🤦 bruh yeah right! Especially now days. Mechanics are a dime a dozen. They do what they are told. It’s not like the mechanic is coming up with some bad ass new setup na, that coming from moto gpx and japan. Lmao not this lame ass 🤡
This was rad to see love deegs/duffe combo you can tell he really admires the kids work ethic and heart he has in the sport. I've seen comment after comment keep these two together and I totally agree he knows deegan is a future champ is going to win a lot I think they are a remarkable team and look forward to watching them this summer
He couldn’t have said it better and he is 100% right Haiden is a great person and has really worked hard to get where he is and you can never buy the talent and skills he has and he is the Future and I’m so proud and happy for him and his Family and his Team and again I love that 50th anniversary Yamaha also Thank you guys for sharing this amazing video and his mechanic is awesome and he is to a great person and him and Haiden are like McGrath and Skip was back in the 90s and I’m super proud of them and also always got to Thank his Dad Brian as well for the way he raised him and showing him the path to success and I want to wish them all the best always #TheDeegans #HaidenDeegan #BrianDeegan #RacerX @Duffe
My buddy Andrew Bauer from MN, all around good dude and mechanic tried like hell to get into the pro pits. He did it by wrenching for a bed and meals for mid level privateers. I think he may have worked on Davi Millsaps practice bikes for a bit. It is easy enough to get into the industry getting to where Duffe is though is incredibly difficult. Well done sir!
Nope, easy I bet. If you are good at what you do, and somebody needs your talent, you just have to do a little networking, (getting known), and if something is not there, I bet there will be shortly. But, you have to have the skills. That is why dopey Mathis has a pod cast now.
@@EarthSurferUSA Easy. Because there are 100 bike that show up every week and 200 more practice bikes so there is obviously plenty of bike for every kid that wants to be a professional mechanic to work on. Just do a little networking and you'll be good to go kid. Did you chat GPT that fairy tale? I just relayed a real life story and this idiot arm chair racer immediately dismisses it with platitudes and fantasy. I am losing faith in humanity.
I have a good feeling of the extent of work they got in this bike. I mean obviously they will want to change gearing it’s not a secret, the engines being built specifically for the factory teams are no more then custom porting, custom pistons, custom lightened crankshafts/rods, cryogenic treated transmission. All parts most likely has been micro polished or Nickle plated such as the piston for longevity hince why he says they are reliable parts in the engines. Ceramic bearings. I’ve build bikes with them before super expensive for maybe 500rpm difference. Just from testing purposes it’s all I’ve seen. Now with the clutch I’m curious about. But I don’t think it’s all that factory like they make it out to be. Maybe if they designed a custom bore piston that is within the rules which what pro factory team these days especially on the amateur level follows them??? The camshafts are custom grind cams from guys that know how to do the math with making camshafts like some of the guys I’ve used. There’s a few so no names in particular unless you want to ask… The valves are also possibly custom machines valves. Porting they have to test on a flow bench , that is nothing new. I do that. But also epoxy on the ceiling of the intake port to force induction straight into the combustion chamber. Too much volume of air because induced in the port could trap air and make the bike not run as good. Sometimes more isn’t always better. Custom valve spring rates for higher over revving… why you think haiden is always launching like a rocket once the gate drops vs the other riders??? Higher over rev engine with lightened crankshafts, and “factory” transmission. Custom ignition system. Custom fuel system. Custom chassis. Custom intake/exhaust systems. (Proven at dyno.) Sure they run dual injector like everyone else. Also when they talked about clutch, I have used different springs before from other applications and the clutch felt soft or stiff. I had experienced this before just seeing I Fn it was possible. But the same applies to the valves. Softer springs will just allow valves to open/close faster, thus increasing over rev. Anybody can build a factory race bike but get real who has $50k laying around to build one. And I know it cost way more than that to research and develop. Then make multiple race bikes because they want more riders now to win more championships. But yea I mean engine alone in these race bikes are probably $25k in research and development. The rest is testing the ignition system, dyno, suspension etc. If it were me, electric water pump and external oil cooler that can be welded underneath the radiator. Or a custom radiator with it built in. And a catch can welded on frame. I know it will have some Blow by because thing is revving so high. Oh also forgot to mention, they have throttle body modifications and custom machines butterfly valves. So like he said, they like to breathe. That’s way to make easy power…. I’m building a race bike to be competitive on the “factory” level it’s more of an experiment and working with my resources but seeing how far it can go. Maybe 60ish horsepower for a 2024 yz250f. Maybe little more than that. Without it blowing up lol
