Matt, don't listen to the clowns in the comments. You've earned everything you have, and you still deserve more. No one is a better representative of the sport than you. Keep shredding that 450! I wish that I was half the rider you are!
I run the stock map on mine, fmf slip on, the one thing to note about this bike is that its EXTREMELY sensitive about sag, a lot of guys have figured out that 97-102 is about the full range and 1mm does actually make a big difference. If you want to run about 105 you can SUCK those forks up but otherwise the front will push a lot. That bike really wants the front end loaded. I LOVE mine. Doesnt get any better for a 450. Beyond that set your rider triangle and rock my dude. Stoked for ya. I run 10mm fork height to help keep the front loaded, 100mm sag, turns on a dime and carves hard. Bars front mount flipped rear, 999 bend renthals, -5-5 raptor pegs @ 6'2. I went down to .49 springs up front and I run the stock shock spring @160lbs. You might try going one lighter on the fork springs it really helped smooth the bike out. The rider triangle on that thing looks like it was made for you, form looks great. i was going to ask how you liked the keefer map, i honestly have been lazy which is why mine is not changed, also coming off a rowdy 300 2 stroke its a lot but it kinda makes me smile still despite how tired it makes me. Race day i dont think it would be a good idea come second moto to run the stock map lmao. congrats and enjoy man you deserve it.
The smooth keefer map looks great! Great to see you on a bike Matty, sucks about the one being stolen but I have found life always has a way of working things out, can’t wait to see what comes to the channel moving forward
Can’t believe the hate I see in the comments sometimes. Keep on doing what you do man! As someone who doesn’t get to ride us much anymore, seeing you travel and ride keeps my love for the sport going strong.
Looking good Matty B dig the new bike bro that's one I want as well plus don't have to rebuild them as much as the 250s. Glad some good luck came you way bro hate that bad juju triangle is gonna have tho
So sick haha. Was so happy to see yz 🙏🏻. Those mellow maps are where it’s at. Keep those on and your style will change so quick. You definitely were trying to ride it like a 2 stroke but by the end you were flowing great. So happy dude, now get it figured out by shoug! 😂😉
Congrats on the new bike! Since you said you liked the Keifer smooth map best check out a new video put out by RacerX with Keifer and Jamie from twisted development testing out a new throttle body from RP and upgraded ECU that made a fully molded YZ KTM smooth. Keifer said he loved it. Bad news is that it's $2300 bones, but maybe you could get a better deal than that. Hope you find this info useful. Another great video!!!
Good choice, I hope this means we will see you do some outdoor this year. I will miss the smoke but also I have felt guilty encouraging you to keep racing it. At least now you have a fair chance at qualifying and keeping up with the pack.
Congrats on the new bike! Lesson demonstrated. Only pay cash for a bike. If you are financing a bike you are buying the wrong bike or not waiting and buying at the wrong time.
Looks like you turned onto 211 and went south toward Red Springs. Keep straight onto the Shannon rd and come out about 4 miles west of Lumberton back onto 211, Old shortcut from the Montrose racing days. Also you planning any east coast nationals with the new 450?
I'm liking my new YZ450F also. I'm only about half that pace though. By the last session, you were flying on it. Superfan needs one of these, he can run pump gas, no need for trick heads and porting, and more than he can handle. BTW, which bar setting did you go to? On the zero setting they do seem high.
@@mattburkeen820 so I live in northern Michigan eh just went to Ontario to train at a place called runway park with Ryan Nolan and let me tell you it was a gnarly Sandtrack in a dune basically. I’m on a kick of wanting to try and qualify for some Canadian nationals next year as an old guy! We probably won’t be at redbud either haha
Haters gonna hate. Do not listen to the crowd. Enjoy your blessings as your time on a dirtbike will come to an abrupt end. After all the surgeries, and turning 60 years old, I still have five dirtbike‘s, two ATVs, and a wicked, turbo side-by-side. I’ll ride them around when I can. All I know is if there is a heaven, it must have some great motocross tracks . A wise man once said what is behind me is not important. Wring that thing out!!!
@@mattburkeen820 yea everyone is different and all the bikes are different for sure! I like the zuki better then my old yami, nothing but problems with the yami 250f
Thank you I actually felt pretty crappy physically but was stoked to see in the footage I actually looked way better than I felt! Thanks for watching!!
Yes!!! Bike of year my friend, looking great out there. I’ve searched Keefer’s site for the smooth map and only see the control torque, exciting connect, and 2 race day maps. Are you referring to own of those or have I missed it? I’d also love to calm this beast down a bit for my complete lack of talent 😂
Thank you! No plans reallly besides local racing as of now, my health still isn’t consistently good enough to take on the nationals right now! Maybe 1 or 2 at the end if anything
Taking handouts left and right I see.
Yea I bet you’d turn down help right? 😂🤡
@@mattburkeen820 actually I have. Sorry you're offended.
@@jerrynelson3386 congrats man bet you’re proud of yourself keep it up 😂😭
@@jerrynelson3386 Its dirty in the comments.
Lol jealous much
Matt, don't listen to the clowns in the comments. You've earned everything you have, and you still deserve more. No one is a better representative of the sport than you. Keep shredding that 450! I wish that I was half the rider you are!
Thank you I really appreciate it! At the end of the day they entertain me 😂

Haha right! Oh well people love to talk 🤷♂️😂 thank you I have fun with it!!
Love the sound of these 450s. The sound they make coming towards you is awesome because of the airbox.
Makes them sound so mean!
Matty B fooling us all with the stark in the back

Nice choice. Whole new chapter of speed unlocked
Thank you! I’m stoked on it!!

Thank you so much!
Congratulations. Best wishes for the future racing.

