The race is on a 1 hour tape delay. It should be on at 8pm for you, after the auto auction show.

I wonder if Yamaha pulled their support or decided to offer less support since they have their own team now. Maybe it's not simply JGR decided they were sick of working with the YZ450Fs but they could receive more support from Suzuki. I believe JGR has had some success with the Yamahas even though they haven't got a championship. Not...

Emissions. I read (wish I could remember where) that a Yamaha rep stated that they were unable to get a YZF tuned motor to meet emission standards. The units must meet standards when sold as new, then again after 10,000? miles. They can pass when new, but not after so many miles (motor un-touched). He stated that they didn't know...

Yamaha 4 strokes have been on a 4 year cycle. 2006-2009, 2010-2013, 2014-2017? I would expect a major revision for 2018, but you never know until they are released.

A few years back, I and several guys I was working with all bought used 85/superminis. We put a $2000 cap on the price we could spend, including the bike. Way better than a typical pit bike. As you mentioned, just put tall bars and stiffer springs on them and adults can ride and have tons of fun. They have...

There are several connectors you could splice into to get power. The Power Tuner connector is one, but you'd have to unplug your accessory to use the tuner. To me the easiest and most protected would be the capacitor connector under the seat. You can purchase plug ends online and make a Y harness. Another thing to consider is if...

I have a Cycra on my '14. I have no complaints, but I don't beat on it too much. You do have to remove it to change the oil. It may be possible to put a hole in it to drain the oil, but because of the location and orientation of the drain bolt I'm not sure how well it...

Perhaps this was the catalyst for going to a chase format, to give James and Reed a chance at another title.

Dumb. Makes no sense to punish someone for dominating. Dropping 2 or 3 lowest scores would be better, but I'd guess the outcome of the past championships wouldn't change much if at all. As someone pointed out earlier, most people attending don't know or care who is leading the championship. They go for entertainment and because it's there. Doing a...

Saw this picture when I googled Ryger engine. Edit: That is a sleeve valve 2T built by Uniflow.

I've considered a Motoseat, however the red they have is CR Red, which would be too bright for me. Kind of hard to see in the picture I posted, but the number plate outlines are CR Red and they do not match the decals well (or stock seat and shock spring). The stock seat color is a darker red. If...

I like it. Send both those pictures to a custom decal shop and they should be able to do it. I would try the company I listed earlier as he seemed willing to do something like this without extra design work fees.

I just bought replacement decals for an '89 from yzdecals.com. They are just the yz logo. I didn't put anything over top, so they have been shredded since this picture. I plan to redo them using a clear coat or clear sheet of vinyl to hopefully get them to last longer. I talked to k-raegraphics.com about doing some full shroud...

Mine with white Cycra plastic and graphics from an '89 YZ250. The color is a good match for the seat cover. Most custom graphics companies could do something similar. Unfortunately, the stripes on the number plates are a lighter/brighter "CR" red that don't match well.

Back in '11, I went to Home Depot and saw a cutout of Ryan Dungey with a Makita display. I thought it was cool and I bought Makita tools, since they were supporting the sport and I needed power tools, but I seriously doubt anyone not already into the sport would gain any interest based on something they saw at...
