TL;DR

Currently own a 2015 WR450F (plated) and a 2017 YZ250X. I ride mostly rocky Arkansas trails but want to do more BDR trips. Do I invest in the WR, upgrade to a newer WR, or move to a KTM 500EXC/FE501?

 I wanted to make a fun Monday morning post after a weekend of riding my almost unicorn WR450F! I have been diving down this rabbit hole of finding a unicorn dirt bike/dual sport bike for a few years now and I'm still obsessed with it, but I feel like I'm getting very close to having my setup dialed in!

 I'm in Arkansas so the majority of my riding is rocky steep double track with a small portion of singletrack mixed in. Road riding generally consists of highway sections to connect trails. But I'm wanting to start riding more BDR type rides in the future.

So you will see below I naturally gravitate more towards the dirt bike that is plated style bike. I would much rather have a bike that flies through chunk vs. a bike that is comfortable cruising down the interstate at 70mph all day.

 My progression has been a WR250R to a CRF450RL because I thought I needed more power lol and I got that with the 450RL, but even with aftermarket ECU, Exhaust, Throttle tamer it was still twitchy and heavy.

Did a complete 180 and bought a 2017 YZ250X. Love the YZ, it has really helped my riding progress and is a blast, but it wants to be rode aggressively and is a hard bike to just go out and cruise around on.

 So I came across a gently used 2015 WR450F, converted it to street legal and got it plated.

After riding the WR for a few months I am in love with almost everything about it! It handles 90% of what I ride wonderfully, and honestly the more I ride the WR the less I want to ride the YZ, for my style of riding there is just a lot of overlap and IMO the WR does good enough on the stuff the YZ really shines at.

 If you were in my shoes, would you invest $1,500 - $2,000 into this 2015 WR450F (seat, tank, etc.), move to a newer gen WR450F, or sell both bikes and move to a KTM 500 EXC/Husky FE501? I'm

 I really don't have any complaints with my current WR except the normal stuff hard seat and fuel range. But I can't help but wonder is there a bike that is just a bit closer to the YZ riding experience (more lively and less planted feeling). Every time I ride this WR I'm still amazed at how smooth the throttle delivery is and how light it feels while riding it. I'm not a world class rider but I can keep a similar pace on the WR as the YZ on challenging trails, but when I get finished on the WR I want to keep riding instead of being totally gassed and ready to go!

I recently purchased a used 2021 14" MacBook Pro M1 Pro (16GB)

The Mac worked normally for a couple days. I installed Final Cut Pro and Insta360 Studio and started doing some video editing. During use I began experiencing:

• Mutiple kernel panics
• Wi-fi disconnecting unexpectly
• AppleBCMWLAN crashes in Console
• Kernel panic referencing AppleOLYHALPortinterfacePCle timeout
• Crashes during login
• Wi-Fi eventually stopped working completely

Current Symptoms

• Wi-Fi icon shows an exclamation mark
• Wi-Fi will not turn on
• ifconfig en0 reports interface does not exist
• networksetup -listallhardwareports no longer shows Wi-fi hardware port
• Recovery/Repair assistant cannot find any Wi-fi networks

Other observations:

• Apple diagnostics passed
• Battery health 87%
• The Mac successfully completed a very large Final Cut export under heavy load
• AppleCare enrollment reports "Repair Required" and Apple support mentioned a power-related issue

Has anyone see a failing Wi-fi module, firmware issue, or logic board issue present this way on an M1 Pro MacBook Pro? Is there anything else worth trying before assuming a board-level hardware failure?
