Then they were on the FZ 750 and FZ 1000-the entire 5 valve line up was called Genesis. The exhaust servo was the next year. Yamaha has always been the ground breakers in new technology and bringing new product to the market. They came out with the 1st 4 stroke motor crosser, first 4 stroke snowmobile, first side by side, etc. etc.

Also one of the first to see the error of their ways ... ;)
2021 YZ250 :D

Got 2 YZ's. both old 06 2 smoke bikes. 125 and 250 cc They have power valves and it makes a BIG difference in the way they run. I pity the fool that has a new 250 4 stroke that tries to run with the 250 Yz 2 smoke.
Bought em new I think the 125 was 2850 bucks and the 250 was 3800 bucks. With helmets and gloves thrown in on the deal. :D
What was the error and when did they see it? AFAIK they never stopped making 2-stroke bikes, but they still make 4-strokes today which are quite popular. FWIW I still have my 1999 YZ250...Quote:

Chaz you said they made an error and then corrected it. What was the error and what did they do to correct it?
Is yamaha making an error running the max cc’s allowed for that engine by the rule books?
I’m watching.
Good , then I trust you saw that no pictures were posted in both post's #2569 and #2571Quote:

Since we're nitpicking, technically you didn't post a picture in #2570 either...Quote:

So either you were ignorant to the fact that they didn't stop making 2-stroke bikes, or you were mis-leading folks into thinking they did stop, "saw the error in their ways", and re-started. So which is it: ignorance or dishonesty?Quote:

That is where I saw the Turbines race for the first time. And the first time the Bud boat came to the pit turn at full speed, I actually got a little nervous for the driver.
Because of the high speeds it was taking the corners at.

Masonite/pegboard can hold a ton of resin. Its definitely a no-no in fiberglass construction. Pretty sure you would have to cover it with some kind of primer/sealer to keep it from continually absorbing the resin - resin itself won't seal it.Quote:
