Randy Richardson’s World Vet/2021 YZ250F Experience

#WhatTheHelen It started with a text message. Steve Matthes sent a photo to Kris and me Sunday evening, November 1, of a freshly installed MICHELIN® StarCross® 5 Soft front tire along with the comment “World Vet prep”. Ever being the jokester, my quick reply was; “When do I need to fly in?”From there, things escalated really…

2021 Honda CRF250R Baseline Settings/Top Five Mods

My son Aden and I have been riding/racing the 2020 Honda CRF250R for over a year now and since Honda left the 2021 Honda CRF250R unchanged, I decided to get you some notes on some baseline stock settings, as well as some mods that you can do to improve your CRF250R. Some of these settings/mods…

2021 Yamaha YZ450F Baseline Settings/Mods

The 2020 and 2021 Yamaha YZ450F’s are identical minus some different graphics, so this gave me a chance to experiment more with standard settings as well as other aftermarket mods for this machine. For a bike that may get some flak thrown its way in the professional motocross racing world, this Yamaha YZ450F machine has…

Which Bike Is Best For You? 2021 KTM 450 SX-F Vs. Husqvarna FC450

The average shootout format seems to be an outdated model to me. Don’t get me wrong, I like doing shootouts, as well as viewing their rankings after all is said and done, but is it really telling you, the potential consumer, what you want to know or is it more of a scene on the…

2021 Honda CRF450R Initial Baseline Settings/Mods

I have come to find out that Honda didn’t allocate enough 2021 Honda CRF450R’s to dealerships, so if you’re lucky enough to be able to get your hands on one, you may be looking for a couple fixes and a baseline settings for your new red ride! Have no fear as I have been spending…

2021 Kawasaki KX450 Baseline Settings

Engine Feel: Just in case you were trying to decide on if the 2021 KX450 is better than the 2020, even though not much has changed, there is actually a little difference because of the new clutch. The 2020 comes on quicker with a lighter, more free-revving feel and has less engine braking, but the…

On My Own Dime (2021 Honda CRF450R)

I met Dallas Dunn through the hi dez as we sometimes met up at the same places to ride from time to time. As I got to know him more, I could tell he was a quiet, hard working guy, that just loved to ride anything two wheels. Dallas is an accomplished BMX rider as…

2021 Kawasaki KX250 Maps

Here is a map that should be tried with the black coupler. This map will increase pulling power out of area 3 of corners as well as give you more mid-top end stretch in 2-3rd gears.

Optional 2020-2021 Yamaha YZ450F Maps

We have come across a couple more maps that we thought worked well in the 2020-2021 YZ450F. These maps feel completely different from each other, but if you’re looking to change your engine character a little, try either one of these maps for your desired delivery. Smooth out the herky/jerky low end feel when rolling…
