Props to Star Yamaha for giving us this much detail. I remember a couple years ago when HRC Honda wouldn't even give away their final drive gear ratio on Roczen's bike.
Tomac and Craig are shining examples of what STAR represents imo, great people with level heads producing more great people and champions through teamwork.
100%...I'm hoping they both win their respective class titles. Tho it should be a lot easier for Craig compared to how competitive the 450 class is this year...JA, Sexton, Kenny and Ferrandis all look very good and will battling Eli through the remaining 13 rounds.
Facts
Congrats on the epic win Eli , very very happy for you .
LOL those are not Pro Taper Grips, they are Renthal Full Waffle. I guess Eli likes the Renthals better and Star is chill enough to let him rock them even though they are sponsored by Pro Taper. I can def see why Star is the best team because they will let you do anything even if it's against sponsors. As long as it makes you a better rider, that is badass.
Anyways, I'm so stoked to see Eli be himself and enjoy racing. Looks like he's having a great time with his team and bike. It suits him well. I hope he can be champ again this year. Star def has the best team/bike.
Star really turn the bike around because in the past when Factory Yamaha handle the riders they are limited to change so the riders are not comportable with the handing of the bike, While on the other hand Star Racing gives the riders freedom on what ever they want to make to the bike to suit their style. of riding
@@cyrilletamayo8459 So true. The results speak for themselves.
@@cyrilletamayo8459 True, just like Factory Kawi.
Was just going to comment the same on the grips🤣
@@Mad_Dad_MTB lol can't get anything past us
Round four Eli Tomac made it clear, he is definitely up to the task to fight for this championship. He looks more hungry than anyone out there he is a man on a mission ! ! Look out ET3 is coming hard !!
He looked fantastic last night at Triple Crown. Wow. Both he and Craig on those Yamahas are putting on a clinic.
@@patrickgiles2700 Right on 👍
Yeah just saw this up close in Anaheim! No wonder the tech kept checking the throttle play while I was walking by the pits. The throttle play is very important for the mind-muscle connection these guys have so they know how much is needed to hit what on the tight tracks of supercross. Congrats on the win!
Having worked with both Bob at ARC and Willy at LightSpeed for 15+ years, it warmed my heart to see some of their "goodies" on Tomac's factory steed. Both those companies have a ZERO compromise policy on production value and workmanship. If LightSpeed made cell phone cases, they would be the most perfect and sexy cases on the planet. Great stuff.
Beautiful Bike,Yamaha YZ450F the best AMA SX,Tomac the best #3🇧🇷🇧🇷💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏🏆🏆🏆✊✊✊🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is were he will shine 🤙
Star racing could have a chance to sweep every championship in 2022..
He needs more power. 👌 This outdoors is going to be better than the supercross
Right him and Dylan will be trading motos
Outdoors IS always better than Supercross!
for supercross he doesnt need more power but I'm sure they will give him a boost when outdoors come around
@@Davido50 outdoors has the worst filming of any pro sport.. that's why I don't like it ahaha atleast in a stadium u get to watch the whole race not 1/4th of it
Always is better, the SX fans are “ fake fans” imo. The real racing is the outdoors.
Beautiful machine. Always been such a huge fan of the Star Bikes since the beginning.
Same. Remember that video of Wil Hahn on style Yamaha at Langston place? Love that video
That extra start button was a bad ass idea
I moved mine right down in that same general area when I first got my bike. Also eliminated the launch control button and moved the map control button to the headset frame area. It's already proven to be a good mod on more than one occasion I woulda blurred all that shit.
Quite the impressive machine! 💫💯👊
The one we’ve all been waiting for 😁
Great bike. Using it as inspiration for a 2 stroke version, about half way there
Brilliant love that insight great production really put together well and love the music thank you much appreciated amazing seeing these fantastic machines up close..
Sweet in depth review. Thanks probably the best I’ve seen.
Beautiful yz450😘😍😍
Tomac rules 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻
2022 450sx champion right here! 🏆
What a beauti wish I had that bike. Impressed with STAR RACING. ENJOY YOUR SUCCESS. NEVER GIVE UP OR BACK DOWN. BRAAAAP
That's one awesome looking bike.
That bike is barking! I kinda of thought Eli’s best days were behind him but he looks faster than ever now.
Beautiful bike!
Definitely gonna tune in!!
Definitively need more BLUE on those factory Blue Cru squad !!! Black bikes was fmx 90 !
Wow, very informative and never realized how these bikes are so rider specific and hand built. Is Star Racing considered Factory Yamaha? Or is that a separate entity? Need some clarification on that please?
Star is factory yamaha
They took over factory Yamaha. Dylan was only staying on Yamaha if star took over the 450s. They took the factory bike and shaved 10-12 pounds off of it and it is getting better and better. Star is the only reason Eli went there, he wanted to get away from a fully corporate team.
Love these videos. Gives me good ideas. Also makes me want to clean my stuff.
Tomac I love you so much I am your biggest fan and no racer is better than you
Crazy how "stock"this bike is relatively. Goes to show you, it's 90% rider and 10% bike.
Not much stock about it.
Lol nothing stock about it. Plus they guard their mapping like a vault. Gives em
A crazy edge
Pretty impressive
Imagine demanding all these specific specs on a bike..and getting it at the snap of a finger 👀👀👀💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
"We run an RK chain" that says DID on it 🤣
THE CHAMP
really appeericate the depth
Lets get it on
You have the best questions Don.
Beautiful motorcycle
I’m surprised they add so much protective stuff. I would think they would go to great lengths to get rid of anything not needed 100%
I want that battery
Battle ready.
