Anyone have an idea of what a realistic otd price would be on this? In So. Cal

I’d have to guess around $7800-$8300 after tax and fees.

I know this was a little dated, but I thought I would include the link on the yellow version

All better looking than mine, but I haven’t got the wrap on my actual design yet. So I put a 2017 fender on it and added some cheap glow.

For everyone having cycra number plates, guessing that they are from the 14-17 models how do they fit? Read that someone used a spacer.

Also are the 17 and 18 front number plates completly different? Just gotta know what to tell my graphics guy if I end up buying a cycra plate.

The older stadium plate fits with no spacers but the template is different from the stock #plate for the graphics . The new stadium plate matches the stock #plate for the graphics. I’m trying to find the new cycra stadium plate and the full armor skid plate but can’t find anything on the website to buy it.

The Neken SFS makes an already exceptional fork perfect. . Worth it and if you can find one, the top clamp by itself is all ya need.

Suspension seems a little stiffer, seat is definitely better, and it starts easier, it doesn’t crank over as long as my 18 when it’s hot. I know they say they did something different to the starter system, it works better. Plus the blue valve cover is cool ?

Is anyone running the dr. D engine relocation kit on their new yamaha? And anyone running the dr. D full system exaust? If so how are they. Trying to figure out what mods to do next on my 18! Man I love this bike. 15 hrs in and feel more comfortable every time I take it out

What SAG is everyone running?

How about Maps. I'm running the Hardpack one at mo. When I tried the TP it seemed to have a lot of engine braking and seemed to spin up the rear very quickly?!

Does any one have recommendations for an exhaust for the yz450? Are they even worth it? Cheers

Dubach Racing slip on , 1.5 pounds lighter, sounds better, pulls a little better between second and third gear, fits perfectly, and inexpensive.

Maybe someone in this thread can help me out, had no luck in the race shop. I just picked up a 9.7hr 2018, and when I try to link it with my phone to use the power tuner, no wifi is popping up from the bike. I'm following the directions precisely, push the starter button for a second then look for the network, no dice. Ideas?
