Matt, don't listen to the clowns in the comments. You've earned everything you have, and you still deserve more. No one is a better representative of the sport than you. Keep shredding that 450! I wish that I was half the rider you are!
I run the stock map on mine, fmf slip on, the one thing to note about this bike is that its EXTREMELY sensitive about sag, a lot of guys have figured out that 97-102 is about the full range and 1mm does actually make a big difference. If you want to run about 105 you can SUCK those forks up but otherwise the front will push a lot. That bike really wants the front end loaded. I LOVE mine. Doesnt get any better for a 450. Beyond that set your rider triangle and rock my dude. Stoked for ya. I run 10mm fork height to help keep the front loaded, 100mm sag, turns on a dime and carves hard. Bars front mount flipped rear, 999 bend renthals, -5-5 raptor pegs @ 6'2. I went down to .49 springs up front and I run the stock shock spring @160lbs. You might try going one lighter on the fork springs it really helped smooth the bike out. The rider triangle on that thing looks like it was made for you, form looks great. i was going to ask how you liked the keefer map, i honestly have been lazy which is why mine is not changed, also coming off a rowdy 300 2 stroke its a lot but it kinda makes me smile still despite how tired it makes me. Race day i dont think it would be a good idea come second moto to run the stock map lmao. congrats and enjoy man you deserve it.
The smooth keefer map looks great! Great to see you on a bike Matty, sucks about the one being stolen but I have found life always has a way of working things out, can’t wait to see what comes to the channel moving forward
Can’t believe the hate I see in the comments sometimes. Keep on doing what you do man! As someone who doesn’t get to ride us much anymore, seeing you travel and ride keeps my love for the sport going strong.
Looks like you turned onto 211 and went south toward Red Springs. Keep straight onto the Shannon rd and come out about 4 miles west of Lumberton back onto 211, Old shortcut from the Montrose racing days. Also you planning any east coast nationals with the new 450?
So sick haha. Was so happy to see yz 🙏🏻. Those mellow maps are where it’s at. Keep those on and your style will change so quick. You definitely were trying to ride it like a 2 stroke but by the end you were flowing great. So happy dude, now get it figured out by shoug! 😂😉
Congrats on the new bike! Since you said you liked the Keifer smooth map best check out a new video put out by RacerX with Keifer and Jamie from twisted development testing out a new throttle body from RP and upgraded ECU that made a fully molded YZ KTM smooth. Keifer said he loved it. Bad news is that it's $2300 bones, but maybe you could get a better deal than that. Hope you find this info useful. Another great video!!!
Good choice, I hope this means we will see you do some outdoor this year. I will miss the smoke but also I have felt guilty encouraging you to keep racing it. At least now you have a fair chance at qualifying and keeping up with the pack.
Looking good Matty B dig the new bike bro that's one I want as well plus don't have to rebuild them as much as the 250s. Glad some good luck came you way bro hate that bad juju triangle is gonna have tho
I'm liking my new YZ450F also. I'm only about half that pace though. By the last session, you were flying on it. Superfan needs one of these, he can run pump gas, no need for trick heads and porting, and more than he can handle. BTW, which bar setting did you go to? On the zero setting they do seem high.
Congrats on the new bike! Lesson demonstrated. Only pay cash for a bike. If you are financing a bike you are buying the wrong bike or not waiting and buying at the wrong time.
Yes!!! Bike of year my friend, looking great out there. I’ve searched Keefer’s site for the smooth map and only see the control torque, exciting connect, and 2 race day maps. Are you referring to own of those or have I missed it? I’d also love to calm this beast down a bit for my complete lack of talent 😂
Lookin good Matty! I was going to ask if you think the arm pump is worse on the 250 two smoke or the 450? When I went to the 250 I found the arm pump was way worse 😂
Thank you! No plans reallly besides local racing as of now, my health still isn’t consistently good enough to take on the nationals right now! Maybe 1 or 2 at the end if anything
@@mattburkeen820 so I live in northern Michigan eh just went to Ontario to train at a place called runway park with Ryan Nolan and let me tell you it was a gnarly Sandtrack in a dune basically. I’m on a kick of wanting to try and qualify for some Canadian nationals next year as an old guy! We probably won’t be at redbud either haha
Well...folk hero status went down a few notches...just the way it is. However, from a competition standpoint, it makes sense. Why bang your head against the wall when money is on the line? If it was just glory, then a 300 2 stroke would be fine. Gonna be weird though.
@@mattburkeen820 yea everyone is different and all the bikes are different for sure! I like the zuki better then my old yami, nothing but problems with the yami 250f
Taking handouts left and right I see.
Yea I bet you’d turn down help right? 😂🤡
@@mattburkeen820 actually I have. Sorry you're offended.
@@jerrynelson3386 congrats man bet you’re proud of yourself keep it up 😂😭

