I know how you feel about used to a brand. When I raced 80s full time to semi pro I road Suzuki. The only time I felt fully comfortable on a different brand was the 1st yz250f. I felt like I could do anything on that bike.

Jeffro, i just wanna say thanks for the discount code in the last video. I stopped at championship last weekend to say hi to Wes and Jim, and i ended up leaving with a new bike (totally unplanned).lol i was gonna wait til winter to get graphics but after your video i went ahead and ordered a kit last night🤙thanks again, keep up the good work brother.

Ayee no problem my man! Gotta get that freshie looking mint

I grew up riding Honda’s looking at the 2020 but the chassis is super sensitive too set up Thanks for the input on the clutch, please let me know, might try the stabilizer with the SFF triple clamps. But race tech, thanks I’ll look into it...

[@colewhitmer9219]

Definitely faster on the 450! Looking good man

[@geofftarrant8403]

If you haven't done it yet, try dropping your forks to 3mm. Swapmoto live mentioned that and they said it helped a lot for the twitchy front end

[@geckolord0337]

Sick vid man. Do you still use the dango design clamp for your gopro setup?

[@acm9302]

Been here since 1k 🤙

[@butchstropko218]

Hey Jeff, I finally got myself a bike. After 4 years of not riding, I just got a 19 crf450r and the things a beast. I live in a really small town and the nearest place to ride is about an hour away, I do have a track at my house but there isn't much of any jumps. I was wanting to ask, what could I do to become a better rider? I would like to race one day. Thank you

[@treyyergin]

So I heard you say supercross in the winter. So I take it you will be racing supercross?

[@sterben4958]

oh ya jeff!!

[@randytidwell5836]

What happens to the Husqvarna 450. It was everything the Honda wasn't when you reported on it. If the Honda over heats get a programer and add fuel to the map. Lean motors run on the hot side. Hot motors can take more fuel with no problems. Race fuel or a coolant additive will help also.

[@michaelmckay]

Lean engines don't run hotter, it can cool the motor if it's rich, but then you sacrifice power, and have to put more gas in making it heavier.

[@jakobnorrestam]

@@michaelmckay yes, lean engines run hotter, that's how you sometimes (especially on twostrokes) can burn a hole in the piston

[@michaelmckay]

@@jakobnorrestam not two strokes, four strokes is all I'm talking about. Two strokes are something else completely. Four strokes do not run hotter because they are lean. Most think they do because running rich can cool a motor.

[@jakobnorrestam]

@@michaelmckay yes they do, haven't you seen burnt pistons from a fourstroke? A rich mixture is cooler than a lean mixture, no matter if it's a twostroke or a fourstroke, you can't say no to that.

[@michaelmckay]

@@jakobnorrestam ok I still don't know why you bring up two strokes. Literally no one was talking about that. Just Google it, you are wrong. I'm done with this.

[@CWalsh-pj9cp]

The bike looks sick and you're so much faster on a 450 than a 250.

[@anthonykrouse7652]

Hes very fast on the 250 aswell

[@CWalsh-pj9cp]

Anthony Krouse no yeah I know he's very fast on the 250 I'm not saying he's not I'm just saying he's a lot faster on the 450.

[@Mike-vs3dv]

@@CWalsh-pj9cp Not a lot. He did a comparison and 450 was 1 second faster.

[@_aidenmadera]

first of all great video i love it love the content you make it awesome but i just have one question how the hell do you get done riding especially from down there in florida and not be or look sweaty like bruh i get done riding and look like i just got done swimming 😭🤣

[@cyclinq1060]

Tearing it up as usual

[@torr-michaelbennetta9785]

Did you install the Honda HSPD damper on this bike? Your bars look like they're flopping around....

[@michaeltrower6792]

Honda yess #1 son

[@victororantes8393]

Hey can u go to lazy spring for the dirt bike track this Saturday

[@chaceurbanski]

Nice bike

[@Kyle-pl6rl]

I think Brett Cue feels the same way about the Honda as you do. He said similar things.

[@PerdidoMX]

Brett who??😒

[@dasnicenoob6140]

Look him up he throws huge whips on a honda

[@Quadz10]

Jeff, I’m really curious what changed for you... you said the Husky really stole the spotlight there for a while. Did it just fill a void that you were looking for at the time or is it still your #1 pick? I own a new KTM, but the Honda takes the cake on “feel” for me too.

[@velocityturbosuzuki]

Jeff do you need to add fuel with a programmer for the exhaust? I'm ignorant about dirt bikes but with my hayabusa I had to add fuel with a full exhaust install to make her happy.

