15/36 gearing is good for CA desert riding

dude most of the people who would give you crap about Alba flashing your ECU chances are dont even race or ride more than 1 time a year . i did the TPS trick on mine also . im glad you turned that noisy rattling ass piece of crap off so we could enjoy the view 🤣🤣 RP is the best 🤟🤟ive got RP exhaust , stainless intake and stainless oil can .

Nobody better then BNR when it comes to the Yfz platform I've been building this platfrom since 2012 and then been the best help they really know these machines

One more quick tip...... that I learned from John. Take out your fuel pump and solder the connectors!!! Especially since you're riding rough terrain in the desert. He had it happen to him and made a video about it. So I did it immediate when I bought a new fuel pump (for no reason) The wires have female connectors and plug onto the male connectors and can come loose or even off mid race or ride. So solder them on so it doesn't happen! Message John and he can tell you exactly what to do. He has a video on it if you need reference help.

Gotta ask, because as you know I went straight to Vortex.... when you get the stock ECU flashed, can they or do they delete the Fuel Pump Relay and the Tip over sensor (AKA Lean angle sensor as Yamaha calls it) The reason I'm asking, is John Sousa is the one who told me to have Ryan at BNR delete the Fuel Pump Relay in the Vortex programming so you never have to worry about that failing because it happens often. Also, Sheldon is the one who learned the hard way about the Tip over sensor (located in the back under your tail light) due to him hitting jumps and doing his little tilt tweak to show off in mid air. If that thing fails or triggers while you're in air and shuts off your motor...... it become a bad day quickly!! So when I got my new Vortex after our road trip together where I ruined mine, I had Ryan delete those two things in my Vortex. I was curious if Alba (or anyone else) can do that to the stock ECU?

Ill see you in glamis...

Oh.. take that rubber piece off the airbox lid. @movalmotorsports said that'll come loose and block air

Have you done any adjustments to the suspension yet or whats your thoughts on it? I get arm pump quick in glamis crossing the damn sxs tracks

You can do that to mine 😂..

Yoshi used to make an ECU (they called it PIM) and a data box for tuning. It had an oxygen sensor on the pipe (you needed to weld in a bung) and it would instantly correct for fuel. You just set your target AF ratio and it does the rest. I put it on my LTR and man what a difference a perfectly tuned map makes. And if you change a part--say a filter, cam, etc.--it instantly corrects for it. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore.

Not going to hold it against ya about your job getting in the way of filming.. thanks for your service

Cool to see you on a Yamaha. Sounds like you're enjoying it so far. I'm jealous I'm not out riding. I broke 5 ribs in a race up in Page last weekend.

Heck yeah this thing is a lot different than it was last I saw it lol love it man cant wait to see it ripping the dunes live!

She sounds great now! Rich is always better then lean. My 24 Raptor stock is much hotter on my right leg than my tuned 2020 was. No water this year, unless it's hot then maybe.... 😅

Thankful Yamaha still makes a 450 machine sad Honda doesn’t 👎🏼

Can I buy the stock exhaust from you please? Can you sell it for me for a good price and send it to me internationally

Can you post part numbers of what you used? It would be helpful.

I'm looking into buying a quad. Since you've owned both, how would you compare the Yfz 450 to the Honda 450r? I'm looking for 2006- 2008 year models. I borrowed a Honda 400 and am looking into one of those as well. I'll be riding in the same areas you ride and possibly Glamis/buttercup.

Freaking awesome brother🔥🔥🔥🔥

🤟

That's a rough day at the office. amazing however you guys still finished. Awesome job and great determination.

holy crap yall had my buddy Donnie hanging with yall . thats his 3 wheeler . him and the only guy who raced it Mike was 2 of the 3 main guys who sent me to Joe Byrds riding school after my crash in 2021 . i ride / race with them every weekend and even helped Donnie do some home improvements . thats my boys 🤟🤟

love the wot rippin!

crazy dust!

What an insane event! Absolutely nuts just pinned out wide open lol 😂

What a great video Ian. 1st and 5th are gone, oil is leaking everywhere, and the transmission is chattery... But other than that it runs like a fking top! What a great line and only something you'd hear in the heat of race.

rippin!!

Have you ridden the double track out by sugarloaf and mittry lake? Awesome training grounds for Baja etc.

Finally a free moment for mo fo weela vidzzz lol

No tune needed for these upgrades?

Why go with a 05 vs a 06+

Sounds great. I went with Empire on my Raptor 250 and love it.

Hey Ian I am from Blythe ca I’m out in Yuma like every other weekend brotha I definitely hope we can meet up and ride out one day.. definitely a big fan man

Here's a tip from one of the OG 2-stroke guys. Install a engine kill button from one of the older 2-stroke bikes. When you are haulin ass and your temps are getting high, hold the throttle wide open and push the kill button for a second or 2. It'll flood the cylinder with fuel and cool it off quite a bit. Then you can stay on the gas and not have to slow down too much to cool down.

i dont get staying loyal to a company that doesnt give a damn . that = sheep to me . i like riding them all . but ill never own a honda 4 stroke again . and while im at it , the trx250r isnt really worth a crap as a factory bike to me . the cheap jap oem frames are junk and fall apart , the oem trans is weak , the oem suspension well , garbage . a trx250r is a great bike once you go with all aftermarket parts 🤣🤣

What air pressure do you normally use for desert racing?

Buddy we all know you're not an average guy. 😆

sweet quads Ian!!

any humidity?

Nice vid Ian! Even though I am far away from the desert, it is cool to see what riding you guys do out there.

Awesome video man. Ive followed you on insta for a long time now. Love your content man. Ive always wanted to desert race and youre making me wanna sign up 😂

Idc what anyone says the honda 450 is the GOAT

do you ever ride at night?

Great tips

Hells yeah! I live and ride in the Phoenix, AZ desert ... it's 115° plus a lot of times and right now it's about 110° ...

Do the cops every tell you anything for riding on the street ?

How did you get the RPexhaust to fit with the parking brake cable guide? Or did you remove the cable guide?

I'd love to ride that terrain sometime. So different from our stuff here in AZ

Great video my friend! And nice 450! I was actually thinking about doing the same with the intake on my 2024 700R and was gonna try the Niche aftermarket lid that lets it Breathe better but i wound up just getting the fci intake! I truly believe both methods gotta be close in performance, especially with that Niche lid! One thing i noticed before getting the big 3, is that taking the air box lid off definitely makes a difference! I ran it like that for a while and it was fine! Im still amazed at how much bigger the air intake/filter is for the 450 vs the 700! I had the trx450 fuel custom intake on my z400 and i guess thats why the 700 intake seemed so small! Lol anyhow! You take care!

Not done with the vid, but dood - I said it in Indiana - Ashton's raptor sounds SO good! You're correct. Hope this is similar.
