Trying to compare a 20-year-old bike and tech to a new machine is a stretch. A bike that is light and feels light are totally different. Look at the Stark, heavy but feels light when moving. The old Husaberg had the crack super-high and the cylinder pointed forward, yet it felt really light once it got rolling. The location of...

Are you riding a 2025 RC or a 2016 X model? If you are riding the 2026, its the upper engine mounts that are causing this sensation. I just tested both back to back and yes, the straight line bump feel is slightly better with the 26 mounts on square edged hits, but when the bike is leaning and under...

I disagree, I parked my 24 KX that I fully built for the Triumph. For us average (Non Pro) riders, I think the Triumph is a very forgiving bike and is way easier to ride longer than my KX. I loved my KX before I spent time on the Triumph. As for setup, heavier and faster riders, add 10cc to...

Here is one from Ride Engineering - 30% is a good sale

Mammoth does a great job running the race but the only issue I had while racing this year was they water the track during the race, not between the races. I know during my race I came around one lap and a corner went from normal to glossy wet in one lap and I was sliding all over the place...

I hope its good. Just depends if they cover the "TRUE" history of Supercross or will it be a stroke piece to help boost the sport. There were some areas, meaning the HISTORY of SX that have some dark spots and some feuds over who owned the name "Supercross", the fact it was sold a bunch of times over the...

Yep - prices in the same section we had last year were 80 TO $180. JUST got nose bleed and then we will just stand for the main events. Or just sit in the empty $180 seats - LOL

OEMs do not make much on the sale of a bike if any - yet they make their profit on parts they sell during the life of that bike. Magazines have done this in the past - they figured out the price if you had to buy each part to build an entire bike separate. Probably 30K to buy every...

Very strong Bottom End, will probably run for hours wide open

Yes, 19-23 clamps will work but some of them do not work as well. I helped with a little of the testing for Ride Eng. and they did have to make specific clamps to make improvements on the 24-25 KX450. Entering, exiting turns, tracking through rutted turns as well as changing directions is what most riders felt improvements compared to...

Check part numbers, if you look, you will see the ECU is a different part number for 2025. Its probably programmed to accept a wider range from the tuner app. The stock boxes can be jailbroke on the 2024. The 2025 stock ECU will probably cost more than a Vortex.

I did mine for $40. Maybe not as cool looking but does the job if you are looking to just get ride of that monster of hose clamps on the 24-25. just ran 19-23 elbow off Ebay and an OEM hose for $15

The only thing you had to cover was your wallet because$ keeps flying out if you race Mammoth - LOL. Little more expensive this year, but everything is these days. Only odd things was you paid for practice the day before the race but you could not ride practice until you paid again to get in the gate. Here is...

Former pro Donnie Emler started a small company called Flying Machine Factory in the early 70s (FMF) A guy in a movie ran a motorcycle shop and started MSR, which was huge before it was sold. Malcolm Smith Eddie Cole, former racer started Answer Racing and Pro Taper Jim O'neal, (Gear and parts distributor) Mary Tripes, Catering and mushroom business...

I have been told the 2024 is restricted to meet 2025 Euro sound requirements. Kaw did not want to make big changes after one year and they did not want to have to build two different versions, one for Europe and and another for US, Canada and select other countries. The airbox and muffler are all to meet sound. I...

Talk to your dealer, they are all different. One dealer said the rebate was already included in the discounted price. Or they add fees on top of the offer. The dealership does not get $ back, they get a parts credit to their parts department, at least that is what I was told. Just make calls and make sure you...

If you want to give credit where credit is due, you must look at the rider who kind of started it all, Joel Robert. He was as smooth as could be an stood in the corners more than anyone, (but he had to because the bikes were shit) Even the great Marty Tripes, who kind of scrubbed way back in...

on the 2019-23 wheel, the 450x rear rotor is 240mm, I ran that setup on my 2022 off the X model.

I love that track and it was my Go-To, but I too stopped going because of the prep. The last 4 times I went, the prep sucked, over water in the morning and was not fun to ride. Have not been there with the new reverse layout.

3D printing is here and it can be used for production in small numbers, like 400 dirt bikes for sure. They can print carbon, aluminum, steel, Ti, composites, alloys. There is a place in So Cal that has printers large enough to print a dirt bike frame in one piece. They make suspension components chassis competes. The place has been...
