Podcasts about yz450f

Keefer sits down with Jamie Ellis from Twisted Development to talk about the secret under the fuel tanks of some professional MX/SX teams. Can you tame down the YZ450F enough to ride it harder/longer? Is the cost of this throttle body felt enough on the track? What other teams are using an aftermarket throttle body on their bikes? What exactly is the difference between an RP throttle body and a stock one? All of this broken down and more in this episode!

We talk to Yamaha's Testing Technician and 2002 125SX West champion Travis Preston about his racing career and working for Yamaha in this edition of Industry Insights. Bonus tech talk with TP and Yamaha engineer, Steven Vincent, about the 2025 Yamaha YZ450F at the end. 

The 2025 YZ450F has some refinements/updates so listen in and find out if those updates make a difference on the track? Looking to update your blue machine or maybe you want to change colors for 2025? Listen to this episode before you make a decision!

Keefer sits down with Eddie Laret to go over their 2024 Yamaha YZ450F Garage Build as well as what settings and mods have been working with their bLU cRU. Also, Keefer will go over some weak points within the 23/24 YZ450F and what you can do to ensure your Yamaha is more reliable.

We compare a 2024 KX450 and 24 YZ450F with some equal mods to see which bike benefited more with the mods we provided. We will go over, engine character changes, chassis comfort, suspension performance as well as where each bike shines in this hour long episode.

Keefer dives into the 2024 Yamaha YZ450F and brings in long time friend David Martinez on why he chose the 24 YZ450F for his new bike of choice. Keefer also will break down tips, tricks, mods, durability issues/strengths as well as a lot more that you may not expect from this episode.

Ricky Russell and I first got to hang out WAYYY back in 2013 at the Big Sky XC National Championship. Crazy reminder that I've been doing this for A LONG TIME!Ricky grew up in the Pacific North West, and I REALLY want to ride my dirt bike there one day. It sounds like he's down for a guided tour. Let's see if we can talk him into it. As a professional racer, he's not extremely picky, but he does have some small adjustments that make his bike his setup. He also recommends not flipping your YZ450F upside. Solid advice if you ask me. Nutrition on race day, and leading up to it, is being talked about more and more by dirt bike racers and I'm here for it. This was a great rabbit hole for Ricky and I go down. Being properly fueled isn't as simple as grabbing the closest supplement and hoping for the best. Every riders body is different, and you have to figure out what works best for you. Hopefully you took away some nutrition nuggets, and that you want to ask more questions.

The Pro Motocross Championship is about to close out at the 2023 Ironman Motocross, an action-packed weekend that will kick off with the announcement of Team USA for the Motocross of Nations. Although the Americans are the defending champions of the Chamberlain Cup and will run numbers one, two, and three when they go to France in October, putting the team together has been a challenge. Yes, interest in the race is at an all-time high after last year's victory on home soil at RedBud, and multiple OEMs have pledged their time and resources, but sending the exact same lineup as last year is not possible due to Eli Tomac's ongoing recovery from an Achilles injury, Justin Cooper's long-planned wedding which lands on the same weekend, and Chase Sexton's upcoming switch from Honda to KTM. And that's why AMA Director of Racing Mike Pelletier had to push the team's lineup declaration from its usual date at Unadilla, to the finale at Ironman. He and managing partner Roger DeCoster have spent the better part of the summer working out scenarios for Ernee, a complicated matter considering the time some candidates were missing with injuries, the extended season for SuperMotocross, and the numerous rider-team changes that will happen in October. Here's what we do know ahead of the official announcement. Aaron Plessinger is a lock. At third place, the Red Bull KTM rider is the highest-ranking American in the 450 Class championship standings, and he has not finished outside the top ten once this summer. Eager for redemption after the RedBud mud in 2018, expect AP to be the Open Class pick. Chase Sexton, the only available rider from last year's lineup, is down to go, and could use the race as his debut on the Red Bull KTM. Team Honda HRC has offered support to Sexton through the race, as they'll be backing the Lawrence brothers for Team Australia, but we've been told that Sexton would like to get on the orange bike as soon as possible. Sexton's involvement was said to motivate and determine Haiden Deegan's participation. The Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha rider has been impressive as a rookie, and making the MXON his first race overseas would be a big draw for both the team and the event, but we've learned that the teenager and the group around him may opt-out after a long year that started in the Supercross Futures class. The MX2 rider is often crucial to a team's overall score, and this year, it sounds like the group favors dropping a willing and experienced 450 Class rider down to the small-bore bike, rather than picking among the other Americans in the 250 Class. Justin Barcia is the most likely candidate. The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing rider has been on Team USA a few times already, including 2015 in Ernee. Cooper Webb is another possibility, but it sounds like his current focus is getting up to speed on the YZ450F ahead of the SMX rounds. An added benefit of these two is that if Chase Sexton decides not to go after all, either Barcia or Webb could step up to the MXGP spot and run the number one plate. Here's my interview with Mike Pelletier from last Friday at Budds Creek, where he explained some of the obstacles faced this summer and the importance of unifying Team USA.

