I'm lucky enough to travel the world testing the latest motocross and off-road bikes as my "job". After seven years working for one of the largest off-road media outlets, I quit to give this a go on my own so if you want to follow along, hit subscribe and follow me on IG @Michael_Lindsay512

Mine is on backwards, but can't see how it would make a difference.
I have a 2021 and I love it. Im not a Pro WTF do I need a $10,000 bike for???
I have no idea who this guy is however it is obvious he know his stuff. Just a hunch. I'm not even going to check him out on google. I believe this is an excellent review. The bike is powerful make no error. I get the impression it is the lightness in weight that is a key feature of this great bike. I rode both 2 and 4 stroke enduro/trail motorbikes over here in New Zealand during the '80s when I was in my 20s. And compared to today's bikes I believe bikes of today are much lighter in weight that is an excellent feature. I found the suspension most interesting especially the point about the aggressive nature/characteristics of the bike overall and yet the shocks do not reflect that and are therefore a weakness. That is not good for such a high end brand of motorcycle like Husqvarna and it should know better. The forks are simply too soft for this motorcycle. If an experienced rider was to purchase this bike, I believe they would be disappointed with the amount of effort required to control the bike during aggressive riding because of the weaker/softer suspension and that for me is a definite point to consider if wanting to buy it. These bikes command an expensive price tag and I wonder for the same amount of money if a different brand/bike would be a better option - especially considering suspension performance that is a crucial element to consider. Mike Lindsay even recommends if buying the bike to upgrade the suspension as the first port of call. Well...for me that money could be spent on a different brand/bike that has better suspension performance in the first instance.

Get that Suzuki’s fender out of my Hondas video! lol
Will a electric motor kit be available for older CR Models ?
Great Video !!! Michael can you find out if a Mugen motor will be available to install in prior CR models ?
It’s ProNounced. MooooGan not MeeeuuuuGan . 😄
Someone explain why can't they mass produce this shock and put it in a stock bike from the factory What's it made of gold or some precious metals Its all bullshit . It's all basic metals . When do we get this shock in 10 years bit late I'm 53 now .
What kind of conditions would you tune the trax to? Do the xact pro shocks have any different coatings to the stock shock?
Bring it back please 🥺 this was my childhood, I don’t like the way the future is looking 💔
Not surprising...Yamaha is just overall higher quality in almost all power sports.
This video is awesome its shows what 2 strokes are all about,leg flying off the pegs,instant clutch grab throttle response,pure magic.
Wish I could afford one
Where is the real interest in talking about this shock ? What really makes it special from stock ?
What could’ve been also Jeff’s technique hasn’t changed since this and Cory’s has the results between the two show how important that is
Looks and sounds somuch better than today's racing. You can tell how each rider is doing making own lines and sounds. Not like 4strokes where it's a constant loud wetfart noise wear ruts get dug so quick because only couple fast lines they can take which then turns it to boring single line track with hardly anywhere to pass. Bring back the 2bangas to top levels, or let 300cc 9r 500cc 2strokee race against 450s. That's what they did to make motocross more expensive. Banned 500cc class because to dangerous they reckon then put 450s and 250fs 8n 250 and 125 classes. Bullshit. Keep rippin 2bangas fella's. Avagud1
I've been using 53m for off road in the north for couple years now used 33m in are rocky terrains i was ripping off nubbies every ride little over a month tire was done nice for control but too hard of terrains for softer rubbers
Was this a mx33 review or a 53 review, because he talked 75% of the time about the 33.
Where's that embarrassing START? these jackass's ... thank you KZread

Good video, I like they make no religion or ideology out of the bladder/piston question. The rebound now seems to have the same adjusters (hi and low) as the comp always had. But it is far less important than for comp imho - but still nice to have. Interesting that the old TRAX System has disapeared, that was really special in function, but also reason for frequent maintainance. The new one is nothing similar and can (in contrast) be acchieved with shim change aka valving. But OK, now its external and the rider can tune on track.
Overall is the mx53 better than the mx33?
Man how do u get job u described In your channel description???
Where you get the graphics from
Miss these days
I miss they days when bikes were only kick start. I think this trend of electric garbage and smart phone connection to control your traction control and launch assist and blah blah blah.. is going the wrong way. Wish the Japanese brands would have stayed carbed and kickers.
i personally run a crf so awesome
I’d love to see a shootout where every rider runs modified suspension and an aftermarket exhaust system on each bike. Or maybe a shootout where pro circuit does suspension and a pipe for each bike. That would level the playing field and show true bike potential much more because a lot of stock bike flaws can be hugely negated with some standard mods that most people do to their bike anyway.
I have a 2019 kx450 for my snowbike and I just got it to 40 hours and the stock clutch melted and just came out in pieces. A dead snowbike is VERY difficult to get out of the Backcountry so I'll just have to change my plate more often I guess. Ain't no KTM clutch.
You're about to get quieted for all your anti suzuki propaganda. You don't deserve the suzuki! Kick start kenny!
Do you no the rear axel nut size ?
Great review getting straight to the point I'd love a 500 hoowee that thing would be mad around a moto track !!
Hello. very intersting Video,,im looking at buying a 2023 ktm 350sxf,getting a great deal on it,,but im a woods rider/racer,i do alot of singletrack harescrambles up here in New England(home of Ben Kelley,Josh Toth) sooo,im wondering if the Ecu could change the 350sxf into a woods weapon? eliminate most of the engine breaking and make it super smoothe?? thanks!
STILL the best review of this gen RMZ 🔥
Man I wish yall showed us how to remove the spring with that x-trig adjuster on it. I can't access the snap ring theres still preload on the spring with the x-trig backed all the way out
I know this is a year old comment but did you ever figure out how to take the spring off? I just got the shock but only weigh 135 ish. Definitely need to change the spring out. Thanks
Love these videos
🤔🤔🤔 Still waiting...
been subbed to you for a few years and never knew this video existed. i love this kind of content.
Thanks for sharing..mello mello...
I like him hes having fun..red plate oh yeah im running it yeah the bike looks super an the red plate is what missing like it need more color...gorgeous
I talked about when i started my first race an got a real mx bike off a vet pro guy...it was the best 2 stroke made the 1986 CR 250R the year of the production rule...so i didnt know it till later that it was an under cover Factory HRC bike the basically stock motor kept pitching me off because the smooth balance HRC crankshaft was so smooth i wasnt ready for a factory motor it takes top pro guys some time to get used to superfast an great handling suspension when u aint expecting it...that 86 2 stroke powerband was identical to that of a modern 450...if u could imagine...125 s are most fun when they are tweaked by gus like mitch...u get so much reward out of being aggressive it really fun an goes fast with out the weight...especially when its rough...im from the northeast where tracks are whooped out an get rough
ive seen 6 different videos of this race and within an hour all videos is him saying i cant remember the kids name. get a fuckin grip mr Villabobo

I'm 6'2 rmz is only bike i can ride on track. Don't get me wrong i can ride any bike they're all good just sometimes my balance gets messed up on other bikes and i feel a bit crowded
how much do you weigh, did you re-spring the suspension from stock?
the yamaha suspension too soft? for what rider weight?
Glad to see people still love the smokers
What spring rate did these forks come with?