I think he is more like RC. MC was a puss outdoors. But he did win a national title between ovulation's. lol I don't think Haiden will let Jett win 73 SX races. Might be the other way around. :)
Haiden wouldn’t be haiden without duffe.duffe doesn’t want the attention but he makes sure that bike and haiden are ready come Saturday…duffe is one of the coolest dudes you’ll ever meet…matter fact,the Yamaha team dudes are pretty good fellas
I say he is ready for 450 after these nationals, and he will win some races during his first big bike season. From start to finish, I think he is a "stand out" also, next to Jett.
And Deegans handled that issue as well as could be. A rule to force you to give up your private property? That is lawlessness. That rule, I thought was gone in the 70's, and it needs to be off the books, to be moral.
@@EarthSurferUSA the entire purpose of the rule is to stop people like the Deegans turning up on a bike worth 100k. You're whats wrong with this sport, get help.
I have a 24 250f and I’m looking to enlarge the tank. What tank are they using? How much gas does it hold? I’m seeing a 2.8 but that’s too big I think. Any help would be appreciated 🙂
Maybe the manufactures name is on their product, and you can pick up a phone and call them? Or search the streets. lol Where do you think you can get them son?
That was interesting. He wouldn't tell us the off set, the gearing, what the exhaust is, what's been done to the motor, rev limit, the air box modifications and fuel tank size. Air forks for supercross and springs for motocross. That's all I got out of it.
The closest you can get too a star Yamaha bike is with GYTR but their are a few secrets that all the pro teams hide from each other and they all want too know those secrets.
Haiden has a badass bike. That purple back ground looks good on that bike. I bet next year he’ll have it again. I believe in him that he can take everyone to school.👍🙏💯✌️🤙✊😎💪🫡🇺🇸
Haiden is Brian Deegans kid!!, and he does not have any tattoo's!!!!!!!!??? That kid is serious. I peg him tough to beat for his entire career. I like what he says. He is a confident kid, and I love to see it. :)
I would be so fast on this bike! At 64 years old, those guys better be glad I'm not out there with them. I would surely cause them to crash because I would be like a road block when they came up on me. But boy on the straightaways I would be screwing it on! lol
Most important person on any team is the person responsible for the bike! There are a few out there, but most fast riders are shit mechanics... I repeat MOST of them. So It doesn't matter how amazing your rider is... if the bike dnf's. Very overlooked in my opinion. Props to all the mechanics out there in the trenches!
I am old school, but before and during the time when freestyle took off around 1995. They all ride with high bars today, more forward body, and more rear end sag (100 to 105mm typ), so they don't tease the front end trail too much, (but it still bites them once in a while). I got back into riding a few years back (60 now), and I could not stand the freestyle set up. I could not feel the front tire biting into the ground as well for cornering (OK in a berm though), and the bars felt twitchy. Today, I see go-pros at amateur tracks, and man there are a lot of kids who are very slow in the corners, but good jumpers. I see quite a few pros falling on flat ground into and out of corners too. Maynbe good for rhythm sections,---but it is a freestyle set up, and it amazes me because I think I am seeing a irrational "sheep mentality".
Why wasn't they so open about his loretta lynn bike a few years ago... All kinds of shady nonsense went down at that amateur race involving an illegal bike and this exact team !!! No one else caused any of that except Yamaha and this crew.... Facts are facts , the kid never got the bike and the whole situation was a clown show.
You are looking at it the wrong way IMO. I am 60 now, and I thought that "claiming rule" was gone in the 70's, because it is immoral to be forced out of your private property. If we have rules like that, it can extend in other places, like illegal immigrants claiming your home. It is all about proper law, that protects private property, so that claiming rule is lawlessness. Deegans did the right and moral thing. They did not let their property get stolen (a payment/sale is agreed upon, voluntary. No force. The bike was not for sale. Lawlessness) Now for the "cheating bike". For some irrational reason, people think because he cheated, somebody gets to steal his bike. They are separate issues. The penalty for a cheater bike is disqualification---not bike confiscation. Now,---if you want to protect your own private property rights in your future,--you better understand my point of view. Because stuff like that is one way we lose our rights,---as we accept the "rule" good or bad. Happy to help. Doug in Michigan.
It all starts with the mechanic in my opinion, they are the riders better half and need way more recognition.
Agreed

