Just watched Tim Gajser. I can't recall ever so many similar crashes in one season by one brand as the rear on theses Hondas kicking the rear up throwing the rider over the bars. KR's crash and the a number of similar crashes. I think something must be wrong with the rear shock.

I wonder if human error could be a possibility on a crash... Just trying to think outside the box...
Rider error or suspension set up are mostly the culprit of crashes you see from the top pros to the weekend warrior.
I'm confused. You talk about Honda's kicking up, but then say you think something is wrong with the shock. Last I checked, the shock isn't made by Honda. So which is it, the new bike or the shock?
I don't think people give enough credit to supercross riders on how tight/precise those rhythm sections need to be ridden.
And obviously an extremely overdamped rear end is not going to have as much buck as Kenny's livelier, softer setup. But that's not a Honda thing, just a rider preference/setup thing.
The end.

I see him back on the bike hitting the next small jump like everybody does all the time in all races in both AMA and GP. And the rear just launches. And I can't see how he did it before several times and Kenny making the same mistake twice in 3 races is explained by your theory.
and also 100% SETUP
Some real bright people here....2 crashes in one year = bike problem
Fast forward 20 years and what do we see? A few KTM's cracking at the steering head.....
