YZ 250/450F Brembo Brake Mod (Re-Visit)

So are you tired of that spongey feeling stock Yamaha brake? Since I get to ride all the bikes, I would have to say that the Brembo system is one of the best feeling brakes out of all the MX machines. However, a little mix and matching can get you a more linear feel than…

Why A KTM 250 SX-F FMF Megabomb Headpipe Is Better On A KTM 350 SX-F

I originally posted a photo of a KTM 250 SX-F FMF Megabomb headpipe mated to a KTM 350 SX-F 4.1 FMF muffler and my DM’s flooded with questions. Why does it do? Why stick the 250 headpipe on the 350? Normally when you purchase an aftermarket muffler system you usually get a smoother roll…

MAKO 360 Handlebar Mount

Tested/Written By: Victor Guerrero and Kris Keefer INSTALL: We followed the written directions that were provided by XC Gear and for the most part the directions were pretty straight forward.

Yoshimura RS-12 Stainless System (2024 KX450)

Written By: Eddie Laret/Kris Keefer We all know Kawasaki left a lot of room for improvement on the muffler side of things on the 2024 Kawasaki KX450. We have tried a number of mufflers to help increase the low end torque and have been happy with a couple. The latest muffler we tested was…

Akrapovic Evolution Muffler System (2024 Kawasaki KX450)

The Akrapovic Evolution muffler system is one of the most beautiful looking systems out there in the market today, is well built, and has quality welds all the way around it.

Twin Air Powerflow Kit (2024 KX450)

The 2024 Kawasaki KX450 in stock form isn’t a rocketship. In fact, it’s downright slow in the world of 450 mx machines.
