To 250 Four Stroke or Not To 250 Four Stroke

Written By: Michael Allen Some things in life are the way they are because they are that way; the sun is hot, the ocean is deep and gravity hurts. Moto also has things that just are the way they are; the smell of two-stroke race gas on cool days, early mornings bringing fond memories to…

2022 Kawasaki KX450 Baseline Settings

Engine Feel: Just in case you were trying to decide on if the 2022 KX450 is better than the 2021, don’t stress because it’s the same bike! The 2022 engine character has great connection to the rear wheel, a smooth linear power that is smooth with snappy low end response, yet never seems like it…

2022 Yamaha YZ250F Baseline Settings

The 2022 Yamaha YZ250F doesn’t have the changes on paper that you would like, but the bLU cRU did do some minor updates to help try and lighten the YZ250F up some. Yamaha lightened up the hub, sprocket, chain and they installed a 2.15 rear rim (instead of the 1.85 2021 rear rim), as well…
