Well according to the Yamaha order desk it's on a production delay. I handle all the motocross business at the dealership I work at amongst a lot of other things but hopefully it's not a long delay.

Parts fiches have been out for a week or so on 250s, 125s and some off-road bikes. Nothing yet for the 450 unless I'm looking in the wrong spot on the dealer site. Hopefully we know something soon! Edit: 450 fiche only available on yamaha dealer site through pmpro. Dates for these bikes are all over the place, just checked...

I use WPS as well as MTA. When I started here (June 2016) They had Fly Gear that was a couple years old with mismatched jerseys and pants. Gloves were scarce and all over the place. This dealer has only been open 2 years in this location, so I'm having to build up inventory slowly. But I'm almost all sold...

Happy to say that I carry just about everything on your list except the master cylinders, but I do keep rebuild kits for what I sell (Honda and Yamaha) plus Kawasaki and Suzuki. Its truly tough to stock expensive items and tell your owner why you need them but sit on the self for a while. I started at the...

Crank seals check and there is no leakage. now the powervalve and head are a different story. I guess the head was never replaced when the guy rebuilt it so i ordered a new top end kit, head, and some power valve parts. im not too familiar with the power valve. i referred to the service manual and that was...
Yes that is correct on the 32:1. engine was rebuilt with new crank seals (i did not rebuild it) float is in spec needle and seat are new and sealing perfect. i will be checking the exhaust valves after work. i would hope that the engine builder checked the squish. the complete engine is an 03 compression is good leak...

Just picked up a 14' YZ450. Im coming off a 2011 RMZ 450 and honestly the yamaha feels great! The suzuki handled great like everyone says but it just lacked power. The yamaha once you get it set up right, will handle just as good if not better than the suzuki. Plus you have the tuner which is an awesome...

Hey guys Just bought a used 14 YZ450F and I am going to replace the wheel bearings and seals. Does SKF make them for the new Yamahas? I couldn't seem to locate part numbers? Thanks in advance!
