Shredding my OLD 2022 Race Bike...Will it Become my NEW Race Bike?? 

Day 115 of Cheering on Jeff: GO JEFF!

Looking good Jeff! I’ve got to say personally the 22 KTM is the best bike i’ve ever owned/ridden, It’s such a good machine 🙌

I would like to additionally add your lookin like your old self again man, shredding hard. Over the front attacking. Should be a solid outdoor season if you decide to go back in time with the chassis.

I dont know if its just me but i feel like i can see some of that 2022 speed through the camera

It’s always a good day when Jeff posts 🔥💯❤️

KTM is the KING of offroad. They have won the most supercross & motocross championships out of any manufacturer in the last 20 years. and have dominated enduro 25 years in a row. DOMINANT 🍊💯 KTM MX2 World Championships: 2003 2004 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2022 2023 🔥🍊💯 KTM MXGP World Championships: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2017 2018 2021 2023 🔥🍊💯 KTM Supercross 450 Championships: 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2021 🔥🍊💯 KTM Has won an incredible 64 out of 81 Motos this year at loretta lynns. Pure DOMINATION. this once again proves that KTM is the best Motocross & Enduro manufacturer on the planet. KINGS 🔥👑🍊🧡💯

Just some random suggestions: 1. Do you do any hand eye speed drills? 2. Do you train with faster riders? 3. Do you train at a variety of tracks? 4. Do you train on trials bikes, pit bikes, or BMX to work your bike skills? I seem to remember a vid of you doing BMX awhile back. Be like McGrath, he started in BMX. Deegan does a lot of pitbikes. BMX trains efficiency and corner speed as does a 125. Pitbikes helps with jumping skills and saving the O'sh.t moments. Trials helps with bikes skills, line choice, and also the O'sh.ts. 5. Do you do any martial arts or gymnastics ( Works your crash landing skills and hand eye. :-) ). 6. Have you tried hitting up a MX school to analyze your riding? Moto Academy has had the Lawrence's, Plessinger, Musquin, etc. as guest instructors. Good luck.

The factory Ktm team can’t even figure out the bike and it’s been 2 years. I don’t understand why you would even make the move. Entire purpose of moving to a different bike is because of speed. You have a big enough following to ride every single manufacturer on the same track. I know you might not be in a financial position but your forgetting your one of the biggest moto channels there is. Get out the comfort zone and start making moves on this business that needs riders

I just got a 250 sxf 2024 and that bile absolutely rips!!!

​ @JeffWalker84 Well I am curently on the same issue as you. But on the other side of the big puddle. The 2024 km is just too stiff and a lot of guys struggle with it. We are all A+ semi-pro riders... I would consider buying the new more flexible ktm which is much more soft and 2022 like Wishing you good luck

Had a similar experience in DH/Enduro MTB racing after being with one company for 4 years as I was trying to establish myself as a Pro. Was crashing a ton and not feeling myself on the bike. Confidence was super low and it was hard not to blame it on myself but I had a hunch it had to do with the bike and it’s geometry. Took a chance and bought a bike with another design philosophy and everything clicked, I started enjoying riding a lot more and going faster. Seems like a similar deal here. Trust that feeling man!

Day 372 of commenting until Jeff responds or heart my ccoment

The sound this thing makes. INSANE. The GasGas machines are growing on me. With these Red Bull Sony Pictures graphics it looks so good.

Jeff you need to race in actual races instead of being king of the practice tracks because you will only improve through racing and getting your confidence back, all the best gaz

I like the when the helmet cam videos end with Paul Walker and you talking about bike changes

Mmmm og chassis. Honest to god. That 22 chassis is THE BEST chassis ktm ever produced to DATE. I miss mine. I’m happy with what I have and wouldn’t change the fact I went yamaha but that 22 ktm was the definition of perfect chassis ergos for me. Vanilla engine. Chassis does whatever you want it to with a little input. Just a solid solid bike.

What happened to racing supercross?

Have you thought about doing the Canadian series? Or even a couple rounds? Would be a change of scenery and experience and more than likely a good confidence boost

time to get your hands on a 2024.5 ktm and test that.

