I wonder why the Pro Circuit Kawasaki bikes are the mostly the ones who seem to always have engine blow up issues at Nationals...happened a few times last year and happening again this year. Seems to be rarely anything happening to the Star Yamahas, Geico Hondas, Rockstar Huskies, JGR Suzukis or TLD KTMs....are the KXF250F's just not strong enough to handle additional power despite probably having stronger aftermarket internals?

Or maybe false neutral and it backfired?
Found the comment the Team put on instagram.
PC have always pushed the limit, and this happens sometimes,
Most teams have had a bad run, Team HOnda lost a heap of motors at southwick one year,
apart from last weekend, i dont think they have had a failure all year, but did have a few last year, early in the season,
It's crazy to think of the modifications and how are those motors are ridden. I look at my stock 450 and see 84 hours on the meter and think "It'll be good to the 100 mark no problem" and factory teams are replacing after 45 minutes. haha
Pit Row
KTM does it with higher rpm and YZ does it with the reversed engine
You can pour all the money you want it, sometimes things just happen. PC issues last year were a supplier issue, so could have easily been that again. GEICO engine issues last year were worrisome, but again, we're pumping nearly 50+ hp from a 250F at high RPMs, things are bound to get fragile at some point.
the dang 250 four bangers can't even hold the motor together for a full moto
I remember hearing about Anderson and Osborne doing burnouts at Vegas this year, and only the 450 expired.
Many manufacturers bikes pop. As mentioned, double pop for TKO last weekend. Husqpoppa.
