2023 KAWASAKI KX450
Building Your Own SR
The 2023 Kawasaki KX450SR is a great bike, no doubt about it, but what if you want to build your own SR? What if you want to use the parts that you like in order to build the KX450 of your dreams? This is what Rob Healy did to his 2023 KX450. Rob enlisted some help of his industry friends to build the ultimate vet machine for him! He was looking for more low end power that is ridable and smooth as well as a suspension package that was plush. Oh, and don’t forget that as a vet rider, you are now required to dress up your machine accordingly.

We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
