Analyzing Ken Roczen's 'scary' shock malfunction in Round 14 | Title 24 Podcast | Motorsports on NBC

[@rayschmidt556]

What’s crazy is the shock blows on one of the most critical portions of the track which causes such bad injury

[@G_D332]

what about his comment here 5:16 ?

[@Pompomgrenade]

Hang on Kenny Kickstart Kenny... 🎉 Kenny's a. Badass... 😮 They killed Kenny❤ bastards!!!

[@ste_v1983]

You can watch something pop on the left side of his body!! Ouch man.

[@Peanutdenver]

It's that clip(ring stopper is the name I believe)that sits at the bottom of the shock that blew up...crazy failure for sure.

[@ryanrieger1689]

It wasn’t the motor. It was the shock oil on the motor! Please clarify that for our fans.

[@jaradgoodwin649]

It would be nice to know the lifespan of a shock on HEP parts replacement schedule, there is only so many times something can be taken apart and put back together before it fails, how many hours where on the component in question?

[@dennishodges2804]

Pray for the Great Physician to keep healing like only HE CAN ! Lords with ya !

[@HarryGraham415]

Ken said it was the cap end piece exploded. Not the shaft as you speculated So you can speculate.

[@randypeterson9468]

I had an 07 rmz 450 that blew like this the adjuster screw just popped out stripped everything and the shock went fully stiff no movement what do ever

[@bullwinklebrown283]

What suspension is he running?

[@robloubier803]

Ken is Ironman. Going to Unadilla to see him during pit-walk this year. Please recover fast Kenny.

[@kxrider70]

Extreme pressure

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

Talk about going out with a bang! Godspeed #94 🤙🏻

[@gibbonsgomez4434]

I once came down on my bmx balls to back wheel and the wheel carried me into the where the brakes are supposed to go but luckily I stopped instantly without ripping my sack completely off it was super red though 😂

[@ToddMaggard]

Rm's were good bikes 10 years ago but straight bs these days. Put Ken on a Kawi or Yamaha. I know the previous Kawi and YZ didn't handle as well as some other bikes but these new Kawi's and Yamaha's in stock form are great couldn't imagine factory. Kens factory Suzuki didnt have a clutch adjuster at some point last year which is insane. Stock 250f triple clamps. The truth is the rm hasn't evolved in forever...

[@malisinimicus4358]

Too much oil in that shock or a faulty hose crimp or both

[@edwardbarr5163]

In the laps leading up to this he had the hardest looking rear end landing between him Jett and Eli shock just couldn't take it anymore my guess is the compression wasn't set for the way he was landing it.

[@mickpentoney2172]

Over gases . Blew mine landing short at Budds creek up hill triple.

[@jondonut1810]

Rear shock Showa ?

[@joelpineda8691]

That shock absorber probably made in China . Get well soon Kenny

[@ronaldbabbitt6318]

No doubt !

[@jamesscott2605]

To much oil in the break clutch caliber seems like, all the heat inside the shock valve made the carburetor clinch the shock and blew it to pieces. Unfortunate

[@alexptdmg]

I have a question for you guys. I am confused about the yellow flag rules. In car racing and most other Motorsport, one is required to slow down pace and no passing until passed the incident or green flag waves. I have noticed few times in the last couple races where there was some passing action under yellow flags. Notably in whoops. Is it any different? Or were these infractions slipped under the radar? Thanks

[@mctraxxasman10]

Yellow in Supercross only warns other riders that there is a downed rider ahead. Does not mean they have to slow down

[@rodgallagher5566]

Only a 3 to 4 riders were doing that triple,Ken was looking so good to that mishap!????

[@lorenpaulger3807]

Either the part was defective or is it, who ever made it, is cutting corners? Whether that be w material or man power in making the part? Heal fast.

[@Drdddiiisss-ho6uu]

Crazy what the world come to

[@darwest8833]

I know right, first sleepy joe now this, what's next??

[@easternyellowjacket276]

@@darwest8833 Yeah. Cause a convicted felon who has lost dozens of court cases is such a viable candidate, right genius?

[@JohnMatrixOfficial]

"I don't want to speculate." Goes on to speculate.

[@khd88kadendecker95]

I went to Stl and Nash. Bike failed him both times

[@DaveOrth]

We need additional camera angles and slow motion reply to really tell. :-)

[@dukenukem7183]

That's atleast his 2nd shock failure of the season

[@ste_v1983]

Suzuki needs to redo there bikes. One race the radiator blows. Now a shocks blows?? Wtf suzuki.

[@dsquaredmedia9963]

suzuki doesn’t manufacture the shock, and he ran into the back of another bike causing a puncture the radiator…how does that have anything to do with the bike itself?

[@stevedouglas1654]

There’s a still shot photo on Instagram of a c clip in the air coming off the right side of the bike. Mechanic error on the shock build. Only 3 hours on the shock !

[@tndeere]

RMZ's are great handling bikes they just needs some updating and electric start.I hope they dont give up on MX

[@Skidderoperator]

Suzuki is not into upgrades. F them.

[@dsquaredmedia9963]

@@Skidderoperator why change a bike that can go 200 hours with basic maintenance?

[@WATTSMotoseletricasjt]

Infelizmente teve falha mecânica ou falha da fábricadora que produz a peças danificada.. Julgar sem ter conhecimento é bizarro. Obs sou mecânico E fico triste pelo acontecido. Não acredito em sabotagem..

[@zachk2473]

Dude roczen is so unlucky feel bad for the guy

[@Pompomgrenade]

I had forgotten what part of engineering but now I remember... Fluid dynamics! So oil gets hot and expands and if it's in a container that doesn't have enough volume for the fully expanded oil boom 💥

[@brocklaycock5099]

Yeah It's been overfilled

[@asatia9373]

Suzuki trouble trs ..... udah posisi bagus motor mati mndadak !!! , posisi bagus motor pecah radiator / shock blkng !!! Sy fans berat #94 kecewa !!!

[@sdl2187]

ANU BRO r RM JG GA UPDATE MASI PKE ENGKOL HHH

[@dime78333]

Shocks don’t hold that type of fluid or capacity!

[@maximus518774]

Everyone knows Suzuki doesn’t make that shock right? I mean calling it a junk bike that’s fine but in this case how is it the bike? Interesting logic.

[@nickbellinger1047]

the ground was too hard ......ffs

[@Drdddiiisss-ho6uu]

Probably Brian Deegan the perfect crim no one would suspect him.

[@danlove4270]

I didnt hear I bet PCL tear

[@kjayyy96]

2024 Suzuki 450 Grenade

[@tcepilot]

Not even kind of. Has nothing to do with Suzuki. The Suzuki parts have done great

[@Drdddiiisss-ho6uu]

Motocross is such a dirty sport! Someone tampered with Roczen bike for sure!

[@OtisFlint]

lol

[@stevensmith4880]

Ken deserves better than Suzuki... trash bikes and will always be hot garbage... he gives them everything he got and all they do is give him a crap bike. Put him back on a Honda and he'd be better than anyone.

[@MyName-yl2nc]

We need him on a star Yamaha bike no doubt

[@vetracer217]

You do realize the shock isn’t Suzuki?

[@6VIERTE9]

Yeah guys this has nothing to do with Suzuki lol

[@Skidderoperator]

Kick start 🐕 💩
