MXA’S WEEKEND NEWS ROUND-UP: YOU CAN’T GO FAST WITHOUT LOOKING FORWARDS

CLASSIC MXA TEST RIDER PHOTO: RICKY JOHNSON’S TWO MXA TEST GIGS

Ricky Johnson flying the Motocross Action colors at Carlsbad Raceway in the January 1997 issue.

In the winter of 1986 Ricky Johnson asked MXA if he could ride our 1987 Honda CR125 for the January 1987 issue. We said “yes,” but that he had to wear an MXA jersey. He said, “No problem.”

In the January 1986  Ricky rode MXA’s 1986 CR250 for a test called “Rick Johnson Tests The 1986 Honda CR250R.” It turn out that even through this test was in the 1986 issue, Yamaha figured out that the only way Ricky could be on a Honda in the January 1986 issue was if he rode the bike in November or December of 1985—when he was still under contract to Yamaha. It was a big deal.

MXA TEAM TESTED: FLY RACING HOSE BENDER

The Fly Racing Hose Bender is designed to make filling the fuel tank of your bike easier, reduce spilling and angle the gas can hose towards the bike. This is such a simple idea that it’s amazing no one thought of it 30 years ago. The Fly Racing Hose Bender is a thick ABS plastic hook that you clip onto the filler hose on your VP, Pit Posse, LC, KTM, Slasher or Matrix gas can. The plastic attachment forces the flexible filler hose to bend downward at a 30-degree angle.

It couldn’t be simpler to install. You don’t have to remove anything from your gas can; you just slip the Hose Bender on the filler hose. All that is left to do is slide the Hose Bender up and down the filler hose to get the maximum bend. When your motorcycle is on a 17-inch-tall bike stand, you have to lift a 5-gallon gas can almost 4 feet off the ground to pour gas into your bike’s fuel tank. Worse yet, with the standard straight filler hose, you run the risk of spilling fuel while trying to get the end of the hose into the gas tank opening. A full 5-gallon gas can weighs 35 pounds, and when you add a 13-inch filler hose that doesn’t want to go into the 3-inch opening in the tank, you have trouble on your hands. But, once you install the Fly Racing Hose Bender on the gas can’s filler hose, you only have to lift the gas can to the height of the gas cap. Because the filler hose bends downward, you can easily slip the hose into the gas tank opening without straining. Plus, you can pour the fuel as fast or slow as you like, because the majority of the fuel in the gas can is being held level with the bike’s fuel tank.

DIGITS www.flyracing.com or (208) 319-3079—$4.95.

MXA RATING: This is the greatest $4.95 you will ever spend. Every time you pour gas into your bike, you will appreciate the Fly Racing Hose Bender more and more.

FLASHBACK! ONE YEAR AGO AT THE 2018 MT. MORRIS NATIONAL

Aaron Plessinger indulging in the fruits of his labor. 

On this day in moto (one year ago), the 2018 AMA outdoor National championship moved East to Pennsylvania for round four of the season. Coming into this round, the 250 class was shaken up due to defending champion Zach Osborne injuring himself in Thunder Valley. With points leader Jeremy Martin being the favorite to win, his confidence was at an all-time high. 450 points leader and defending champion Eli Tomac was the fan favorite to win in the premier class, but little did either of these riders know what the hot Pennsylvania track had in store.

Weston peickWeston Peick is on the sidelines in 2019, but was sixth in the 450 class at the 2018 Mt. Morris National.

Justin HillA year ago Justin Hill was trying to prove that he was a 450 rider—he did just that at Mt. Morris with a 4-6 day for a 5th overall.

Ken RoczenKen Roczen has his starts dialed these days. He went on to finish 7-3 (due to getting caught up the first turn pileup in the first moto). A 4th overall was not bad for K-Roc.

Justin BarciaJustin Barcia went 3-5 for a 3rd overall and a spot on the podium at Mt. Morris one year ago.

