    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

      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.

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 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.
