He crashed due to the back end stepping out because he was on it. Nout do with any bike or js7. It could of happened to anyone.

Potato is the one with problems firing himself into corners trying to take people out every chance he gets

James swaped in the whoops and crashed. I watched just about every other rider swap in the whoops at one point or another but they made it through ,so does this mean that James cant ride whoops?
I think that when you go as fast as he was going there is a chance the bike is going to swap in the whoops and at that speed its hard to ride through it.
RV lost the front end and crashed to. I guess those Kawis are no good and they handle just like the Yamaha.Laughing
Didn't have his finger on the clutch..

In all seriousness I hate to see James struggle & hope the good seen last night points towards his future. Amazing talent but unable to catch a break.

Another quality post from a poster-child Vitard.

I don't remember Stewart ever blaming the Yamaha directly for his crashes or miscues.

Yamaha has made a lot of mistakes, Hell they gave money and bikes to a Team that didn't even exist. (Super CrossX)

They let their Factory program go and they made a bike that was just a gimmick that they thought they could cover up with a rider like James Stewart.

it all went to shit along with the economy and the powers that be are being about like KTM was with the linkage.
This.

Don't let it bring you down, davis. Zook and Kent C are bottomless vats of drivel.

If you want to feel bad for Yamaha, get your hands on some of the insight from the Gibbs operation, where they openly talk about the amount of work they have had to do to make the POS usable. The worst James ever said was the bike didn't suit him, but others who have worked with the bike have said much much worse.

But don't let me stop you... keep hating on the fastest rider of the night, and one of only 3 or 4 guys who made it exciting, you stupid ass. BTW you fucking clown, you should get your facts straight before you blame someone. Produce one example of JS7 blaming all his problems on the yamaha. U stupid Fucking douche bag.

They got black balled by the industry because "JS7" blamed all HIS problems HIS crashes on the bike.

Well guess what, he is crashing just as much on the suzuki the last couple years. No difference.

It aint the bike.
Don't know about black balled by the industry but they definitely have lost on a few riders contracts because of that Bikes Rep...

To me tho it looked like JG and Brayton's bikes were working really well last night, i'd imagine with some testing they'll get it right up there and it'll be like the ugly duckling 09 to swan 12 honda story...

Can you point to just ONE place where he said the bike was the problem? Just ONE? Didn't happen like that.

JS7 has been checkers or Wreckers for years now. JS7 did publicly state that he had nothing but love for the JGR team and the Yamaha.

He changed bikes though, mid season, so actions are worth a thousand words. That hasn't happened since Tripes back in the day.

Many people came to the conclusion that it was the bike.
As you can see, many people still think it is a POS.

It's all mental. I think Reed proved that last night. If you think you got Good Equipment, or the Best Equipment, You Think you can.

Last time 22 was on a Kawi, he thought it was bad. Now it is good.

Mental folks. James thinks the equipment is better, but his riding is still the same. Reed had it in him last year, but yet didn't perform.

MENTAL!

Crush the 2014 YZF is a different bike.... very different. JS7 was not the only pro who didn't gel with the last YZF450 generation.

Ya I'm very aware of that! haha... read what I said, I mentioned the bike's rep because there has been 3 or 4 riders who JGR missed on because of the bike's rep...

And said JG and Brayton's bikes were working well as a nod to the bike being improved this year... The transformation is still relative to the overall design of the bike, reverse cylinder etc.

Did you know the 250f and 450 share the same frame in 14. Weird huh.

No.... didn't know they shared same frame. From what I have heard, the YZ250F is amazing. I believe its the lightest 250F.

Those two bikes must share a lot of the same parts.

The only time I can remember James "speaking out" about the Yamaha was when he asked someone from JGR(Albrecht?): "Can you fix this?", with "this" being heavily stressed in pronunciation to which the person assured him they could fix it!!! If he was unhappy with the bike, at least he was professional about it.

Ahhhh...another expert. I wish you and James could get together. I'm sure you'd have him fixed by Phoenix.