Really good interview. Finally an interviewer who actually knows what he's talking about and asks good questions lol
Duff better move up to 450 when Heiden does couldn’t imagine him having a different mechanic. Duff is the best.
Duff is family now. He will be with Haiden for his entire career I'd bet.
I'd like to CLAIM that bike
If only 😅
DUFF always seems like the nicest guy .
Always wearing a smile
Should run those colors every race!

Takes it down to the frame every Sunday. That’s so cool.

The only gem I took from this is that Eli hopped on Haydens bike in Colorado and I'm sad we will never get to see that
Well The Deegan and Tomac families and Haiden and their mechanics got to see it.
Eli is a baby he had his time 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great team getting it done. Lets keep the momentum.
Duff is perfect for Deegs hope he’s on his bike for a long time
Thinking of claiming it ....🤔
I got a thousand on it.
Just put Haiden in thumbnail and even the haters will click and give you views 🤣
😅😅😅
So true.
The mechanics do a lot of crazy work on these bikes
Red line is set 'To the moon and back'
Redline ? Dont need no stinking rev limiter !
Goat Interview! Badass mechanic! sick bike!
Is an altitude motor the same as a Deegans Loretta Lynns amatuer motor?
😂😂😂
That was a really cool video! More of these!!
Duffe the man!
Lets see Duffe geared up and puttin down some hot laps 🤘
please more vids like this

SUPERGOOD Mechanic Haiden!!
Great video.duff is great mechanic and superb for haiden
Gotta love duffe!
561 to 303...shout out for knowing the difference between Lakewood and Denver...palm beach represent
I from Wellington,fl . Nice to someone else from palm beach county 👍🏻
See ya at MotoBros ! My bike will be smoking a bit 😂
best mechanics of star racing really friendly interview !
The bikes are so damn impressive. can smell the race fuel from here.
The duff man ...o yeah... duff baby it gets the job done
Awesome!
Deegan is the modern day McGrath. I love it. I always loved McGrath and deegan has the same go get it attitude.
I think he is more like RC. MC was a puss outdoors. But he did win a national title between ovulation's.
lol I don't think Haiden will let Jett win 73 SX races. Might be the other way around. :)
Big fan from northern MINNESOTA
Haiden wouldn’t be haiden without duffe.duffe doesn’t want the attention but he makes sure that bike and haiden are ready come Saturday…duffe is one of the coolest dudes you’ll ever meet…matter fact,the Yamaha team dudes are pretty good fellas
Great video, great mechanic.
great interview
Brent is the man! Deegs will be a 3x SuperMotocross champ before he moves up to 450.
I say he is ready for 450 after these nationals, and he will win some races during his first big bike season. From start to finish, I think he is a "stand out" also, next to Jett.
Duff is my guy so humble
The same bike he raced at Loretta Lynn's.
Same engine mods Deeg was running at Loretta Lynn's Amateur National's last year when that issue with the bike claim happened...???
And Deegans handled that issue as well as could be. A rule to force you to give up your private property? That is lawlessness. That rule, I thought was gone in the 70's, and it needs to be off the books, to be moral.
bullshit, they have tech inspection at that level. Brennans a little bitch.
@@EarthSurferUSA🤣🤣