Congrats brother! I’m stoked for you.
Thank you I really appreciate it!!
Blucru fofiddy, lets gooo, u gonna be roosting some people during nationals💪💪
Idk if I’ll be doing any nationals but hopefully I’ll be roosting people at the local races!
@@mattburkeen820 💪 with the current form and only getting better on the 450 Im sure u will end up doing a few nationals😁 You look great on that thing
Happy for you, man. I love the 2 smokes, but I've been secretly hoping you'd get yourself a 450. 🤙romp it baby, lets go!
Thank you I appreciate it! Still keeping at least 1 two stroke too!!
@@mattburkeen820 have to!
I mean no choice! Hahaha
I know you a 2T guy for life but definitely need that 4 stroke in the National races !! Mattttttttyyyyyy 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂👍🏻
Idk if I’ll do nationals anymore but at least I have this for if I decide to!!
Looking dialed on the 450 already! Looks like she pulls hard
Thank you! It’s crazy fast
As Matt would say, Yeeeoooooo!!! Looking great there Matt, super great riding! Love the yz. Damn you can ride!!
Thank you I appreciate it!!
Man you looked so much faster on drew dawgs 450 and now this one it’s insane. I know you love you the 2 stroke buttttt, high point is coming
Thanks dude! No plans as of now but you never know with me 😂
Congrats on the new bike! Lesson demonstrated. Only pay cash for a bike. If you are financing a bike you are buying the wrong bike or not waiting and buying at the wrong time.
Thank you! Yea 100% financing doesn’t sound like what I need to do for a dirtbike
Congratulations Matt!!
Thank you!!
Heck yeah! New bike day! Nothing quite like that feeling of pulling on the track with a freshy. Almost feels like someone else’s bike! Haha
Still can barely believe it tbh!
Ohh man this is exciting news! You deserve to be the thrower of roost!
Thank you I couldn’t be more stoked!!
Congrats on the new bike! Keep shredding!
Thank you!!
Congrats dude.
Thank you!
Nice YZ, Matt.

Looks like she's got plenty of pep....
Good luck with your new wheels Matt !
Thanks Moto buddy you’re the man!!
@@mattburkeen820 🤙🤙🤙
Looking filthy already on the yz. Love to see it brother God bless

Legendary! As of now not planning on it but you never know where I’ll show up!
Top work Matt,racing the 2smoke is a blast but those 450s just pull ya
You got that right! And thank you!!
Awesome, congrats!
Thank you!
You almost got me in the beginning with that Honda in the back i was nooo whyy lol
Hahaha that’s the stark! I figured that would throw some people off

🐝🏁 Right on Matt new bike 👍👌

Sooo clean that Yzf 450. Happy to see you in that one. 😍😍✊🏽

Thank you!!
So awesome, no more taking Nam to the first corner..

So much cleaner with that thing in my opinion, sick bike matt!

Thank you!! Yessirrr 🤙🏻
Got to ride blue. Might get a Star try out at the farm!!!!!!!
Haha idk about that but I’m digging the bike!!
SET MAP TO -6 AT LOW RPMS FUEL ALSO IGNOTION, -3 AT MIDDLE, ZERO AT HIGH. MUCH EASIER TO RIDE.
Might have to try that!
Nice! Hope you have a good season 🤙
Thank you!!
Better be Blue! Ok I'm watching now!
You guessed it 👊🏻
@@mattburkeen820 You look Great on it! And don't listen to the Haters! We have your back!
This is huge for the contract😎
Most definitely!
Smooth linear is where it's at for stock. But arm pump is in the contract.
Man it felt like rough non linear 😂😭
@mattburkeen820 I think it's just man mode, and I guess I'm still going through puberty on the ol four fatty.
Me too hahahaha
Nice one mate! They are a nice thing
Thank you!
Hope you qualify and get into more out door Motocross this season Best of luck Bro
I’m not sure I’m gonna do any nationals but thank you!

beyond stoked for you , cant wait to see how you do in nats. with better more up to date equip. , how many outdoors you gonna run this year???
I’m not sure if I’m gonna do any outdoors this year but thank you!
From fast to faster, nice!
No choice! Thanks for watching
Hey, back to the 4-stroke life i see, hahaha! No Choice! :)
No choice indeed!
Honestly you look like you got your swagger back
Yes I agree he was fast as hell at two stroke Nationals
Thank you I actually felt pretty crappy physically but was stoked to see in the footage I actually looked way better than I felt! Thanks for watching!!
Yeeoowww!! That would feel like cheating compared to 250
Totally!
I knew u were gonna get a yz..best 450 the last couple years. This year clearly it is..plus I think your a yz guy anyway
Yea you nailed it!
YES!
👊🏻
WOOOO congrats doggie
Thanks homie!!
Dude, with the Keefer map you are shredding it so fast it looks like you changed the camera angle
Haha thank you angle stayed the same just started twisting!
Yes!!! Bike of year my friend, looking great out there. I’ve searched Keefer’s site for the smooth map and only see the control torque, exciting connect, and 2 race day maps. Are you referring to own of those or have I missed it? I’d also love to calm this beast down a bit for my complete lack of talent 😂
I am just using his race day maps, and thank you!!
Looking good on it already. What's your plans this summer brother ?
Thank you! No plans reallly besides local racing as of now, my health still isn’t consistently good enough to take on the nationals right now! Maybe 1 or 2 at the end if anything
MOVE CLUTCH LEVER TO RIGHT FAR POSITION, MUCH EASIER TO USE CLUTCH WITH ONE FINGER.
WHY ARE WE YELLING?? 😂
Nothing like riding a freshy!
Like a sore pecker, ya can’t beat it!!
