2025 Honda CRF450RWE East Coast Baseline Suspension Settings

After spending some time back in the Southeast I have come up with a different setting for the Honda CRF450RWE that I think helps balance the bike out in soft conditions. Unlike Southern California, the softer east coast soil sucks the Honda down, therefore the suspension setting needs to be stiffer even for a 175…

Written By: Michael Allen Not everyone has had the opportunity to experience a new bike introduction, so I consider myself very fortunate to have gotten the call from Kris asking me if I’d like to attend an upcoming event.

Works Connection Aluminum Offset Footpeg Mounts (Yamaha YZ250F/450F)

The Yamaha YZ250F/450F cockpit still just feels a little tight to me. I still feel cramped even though Yamaha changed their footpeg offset on the YZ450F in 2023 and in 2024 the YZ250F followed.
