It would be interesting to ask Trey if he thinks he could have gone faster safer knowing what he knows now with bike setup. My local RG3 guy said to me a well setup bike is faster and safer, at the time I thought dam that's a great marketing line but he was right on my CRF450 I have a lot less oh shit moments with the suspension I run now.
Frame might flex better, but it looks like it still wants to turn on a dime and for myself that is not a good thing. From what I can see in the video it seem like you don't trust it for that reason, especially on a slick track. Still dreaming of them making a stable bike like they use too. Thinking that's a pipe dream anymore.
crazy that the up hill double looks scarier then godzilla from this POV. those 2 jumps are some of the coolest in the circuit. would love some 3rd person peppered in these vids too at some point. good stuff Keefer!!!
@Keeferinctesting how do I get my foot in the door testing I'm a pro lvl racer im very experienced in all departments. Ive noticed theres so many racers that dont even know the basic fundamentals of how an engine works or even suspension. Not saying im the holy grail but im confident. That i could really could improve products and give proper feedback and analytics moving forward if needed hit me with a few questions ill give my best observation with. Little info. 😊
Start by posting some bike content to prove your ability. You don’t have anything on your RU-vid page. I’d suggest building it kinda like it’s your resume.
Although this looks like a fun day of riding, when it comes to “testing” a new bike you couldn’t possibly give accurate feedback whether it be positive or negative. They always ride on tracks that are smoother than what we drive our cars on. Go somewhere rough and do a legitimate test.
The price of these exhausts is getting out of hand. Cost of production of these things is no more than $200. I think the consumers are just flipping the bill for the race teams that use this exhausts for free as they’re sponsored by the brand.
what's a top bloke always got time to listen to trey humble well spoken intelligent and was fucking quick and probably still is , i wish him all the best in life
So good to hear from TC, and that Byrner is riding and helping out with testing, he was always good at setting bikes up here in Aus back in the day, him and Andy McFarlane (RIP) "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" 😁
Something never talked about on the honda is the top end, I'm guessing because it was unusable on the old chassis. I'm curious if the new chassis actually make the whole spectrum of throttle usable now that the frame might be a little less reactive. Something I'm curious to hear about after you've rode this back on the west coast in firm and choppy stuff, anyway. Stoked, thanks for all your insights, brother
If only Suzuki would take input from Roczen and update the bike in a similiar fashion, the world would be a better place. I read your write up on the RMZ-250 and I’m either going to build one up or just buy the 25 Honda, looking forward to more in depth CRF250R content.
Pretty wild to see grass growing in the straight away!! Can't wait to attend the Ironman next month - Will be my 5th year in a row, such a fun event and great track!
Good video. One important thing that is often overlooked in all these suspension clicker videos is that the "rebound" adjuster is not just a rebound adjuster. The rebound clicker is actually a bypass circuit on production shocks that come on these bikes. It affects the rebound and compression by the same amount of "clicks". The fluid flows from the end of the shaft to rebound chamber on comp stroke and to the compression chamber on rebound stroke, so adjusting "rebound" by 2 clicks and changing the bleed area at the needle for rebound means that there is the exact same amount of bleed area added to compression. This cannot be stopped unless a check valve is installed in the shaft or rebound separator nut is used. The bleed through the shaft is also much larger than the bleed through the low speed adjuster circuit and has a much larger effect on compression. Very important to remember this when tuning your suspension.
8 hour clutch plates, new rod on an engine at 30 hours.....what a money pit. My 2022 Kawi kx450x is at 90 hours and all i have done is change the oil at 4-6 hours and fill the gas tank.
@@themodifiedlife2774 It does not add any more power. The TA PF kit has better sealing but if you have a 3D printed cage already and had good luck with that, keep it.
After years of riding KTM I bought one of these and Kris absolutely nailed every plus/minus point..great bike all round very easy to ride, change the Bars and then grips to ODI lock on.The chain is garbage, change it immediately but everything else seems pretty bulletproof.
