  1. Man, one of my buddies brought his KX250F to my place to ride and that thing was impressive. I took it for a rip around our turn course and I thought "no way a 250 is yanking wheelies out of every curve l corner this easy!". Thing was not fun in the woods, but for a go fast bike they're super impressive. It's the one model that made me not hate Kawi anymore 😁

    Glad to see you're feeling better. Take it easy, man ✌️

  2. I'm glad to see that you are healing up. I really like my 950 Adv. I have never ridden a newer adventure bike so I don;t know how they compair. I went with the Race Tech gold valve kit in the fork because it was diving when I hit the brakes and a progressive spring in the rear because the stock spring was crazy stiff,It's pretty good right now although I;m sure a revlve in the rear would be even better.

  3. Hey Morgan I have the dual button moto minded switches on both of my 23 bikes. I saw you took yours off, What would you recommend I do? I don’t want to spend a bunch more money on switches ( I already did 😂) but I don’t want a failure. I really like the bomber switches too! Damn 😢

  4. Really liked the pre-run videos you posted…during your race video, I was actually advising you when to be prepped for turns…(in the dark). Obviously, pre-running works.
    Question – maybe dumb: You recommend Gear Saver Oil…for my Beta 4 stroke with a split case…both sides, one side, or stick with Beta's recommendation(s)?

  5. I have tested my BBS switch with a multimeter. I do not
    trust it! The switch has a very nice long stroke push and feel. Unfortunately, the switch completes a circuit with barely any pressure or distance applied to the switch. (A guess here) maybe less than .5mm of a millimeter the switch is engaging even though it has a nice long stroke of say nearly 4mm. IMO, A tiny bit of moisture or corrosion or boot shrinkage could far too easily become an issue for this switch. I am happy to here other ideas or developments.
    Good on "Motominded" for doing their best with this issue so far.
