2020.5 Husqvarna FC450 Rockstar Edition First Impression

Yesterday kicked off new bike season and it was Husqvarna that was first out of the gate. The 2020 Husqvarna FC450 Rockstar Edition launch was held at Glen Helen Raceway and it turned out to be great test day as a lot of the West Coast 250 Supercross riders came out to get their outdoor…

Pirelli MX32 Mid-Soft Re-Visit

Yamaha YZ125 Pipe/Silencer Comparison (Pro Circuit Vs. FMF)

For over 10 years the YZ125 engine has remained the same. At one time it was the best 125cc engine around, but in recent years that award has gone to KTM/Husqvarna. KTM and Husqvarna’s latest 125cc engines have a wider powerband and is simply more exciting everywhere on the track. Compared to the KTM and…

“On My Own Time” (Fly Racing Lite Hydrogen)

Time… It’s something more precious than any amount of money. When you get older time becomes more valuable and as you all know when you get older there seems to be less time in the day to get things done. When at the track, I get asked questions like “what do you ride on your…

CCR Sport Sprinter Pro Track Moto Kit

People always ask me “Hey Keefer, when you going to build the inside of your Mercedes Sprinter Van”? I always come back with “I am not rich and I don’t have that kind of money”. Sure I would love to get some cabinets for chemicals and a tire rack in there, but I am not…

2020 KTM SX-E 5

Electric motocross technology is not anything new. It has been in the off-road world for quite sometime, but getting one of the major five manufacturers to get on board with it has been somewhat difficult. Until now… My son’s first two wheeled motorcycle was an Oset electric trials bike and that proved to be the…

2020 Kawasaki KX250 Top 5 Mods

Kawasaki did a great job for 2020 on improving the KX250’s overall engine character as well as getting a much better suspension spec.

Twin Air Power Flow Filter Kit (Yamaha YZ450F)

If you want to get rid of the somewhat janky stock air filter cage system of the 2018-2020 YZ450F, go with the Twin Air Power Flow Filter Kit. To me the Twin Air YZ450F PowerFlow kit is the best all-around filter system for the YZ450F airbox. Why? With this kit, Twin Air replaces the stock…
