2013 CRF450
The Honda World Motocross Team has debuted what could be a pre-production version of the 2013 model Honda CRF450R motocross bike.
Officially labeled the 2012 factory bike by Honda, the race team of Rui Gonçalves and Evgeny Bobryshev will develop a new-look prototype Open class bike from Honda next season in the world championship.
Debuting the bike at Sugo’s round of the Japanese Motocross Championship last weekend, with Gonçalves winning ahead of Bobryshev overall on Sunday.
“It feels good to take the win on my first outing with the new bike,” Gonçalves said. “We are all working really hard out here to evaluate the new package and so far things are going really well.”
Bobryshev agreed that the new bike is already a positive step forward for next season.
“It was real important to test the new bike and we are all really happy with what we have – it is something special,” he added. “Over the next few days we will learn even more about it.”
Your suspension affects every aspect of your bikes performance
From braking, acceleration, jumping to cornering and overall bike stability these things are all heavily influenced by the performance of your suspension.
Many of today's motorcycles are manufactured and sold with suspension that is designed to suit a wide variety of rider weights, abilities and terain so that a rider from 65 to 125kgs, a novice or pro level rider ends up riding exactly the same bike.
The down side to this is that in most cases the stock bike will have an average ride quality leading to fatigue and rider error.
For example: Many riders complain that their stock forks are too soft and bottom out.
In an effort to fix this they turn the compression adjuster in to stiffen the fork. While this may help slightly with the bottoming problem you also end up with a fork that is too hard in the initial part of the stroke. The end result is fork that handles poorly is harsh over the small stuff and causes armpump.
Your bikes external adjusters are best used to fine tune your suspension to suit conditions after your suspension has been modified (revalved) to suit your needs.
D.B. Race Suspension specialises in revalving suspension to suit the individual owners profiles and needs.
This can be done for:mx,sx,enduro,super motard,freestyle and dirt track.
The result is a dramatic change in ride quality, performance and feel.
Fork or Shock Height/Travel Reduction
Many of today’s motorcycles are tall for the average rider and can be overwhelming for the vertically challenged when the going gets tough. Reducing the ride height 1 to 2 inches makes it much easier to navigate technical sections, reduces low speed tip-overs, and greatly increases rider confidence. The travel reduction modification involves the installation of travel limiting spacers, (so that the fork or shock shaft extends to a reduced position) installing shorter fork springs and re-valving to match the reduced travel and your riding conditions.
The travel reduction can be reversed back to full travel for approximately half of the original cost. Travel reduction is recommended for trail riding, enduro and motard.
All bikes come from the factory with little to no grease on vital components. With the use of pressure washers things can go bad fast. Keep your bike performing at its best with the following services:
