That was the rumor at MXON. A few people saying that is why they haven’t been released… No better place than here to confirm this right?

Love it when people claim that MOTORcycles don’t have a motor.

You know….. I thought about changing it to engine but then decided that no one is that fucking petty and I didn’t change it. I forgot what forum I was on. Lol I’m going to ride my enginecycle now. Bye

The bikes haven’t even arrived here in the US from my Yamaha contact. Our media bikes were air freighted and just got here just a tick over a week ago. Consumer units are still on the boat.

So is a engine problem the reason why??? Addressing the issue before sending them?

Not that I’m aware of. We were told way back in early spring to not expect the YZ450F until October at earliest.

Is anyone here a 'motor mechanic'... working on engines? Is this where we're headed, changing the direction of a simple question/statement? We all know what the guy meant!

Get your ass out of here with those facts. Dont you know the hot topic at the Olympics of Motocross was that new Yamahas are having motor, uh, I mean engine problems.

I heard their sprockets bolts were already loosened from the factory too.

Holy shit, they put backwards motors in rather than backwards engines. How embarrassing.

You also missed that he used two periods at the end of a sentence. People need to communicate correctly. Thank you for your service.

So is it MOTORcross or Enginecross? (some people are really going to lose their minds over that one)

Motor, engine...I get it...but, ehh, whatever, no big deal to me either way....

But, motoRcross?

Unfortunately, that's seen far too often in the non-motorsports world...and, um, sometimes "other" places too.

It's a transgression that disappoints God.

Where did you hear that?

I'm not doubting you or trying to call you out to be a dick, honestly, it's just the kind of of statement that needs to be qualified in some way 👍

well, I'd get a few people in trouble if I said who I heard it from.

Yamaha copied the KTM clutch with the exception of one part , in order not to infringe on ktm's patent . And that's the part that's their having an issue with...
