I'd love to see the AMA implement a "spec" ECU & electronics hardware package to tighten the 250 class back up.

Instead of hardcore policing things no one asked for, can we go after the things that really matter?


Let’s remove the grates and holeshot devices!


I don’t think the sound in a Supercross stadium is upsetting anyone.

Even simpler: allow equal displacement in class.

Do the factory bikes ever get torn down by AMA Officials? I know they go through a tech inspection, but are they ever really torn down to see there is no cheating going on? 

Yes, some times. 

St Luis not sure what year they checked the bore and stroke on the 250 podium bikes.

The word on the streets are wrong. The only thing they are doing is lowering the sound, and they are taking this rule seriously for once. 

 Also, look for a lot of bike inspection issues next year, they are going to be tearing down a lot of bikes next year too.

As far as tear downs, is that 250 and 450 or just 250?

Both. They are also working on a way to check frame dimensions, that will cause a shit storm. 

Good! I’m glad

Have been since the rule came out, but its never visible to the eye. 

 The ama had no way of checking, but will with new technology.

I'm not sure why it's so hard for people to understand that the sound is not just about the racing in the Supercross Stadiums and the Motocross Nationals.

It's about the trickle down to the consumer.

Yes that was sort of what I was getting at in my last post. Is this what Kawi was prepping for with the newest bikes? I think Yamaha might be the brand that really has to find something out. Their bikes are so loud, even stock. And the built pro bikes with opened intake and dual injector is even more so.

Like you said , this will cause a shit storm . What kind of push back do you expect from the factories ? They basically run the series don't they ?
