I'm sure this has been answered many times in the past but a short list: AMA bikes production base frame (that can not have material removed only added support) production base swing arm (a grey area if you ask some) cylinder, head and case casting need to start life as a production unit bore x stroke the same as the...

@benchracermx first you might have heard "things" but then your user name says it all . I will say is that yes the team struggled much of the season and the bike was labelled "unreliable" by many. However given the budget, size of team & fact they fielded 4 riders (1 in MXGP & 3 in MX2) the negative talk...

From what you hear Yamaha pulled support.... HAHAHA I call total BS on that one Hows this sound for a reply.... Yamaha DID offer support for 2015 and note that Yamaha's ONLY overall MX2 win in 14 was with Dixon & Max. Yamaha management in Europe pushed a team that has a clear history of producing fast bikes to...

Leib running the white gear is simple if one can not find a gear deal that they feel is was worth prime real estate next the the bike itself! The fact that racing is very expensive and at best was a contingency deal for a top 10 that would pay about as much as the entry for a race is...

Guess who will benefit from this new innovative technology.... the people making aftermarket parts and charging the privateer 10k for his new 200cc 4 stroke engine that will only last 3-4 hours between complete rebuilds! How long do you think a 450 riders cases, crank and valve train last vs a top 10 250 rider??? 450's can go 3-4 times...

Europe is a whole different animal! At the Italy GP this year we stayed at the track in a friends "camper" even parked in the riders camping area. The general camping area had to have been close to a 1/2 a mile away and lets just say they take noise makers very serious in europe!!!! Wow! The sound a 4...

Rizzo, I could'nt agree more with your assessment! At most 2-3 rounds of 135 grain from the simple HK p2000 and they scatter light cockroaches .

Because I know he is too shy to post it yet it is a killer bike here is AS29 mechanic Nate's cr125 he has been working on a bit. The before and after is pretty impressive to see his skills!

First I will say I clearly a fan of the kid since I do choose to travel to half these far off places with him. I think its funny you say that 50% of the paddock doesn't like him. Bud racing... We hung out with Jackie today and he views Manola (jackie's girlfriend) as his Europe mom. Ricci racing... (Old...

Ok I as a person who was at REM with Leib would like to clear up some of the statements made by MXA. I find it comical that MXA would clearly go out of their way to slam Leib for on ONE lap cutting a corner that was at the 17-18 min mark of the 2nd 20 min Moto. Michael...

One more note there never was a contract with the team just a verbal agreement that they team failed to hold up on there side.

Well I guess it's time to clear a few things up.... -Michael was VERY clear before he came over to Europe to ride that he would only do so if the equipment was able to win gp's! The team made it VERY clear they wanted to same and would "do whatever it takes costs not a issue" to get competitive...

People that bitch about factory teams having items and it not being fair should STFU! Tell it to DM18, his team does NOT use works electronics and i dare someone to say his bike looked slow this season... Read the in-house engine guys response to MXA when they rode Sipes 250 and how he went on about the electronics etc...

Rockstar Suzuki has a "in house" engine program along with much of the chassis development as well. They do work very close with many sponsors to develop there bikes to suit there riders as well on the chassis front. What I think many people don't see because they do such a great job in house is the lack of technical...

FCR motors are done in-house by a very select crew. They run Yosh exhaust systems but motors are done in house. Many people also think Yosh does Rockstar Suzuki motors... nope they are in=house as well.

They tried to do this in Formula usa road racing 10 years ago and it was a total drama. If people think there is trickery going on now with electronics.... its was a joke 10 years ago when electronics just started to appear in road racing. How do you control a bike that is under the "peak horsepower" limit yet...

How do you get that? Leib and Dixon are on good terms other than I think Dixon was bummed Leib signed with CLS but at the end of the day did understand. I know Leib does NOT have a issue with Dixon as he gave Leib a great chance to prove his speed on a great bike.

He was signed to Dixon/Yamaha for the balance of the season right after the Italy race. I am aware of this as it was a issue since he wanted to do the Vegas SX on his Hondas and was not allowed too! You are right his CLS contract was not set to start till Jan 13 and that is the...