[@fisheye1406]

I thought you said easy hour!!!! Damn!!

[@codybaldwin7253]

Easy hour my ASS. Ripping the life out of every bike as usual. Keep it up! 🤙🏼

[@nickchristofora3417]

Do you color grade your gopro footage? Also man huge fan, Love your personality and attitude towards life, Hopefully I can ride as quick as you one day

[@JeffWalker84]

Nope, this is the raw footage from my GoPro 7. And thanks man I appreciate the kind words!

[@lisacollins6430]

Jeff rides a 450 the way I ride a 110 pit bike👊🤘

[@alvinguy567]

You need to do Daytona! I think you can make top 20 on that track!

[@bwhaskell]

Are there any SX practice tracks in Florida that you plan on using for suppie training?

[@JeffWalker84]

Hampshire’s house, The Nest, and a new one at WW Ranch! But they’re all pretty far from me

[@streetslayinggto2505]

Serious questions I raced my entire life growing up but have been off a 450 for about 5 years now I have since gained weight and I'm 6 3 what bike out of the 2020 line up would you recommend for a bigger guy

[@Shoorit]

I’d never heard of you(sorry no offence I mainly follow GPS) and started watching your videos because Honda and you’re a good rider. Then I seen you in MX Nation and realised you raced 250 nationals this year and thought it was awesome. I only really watch 450 nationals and 250 if I get tine and can find a video. I love vlog style motocross videos anyway so I subscribed. I was watching the 450 build videos for straight rythem but didn’t know you were pro.. even though you rip i just thought you were doing like a Brett Cue thing..

[@JeffWalker84]

No offense taken! Glad you're enjoying the videos man and welcome to the JWalk fam

[@SrzMMC]

Sure took it easy the first hour, heard the limiter only 8 times 🙂

[@MrJRaY45]

“Gonna take it easy for the first hour make sure everything is right” ... first shot on the track: rev limiter out of a corner 😂😂 keep grinding jwalk!

[@JeffWalker84]

Had to make sure she would hold up to some abuse! haha

Hey looking good for tall rider. Iam a 6”3 rider. How tall are you?

[@davefarrell1349]

great video as usual.!!! just asking about your review with Michael Lindsay on the YZ450, being the best bike for 2020, but you have a CR? I appreciate your opinion and just want to know "what jives"? Thanks man...keep it up out there!

[@darcdrum]

Dave Farrell probably has a hook up with Honda’s, yz might’ve been best out of the box but most people stick with what they know, settings, motors and knowing how to get the best out of that combination

[@davefarrell1349]

@@darcdrum Yep...that makes sense. I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on a new 2020...and dont really have enough experience to "know what I like" or which one to get. I guess...I''ll figure it out somehow. Thanks for the reply.

[@darcdrum]

Dave Farrell try a few demos! Best way is trial and error What one person thinks of a bike could be the opposite for you

[@JeffWalker84]

Hey Dave! It really came down to lap times for me. When the track was comparable, I was quite a bit faster on the Honda. I do believe the Yamaha is a better-built bike in stock trim, but for some reason I just flow on the red bikes! If the Yamaha lap times were similar or faster than the Honda, I would have really considered making the switch

[@davefarrell1349]

@@JeffWalker84 thanks Jeff...much appreciate the reply.

[@23nyte]

Could u maybe do some rider tutorials? Im struggling with my standing position, just feels like im way over the front and then when i come into a real bumpy straight i lean back but find it hard to grip with my legs so i hold tighter with my arms which results in them pumping up quicker

[@skylerhealyvlogs9642]

Try different bar positions, grips, and even bars and bar bends if need be.

[@23nyte]

@@skylerhealyvlogs9642 Yeah, on a brand new bike but had the same issue with the old bike too so its definitely my positioning?

[@JeffWalker84]

Very soon! They just got a new shipment in recently I believe

[@carsonmiller9658]

Man you make that 450 look small!

[@jmwalters82]

If that's how u break in a bike then my zy250f has yet to be broken in

[@OrrcoRacing]

Breaking it in the good way I see! Not going to lie, these tracks you practice on seem to be alot smoother than the tracks you race on for nationals. Is there any tracks that are more beat up near you?

[@JeffWalker84]

Unfortunately (for me) all practice tracks have to cater to the vast majority of the riders aka keeping the track super smooth and safe. Nowhere really to train for pro nationals. It stinks, but I understand why they have to do that

[@OrrcoRacing]

@@JeffWalker84 yeah that sucks man!! I guess most are in the same boat anyway so it's not too bad! Just get some land and build your own ;)
