good job on the 3rd place! ya i guess a lot of handling has to do with preference, i have ridden LT quads and some of them i dont like the handling, can i adjust? sure but I like the way the kawi handles and its what i feel comfortable on

Congrats, Dave! I'll take that 3rd place finish as inspiration. I just purchased a race prepped KFX after more than a decade away from the sport and had it on the motocross track for the first time on Friday. From one old man to another great work!

Well, I tell you... as owners I think we sometimes really take the chassis for granted.

Even I have grumbled about chasing my tail on shock adjustments, and have complained of having my confidence really crushed from the occasional push in the corners I've experienced.

But all you have to do is ride your other ATV or someone else's to realize how much you take for granted. And I think you also have to have ridden a Roll Lobo 250R chassis to fully appreciate where this has gone. The stock KFX chassis is pretty much a near literal aluminum version.

The Honda's that have been long considered the best feeling and best handling (250R, 400EX, 450R) all just feel very loose, clunky, heavy and dull on the handling to me now.

Here we go again! Round 2 is today and I think I'm healed up from last week,LOL.It is Muddy!
