MXA’S WEEKEND NEWS ROUND-UP: IT’S ALL-YAMAHA WEEK, ALL THE TIME

• IT IS YAMAHA’S WEEK TO SHINE: WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO ON THE OTHER 51 WEEKS

2023 Yamaha YZ450F Shootout FTAThis was the week of weeks for Yamaha. They celebrated 50 years of YZ production with a special throwback edition; They got Eli Tomac to sign a one-year deal for the 2024 season and they introduce all of their all-new 2024 Yamaha YZ250F (plus all of their 2024 offerings from the PW50 to the YZ65 to the YZ85 to the YZ125 to the YZ250 to the YZ250F to the YZ450F).

ELI TOMAC’S REHAB AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, SO HE’S READY TO RACE

Yamaha Racing also announced this week that Eli Tomac will return to racing in 2024. It was thought that his Achilles tendon rupture at the end of the 2023 Supercross season would force Eli to retire, but his rehab has gone well, and although he isn’t ready to ride yet (and will not be racing at the SuperMotocross Playoffs in September), he will be on the line for the opening round of the 2024 AMA Supercross series in January

THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY YZ EDITION


When you decided to buy a brand new Yamaha motocross bike in 2024 you can choose the traditional blue model or the throwback white Anniversary Edition (above).

• THE GREATEST DEAL IN MOTOCROSS! SUBSCRIBE TO MXA & GET $25 ROCKY MOUNTAIN CREDIT & A YEAR OF MX FUN

This is the cover of the August 2023 issue of  MXA. On the cover is Pro Circuit’s Yamaha YZ125 project bike and the 2023-1/2 GasGas’ MC450F Factory Edition.  Inside are full-length tests of the  2023 Honda CRF450WE Works Edition (not to mention the 2023-1/2 MC450F Factory Edition) and a retro test of the 1999 Suzuki RM250 two-stroke. We take a close-up look at the 1976 Yamaha OW25—a bike that has a unique history because before the start of the 1976 racing season, Yamaha pulled out of racing—leaving their American (and GP teams) to fire their veteran riders go and bring in three relatively unknown and lower-paid  youngsters. The three USA riders were Rick Burgett, Danny Turner and Bob Hannah. Additionally, the MXA wrecking crew headed to Japan for the Kamisu City Beach Race (with a side trip to the Honda Museum). There is so much more inside. Did we mention the indepth interview with Brian Deegan? You’ll never know how much you have missed if you don’t subscribe?

• THE TOP 20 IN COMBINED SUPERCROSS/NATIONAL POINTS WILL BE SEEDED INTO THE 2023 SUPERMOTOCROSS PLAYOFFS

Chase Sexton 2023 Washougal National-0898Chase Sexton (23) leads the SuperMotocross points with 590 total points. 

The season ending, three-race, SuperMotocross Playoffs will pay out $5.5 million dollars, but to be eligible to race the Playoffs you have to finish in the top 20 in combined  Supercross and Motocross points (an additional ten riders in each class will be seeded into a Last Chance race that only advances two riders into the Playoff round). At this point, there are still three AMA Nationals to go before the final points tally is complete. Thus, the top 20 listed here, although accurate for the next two-weeks (during the break in the National series), they will not necessarily be accurate after the final AMA National. Additionally, several riders in the top 20 in both classes will not be racing the SuperMoto Playoffs because of injury—like Eli Tomac in the 450s and Jeremy Martin in the 250s. Plus, Jett Lawrence is in the top 20 in both the 450 and 250 classes—and he will not be racing in the 250 division.

Jett Lawrence 2023 Thunder Valley National-7950Jett Lawrence (18) is fifth in total combined points, based solely on his 450 Nationals points because he didn’t race any premier class Supercross events in 2023—only 250 West races.

• MXA VIDEO TEST: MXA’S KTM 366SXF ULTIMATE VET PROJECT RACER

• MXA PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: WORKS CONNECTION 2023 YZ450F FORK ADJUSTERS

Works Connection’s all-new fork adjusters for the 2023-2024 YZ450F are machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and are designed to replace the stock plastic adjusters. By utilizing a four-flute design the Works Connection adjusters knobs are slightly taller to allow for easier adjustments with a more solid detent.

With a special magnesium color and laser etched +/- markings for reference, the 4-flute design is much easier to use with or without gloves on. It is also easier to gain access to the fork bleeder screw due to the smaller size adjuster. The retail price is $39.95 at www.worksconnection.com.

• 2023 AMA NATIONAL TV SCHEDULE: DON’T WASTE ANY TIME SEARCHING FOR A RACE THIS WEEKEND OR NEXT—THE NEXT RACE IS ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 12

The 2023 Unadilla National will be on Peacock at 1:00 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, August 12. There will also be  an NBC network version at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday and a Monday replay at 2:00 a.m. in the morning on CNBC.

• THE TOP TEN IN 250 & 450 POINTS HEADING INTO THE TWO-WEEK BREAK

Jett Lawrence 2023 Washougal National-0224Jett Lawrence has a 95-point lead over Dylan Ferrandis in the 450 title chase heading to Unadilla. If Jett sweeps Unadilla, like he has every 450 race this season, he will have 450 points and the best that Ferrandis could earn is 44-points (if he went 2-2). That means that Jett would have a 101-point lead going into the final two rounds at Budds Creek and Crawfordsvile. And since there is only 100 points left to win in the final two rounds, Jett will be the Champion if he goes 1-1 in Unadilla.

• TALK MOTO WITH ON MXA’S FACEBOOK GROUP CHAT

We love everything moto and want to bring all moto junkies together into one place to share their two cents, ideas, photos, bike fixes, bike problems and much more. To check it out, you  need to have a Facebook account. If you don’t, it isn’t much work to get one (and you could even have an alias so nobody knows it is you). To join MXA’s Facebook Group, click HERE. After you request to join we will accept your request shortly after.
