Pro Circuit Link Arm (2020 Yamaha YZ450F)

I have tried links in the past on previous generation YZ450F’s with less than stellar results, but since Yamaha changed the frame on the 2020 machine, I thought I would revisit a link to see if it helps improves the Yamaha’s feel around the track. Pro Circuit's linkage arms are CNC-machined from billet aluminum and…

Sunstar Works Triplestar Sprocket

Sunstar is the largest OEM supplier of motorcycle and all terrain vehicle (ATV) sprockets and brake discs in the world. In fact, if you’re on a Japanese machine most likely it came from the factory with Sunstar. Sunstar offers the Works Triplestar combination that is lightweight, looks good, and from what I found out recently,…

2020 Husqvarna TE 300i First Impression

By: Michael Allen In a world where most people think that two strokes are dead and four strokes rule, there is one company (or two depending on how you look at them) that has continued to progress two stroke technology. Husqvarna is one of three (KTM, Husky, and TM) motorcycle manufacturers who have released fuel…

Ride Engineering Performance Link (KTM 125SX)

My son loves riding his 2020 KTM 125SX, but comments all the time on how he feels like the KTM sits taller than his Yamaha YZ125. When I watch him ride I notice that the rear end of his 125SX kicks him in his ass when hitting braking bumps and when that happens, it makes…

2020.5 Husqvarna FC450 Rockstar Edition First Impression

Yesterday kicked off new bike season and it was Husqvarna that was first out of the gate. The 2020 Husqvarna FC450 Rockstar Edition launch was held at Glen Helen Raceway and it turned out to be great test day as a lot of the West Coast 250 Supercross riders came out to get their outdoor…

Fly Racing Patrol Off-Road Gear

By: Michael Allen Being a test rider I have had the opportunity to test almost every brand of gear on the market. Doing so has really shown me what works and what doesn’t when it comes to gear design, fit, function, durability and overall quality. Being that I ride moto, but really love off-road, I…

Yamaha YZ125 Pipe/Silencer Comparison (Pro Circuit Vs. FMF)

For over 10 years the YZ125 engine has remained the same. At one time it was the best 125cc engine around, but in recent years that award has gone to KTM/Husqvarna. KTM and Husqvarna’s latest 125cc engines have a wider powerband and is simply more exciting everywhere on the track. Compared to the KTM and…

“On My Own Time” (Fly Racing Lite Hydrogen)

Time… It’s something more precious than any amount of money. When you get older time becomes more valuable and as you all know when you get older there seems to be less time in the day to get things done. When at the track, I get asked questions like “what do you ride on your…

People always ask me “Hey Keefer, when you going to build the inside of your Mercedes Sprinter Van”? I always come back with “I am not rich and I don’t have that kind of money”. Sure I would love to get some cabinets for chemicals and a tire rack in there, but I am not…

2020 KTM SX-E 5

Electric motocross technology is not anything new. It has been in the off-road world for quite sometime, but getting one of the major five manufacturers to get on board with it has been somewhat difficult. Until now… My son’s first two wheeled motorcycle was an Oset electric trials bike and that proved to be the…
