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…

Optional 2020-2021 Yamaha YZ450F Maps

We have come across a couple more maps that we thought worked well in the 2020-2021 YZ450F.

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…
