Your reviews on factory bikes are by far the best out there. Thanks.
Glad you think so!
So sick, Kawis are the very best looking bikes to us, and that’s why our son races his 2022 KX85…
Team Green ALWAYS!
That looks like Carson Mumfords Kawasaki.
That looks like Austin Forkner's Kawasaki.
@@vitalmx I'll bet money he never rides for PC again.
@@vitalmx it was his it’s now Mumfords
JAKEDOWN999 I bet he does

Keep doing these videos, you do the most in-depth analysis of these Factory bikes and it's not even close!!!
ML paused around the 8:50 mark and I thought he was finished!? That was just over half the video. Yes, it is Not even close! These are awesome and will become a time capsule data bank in the future. Don't Stop Mike!!!😂😂😂
The side shroud extension!!!🤌
Love these vids. Great job as always
So awesome, you'd think with the amount of knowledge you have you've been a part of the team for years. That is priceless. Great work ML, love this more in depth video break down.
Just a lot of sideline drooling for years... - ML
Michael you can't imagine how happy I'm that someone is doing videos like this one! Thank you for your time and passion
We'll keep them coming!
@@vitalmx Appreciate it!
Great video!
Great detail, ML. Beautiful machine.
Great work ML512! Something you might have missed but the triple clamp bottom clamp is way bigger then what they sell with their regular A-kit clamp they sell.
Love all the fine details. You do a great job at it Micheal 👍🏻
Great breakdown Mike 👊.. Always a Fan of the PC bike 💪👏👍✌️😉
piece of art
That's incredible they work with XTrac for the gearbox..I never knew that. I use an Xtrac sequential box in my race car and its a work of art.
Love your bike reviews 👌🏼
Man, great review!
So cool
ML that smirk is killing it!😂
Michael, got two words for you buddy, man bun! LOL! In all seriousness, Michael, these are fantastic! You do an incredible job and your insight is amazing! Thank you for the wonderful content and tell Lewis HI, Lenny.
Holy smoke not putting A like to this clip Forker again out holy four stroke
Thanks Michael, vital mx =1 🙏
*Perfeita 💚😎*
👍
Does anyone have a link to the water pump? It looks like it would word well for my engine run stand.
interesting they use keihn ecus never knew that was a thing. Its interesting cause at least the HRC honda 250 guys are running Get witch is something us mortals can get or at least something similar
Great vid Mike and look forward to seeing the rest. As a 2022 kxf 250 owner myself I’m very interested to no how they mount the launch control button. I know it’s on the left side of the steering stem but no one’s done anything close and personal. If it’s something u could do I would be internally great full 🤙🏻🇬🇧
I'll post a photo of it and a description for Pit Bits on VitalMX.com in the San Diego edition.
Your a good man much appreciated and will keep a look out 🤙🏻
For sale... gently used. Only ridden around the block once. 😁
Heal well Mr Forkner. They will prep ya another one this fall.
club mx yamaha next
What launch device do they use?? It's not the one that PC sells on the shop. I can't seem to find it anywhere?
Weston say #thanksaustin
I can only imagine what it feels like to ride love those PC kawis. Are these kx 250sr's available to the public?
The bike is a KX250, the SR designation is just a racing term and unlike the 450 model, there isn’t a SR version of the 250 sold.
@@vitalmx ok thanks for the response
Mitch is gonna raffle off this bike.... LOLWTF!!!
I have a question about the ecu. Is that the o2 sensor on the headpipe is use to self adjust (auto-tune) the air/fuel ratio during the race/practice or he's just there for collecting data .
Just data collection. Riders want consistent mapping and feel, they don't want the bikes changing themselves on jump faces and entering whoop sections.
@@vitalmx ok thank you for the fast answer!
what is the brand or material of that grip tape on the frame??
Vibram.
as much as he’s injured, i don’t think the front brake matters LOL! Dude should just ride what he’s given. He’s lucky to even have a ride for a factory team. Buddy is on his way out.
What’s the upgrade transmission consist of?
Knowing XTrac, probably all of it. New gear ratios, gear tooth pitch / shape, shift drum and forks, coatings, bearings, you name it.
Complete new transmission.
Kawi for sale. only 15 minutes on it and only been dropped once.
Who does their carbon fiber skid plate and there front disc cover ?
They use different suppliers for most of their carbon bits and they're all private/can't order what they use. Unless it's sold on their site.
Mitch needed to drop Fragile Forkner last year.
Ugh…still makes me sick to my stomach to see that bike. He’s so clearly a champion waiting I just hope after this he goes on a run of healthy seasons for years to come. Heal up asap AF, we’re pullin for you man 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Can you buy that pro circuit carbon chain guard?
Yes.
But what cams do HRC Honda use for their 250f program? 🤔
We actually know the answer to this but can't say. You can't get them.
@@vitalmx Hehe i know who make the cams for HRC 250 program. It was just a joke because i expected you to know this now, but you left that part out last year when you made a cover on Lawrence bike "as we are not sure" but yeah good stuff it is for sure.
@@mikebrown41182 their cam supplier changed mid season I believe, after we did taht video. I know who’s are in it currently.
@@vitalmx Yes. To my knowledge we should think of the same supplier (the latest.
why is the chain tension so tight
where are they running steel hardware and where are they running ti hardware?
Ti and aluminum hardware in almost all locations. Very little to no steel hardware left.
Gotta say its a toss up between Star bikes and Pro-circuit bikes for me
Maybe a less sharp front brake would stop him going over the bars 😂
The front brake had nothing to do with his crash...
Do you know what HP it has and it's weight
HP is a closely guarded secret, but we'd say around 50hp if not a little higher. Weight is close if not at the AMA weight limit for this class.
@@vitalmx which is 218ibs thks
But you took his training wheels off..??
Have you tried taking yours off? 🫣
Lets be real....Is that an air fork?
It's a spring fork with optional air assist.
Lindsay putting salt in the wound… 😅Showing off a kid’s bike who ruined his career in A1. Yikes!
We had it shot and ready 😭
What is the sense. He is out for the year. Won’t be ridden.
Because the bike was already shot, questions asked and a Pro Circuit bike is interesting in general.
There's no such thing as a 250sr.
It's the designation they're using for the PC bikes even though they don't sell one. It's just for show.
@Vital MX ahhhh. That's cool then my bad lol. I'm a sales manager at a kawi shop. I believe a 250sr would sell much faster than the 450. Nobody needs the extra on the big boy like they do the small bore. Hopefully soon!
@@austinspired KTM and Husky have had awful luck selling through the Rockstar and Factory editions of their 250s.
Unfortunately he has the worst luck with his awesome machinery!
Seriously two different grips? Just ride the bike bro
Eli Tomac modifies his grips differently too. You should go tell him that.
Is it so sad procircuit has bad luck between Adam and Austin they were both set to be dominant but they kept getting hurt
