Instead of just dropping off your suspension to your tuner and hoping he can get your suspension dialed, why don’t you give them some help by directing them on a direction you would like to go. But how do you do this if you don’t know what you’re feeling? Well, let us help you! In…

For 2024, most of the 450 MX’ers have NOT changed, Kawasaki is the only manufacturer that came to the table with a new model. However, that doesn’t mean some of these clicker settings haven’t evolved on the model(s) that have zero changes. For the other machines that have changed we have created some new baseline…
Due to the high success rate of the MW1 linkage for the past generation models there has been much pressure for the release of the new linkage system for the new Austrian platforms. This was something that could not be rushed, as Mark and the crew over at REP wanted to make it correct. Not…
The 2024 KX250 is suffering in these 250 MX Shootouts because of the front fork. If the KYB fork had more comfort and wasn’t so stiff, I think it would be winning or at least second. The engine package is really good with a nice amount of bottom end excitement and great mid range pulling…

Keefer breaks down offsets, which ones might be best for you, how the webbing of triple clamps are more important than the offset, fork height settings and much more…
The 2024 Honda CRF450R is unchanged from 2023 so we have a good idea on what works and what doesn't. Since I am VERY familiar with the brand, (being that I tested their production motorcycles for quite some time) I have an idea on what works and what does NOT. Below are some suggested suspension…

The 2024 KTM SX-F lineup is the same as the 2023 version but that didn’t stop us from going through our settings again to see what was good and what could use some improvement. Specifically, the KTM 450 SX-F is still a stiffer nature feel and will take some time to break in. Even when…
