"We Built Him a Hunter [Lawrence] Bike" - Inside Jo Shimoda's Race Bike with Mechanic Ben Griffith

[@torr-michaelbennetta9785]

He was one of the better mechanic interviews. What a likable bloke. Great detail on bike.

[@macedhx]

To me the factory Honda´s have always been the most beautifull bikes on the paddock, looking fantastic

[@Ranger_Dog311]

definitely the bench mark and have been for a long time ,Kawi also put together an amazing looking bike 👌

[@macedhx]

@@Ranger_Dog311 Yeah, PC kawi's are fantastic aswell!

[@brooklynevans141]

Cool how open Ben was with information about the bike & spec, unlike most mechanics

[@benwelsh9293]

As a fello mx racer I love these in depth videos about the bike set ups as it makes you appreciate just how much thought and effort has gone into the set up. Cool story about the mechanic and how he is living his dream too. I’ll be keeping my eye out for him when Joe comes good and starts winning races

[@Skylerc24]

Beautiful bike, best looking ones in the paddock

[@knifeprtyyyy]

F’n love these videos, keep them coming. Only complaint is that they’re not in 4K. These bikes are too gorgeous not to be in 4K. Keep up the great work!

Really enjoy the technical content, thanks Kris

[@bowda99]

The boy from Dawlish in Devon done very good 👍

[@6VIERTE9]

Thank you for these videos kris

[@kirkdunn1379]

Factory Hondas have always looked so sick I think the Zook too if graphics were stockish

[@SCOOPFREE]

Yeah, but Jett just ruins it for me. Can't stand that kid. Love Joe though.

[@8500rpm]

Great interview!

[@jimmycrawford3x]

LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!!!! Keep em comin KK

[@TheEverLovingOutdoors]

That is a nice looking bike.

[@garrett3234]

super cool guy and story! Love hearing the mechanics story they are the unsung hero’s of this who operation

[@JAAAAAACkkkkK]

Finally a mechanic gives you a good yarn he was great

[@samabbott4624]

Let’s go Jo 💪🏽

[@moto3463]

So sick

[@tankeater]

Joe likes his suspension like me!!! Stiff in the rear, loose in the front to get that feedback 🤘 KTM EXC 500 with uh 210-230 lbs compressive spring and I only weight 180 BUT I'm 6'2" 😂🤘

[@joelmatthews5697]

You like the shock sticking through the seat 6” don’t lie.

@@Ranger_Dog311 have we got a common enemy? Did we just become best friends?

[@theshootindutchman]

Interesting that the Honda has a straight pipe with no "rev bubble" whatsoever, compared for instance to a KTM which almost looks like a two stroke pipe with the massive bubble........🤔

[@Iamwhostine]

Its there. Its just a different design. Its like a second pipe above it right in the middle of the header.

[@devenbrown510]

Bens got a cool story

[@_.momjeans_9219]

He’s a hunter Lawrence rider this year too 😂

[@SLAYJUCE]

HAHAHA SO FUNNY HAHAHA

[@datapusher-]

He looked better on the green machine...oof

[@SCOOPFREE]

He just said they dont notice different swing arm lengths 😅 okk

[@microsoft790]

Jo needs to speak up for himself and tell them their bike sucks. Same thing happened with pro circuit he was afraid to say it wasn’t fast enough until the season was almost over when he got the engine package.

[@HUSKY7-1]

Pac-Man cutout on the clutch side grip

[@SCOOPFREE]

51 rear tooth seems Ike a huge fail for a rider of Joe's size and weight...I'd be 52 all day maybe 53 sometimes.😮 would help with power modulation imho

[@tankeater]

51 would have better bottom end torque... I'm figuring you're a top gear rider. Jo is a bottom gear rider. Do you use your clutch a lot in the corners?

[@Jordancapz]

@@tankeaterthe opposite, the more teeth in the rear, the snappier / shorter gear runout

[@mikeschlup5279]

The real fast guys gear them taller...

[@tankeater]

@@Jordancapz LMFFFAAAOOO!!! shit, my bad you are correct 😂🤦‍♂️👍 Guess he doesn't like it as low as they say 🤷‍♂️🤘

[@Ranger_Dog311]

this guy thinks he knows more than a factory mechanic 🤦‍♂pretty sure they're dialed dude

[@Dan_Minton]

Glad they got rid of the horrible red cam cover...beautiful bike

[@shawntblin5423]

Just perception, but I feel like the Pro-Circuit Kawasaki and Star Yamaha have it beat in HP. He’s been suffering on the starts.

[@bollweevil8112]

Joe 5-8 155lbs … Hunter 5-10 160lbs Kind of important factors for understanding differences

[@superbeast-lq3ft]

should have built a Jett bike

[@SCOOPFREE]

Baby oil.and all?

[@jeffreyd513]

Oh that makes sense. 🤣 especially since hunter Lawrence specs make it that much better. Lol. Fuck sakes

[@monsterkxf]

Should of stayed with kawi

[@SCOOPFREE]

100

[@christopher7935]

The Kawi looks to be the better bike right now, I think Joe is happy to be back riding with Jett and Hunter, Jett figured out the starts on the 250, not sure why Joe can't get a good start, his style and set up favors a worn in track, let's see how he does outdoors

[@scottpeters8640]

Nice-looking bike aside from the ugly black rims.

[@SCOOPFREE]

Ya Gold would be better

[@moto3463]

black is way better
