What about the missed welds on the frame and pressure fit cam gears? We have seen several bikes come back with low hours where the cam gears rostered on the shaft. Sometimes it’s just less power other times it grenades the motor. Seems like the first mod should be addressing that.
I would recommend upgrading the chain and sprockets, air cleaner element, grips,tires, and load some ecu tunes that work for your needs. I prefer my '21 for many reasons. Approx. 30 mods on it. Just flat out hauls balls!
After leaving the mx race shop an moving to florida i left my bike builder....the honda tech was good at suspension he did race tech gold valves an so sweat he was just so hepfull as the Race tech gold valve must be super easy to change he did the original plus 3 more resets fork an shock..i knew how i wanted it an i think he knew excactly what setting i was gonna land...yeah the HRC FACTORY TEAM setting..he nailed it then i could retire from racing...hah hah not kidding...it cool to hear race tech gold valves are still used...a man told me the stock bike is set up so it wouldnt bottom for a 250 guy an it works decent for the 150 pound rider so its not perfect....its better in 2023 then then the 90s 80s 70s...come on kids got no clue
OEM foot pegs are average at best on this bike IMO. Left hand peg is out from the frame and there is some feedback that you’re riding on the bracket instead of the peg. Good recommendation on the pegs.
If ur gonna race an ride a lot it helps to get it valved...do the fork an shock mods....i road race a yamaha 750...an having ur racing suspension in Road racing doesnt count as a mod....because its more safety based..
They definitely have some inserts that’ll destroy boots in a hurry but I run the ones that come with the pegs on both my bikes and I’ve had the same boots for probably 3 years now I’d say over 120-150 hrs of riding if not more
Riding motocross, case covers aren't something that I would put too high on my list. Doesn't mean it's not a good upgrade thought. But not something I'd put in the first 5 things I would want on my bike. - Chase
Pretty much all 250's and 450's are right around the same seat height, but they are pretty tall. This bike is also sitting up on a stand. Thanks for checking out the video!
The seat on those New Yamahas is too rounded.....it's like sitting on a log ! Need a flatter top with rolled corners seat foam like the previous generation bikes.
Honestly, I haven't had any issue with it. Maybe it's just me, but I don't notice the narrow, rounded profile. I did just put a new seat cover on and am trying a bump for the first time and plan to do a ride review for it! - Chase
Yamaha YZ450F Upgrades: rmatvmc.link/top-5-yz450f-upgrades
Picked up a WR450F already checked off 3/5 things you’ve listed. Thanks Chase!

I've got a 450fx and the best mod for it was the G2 throttle tamer.
Thinking about getting one for my yz
@@imblamewaay2980 it slows down the throttle opening and makes the bike much better to ride
Upgrades people, UPGRADES! Awesome video!

You lost me at the clutch, I myself prefer the cable I like the control and feel you have with a cable.
Everyone has their own preferences and there are definitely advantages to both. Thanks for watching!
What a good suspension setup for a stock suspension 190lb rider racing moto x and air way mx Spokane

Right on! 👍

#1 Dropping the Dumblop operated tires. #2 Installing the Hoosier Tires. #3 installing the Racetech Gold Valves.
don't get those footpegs if you want to use the same pair of boots for longer than 2 months
They definitely have some inserts that’ll destroy boots in a hurry but I run the ones that come with the pegs on both my bikes and I’ve had the same boots for probably 3 years now I’d say over 120-150 hrs of riding if not more
For me: tires, fmf pipe, suspension upgrade, but wasn’t necessary for my weight, xring chaine.
Good stuff!
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Number 1 is a full exhaust and ECU
ride lessons be first thing
Rising lessons always help! 👍
honda next ?
what about case covers?

Can the fastway pegs be lowered on the 2023 yz450
I'll ask for you! Stay tuned. - Chase
That bike has a really tall stand. The bike is up at his chest.
