I think it's from the nut that connects the foot pegs to the handlebars.

I seem to recall someone with Kawasaki saying that unlike most riders (who aim to make 450’s powerful but easier to ride), Eli basically wants as much power as they can get him. Don’t recall where I heard this though.

Also they said everytime he goes out he gets a fresh clutch just about, he is very hard on the clutch. Wide open + mucho clutch slippage = some nasty braapage out of corners as you have noticed.

Eli certainly is a beast with the throttle. Kind of like a super improved Barcia.....but he makes it work real good. I dig his riding skills , fun to watch.

He always seems to really hookup when he’s on the gas

they had a feature on vegas sx showing a bike on dyno. it was either anderson or tomac, can't recall exactly.
but for a split second the showed the dyno screen, i cant say for sure if it was HP numbers but it did say 69. thats quite a bit more than stock, but definitely doable

This. He's just better than the rest. If he could only keep it together. Needs to pay Reed to coach him on consistency.

Its his technique. Most corners he keeps both feet on the pegs. He pushes down with them allowing the shock to work which is why he gets so much drive. Similar to RV.

Eli watched some vids of Viilipoto and figured out how the big Kawi likes to be ridden. About 15 feet before the apex your right wrist goes to the wfo setting.

I heard from a reliable source that he has a 3 cables factory throttle, no backward all forward. He looks confortable with it.

a good suspension setting will do more for traction out of a corner than a lot of hp. plus he's probably the guy with the fastes cornerspeed out there due to his technic.

if Kawasaki doesn't make his bike the fastest he whines and cries about it
