If this is the reality of the PW class…
Either get Yamaha to host it with their own product like KTM does at the Junior SX races during the Supercross season…or…GET RID OF IT.
This shit is ridiculous. 🤣
Cheater PWs
You Can Not Make This Shit Up
Exactly-do we really need PW class at the amateur national championship??
I watched a 50 race at Xmas it’s entertaining & funny . Some kids cut crazy lines with out looking like driving in& out of lanes without looking at your mirrors. Bumping in corners . It’s all about pass that other 4-6 yr old. Dads yelling cut the inside on him . Then running to pick his bike up.
In my opinion, PW's should be ridden by children that look like drunk bobbleheads. Once they are no longer drunk bobbleheads, they should be on a KTM or Cobra.

This may be a dumb question but why is a “motor builder” needed if the motor needs to be stock?
Blue printing . Say it had a power valve all kinds of mods or blue printing you can do.
Freudian slip?
Thats odd because I have stood there and watched them tearing all of them down after the 3rd moto at LL and checking them.
This is Implied. No one needs to say anything.
He could if that is what the customer wanted, he knows all the secrets. But typically, no he just rebuilds them and when a customer "needs more" he suggest buying a new one.
Nooooo, the kid is getting penalized for the actions of the parents. A stiff fine would be a much better way to handle it.
Nooooooo!
HOLE-LEE CHIT. Its a no brainer because this is the truest sense of Win-Win. Qualify on your bike, race on Yamaha's provided bikes, just get you and the family to the event. Cost effective for those getting into the sport; Yamaha sells the bikes (easily, I bet none make the trip back to Yamaha) after the race, and we have an overseer on the only class that has one MFG.
This is the smartest thing to come from this thread. I would even say take it further in the other classes. Amateur racing has been hosed over the years with indirect cheating. The Claim on Deegan's 250F was the Fire Alarm that everyone heard and no one did a thing.
I dont know what year that was and sure maybe that happened one year. Im telling you over the last few years that is not the case. This year the top 10 bikes were not automatically torn down. You must be protested and not many were. When everyone is cheating no one is going to protest someone or they will be protested back.
They need to just get rid of this stupid class
This begs the question.... did/does the WMX Championship have displacement rules?
Poor kid.
Idiot parents.
$$$$$
Pit Row
I don’t think it would be a big deal for Yamaha to put up 42 pw50s at the ranch. Throw some bars, tires on them and have the motors with seals on them. Obviously ride your own bike at area and regional but to cut all the bs have Yamaha show up with a hauler full of them and be done with it.
Who's paying the $100k for that to happen?
In my opinion…
Kyle should give USMCA PW/Beginner - Child Specific Courses/Instruction including instructing parents to NOT PUT A GIANT HELMET ON THEIR CHILD’S HEAD…and jus’ help Get The Moto Started Correctly.😂
But, I could be wrong.
Btw, I often put little kids on electrics/PWs in full-face mtb/bmx helmets to save their necks…literally.
Kyle, hope you’re kicking ass and taking names. Our bro is doing well, pushing lil’ Z around town and gettin’ back to his healthy and happy self. Let’s all hang sometime and tell lies, talk about our dogs and all the things we should be doin’ (which is exactly what me & Kenny did this weekend!).
Ride fast.
Get your sessions in.
Stay Stoked.

I guess when you've been around motorsports for long enough, you start getting numb to it and thinking its ok (im not saying that it is).
In my opinion, motocross cheating is very tame vs cars. Good lord, the things you'll see at a local 1/8 mile stock car track will impress the engineers at NASA.
Anyone with enough brains and balls to promote and sell a bunch of PWs. That’s “who” 🤣 Hell, Kawi could do it with one of the “electrics” that they’re sitting on.
FTR, Kawi was the 1st to show up at The First LL’s…with a semi…and even put some of us on pre-prod ‘83s…gave us all a bunch of fresh tires…parts and tuning help…etc., etc., etc…anyone-else remember Dave Jordan?
Or…Big Dave Coombs on the tractor…?
Getting so stuck in the mud so bad that we had to help each-other get them out and no-one left the mud hole ‘til we were all “out and running”…? (125B in ‘82…as OG as it gets).
Contrary to all the shit talk…LL’s is an amazing experience for the kids. Period.
But, I digress….
Pretty sure they can sell them for $100 less than retail after the event. More than pay for the advertising
Agree it’s great seeing the kids out there at a local event. That’s where they belong. If you are at the point of spending crazy money to chase a national championship get on a bike built for moto
What do you mean no one did a thing, they changed the claiming rules. Not that claiming has anything to do with this thread . . .
In stock cars there’s cheating, and there’s “working in the grey area”. There’s a very thin line between the two. Nothing on race day was more nerve wracking than going through the tech shed at the end of the night sometimes.
Can you easily measure stroke on a bike without a kickstarter? How do you get top dead center with an electric start?
You can turn the engine over by the stator with your hand.
You remove a single plug from the ignition cover and turn the engine over with a socket and ratchet.