Always good to keep an eye on the guy in the mirror, but you either gel with a bike setup or you don’t…Your too good/fast to be searching on a bike that isn’t quite right out of the box to begin with. Im sure “trust” in your bikes handling is everything at your level. 💯

Jeff I really hate to say placebo effect. I don’t want to think that’s what’s happening here. Gotta believe in you man. You’re an absolute beast on the dirt scooter man. Takes guts to line up next to the best in the world. Don’t forget that through all of what happened last year you were able to qualify and race pro. Something most people can’t do. You’re a fuckin unit bro don’t forget it. You have to keep that mentality going and when you get that momentum carry it. We’re supporting you and hope this summer is huge for team walker.

Idk really hard to beat the way you rode that 24 kx450... you had that thing on rails. It's not hard to get more out of that motor either!!

ill keep watching till the day I die 😤

Watching you this year on your KTM. You looked like you're constantly fighting it. Especially when i saw you in person. On this youre just flowing. It's like the bike is an extension of you. Like how you used to be on The Honda!

I have a 2023 350sxf and recently done the ride engineering axle blocks with the yz axle swap. It really seems to have calmed down the side to side kick in the rear end, hope this helps! Keep shredding 🤙🏼

I made the change from a 23’ 250f gasgas to a 2024 YZ250F and this was the best choice i could make. Get some more time on the newer yamahas. It will amaze you. Atleast it did to me. Cheers

Gas gas rips

I graduated MMI with Mitch Gerwin. I use to ride hard rock, pax, bithlo and Lakeland with him. Cool to see he still doing your suspension.

Man that bike looks fast..

So you like the old chassis then?

I don't know about the United States but here in Australia you can still get a brand new 2022 mc450 for a good price.

great video again. only the sound without music. like this so much. Best from Germany !

Ive been considering using turbo speed tuning for a revalve. Anyone around that area have any feedback about them for a softer moto/harescramble do it all kinda vet setup? Thx

24.5 factory edition bike has fixed 2023 chassis. way better

Newer is not always better. Companies definitely take a step backwards by accident with new designs from time to time.

I dont think the new ktm is good and ktm know it, every person i see on the new chassis just look like they're unconfortable on the bike.

Can definitely notice you seem more comfortable and faster on this bike.

Sounds like like all ktm gas gas guys i know Bam bam wants his older bike for sure

I really wish you could get on a factory bike. Just once

Have you ever thought of buying a kawi? Even though they dont have the best quality

The van build is nice it makes me wanna build out my trailer too lol

Could literally tell the difference in the first 5 seconds of you riding it hard

You are not slow brother 😂 i wish i could ride like you 😅

Smooth! 🥵🥵 Make it look so effortless

Did I hear, oh, ooh oh s$#! ? A little front wheel high at the end?

Just as an outside observation i think you look super sketchy and all over the place on this bike campared to how you looked on the Honda or kawi videos you just did. Entering the corners your arms and bars are just going everywhere right to left as you try to get into the corners, were the other bikes there wasnt so much correction and over correction, but like i said that is just a recliner view from a potatoe on a bike.😂

I have a question to ask you. How long did you ride your current KTM in stock form before you added all of your aftermarket parts? They say that 23-24 chassis takes at least 10 hours of break-in time. If you went straight to aftermarket parts, then put it back to stock and work from there. Your riding is not the problem as you totally rip it out there. The first ride on my 2023.5 FC 450 Rockstar Edition was stiff as all get out. It gets better with each ride, and I have not even touched the suspension yet. I am still in the breaking in the chassis stage.

never knew you rode gas gas

Day 1 of cheering on Jeff go jeff

I find it very impressive you can just jump on different bikes and rip laps Jeff. I always had problems with that and not being comfortable.

DEFINITELY looking the fastest on that platform I’ll support whatever you decide❤️

Had over 300 Hours on the previous gen ktm 450 chassis. Amazing bike. Tried the 23 ktm 450, put about 30 hours on it. Also tried everything from A-kit you name it. Could not get comfortable on the bike and felt super sketch trying to go fast. Sold it and bought a 23 yz450. Best bike I have ever rode. Have over 100 hours on the yz with Enzo suspension and it is amazing. Also rode the 24 Kawi 450 and was very impressed. Probably the best stock bike I have ever ridden

Looking great on the kawi and the gas gas. I know when theres multiple bumps in the road and bad things happen you start to doubt yourself but man you’ve got more to prove. The only thing that will help you improve is seat time, technique work and most importantly staying hungry to do better so keep up the great work. Side note will you be making a video after deciding what bike you’ll race and your training plans for outdoors?

