The Shop
JGR has whatever factory parts they need, because just like L&M they can buy them. All the factory suspension parts can be bought from KYB.
Please stop while you still don't know anything
DMXS Radio's David Izer said, "James Stewart was on this week for an epic hour long interview that touched on everything from his run in with Reed at Phoenix to the breaking news about his plans to be on the gate for the opening round of the Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Championship."
"A little birdie told me somebody is going to be there with a single digit on a Yamaha that has a 7 on it," said James. "That's what I heard."
James qualified his wishes to race the outdoors when asked to put a number on the likelihood of him being there in a confident third person quote.
"If James Stewart is healthy and his wrist is 100 percent and everything, 1 out of 10, I'd say that there's a 12 that he'll be showing up on the gate at Sacramento."
He knows that missing last year and the youthful surge in talent will be a challenge, as he added, “I know I’ll have my hands full for it, buddy. I’ll tell you that. I feel like I definitely will be working for it this year, but I think it can be done.”
You can listen to the archived show right here.
Looks like we'll see him out there!
You guys like to BS and bench race, but when I read people writing statements as if they were fact, it take any little bit of creditability you may have and throws it right out the window.
Try to write "that you heard from a friend" or "someone told me", because your looking pretty stupid when you write things as facts and they are far from the truth.
Pit Row
I'd be surprised to see him do the whole season but would be cool to have him there even if it is just a couple...
That explains it.
So what do you do in the industry?
How long have you been involved in the industry?
Frames for instance : It's an incorrect statement above about the factory bikes having a completely different frame. The factory guys can hand pick one out for their race teams , and look for little blemishes and so forth.....but they are NOT hand made. That goes without saying....so is a lot of the other parts as well.
Production rules can be bent , they can't be broken.
Correct me if i'm wrong here , but I think factory suspension is also available to the public. But it is set to such a high price , nobody in their right mind would buy it. If you are fast enough to be able to use the factory suspension , you would be getting it for free in the first place. The rumor i heard ( yes....a rumor) was that the front forks were around $40,000 - $50,000 and the rear shock was some where around $35,000. I think they are put out there for the public if they are crazy enough to buy it.
IF you want to see JS7 run the outdoors and possibly Team USA in MXoN then you need to start calling him "Hero," or promise to call him "Hero" afterward if he runs it.
:D
It would be cool to see JS run the outdoors again Why he gave up on riding them in the first place is beyond me , but it'll be good to have him back for sure.
He also talked about how difficult interview quotes are in writing verses actually seeing him via video interview.
Did you listen to DMXS Jeffro?
If you did you would know he was obviously joking.
It is odd how people try to spin so much stuff against him.
With six riders this year, the % discount received can total a lot of cost saved and be an excellent sponsorship package. Each team has their own negotiated discount. That could range from 100% to 5% off. The better your riders are expected to do going into the season, helps determine the discount and level of support. If you have JS7 who won the SX title the year before, you have a good chip to bargin with.
C4MX does our engines, Frenchie.
Enzo does our suspension.
FMF handles our exhaust.
Yamaha provides the bikes and GYTR parts and a discounted price. Yamaha is very organized and running a business. The better the team looks, does etc. the better chance they will want to put more support into that team to continue the success and promote their product. They need sales. Good teams can bring positive attention and makes for a good ROI for Yamaha.
There is no kicking down some parts or some special stuff from time to time.. It is all set and organized.
If you are getting a "Factory bike" they would handle building the bike and you lease it. You don't get to keep any of the parts, suspension, engine. The better the team the less the lease would cost. That is why you hear factory bikes costing $80,000 or more. If they build three engines and they are the only three in the world, how much are they worth? They set the value.
