Valencia, Calif. – Factory Effex is pleased to sponsor team Kawasaki for the 12th consecutive season.

Factory Effex has been proud to be a long-term part of a team that boasts a very prestigious history in the sport of Motocross. Throughout our relationship, we have been fortunate enough to work with the likes of Jeff Emig, Ricky Carmichael, Mike LaRocco, Ezra Lusk, Mike Kiedrowski, Ryan Hughes and John Dowd.

”We are really excited to continue our relationship with Team Kawasaki,” said Scott Gilly, V.P. of Sales. “With Mike Fisher in his first year of management with the team, he is continuing to move Kawasaki forward as the leader in Motocross racing. We had an interesting experience helping what most likely will be the best rider of all time through one of the most difficult decisions of his career. When James Stewart decided to change from number 259 to 7, we were heavily involved in the design of the number. The process was exciting and very dynamic. In addition, we have also reengineered the number 26 for Michael Byrne, giving him a new look for his marketing endeavors.”

With Stewart’s performance in the Canadian Supercross rounds and the rejuvenated riding style Byrne has found on the new Kawasaki KXF450SR, we are looking forward to another great season of racing with Team Kawasaki.
