Despite being the least talked about new bike for 19 will it be anyone’s guess that we see substantial changes to the engine?
Will it come with a more traditional rear shock rather than the BFRC found on the 450?

Nobody will notice unless it has new plastic.
Tons of changes on the new YZ85, and all anybody cares about is the plastic

Under powered, under developed, over weight, poorly suspended, and cleared out with huge rebates by the end of the year. But it will corner great . . .

in its current state simply adding a ktm throttle body and ecu would bump power
but its design is limited.
needs more airflow and to lose about 5+ lbs

Expect chassis and bodywork changes to match the RM-Z450, spring forks, KYB is the supplier...minor engine updates.
