Ride Engineering Split Triple Clamps (KTM/Husqvarna)

The stock KTM/Husqvarna clamps are too stiff for me! What about you? Well, if you’re here reading this, chances are they might be too rigid for you as well! It’s odd because most other manufacturers OEM clamps are on the soft side, but the Austrians had something more rigid in mind when making these stock…

Hinson Momentum Steel Clutch Basket

Hinson makes steel clutch baskets that replace the aluminum standard baskets on Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki MX machines. If you’re wondering what the benefits are, let me tell you how I stumbled across this basket years ago. I was looking to smooth out the hit of one of the first generation YZ450F’s and there…

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The average shootout format seems to be an outdated model to me.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

Pro Circuit Ti-6 Muffler System (2021 Kawasaki KX250)

Over 300 part number changes have been made on the 2021 Kawasaki KX250. After our first day on the new KX250 I was quite impressed with its ability to pull hard out of the corner and rev out longer than last year’s model. However, even though the Kawasaki has improved for 2021, the muffler still…

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…

2020 Yamaha YZ250FX Review/Baseline Suspension Settings

Written By: Michael Allen Just like a long lost love or relationship there usually is a certain machine that you will have throughout your life that was your “high school sweetheart”, one that was “quirky, but fun” or maybe it was “the one that got away”. For me, ever since I went to the introduction…

Alpinestars Tech 7 Boot Review

I have worn Alpinestars Tech 7’s on and off for several years now and enjoyed the mid level price point boot so much that I put my 14 year old son in them because of a few reasons we will get to below. The Alpinestars Tech 7 is one of the more popular motocross boots…

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…
