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.

Which Bike Is Best For You? 2021 Yamaha YZ450F Vs. Kawasaki KX450

The average shootout format seems to be an outdated model to me.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…

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…

2021 Honda CRF450R First Ride Impression

The most anticipated motocross bike of the year is finally here and I actually get to speak openly about it! Hallelujah! The 2021 CRF450R looks nothing like last year’s model and on the track it’s quite a bit different as well. Instead of going over all the change points in this article, you can do…

80 Hours On The 2020.5 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition

Written By: Colton Aeck As some of you might know, I’ve been racing Supercross and Motocross for the past few years as a privateer. The privateer grind can be tough and sometimes it can take the fun out of racing. This past January I broke my back in a practice crash while prepping for Oakland…

2021 Kawasaki KX450 First Phase Mods

We have documented a lot of evaluations to the 2020 Kawasaki KX450 right here on Keefer Inc., but I haven’t personally been a part of some of those tests. At times I am simply too busy on other projects, but for 2021 I am going to be personally doing some mods to the 2021 KX450…

2021 Kawasaki KX450 First Impression

2021 isn’t a ground breaking year for Kawasaki’s KX450, but it did get a couple key changes that make a difference on the track. Kawasaki put more of its R&D focus on the KX250 in 2021 with several changes. I mean the 2020 KX450 was on the podium in almost every media shootout, so a…
