Was checking the Keefer Tested pod cast where he mentions this mod in helping free up the rear suspension on the KTM's. Basically you ditch the KTM axle with the threaded axle block for a new gen CRF rear axle.
Anyone try this mod? If so what were your results?

I don’t understand scientifically how a CRF axel can help suspension. Would be interested to hear.
What I felt switching at the track Back to Back ride , was It felt like about a 1/2 click less LS compression & rebound
was taken from the rear suspension. I also felt it gave a slight bit more ft tire traction.
I went from Honda axle to KTM & immediately switched back to Honda set up.
This mod is very subtle & some may not notice anything. I had the Honda axle laying around & then purchased the Ride blocks . May of not done it other wise.
If you are a rider who can tell a 1psi tire psi change & 1 click of compression try it. But if you are not sensitive you may never notice. & be $100.00 lighter in the wallet after buying the axle, nut ,washer & ride blocks.
