If you read my review of the Raptor offset pegs for the Yamaha YZ450F you know that I am a fan of the -5mm down/back pegs as well as the -7mm down setting. However, there hasn’t been anyone yet that is making the offset from the mount for the consumer. The Star Racing Yamaha guys…

Yes, we know it is tough to get a full muffler system at this point in time as COVID has screwed a lot of inventory up. However, you can find slip on mufflers as FMF has been busy getting product back in stock! We recently tried a dual injector kit on the Yamaha YZ250F and…
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…
I am not a huge seat bump guy, but when Ryan Nitzen of Corner Coach gave me this removable seat bump, I thought it was a pretty good damn idea. The Corner Coach is the only adjustable and removable option that allows riders to choose the position of the seat bump. Need to sit farther…
The Twisted Development exhaust flanges are shaped differently than the stock OEM flange, which can change the engine character of the new KTM 450 SX-F. We went through several during testing and found out a size/shape that can actually enhance the low to mid range power character. Compared to the stock piece the TD Performance…
I am usually not one to switch up engine mounts too much, but I have tried some in the past that actually have made certain machines more compliant and friendlier to ride. Works Chassis Labs has been making engine mounts for a few years now and supply some of the teams you see in the…

How do you know if you’re a crossbar type of rider or a non crossbar type of rider? Maybe you don't care? Sometimes it’s just by what you feel is most comfortable but other times it’s off of feel. I use…
Something that came across my desk the other day that I thought was interesting was the NuAxle Adjustable Offset Axle. The NuAxle allows you to adjust the steering and handing of your motorcycle with just a turn of the axle, using the indicating notch on the large end of the axle. The NuAxle comes with…
There are many types of aftermarket parts that are easy to improve upon with stock motorcycles, but there are also some that are pretty damn good in production form (like the new 2022.5 KTM Factory Edition footpegs). Some people don’t realize how much goes into making a stock footpeg work so well, but trust me…
So the new 2022.5 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition has gained seven pounds from the standard 2022 version. If you want to knock off almost two pounds of that with a muffler system and get some added power in the mid range look no further than the FMF 4.1 RCT Full System. Yes, that’s right…
