TWO-STROKE SPOTLIGHT: PAUL HOEY’S 1998 YAMAHA YZ250

“I have just completed my 1998 YZ250 Ohlins 360cc Noleen replica. This bike was an original used and abused survivor. I completely restored and refurbished almost every part of this bike including a NOS Noleen race team ported Ohlins 360cc top end kit, UFO plastics, Throttle Jockey original Noleen race team graphics and seat cover, GP alloy fuel tank, Ohlins Shock, factory Krooztune Suspension KYB fork internals, Lightspeed Carbon Fibre Parts, Dynoport USA 360cc big volume exhaust pipe and carbon fibre silencer. Excel A60 rims, Talon hubs, Renthal sprockets, chain and handlebars. SCAR grips, Applied Racing triple clamps and Pirelli MX32 Pro tyres. It’s been awesome fun building this bike and I can’t wait to race it. –Paul Hoey from Australia

WHAT THE MXA WRECKING CREW IS UP TO

We got the factory bike assassin, Twisted Development RM-Z450 in the studio this week. We will be testing this fire breathing dragon later this week. This just might be the bike that Josh Grant will race if he doesn’t find a ride.

This Twisted Development engine can holeshot a Supercross 450 main event.

A POV of the cockpit.

The 2019 Husqvarna in the MXA studios.

MXA were the lucky ones that got our hands on Jason Anderson’s factory Husqvarna TC250. The Factory Husky team built this as close to his factory FC450 as possible.

The stock Mikuni TMX carb was replaced with the cleaner running Keihin carb.

Factory WP forks setup up for Anderson himself.

Then we got it out to Fox Raceway for get Jason to ride it. Then MXA‘s Dennis Stapleton got to test it.
