I dont know about done with Yamaha but while talking with Big James at Red Bud he said they cant get the Yamaha to turn and when they do they cant get it to go straight. JS7 may be to fast for the new bike can handle.

What kind of shit? It's been painfully obvious that his bike setup has left a lot to be desired. Should have asked McGrath how to set it up, he was pretty good on getting a Yamaha to work on straights and in turns. I seem to remember they didn't want his bike photographed in the pits without the handlebars/front end turned to the side. Other than shorter offset triples, were they trying to hide offset steering head bearings that changed up the rake? Make the bike turn super sharp with super stiff forks like Mc liked for attacking the jumps but run the rear suspension super soft so the rear would ride low under acceleration and remain stable at speed. Other that Reed, have we ever seen anyone look so smooth on a Yamaha ?

Has anyone considered that maybe JS is tired of getting dragged through the proverbial mud every summer about not racing? Maybe he is the one wanting to ditch SM and not the other way around, in order to get some support that will cover the outdoors??

I'm sure when he's watching these 3 guys going at it out there, deep down he wishes he could be out there with them. He's a racer.

It'll be interesting for sure.

Phillippaerts, Frossard and De Dycker have all won overalls on one. They don't seem to be having a big problem getting them on the podium in Europe. Of course they also have no production rule so there's no telling what kind of one off parts are on the bikes.

production rule in the u.s. is a joke, Reed's bike is more Factory than Bobryshev's, sorry but Americans can be so naive

I've never seen a carbon fiber sub frame the way Yamaha had a few years ago. Nor have I seen a TM or Aprilia factory effort. Or a 350 with arguably more CC's boared out of it. Or a KTM 450 with EFI. Or a YZ250f with EFI. Or Roczen's RMZ250 last year with EFI. Yes. We Americans get everything.

That's a Honda World Motocross problem. Factory Monster Energy Yamaha in Europe puts more money in than Factory Yamaha here... oh wait, there is no Factory Yamaha team here. They only have enough Indian money for SX. Not a production rule problem. That Honda team has been all sorts of messed up in years past. Now they finally found a diamond in the rough with Bobby. He just needs about 5 minutes more endurance. Reed's bike is probably more trick because American Honda has more money to throw at it than the lackluster effort that Martin Honda/HWMX team has had the past few years. They have a Brazilian riding MX2 for them and he's lucky to get top 15. Is he there because Honda is such a big presence (title sponsor) of the Brazilian GP?

He had a good start in moto 1 and not having much seat time his speed was off and he is still struggling with suspension set up. Moto 2 he had a mechanical failure. Husqvarna engineers are working hard to fix it....... he tests suspension in Italy Tuesday and Weds and should be better in Germany next weekend. Thanks for asking!