Marvin MusquinThe 2018 Mt. Morris National was a tough pill to swallow for Marvin Musquin. He won the first moto, but just couldn’t get around Tomac in moto two. The failure to pull the trigger in moto two (and he had Eli in his sights several times) resulted in Tomac keeping his win streak alive.  

Jason Anderson  broke his foot in a practice crash at Glen Helen in 2018 to end his 2018 Nationals hopes. Here he is getting carried off the track by Steve Westfall.

Eli TomacEli Tomac got pressure from Marvin Musquin in the closing laps, but in the end he emerged victorious for the fourth weekend in a row

OFFICIAL 450 OVERALL RESULTS (TOP 22)

  1. Eli Tomac (Kaw) 2–1
  2. Marvin Musquin (KTM) 1–2
  3. Justin Barcia (Yam) 3–5
  4. Ken Roczen (Hon) 7–3
  5. Justin Hill (Suz) 4–6

  8. Benny Bloss (KTM) 6–8
  9. Cody Cooper (Hon) 8–10
  10. Kyle Cunningham (Suz) 10–12

JEREMY MARTINThe last moto of the day belonged to the 250 class. Unfortunately, the Geico Honda team suffered bike problems all day, which cost them the points lead. Both Chase Sexton and Jeremy Martin’s CRF250s DNF’ed the second motos. 

Jeremy MartinRJ Hampshire made the most of a tough day for the Geico Honda Team. He finished 7-7 for a 5th overall.

Dylan FerrndisDylan Ferandis came back from an injury for Mt. Morris. He went 8-3 for 4th overall. What a way to make a comeback from injuries sustained in the Supercross series!

Justin CooperFerrandis’ teammate ,Justin Cooper, on the other hand, had a great run and kept himself in the spotlight all day. He went 3-4 for a 3rd overall on the day. 

Austin ForknerAustin Forkner made sure he inserted his name into the overall podium. He went 4-2 for a 2nd overall.

Aaron PlessingerBut the day and the overall belonged to Aaron Plessinger. A 1-1 clinched him the red plate coming into the next National at  Muddy Creek.

MXA TEAM TESTED: MUD MUCKERS HAND GUARDS

You may not be old enough to remember the original Mud Muckers, but back in 1976, World Class Products came out with what were undoubtedly the best hand guards ever made—especially for mud, rain or cold races. Used by Roger DeCoster, Jimmy Weinert, Tony D, Billy Grossi and Jim Pomeroy, Mud Muckers weren’t hard plastic hand guards that had to be bolted on to your handlebars; they were padded vinyl cloth hand guards that protected the rider’s hands from roost but were exceptional in a mud race because they would fold over the grips, throttle and levers so that when you picked up the bike after a crash, everything was clean. Fast-forward 43 years! Mud Muckers are back—only in a more compact shape with a simple Velcro closure system and a carbon fiber vinyl material that provides even more protection. Best of all is that they are being made by the same man who designed the originals!

Back in the 1970s, the original Mud Muckers sold for $8.95. Today, they cost $25. The old-school Mud Muckers were much longer and wider and had a cut-out that the looping throttle cables of the 1970s could exit through. Modern Mud Muckers are 13.5 inches long and 12 inches wide (the 12-inch width folds to form the top and bottom of the guard). We would prefer if they were bigger and the Velcro strap was longer.

Jimmy Weinert using the original Mud Muckers back in the good old days.

Not a single MXA test rider likes to race with plastic hand guards. A close look at the knuckles on their hands will reveal the foolishness of this. The best thing about Mud Muckers is that they lie flat in the bottom of your gear bag until you need them for a rainy day, freezing-cold day or rocky track. They attach to your handlebars in seconds and can be taken off without tools.

On the track, the Mud Muckers warded off roost, thanks to the 1/2-inch-thick foam padding. They were so flexible they didn’t interfere with our hands or fingers. The MXA test riders don’t think that they would choose to run Mud Mucker hand guards all the time, but they use them as a quick and easy set of hand guards to install for rainy days or surprisingly rocky tracks. The work really well on mountain bike also.

