The pros have some secrets of their own when it comes to gear tweaks and personal preferences. In Setup, they reveal it all. For this installment, we hear from mechanic Patrick Barker on all the specifics of Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGRMX Team rider Justin Brayton's bike. http://www.allisports.com/alli/moto/video/setup-justin-brayton#ooid=dwNWFyMTr5hhBqp4pQHAyWDjfZXZUnRZ |

its being quite sometime since this thread was active. well,the most important thing with bike set up begins in the garage,home or dealer's shop. the factories expect you as the racer/rider to strip and grease your bike. if you were to ride a brand new mx bike out on the track with dry bearings the wear would increase and life span shorten. i will try to put up some pics as i set up the 2012 KTM 150sx.
