I will get pictures of the Stock kits and Y kits on a 2018 YZ450F Monday.The stock steel fitting is know to make contact and bend and fail and the Y hose design is known to be a lighter weight and flow better that stock..

I’ve only got a couple of rides on my new ‘18 but coming off of a ‘14. Motor seems to have less bottom end than my old one but revs much better. The cockpit seems a bit more cramped but I’m a bigger guy though, 6’3” - 240. The suspension was crazy soft, even for a couple of buddies that were 170. I just got the suspension back and should get some time on it this week to mess with it some more.

Sorry, didn’t see this. I’m in south Austin so i had HO performance do it. We’ve been testing it. Started off a little stiffer on the Valving. I went even stiffer, but I’m going to go back to our original setup.

The bike is head and shoulders better than my 14. Chassis is awesome and it turns so good!

No Cycra front plate or plastics yet, you can put the old front plate on I have seen that! UFO plastics should be available soon, early January !

Thanks did you screen shot that from your own phone after coding it yourself?

As I followed yours and created the same. But when looking on the MXA website they have same map but the Rev points are amended/different!!!

When I created one like yours the 'rev points' on yours were default for the App, but to create the MXA I had to amend those too.

So have you tried 'your' map?

Yes, that is a screenshot from my phone and no I haven’t tried it yet. I had no idea the rev points were different so when I try it I will look into that. The reason I haven’t tried it yet is because we have been going to clubmx and I’m not that good of a sand rider, I am waiting to go ride a familiar clay track so that I can see how much of a difference it really makes.

Thanks. I presume you ride at Del Valle or Murphy's. Maybe if we're at the track at the same, you can take mine for a lap for comparison.

Might be a silly question, but does anyone know if the clutch cover is the same as years before? I'm fairly certain they would be, was just chasing after a solid answer is all! Hahah
