My experience trying to race 2t against 4t was the same, I could get a good jump from the gate, but the noise kept me from nailing my shift point and I would lose momentum. I thought about making a shift light it was such a problem. The noise thing is a distraction from the real issue, fear of...

With most tracks going full AMA for practice and racing due to insurance the timing couldn't be worse. They won't allow gas and electric at the same time, but there aren't enough e bikes to make a class. Odd bike out. It is commonly blamed on the insurance regulations, without any data to back...

Has anyone tried much taller gearing to chill the throttle control? With this massive torque it seems like it might be a good direction anyway? How about adapting a throttle from another make, Sur Ron or whatever? Something with a filter built in, or adjustability?

Learned a lot talking to the dealer, who has the bikes but no Dealer license yet so can't sell them. Tested sag, liked the hard springs, and saw that the kickstand can be added after the fact with the female threads in the frame. Also very interesting that the dealer encouraged me to order a...

67th birthday today, got the new bike bug. A new dealer just popped up with 3 bikes right down the road. My problem is spec, and how to get the deal and specs I want the quickest, since a scramble is coming up on March 1st, willing to drive. Is there a way to search the details of how to find if...

I’m guessing 1% of the world’s riders having elite pro level talent is probably high? Again, 90% of pro races don’t have lead position changes after the first few laps. Boring, and therefore not a popular entertainment choice. You mentioned MXGP, but we are in a Enduro model thread...

99% of the world’s riders/consumers drain their bodies first. Moto races are too long and boring anyway, hence Triple Crowns. If they aren’t scared then let them race?

The AMA is pretending that the lack of sound is unsafe and won’t allow the gas and E together, only separate with pre approval. They are merely using their insurance availability to dictate the desires of their OEM partners. It will change when Honda is done slow walking their E bike.

Got it now. It does appear that the ability to use max power is increased so the effect be more power on tap longer, perfect for MX. Key points about Molicel P45 and P50: Capacity: The P50 generally has a higher capacity than the P45, allowing for longer runtimes in applications requiring...

The 18” rear is better for most people, more comfort. The downside is few scoop tires. 90% of riders couldn’t even tell the difference.

It’s a 10% increase in the amount of available power over an hour. I don’t see how peak hp couldn’t have also increased 10%?

1KW = 1.34 hp. There is a direct correlation.

A lot of excuses, but going from 6.5 to 7.2 “could” relate to more HP easily. If 6.5 = 80hp, 7.2 should be low 90’s? I understand the software limits, just like the 60hp models, but the potential is there and I suspect that we will see it in V3 MX models.

I’m talking about the new batteries in the enduro model. How does range increase 20% without the max hp also going up?

Shouldn’t the HP go up along with the range?

This is the most interesting stuff at Eicma! CF Moto is basically KTM owned. It's happening. Kove is wise to not release the bike until it's ready.

Feld's head guy Dave Prater stated at the beginning of last year's SX season that E-Moto's would be coming as part of the SX program with a separate "exhibition" class. Josh mentions in his video that rumors are swirling about a new hybrid mixed class in AMA as a trial. It's all waiting on Honda.

Hopefully E-Moto's will bring some long needed changes to the MX formats. Races are too long and boring with StartOCross. 3 shorter moto's is a far better show. The production rules and neutering 2t's has killed development, bring back the Open class and Works bikes.