DIGITS: $25.00 (a pair)—(317) 844-4800, your local dealer or www.mudmuckers.biz.

MXA RATING: It is often said that there are no new ideas, only recycled ones. Mud Muckers are an old
idea that is still a good idea. Perfect for wet weather, cold weather and heavy roost days, they are a quick, simple, inexpensive insurance policy that everyone should have in the bottom of their gear bag.

CAN YOU NAME THIS HUSQVARNA RIDER?

motochleengejuneThis rider showed very good form coming out of the canyon at Saddleback. He owned his own gear company, won an AMA National Championship and made history in 1981. Can you name him? Answer at the bottom of the page. 

MOTORCYCLES YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE: THE 500cc “BAJA INVADER”

The 1969 Husqvarna 500cc Baja Invader twin was made in such limited numbers that it is possible that only 3 still exist today. Husky tried to use it as a road race engine, sidecar engine and motocross engine, before handing it to Malcolm Smith, Gunnar Nilsson and J.N. Roberts as a desert sled—thus the”Baja Invader” name. It won the 1969 Baja 1000.

MXA TEAM TESTED: 2018-2020 YZ450F POWERFLOW KIT

WHAT IS IT? Twin Air’s 2018–2019 Yamaha YZ450F PowerFlow kit solves a design flaw in Yamaha’s air filter design. The Yamaha airbox is not a very good design. Yamaha’s engineers dropped the ball on the original 2018 YZ450F air filter design and magnified the problem by not fixing it for 2019. The crux of the problem is that Yamaha’s flat, pancake-style air filter rests directly on the backfire screen of Yamaha’s downdraft intake system. Every time the engine pulses, which is typically 10,000 times a minute, the foam air filter is sucked against the wire screen. The constant vibration of the air filter sucks the air filter oil downward into the intake tract. The end result is that dirt can migrate through the now-dry foam. Additionally, the hole where the external cage’s pin goes through is not reinforced. Under the pulsing of the filter, the foam tears around the pin, creating a potential leak. Twin Air has two solutions for these issues.

Solution #1: At the very least, a 2018–’19 YZ450F owner should order Twin Air’s aftermarket air filter. Made from higher-quality and thicker foam, the Twin Air YZ450F filter also comes with a rubber grommet to reinforce where the cage pin goes through the filter. The finishing touch on the Twin Air YZ450F filter is a plastic spacer that plugs into the bottom of the new grommet and lifts the air filter 11mm above the YZ450F backfire screen. This stops the air filter from flapping against the wire screen.

Solution #2: The Twin Air YZ450F PowerFlow kit is the best all-around fix for the YZ450F airbox. With this kit, Twin Air replaces the stock sealing ring with an anodized aluminum mounting plate, gets rid of the backfire screen for uninterrupted airflow, adds a true-to-life internal filter cage (that supports a three-dimensional air filter), and finishes it off with a CNC-machined aluminum retaining knob to hold the filter in place. The design results in more air volume, increased air velocity, better sealing and peace of mind.

Installation couldn’t be easier. All it takes is a Phillips-head screwdriver and 20 minutes to swap the Yamaha parts for the Twin Air parts.

DIGITS? $259.95 (PowerFlow kit).—www.twinair.com or your local dealer.

MXA RATING: If you don’t replace your stock YZ450F air filter with one of the two Twin Air options, you are risking your bike’s top end. 

IF THIS WAS 39 YEARS AGO, THIS WOULD BE THE BIG RACE OF THE WEEK

The Carlsbad USGP was always held on this week in June, but it didn’t show on ABC-TV’s “Wide World of Sports” until December. Obviously with live TV coverage of Supercross and Nationals today that one-day showing seems terrible, but the “Wide World of Sports” showing of the USGP drew 30 million viewers. It was the highest rated Wide World of Sports show every year. And yes that is more viewers than all the 2018 race viewers combined.The late Marty Moates made history at the 1980 USGP on June 22. Yamaha ran this ad for him.