Lol jealous much

Thank you I really appreciate it, glad things are back trending in a better direction! Very thankful

Legendary! As of now not planning on it but you never know where I’ll show up!
Love the sound of these 450s. The sound they make coming towards you is awesome because of the airbox.
Makes them sound so mean!
So sick haha. Was so happy to see yz 🙏🏻. Those mellow maps are where it’s at. Keep those on and your style will change so quick. You definitely were trying to ride it like a 2 stroke but by the end you were flowing great. So happy dude, now get it figured out by shoug! 😂😉

Hey brother congratulations so pumped you stayed blue crew. What a machine
Thank you, she rips!!
Good choice, I hope this means we will see you do some outdoor this year. I will miss the smoke but also I have felt guilty encouraging you to keep racing it. At least now you have a fair chance at qualifying and keeping up with the pack.

Thank you! Yea 100% financing doesn’t sound like what I need to do for a dirtbike
Blucru fofiddy, lets gooo, u gonna be roosting some people during nationals💪💪
Idk if I’ll be doing any nationals but hopefully I’ll be roosting people at the local races!
@@mattburkeen820 💪 with the current form and only getting better on the 450 Im sure u will end up doing a few nationals😁 You look great on that thing
I know you a 2T guy for life but definitely need that 4 stroke in the National races !! Mattttttttyyyyyy 🔥🔥🔥🔥😂👍🏻
Idk if I’ll do nationals anymore but at least I have this for if I decide to!!
Damn that looks fun. Congrats on the bike!
Thank you! Had a blast!!
2 stroke 4 stroke he strokes she strokes. Dirt bikes kick ass congratulations dawg!
Thank you I appreciate it!!
Congratulations. Best wishes for the future racing.
Thank you I really appreciate that!!

Not really planning on it but you never know!
@@mattburkeen820 no choice.. 😏
Happy for you man! Congrats
Thank you so much!
Happy for you, man. I love the 2 smokes, but I've been secretly hoping you'd get yourself a 450. 🤙romp it baby, lets go!
Thank you I appreciate it! Still keeping at least 1 two stroke too!!
@@mattburkeen820 have to!
I mean no choice! Hahaha
So sick!!!! Now you can get up them hills......
Damn right!! She barks
Heck yeah! New bike day! Nothing quite like that feeling of pulling on the track with a freshy. Almost feels like someone else’s bike! Haha
Still can barely believe it tbh!
Congrats on the new bike! Keep shredding!
Thank you!!

Thank you!
Looks like she's got plenty of pep....
Good luck with your new wheels Matt !