More bike checks, these are cool!
Awesome Duffe38 & Dangerboy the best Combo
Yamaha put out probably the trickest bike ever
Great video
Low key down to earth Humble but will be at your trailer crying if you bump him!🤣
Can you prepose the AMA gets MPH trackers on the bikes. I think it would be super dope for the fans to see a live speed.
Let’s go duff!!
I love this bike Dangerboy 💯
Duff n deegs gonna win mx and smx
I have a 24 250f and I’m looking to enlarge the tank. What tank are they using? How much gas does it hold? I’m seeing a 2.8 but that’s too big I think. Any help would be appreciated 🙂
I love it
Is this bike for sale? Asking for a friend..
Letttssss goooooo, Duf!!!!@@
Love the look
Where can we get those rims? So sick
Maybe the manufactures name is on their product, and you can pick up a phone and call them? Or search the streets. lol
Where do you think you can get them son?
Can someone buy Yamaha and cut the holes in the air filter top or is that for a modified engine only?
Lmao
Any 4 stroke Yamaha with the intake in the front should have holes drilled in it so yes
That was interesting. He wouldn't tell us the off set, the gearing, what the exhaust is, what's been done to the motor, rev limit, the air box modifications and fuel tank size. Air forks for supercross and springs for motocross. That's all I got out of it.

How much could it ever matter saying the gearing or offsets. They all have access to whatever works I would guess…..
Haiden has a badass bike. That purple back ground looks good on that bike. I bet next year he’ll have it again. I believe in him that he can take everyone to school.👍🙏💯✌️🤙✊😎💪🫡🇺🇸
Duff is amazing
The ccu is the secret that and a 450 air intake it's all in the ignition timing they run a vortex guaranteed
Duff is the man
Yamaha for life
Remember what the Deegans and Star Yamaha did to Brennan. Disgusting. “Special” bike, right. Racing a pro motor and threatening people. 👍good job.
0:36 Wait, why would this not be a factory bike?
Those them Loretta engines? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looks like the perfect claim.
careful, someone might claim it and you'll have to get daddy
Pos just like his dad we all remember the 17,000 bike deal for his bike
That bike is beautiful
Haiden is Brian Deegans kid!!, and he does not have any tattoo's!!!!!!!!???
That kid is serious. I peg him tough to beat for his entire career.
I like what he says. He is a confident kid, and I love to see it. :)
Haiden has his thigh tattooed
We want more duffe

So there’s a clutch and other things that we can’t get. So explain again why we have the production rule
Never knew Duff was tall as Kris..
Thanks for the time gentelman🏁🏁🏆✨️🏋♂️✨️🏋♂️great BIKE ,,WHAT A MANCHILD on that machine😂🎉🎉😂🏋♂️🙌🤳🌟

Just don’t try to claim it.

Yamaha is the best brand for dirt bike
Most sold bike on the planet today, the YZ250 2-stroke.
hes won the. last 3 races too

agreed props to them, they work their asses off all day long come race day
Whats the horse power of a bike like that? 40 horses
nice bike i like it
Star is the American factory Yamaha
Look how far back his bars are over the top of the forks
I am old school, but before and during the time when freestyle took off around 1995. They all ride with high bars today, more forward body, and more rear end sag (100 to 105mm typ), so they don't tease the front end trail too much, (but it still bites them once in a while).

Kris has some good taste in footwear 👌
Nice bike i'll give you 15k for it
Not for sale. Anything else is stealing. Not hard to understand.
@Brent there is a career in politics when you done with this 🤣
It’s how he talks on the podium that makes people think that
"Off track edition"?
Now he has to figure out how to make a red plate cool
The bed bug comments are exactly how I thought they'd be
🔥🔥🔥
He said the deegans are humble 😂😂
Well compared to you...
They are down too earth people but if you are a dick sucker and in this case you are they will treat you like shit and will ignore you.
Engine is stock my ass 🤣 watching the star bikes go up big gulp and then watching regular 250f go up it there’s zero chance it’s stock motor.
Why wasn't they so open about his loretta lynn bike a few years ago...
All kinds of shady nonsense went down at that amateur race involving an illegal bike and this exact team !!!
No one else caused any of that except Yamaha and this crew....