All that effort and we have wrinkles in the seat cover. 🥴 No hate comms though, I know they put their heart and soul into these bikes. The seat cover wrinkles are just a pet peeve of mine.

Still running renthal full waffle I dig it
Put a blue front fender on it. Please.
🇧🇷#03 sempre 👏💪🙏🇧🇷
I'd just like the discarded parts to build a bike.
I'm dreaming dirt bike 💖
# Eli tomac
What’s the suspension setup compare to his last bike
Cool soundtrack too
Great detailed walkaround funny i,m as old as Eli,s day Johnny T and have been doing alot of these tricks to my bikes for almost 25 years funny people hung shit on me back then throttle play is sooo important , is ET running tubes or mooses ?
13/50 I did NOT expect that.. hell I run 14/52 on my little 250 but then again im slow AF and ride trails. I just assumed all 450s ran 14 front and somewhere 49-52 rear. I mean... don't they have enough power for a 14 tooth front?! I love running 14 front, gives me SOOO much drive and saves a few upshifts and the bike is easier to ride in low grip tracks.
I think they need as much torque as possible to seat bounce a triple coming out of a turn
The engine has different gearing than you. It’s not even close to the same
Sick intro.
See those spoke cross sections tied together
So handsome, I really like the yamaha brand.
Pushing the rear axle not only helps with handling it reduces drag by a few %
It also helps your starts. Which I can see is Working lol awesome bike and team
Liked see how and why they do things.
I sure hope Yamaha is going to sell a copy of this bike, they'd sell a ship load of them
Threads are showing on one of your spokes?
I heard Eli used the rental full waffle on the Yamaha not pro taper waffle
That honda map switch lol
Wait....aluminum rear brake with ti pedal? What? And welded? Not possible. Bolted maybe?
It’s not welded to the pedal, uses a rivet/bolt same as stock
Does anyone know what LSF stands for? He said LSF a kit kyb
What is a rough cost of tomac’s bike?
Super cool! How much is this bike worth?
Why does his bike seem like his chain is on the loose side?when you hear him landing you can actually hear alot of chain slap.and does that throw off the handling with 5 lbs floating around
I thought the same thing when I got my 20' YZ450, but the service manual says it's right at spec. It hangs just like this one does
Which brand grip tape?
Name of the starting sound track
that throttle tube is the shit
I might’ve missed it but does anybody know on pros bikes how many gears do they use?
I was wondering the same. I don't think he mentioned it
I think they ride like 95% in 2nd and 3rd, occasionally dip into 4th on long straights. I don't think they use 1st at all? Actually, they might run 4th in the whoops sometimes, too. This is from (vague) memory from over the years.
use or have? They have 5 but only use 4 in outdoor...Supercross only use 3
@@kimojon9665 I meant to say have so thanks bro !
Back in the day Jimmy button and tim ferry had 1st gears removed and 5th was removed on the 426's for supercross. Ferry's 03 450 had only 3 gears aswell but they were 4spd already from the factory, very violent bikes during 03 and 04 even in stock trim.
I didn’t know RK made an ert3 chain..
Hello guys i am new to this sport is he riding 2 strokes or 4 any help is appreciated
Linda demais ✊✊✊🇧🇷🇧🇷
Down with the sickness
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
And Ken roczen
Those are renthal grips not pro taper, js.
1:51 mechanic says LSF fork I have never heard of that before. Did he mean PSF?
nope hes right LSF is a Air and spring fork, while the PSF is pure air
@@moto143 is it like the stock ktm one side air one side oil or is it a spring in a chamber then air in another above it? Or something like that
@@zacharycrockett9884 Yep
Mantap 👍
gak mampu org indo sPec full
Org indo jg sdh banyak yg punya mtor build up sprti KTM,KX,Husqivarna,yz juga cuman org tertentu yg berduit karna harganya yg lumayan mahal
saya udah tau bro .Aku 28 thn pakai se . yg saya maksud ga ada yang ful sPec racing factory .
@@hencetirta322 iy si bro..mungkin juga klo spek full factory juga gak di perdagangkan untuk umum,mungkin di buat untuk dunia balap,dan unitnya juga terbatas,seperti halnya motor untuk WSBK,biarpun motor dan mesinya sama,tp spek yg di buat untuk balap,dan di jual untuk umum pasti berbeda
that's a DID chain not RK, keep those sponsors happy now!
Where are the red plates
You mean "RENTHAL GRIPS" 😅
Not bad
Reed era factory Yamahas >
Wonder how much power that bike is putting out?
Too much for mortals
He actually said in an interview last weekend that he wanted more power 😳
What horsepower do these race bikes make?
اوووووه رهيب اتمنى يرخص سعره الى ٣الف دولار
If u have extra same extra bake u gave one if no problem
Home Depot grip tape ?
Do u guys think this has to be the best bike tomac has ever been on?
Brandon holland
I like how you claim its an RK chain when its clearly a DID. You dont run a sticker on the swingarm so you can claim its whatever you want. LOL I saw what you did there!!!
Those grips had renthal on them 🤷♂️
They are lol
8:50
That weld didn't last long
No lie people since they first showed up I been tryin to find out every way possible to get myself one of them fmf canister guards… I am ready to pay whatever for one so somebody hit me up
i have one.
Brookson how did you get it and where did you get it?
Only the best can win on a Yamaha RC never did lol
Não ligou a moto ?
They always claim the Engine is stock, Bullsh!t... factory 450's are pumping 80hp. reason they all need 100 octane fuel or they will have detonation issues. Nothing wrong with that, can't do that where I live, can't find any non-ethanol, let alone anything above 93.
