profmur Added a reply to X models on track?
6/10/2026 1:50pm The question was directed at the op to get him talking about about what he's looking for in a new bike. And yes moto suspension is not ideal for off-road. And vice versa. OP is asking for a do it all which usually means you're giving up something in either discipline. Is he going to be 90/10 moto/off-road? 50/50? 10/90...

profmur Added a reply to X models on track?
6/10/2026 11:41am It depends. The KTM 450xcf has a six speed transmission. Kawi and Honda use five speed transmissions in the kx450x and crf450rx models. The x and rx models also have an 18 inch rear wheel, kickstand, and softer suspension valving, which would probably be the biggest difference you'd notice. What's stopping you from riding your current mx bike off-road?

If they get rid of the team management it will solve 75% of the issues….They can’t afford another top rider walking from the team as they will lose the rest of their credibility within the racing community….I personally don’t think Chase will walk if they make the right moves to get better people in leadership positions….If they don’t make any changes then nobody in the top tier will ride for them and they will only attract riders that nobody else wants…

300s, 327s. 350s aren’t even close to 450s.

6/10/2026 6:31am The 327 will be well received in the reviews but will performance be far and away better than other available open class 300 2ts? I am not so sure. The extra 27 CC over Austrian 300s may translate to a bit more acceleration on paper but in a real world scenario, tbd. And perhaps the displacement and transmission ratios require...

6/9/2026 3:40pm How does an arbitrary age limit on 250s make for better racing? Is the argument that older 250 riders are too good? And that the younger 250 riders cannot compete with the older riders?

6/8/2026 12:14pm Ok. That you are having the same issue over multiple brake rotors, would seemingly point to a different root issue and that issue is the thing causing rotors to warp. I think you said the wheel spins freely without caliper attached. If that is true, it's not a seal issue. Have you measured the wheel spacers to see if they...

If it spins free with the brake removed.. you know it's a brake issue and not a bearing issue. Could be sticky caliper pistons as mentioned. More likely sticky caliper pins. Take the caliper off the caliper bracket and clean the pins and pockets well and apply a small amount of disc brake grease. Don't overfill the pockets as this can cause issues. If this doesn't free up the caliper, you may have a bent bracket or bent caliper lugs on the fork foot.

6/7/2026 7:26pm A combined 250 series means half the professional riders as today = more privateers at the gates. The gap in power/performance between a privateer and professional 250 is significant. So now you just reduced professionals racing competitive machines and introduced more lappers. And that is going to equate to better racing?

6/7/2026 10:30am Most of the "Celebrity" riders from other motorcycle disciplines show up to ride the circus sideshow that is the prologue and call it. That must be great, get paid to show up and ride that prologue and then get to hang out and watch the sufferfest.

What a strange post not a single person has claimed Sexton is behaving professionally. To the contrary he's being called every unflattering name in the book and people are saying he should be fired. Unlike last year when a certain group (eurostralians) insisted that Prado's actions were honorable. You guys need to let the Prado thing go. He made an ass of himself last year and Sexton is making an ass of himself this year, both things can be true.

Just wondering if there are any people on here that would be interested in starting a goalpost moving business with me. No experience required. There’d be an abundance of work. Initially we’d focus on the contiguous 48 but may expand internationally. Initial prospects would be Deegan fans but will likely eventually expand to Prado fans. Keep in mind; some of the goalposts will be actual physical objects and others will be psychological so you’ll need to be strong, smart, and charming. Hit me up if interested.

6/7/2026 6:48am You are saying the wheel drag issue first happened with OEM rotor? Then you replaced that with a Tusk rotor and have the same problem? So the same issue over two rotors?

6/6/2026 8:08am There is a difference in the 2t nostalgia crowd vs. the real world buyer. The real world buyers were asking for a 2t product competitive to what's available from other brands (mostly KTM.) That means large bore, balancer, fuel injected, spring fork, e start. I think Kawi delivered on the ask, and based on the volume of deposits reported here...

They are slowly roasting the geese that lay the golden eggs. I've been to countless nationals and have come to the conclusion that it's way better to watch at home with mates. You barbaque next to the swimming pool with cold beers. You have a clean porcelain toilet, you got air-conditioning, and you actually get to see the racing.

People aren't going to like this, but there's zero effort being done to grow the fan base and race attendance... effort is, however, being put into getting more money out of the core fans. "Juice the faithful" is the business model now. It is what it is, but that's definitely what it is.
