I've been watching you ride the ZOOK for a few weeks now and I've made note of a coupl'a things. I even went out on an RMZ to confirm my suspicions about how different it is than the '16 Honda.
1. Dude, this thing TURNS with A LOT LESS EFFORT than the CRF. So...that might explain some of these turn-tuck-dive issues that you've had.
2. Soooooo much torque. You can go thru the whoops a gear higher than a lot other bikes: it's like a Diesel waaaaay down low in the rev's. RC's personal bike looks and sounds even torquier than most well built RMZs that I've seen.
3. For a bike that's "supposedly" Heavy: it sure jumps well.
4. Stalling: there's only one way I can figure out how this is happening...You must be launching it outta turns with a bit of clutch and losing some of your free-play at the lever? 'Cause, that's the ONLY way I can get it to stall.
Obviously, I'm NOWHERE NEAR AS FAST AS YOU; but, I do ride and I do test. I'm really, really hoping for a Mookie-RMZ podium.
So, those are my observations. I hope you get the bike more dialed every week and get to the front!

"Thanks for taking the time and effort to go out and test the zook on my behalf. I'll be sure to take note of your observations and apply them, as well as pass them along to the crew working tirelessly for me. Perhaps you could train me, if you can find the spare time?"
Sincerely, Mookie.
Tongue in cheek, TeamGreen. Just having some fun.
I agree with your found results and commend you on your abilities to arrive at noted conclusions. However, what reigns supreme over the TeamGreen Shootout is the size of your nuts.
One must rock a set of dumptruck size balls to post that on here- knowing full well the buckets of shit currently being be filled and headed your way.
Well done sir- You are indeed the man.

Would you recommend am rmz450 to a novice who is really bad at cornering, but has always ridden yamahas so he feels like he might be missing out on a lot of potential corner speed? Asking for a friend.

Thanks for your thoughtful input, I regret to inform you that all the current bikes turn well at your speed
"no disrespect intended"
I will ride and you can keep sniffing carbon fiber resins.
Peace

SUSZUKI IS FASTEST BIKE. HE SHOED RIDE BIG BOAR RM100 THATS THE RARIST SUSZUKI THEY MAKE
Please do a "Dear Team Green!" This would be much bigger than the "Dear Mathis" and "Dear Mookie" will ever be...
...Just sayin'
Good job!
Could you please curtail your bike testing activities and get back to making more end caps and muffler housings for me.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation, DL

Why did my KTM's and Honda's crash, stall, and behave erratically, too?
