John Tomac 100% said they wanted to go in a direction with the bike, and kawi said no.

I understood it that both he and Anderson went down. No one would be able to ride around something that isn't right. Chase had to get KYB suspension. Tomac falls back to 7-8 if his rear isn't setup correctly. Jett just took a third because shock setting was off. AP took a fifth with setup in wrong direction from first moto as he called it. Hunter went to being over a minute behind when they went to the new bike last year. These guys has been on those bikes for years. This "just ride through it its easy" is as...

Have you ever seen a stock bike win races or championships? No? Oh ok. Are anyone of those guys candidates for winning races? Oh no. Jett had to take a third because he set up his shock wrong. AP went to fifth for second moto because he changes his setup and it was wrong direction. Please. Your logic is off the charts.

AC and Anderson has been complaining about he bike years back, Including power. Tomac left because of it. Not even factory Yamaha couldnt make the power the riders wanted, until Star took over the program. You make it sound like you just throw a lot of parts on the bike and suddenly you have torque and HP exactly where it is needed, without having a bike that overheats or risk failure. Prado probably have both dyno numbers and curves from previous bikes. Or you think Prados only statement to team was "I want a fast bike thank you".

You feel like he made that as an excuse? He didn’t exactly say he’d be at the front if his bike was faster. He accepted he’s not where he needs to be, said he’s a ways off the front guys and it’s not good enough. Asked about the bike said he wants more power. Also had positives to say. And had a cool, calm demeanour the whole time, like a multi time world champ would. There isn’t really much more to it.

So you know its not the bike? Literally every world class rider is super sensitive to bike setup. If you have a certain riding style, everything is connected to that. Suspension, chassi, engine is connected. If one thing is off, the other two will be off. You are not going to go back to a standard setup on the chassi and suspension to try and make that work, and hope you can get on the podium with that, when you have a bag of championships and know how you want the bike to be working. Try to make it rideable...

You should be in a muzzle in public.

Hinson BTL clutch, was the biggest improvement I made after a huge fork fix. Really unbinds the suspension thru the decel and braking bumps.

That is every thread I post in, Dawg

Chase quitting on purpose is one of the most idiotic things ever posted on this forum…

I'm sorry, for some reason I was under the impression that if you were going to attack someone's character that you should have some kind of basis for it. What you and a few others are insinuating is that Chase cares so little for the people around him that he's willing to screw over his team and all of the people that make his program happen (mechanics, truck drivers, engine builders, sponsors, etc) because of some imaginary beef he has with KTM management, that's a pretty damning accusation to make and I don't think I'm on my own island thinking...

They had to update the DRZ because the prior model didn't meet Euro25 emissions standards and couldnt be sold.

This is a big factor. If I have a cheat meal I feel like crap, upset stomach on the toilet or not even able to go. Same as you can take days to clear up.
