I’m running the MX14 now just to give it a try. Tons of traction on acceleration but slides all over under acceleration on hard pack and blue grooved dirt
I just picked up a 25. I can’t wait to break it in. I’m a little worried it’s to much for a 46 year old vet rider that out of shape, but I’m not buying it to race I want to have fun when I ride plus I can’t keep bikes for 4-5 years.
So, I just looked up the specs of the 839 bar on the Renthal site and it says 91mm height and 51mm sweep and 802mm wide. Keefer and Eddie say here it's 803mm wide, 92 mm high and 53 mm sweep. So......are there TWO Renthal 839 bars or is it "those numbers are close enough" , Just wondering because Keefer said sweep was 54mm (Eddie said 53mm) and Renthal says 51mm which is quite a difference. I have the SX Race Pro Taper and Henry Reed, the sweep is 54mm and 57mm respectfully and there's a big difference visually in sweep between those two.
I wish the bar manufacturers would give their measurements in degrees! Because a bar with 54 and 57mm sweep could actually have the same sweep angle as it all depends where the bend is made. Faast flex bars give their sweep in degrees and makes way more sense for the average person to compare. Renthals comparison simulator is great in comparing their bars against each other but sucks for entering measurements from other manufacturers and I’ve found time and time again that manually entering in the same widths doesn’t match on the simulator.
@@ChookChasersMX I couldn't agree more. I was going crazy when researching bar bends! I also couldn't believe the difference between a 54mm sweep and 57mm sweep as I have both the Pro Taper SX Race (54mm) and Henry Reed (57mm) and holding them top to bottom, the difference is substantial. I settled on the taller Renthal fatbar (603) Windham bend.
The guy claiming 6ft 1 inch is clearly several inches taller than Rich claiming 6ft... As someone who is exactly 6ft 1.5 inches I experience this all the time. Knowing how tall I am I just bite my tongue every time someone 6 inches shorter than me tells me they're 6ft 🙄

STR suspension, I know that thing has to be super plush.

You will love it!!! Different map settings, adjustable clickers/ shocks. The thing is a dream
@@nicholasadams9954 I rode it over the weekend to break it in the the suspension and motor are a dream I couldn’t believe I was on a 450

What spring rates in forks and shock??
Sick bike! You said your running a 49 tooth rear sprocket, what are you running for the front? Is that more pull for 3rd and 4th gear?
Shock therapy suspension is the best
Yamaha best motorbike the world :)*

these guys are unbelievably nitpicky. The seat is the only actual problem with the stock bike.
Would you like to sell this bike I would be interested.
Oh there's worse seats out there. Have you ridden a beta?