There is a ton of parts that you can spend your money on and quite possibly those parts may not actually help you at all. Sometimes parts are smoke and mirrors so in this episode Keefer will break down which parts/mods work on the red and blue 2023 450 machines.

The 2023 Yamaha YZ450F is an all-new machine and it has been the most highly anticipated bike of the new model season. Stemming from the backwards engine concept that Yamaha introduced in 2010, the YZ450F has been a unique motorcycle. The MXA test riders have either loved it, or hated it. Inside the pages of Motocross Action and on our YouTube videos, we've held no punches when reviewing the Yamaha YZ450F and in 2023, it seems like Yamaha finally addressed all of the complaints we've harped on since the backwards engine was introduced in 2010. This is the audio version of our MXA Tested video which is on YouTube and our website

Presented by OGIO Powersports The last few weeks have been busy for Benny Bloss. There was the news that he would not be offered a contract extension by Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/WPS/KTM for 2020, a last hurrah with the team at the 2019 Monster Energy Cup in October, lots of phone calls to put secure a ride for 2020, an offseason race in Spain, and now confirmation that he will take on the full Monster Energy Supercross Series and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship in the 450 class with support from Rock River Yamaha.

John Slater from SRP, maker of Slater Skins and Slater Shields joined me tonight for a talk about branding opportunities. He's been doing this a long time and has had some great history of getting outside sponsors to step up and brand up motocross and freestyle mx riders machines with his products that add much needed volume to the available space of these motocross bikes. If you haven't seen what I'm talking about, see the links below for images. These things are impressive. I might have to buy a Yamaha! ;-) Most recent example I saw was this 2019 Yamaha YZ-F labelled up with Hog Technologies, Dinoliners.com, EBR Performance and Tucker Powersports logos. Check out the Slater Skins on a Yamaha YZ250F here: https://www.facebook.com/799423086793758/photos/a.799667560102644/2155555291180524/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/799423086793758/photos/a.799667560102644/2155555261180527/?type=3&theater Check out the Slater Shield on a Yamaha YZ250F here: https://www.facebook.com/799423086793758/photos/a.799667560102644/2155555361180517/?type=3&theater I'd encourage any shop with racers sponsored, to consider the front Slater Shield for any off-road race bike and the full Slater Skins & Shield for bikes with fitment available (2014-current YZ250F & 450F at time of this publication, 2019). John says he is working on more bike brand fitments as we speak. Maybe you can think of ways to use it promotionally and get your logos MUCH MORE visible in your area and differentiate yourself from all your competitors. Remember, this is the sort of products that Motocross Action Magazine printed back in the 1990's that would be the way our sport would continue to land and retain big outside sponsors. Serious businesses expect big branding ROI. Maybe it's time to take their advice.