Hey mate what setup you running on your forks, you have a cartridge kit? if so what one, was looking into kyb a kit conversion, ive got a 22 gas gas aswell

I have a 22 frame 250 and I also have a 23 250 and by far the 23 is better, did take a bit to setup but has way more power than 22. Interesting that the 450s went backwards tho

You know I was wondering why you switched from turbo to TCD maybe switch back 🤷🏼‍♂️ could be something mental with the switch

Recently (6 months ago) switched to the 2023 ktm 450, and man has it been a ride. I cannot get used to it, granted I am not as fast as you but the struggles are real. I have an 04 ktm 250sx that I’d ride 100x before that 450. I am trying everything possible at this point to make it better for me personally

Sometimes change is a good thing and sometimes change is a bad thing. But I do know that if your not comfortable and don’t trust the bike your performance will reflect it

I think you’ll do much better on your new bike. It seems to handle much better. Good luck in outdoors bro and your look pretty good on the GasGas.💯🤙🙏✌️🇺🇸👍👊

its loop

It feels you had better "luck" with the 450..IMO. 250 is expensive with all mods. 450 is the way to go

Have you been training at least 3 days a week? Physically? And on the track? Being a top athlete kind of means you have to train like no one else. Think about what you are expecting out of yourself... would you expect to walk on a football field or basketball court and keep up? This sport is no different..

Either race this one or find a current model year bike that works for you like that 2024 kx450 you rode. A little head work, ecu, exhaust and A-kit suspension and I bet the kx would probably be your dream race bike

Why dont you do some actual races? Ofcourse youre going to feel faster each time you ride the same track over and over.

Thank god 🙏. Im so happy for Jeff. Finally! I believe the 2022 Gas Gas is the greatest bike for that year. 2nd in the shootouts. Only yamaha beat the GasGas. So phucking awesome Jeff is not "meshing" with a brand. Time to get real. Great job Jeff.😊😊

Go Jeff

Jeff you gotta try out the new Husqvarna 450

I tried to follow you and try to keep up as much as i could but still 15sec a lap off. Track was way rough at the beginning then dusty at the end of the day made it slick. You looked pretty comfortable on the bike.

You feel so good that you're making those confidence mistakes 🤣❤

Hey man invest in some businesses and just enjoy the dirtbike life for fun 🤙

its good to see you back on a gas gas shredding like you were before

I say switch to the 24 kawi! Best thing I have done!

I wonder and is that video in ~1.15x speed?

your channel is so underrated. u deserve far more subscribers💯

Love the vids man! Glad you're keeping at it

Better flow around the track 👍

You got this bro rip it slip it and pull it ✊🏻

I ride that same track!

bro this cam is insane

Nice Minnesota Wild hat!

Hey Jeff do you change your sag on a sand track verse hard pack track?

Bro you should def ride gasgas, never saw you going so fast on a bike you’ve never ridden. Imagine if you would really be one with this bike

dang bro, butter

do you use a chest mount for your insta360?

Would be interesting to see a lap time comparison of each of the bikes you tested with a pros and cons of each. Then a final decision on what you'll ride this year and why. Would be a neat video.

What twin wall bar bend do you run Jeff? 👏🤦‍♂️

ride red

LET'S GOOOO

Look fast🤘🏼

this guy never fails to shred no matter the bike keep it up man

Personally I think u looked better on the Yamaha Jeff . Imagine if u had a Yamaha and was able to set it up to your likings ! I think you owe that to ur self .

Why don't you try out the triumph??? Could be a game changer 🤷‍♂️

Absolute ripsnorting on that gasser Jeff, animal 🦍

Good stuff

What track

I'm amazed at how little you touch the clutch when braking. Do you have a Rekluse? Or are you just that soft with the rear brake that you don't worry about stalling?

You ever ridden Suzuki?

There’s a dealership near me that still has the previous gen mc450s that are left overs

get off the ktm/husky/gas gas bikes and enjoy riding again. Maybe yamaha, or kawasaki.

I'm struggling to get back to my old speed. I was high B, low A rider on a 250f and then didn't ride for 7 years. On a 450 now and it's been 1.5 yrs on it and still can't get back to that old speed. Maybe it's bike set up. Maybe I'm just older. But either way I cannot ride a 450 as fast as a 250f
