Motocross Action tests Jo Shimoda's Factory Pro Circuit Kawasaki KX250!

#motocross #dirtbike #racing #supercross
With multiple Pro Circuit riders injured during the AMA 250 Nationals, MXA had been nudging Mitch Payton to let us ride one of the team’s unused race bikes. The answer from Mitch was always, “Yes,” but scheduling was the difficult part. At one point Pro Circuit had lost multiple engines while shipping them between the race shop and Nationals, which didn’t help our cause. Finally, when the season was over, we met the team at Glen Helen ready to experience heaven on earth in the form of a full-race Pro Circuit Kawasaki KX250. At the end of the day, the MXA wrecking crew was more than satisfied with the amount of time we were able to get on the factory Pro Circuit KX250. It didn’t make us Jo Shimoda fast, but MXA’s Josh Mosiman was able to log a lap time 3.5 seconds faster than he was on a stock 2021 KX250 after going all out on both bikes back to back.

[@guadalupepulido2978]

Wow that bike is badass

[@Getman43]

could you please do El Hombre's KX450 and Jett Lawrences 250R

[@BaileyMarler261]

And Christian Craig’s 250 and Eli Tomac’s 450

[@dennisborg5243]

I suspect this bike had a smoother power band because that’s how Jo likes it. A smoother power ban does not wear you out as much and for some you’ll have more energy left at the end of the Moto. Ryan Villopoto was in such great shape, he could ride a much more powerful and violent hitting power ban and still have energy at the end of the Moto. Not everybody can do what Ryan did

[@chriscardoza9785]

Awesome bike as always just got to love the way they make them move...

[@sml2238]

awesome review. that bike looks so fun to ride!

[@ryanbarker4422]

I have a 93 CR 125 Pro Circuit bike and it's scary fast. There's nothing like a Pro Circuit bike.

[@alfemalicse4358]

Thats why i love kawasaki kx

[@jpesicka999]

If I got a large amount of money anytime soon I'm getting a KX 250F and taking it to Pro Circuit.

[@Dolehargaves]

They pretty much pro circuit stock. At least Tunning is pro circuit. I have a 22 and it's stock I'm 215 plds so it's a little slow for me on a track but I'm 52 I mostly just do power wheelies up and down the road and such. Good luck with getting one!👍👍👍💯SEND THE HELL OUT OF IT 👍💯

[@tyler1963]

Can MXA do another bike review with tp199?

[@sevensi62]

I live in MD. Any suggestions on someone who can dial in my suspension on my 16 YZ450F? I’ve got this bike tuned and ready to rip but I’m no suspension guru

[@claterrberseker9340]

you can ship the suspension it doesn’t need the whole bike shipped or done in MD… all imma say tho is cali is the hub of literally every big name shop haha. can send them to pro circuit

[@SJKLR99]

Shamoda has had some bad luck...but good to see his fams dedication

[@TheRealRenn]

@1:48 it looks like the fender graphic is coming off.

[@Motoinc]

Intresting front sprocket holder....oem is a bolt.

[@Strasky_96]

Not even sure how the sprocket is secured on there

[@ninja1970fin]

Which handlebar ? 😀

[@frankbirger8278]

Showa akit !

[@frankbirger8278]

??????

[@chazzgonzalez1356]

These factory teams don’t just give out bikes to test. Y’all gotta stop requesting

[@chrisitanerickson8790]

Wasnt this filmed a while ago

[@metrolakes9109]

hold on, how is that front sprocket held on?

[@rhyandefrain1413]

Dude good fuckin question lmao

[@metrolakes9109]

@@rhyandefrain1413 it's rtv around the clip. You just can't see the clip. It's to prevent a rock or dirt from popping the clip off

[@sidneyvangriensven2270]

Where is the radiator whit the oil cooler? 😝

[@macedhx]

Why.... does Showa has a body coated?.... and Why is it Kashima coated if that is a Fox mtb coating?..... i need some answers....

[@macedhx]

And then, why have outer parts Kashima coated, it is supossed to be used for lowers to reduce friction on the seals....

[@kylevoss208]

I wanna see dangerboys ride

[@karsonplett2649]

Could you do Jett 18

[@paulelm4645]

That's not his bike cuz it don't say SR on side must be last year bike
