead to this season for him (thanks for the great read ML) injuries, new bike, new team, new to...

8/31/2025 9:42am A friend just picked one of these up and he's had nothing but problems with it. The latest was a malfunctioning side stand switch. Multiple times he has been left stranded miles from civilization on dirt roads. It could be he has a lemon and it's isolated issue but I would not consider one based on his experience.

8/29/2025 2:22pm Prado had shoulder surgery at the end of January and was back riding in April. He says he is fit and hasn't said counter but any chance he is masking a nagging shoulder problem? Is his previously injured shoulder compounding comfortability on the bike? @ML512

8/28/2025 12:19pm Translation “I’m having trouble getting out of the personal deal I’ve done with Monster and I don’t think I can get away with leaving Kawi before SMX. This is a feeble attempt to try and smooth things over with the team so I can make it somewhat tenable for SMX all whilst taking no personal accountability”
