“My bad, thought you were Justin Anderson.”

I’ve run VPR in all of my YZ250Fs (2016,2018,2020) Amazing fuel, bike runs noticeably cooler. All stock motors however.

That was the main line. Tomac was in front. Regardless of who it was, there is nothing wrong that.

Tech 10s here. Mine always hold up really well. I’d be interested in trying a pair of Gaerne if they are less stiff than the Tech 10s.

Doing great up here in New England from what I’ve seen. Practice tracks have been packed every time I go and NESC pulls 20 to 30 450 Pro/A every weekend.

I bought a new 18 250f last year. My first big purchase on my own. 0 down for 2 years, was $350 a month. Ouch. Sold it 1 year later and got more than what I owed which was nice. I bought a low hour 450f for $3000 after that and never looked back. They ... more »

Check your kill switch. Edit: Nevermind, I re-read everything and that wouldn’t be it.

Got to race that track for an area qualifier. Really cool layout but man that track was littered with rocks! Nothing like any track I’ve ridden in New England.

I can’t say about the 17’, but my 16’ and 18’ were bulletproof. Great bikes.

Picked up this 2014 YZ450F last year for $3000. Had 10 hours from a vet rider, bike was in mint shape. Came with full Akrapovic exhaust and JGR lower pull rod. Sold those to pay for a FC Suspension respring/revalve.

I’m extremely thankful for the hard work my parents did to get my brother and I racing every weekend for almost 10 years. When they bought a new bike for me, they would put it in my room. Even a 250f. Talk about a surprise after school!

I have always done what the manual says for break in. No problems yet, every bike has made it 50+ hours.

Nice work!

First race was in 2004 or 05. My brother had been racing for years before and I kept asking my parents to race. Was in the staging area over an hour before my first moto just waiting

My 16 and 18 also did the same thing. Both made it 50+ hours no problem.

2016

6D all the way.

Wrist braces are sold. Will take any reasonable offer on the neck brace/chest protector combo.