@@mattburkeen820 🤙🤙🤙
Dude, you look fast on this bike! Ready for outdoors!
Thank you! No plans for outdoors but you never know where I might show up!
As Matt would say, Yeeeoooooo!!! Looking great there Matt, super great riding! Love the yz. Damn you can ride!!
Thank you I appreciate it!!
Looking dialed on the 450 already! Looks like she pulls hard
Thank you! It’s crazy fast
Ohh man this is exciting news! You deserve to be the thrower of roost!
Thank you I couldn’t be more stoked!!
That new yz is awesome 👍
I’m digging it!!
That’s awesome so will you be starting to race your new four stroke 450 instead of the two-stroke 250?
I’m planning to race both!
Awesome, congrats!
Thank you!
Yes!!! Bike of year my friend, looking great out there. I’ve searched Keefer’s site for the smooth map and only see the control torque, exciting connect, and 2 race day maps. Are you referring to own of those or have I missed it? I’d also love to calm this beast down a bit for my complete lack of talent 😂
I am just using his race day maps, and thank you!!
Congratulations Matt!!
Thank you!!
Hell yeah Bro. As much as we all love 2 Smokes. You got no choice to ride a thumper if you want to be competitive. Congrats.
Thank you!!
Dude, with the Keefer map you are shredding it so fast it looks like you changed the camera angle
Haha thank you angle stayed the same just started twisting!
Dang that bike sounds nasty Matt! Stoked to see what ya got in store for us this year 👍
Thanks man I appreciate it I’m stoked for future endeavors!
Nice YZ, Matt.
Enjoy.🙂
Thank you!
Sooo clean that Yzf 450. Happy to see you in that one. 😍😍✊🏽
Thank you!!
let’s gooooo dude !! so happy for you
Thank you I appreciate it I’m stoked!!
Looking filthy already on the yz. Love to see it brother God bless
Thank you!!
congrats on the bike. Just curious why you did not buy a 24 250 smoker?
Thank you! And I already have 3 two strokes definitely didn’t need to make it 4! Just trying to get them all back together
Top work Matt,racing the 2smoke is a blast but those 450s just pull ya
You got that right! And thank you!!
Nice! Hope you have a good season 🤙
Thank you!!
Lookin good Matty! I was going to ask if you think the arm pump is worse on the 250 two smoke or the 450? When I went to the 250 I found the arm pump was way worse 😂
Thank you! The arm pump was actually not too bad on this
Congrats dude.
Thank you!
beyond stoked for you , cant wait to see how you do in nats. with better more up to date equip. , how many outdoors you gonna run this year???
I’m not sure if I’m gonna do any outdoors this year but thank you!
Looking good on it already. What's your plans this summer brother ?
Thank you! No plans reallly besides local racing as of now, my health still isn’t consistently good enough to take on the nationals right now! Maybe 1 or 2 at the end if anything
are we going to finally see matty b 450 national?
Not in the plans but maybe a round or 2 at the end of the season would be cool if I’m feeling good!
Dude you look way faster on that thing
Thank you!
How was it getting to relax on the ole 4 stroke alittle bit?
Pretty fun!
This is huge for the contract😎
Most definitely!
SET MAP TO -6 AT LOW RPMS FUEL ALSO IGNOTION, -3 AT MIDDLE, ZERO AT HIGH. MUCH EASIER TO RIDE.
Might have to try that!
I heard a rumor. Are you filling in for Webb & Tomac?
That would not be very smart spending by all involved if true 😂😂😂😭😭
Got to ride blue. Might get a Star try out at the farm!!!!!!!
Haha idk about that but I’m digging the bike!!
Nice one mate! They are a nice thing
Thank you!
So awesome, no more taking Nam to the first corner..
🤘🏻🤙🏻
So much cleaner with that thing in my opinion, sick bike matt!
Thank you!
I better see you at Reddddd Buuuuuud mister! I’ll be in the slow guy class 25+ I want to shake your hand brother 👊
I don’t think I’ll be there but you never know! Maybe amateur day would be fun!
@@mattburkeen820 so I live in northern Michigan eh just went to Ontario to train at a place called runway park with Ryan Nolan and let me tell you it was a gnarly Sandtrack in a dune basically. I’m on a kick of wanting to try and qualify for some Canadian nationals next year as an old guy! We probably won’t be at redbud either haha
I knew it was a Yamaha brother hahahaha now send it to the mooooon!!! Good luck Matty B RIP IT!! #MATTTTTY
Thank you!! Yessirrr 🤙🏻
Smooth linear is where it's at for stock. But arm pump is in the contract.
Man it felt like rough non linear 😂😭
@mattburkeen820 I think it's just man mode, and I guess I'm still going through puberty on the ol four fatty.
Me too hahahaha
You almost got me in the beginning with that Honda in the back i was nooo whyy lol
Hahaha that’s the stark! I figured that would throw some people off
lol It sure did I totally forgot you had one awesome video man and I hope to see videos of you racing this summer!
Nice! I just bought a 2023 KTM 250SX (used) and that is the store that sponsored the bike!
Do you know Lane Runion?
Hell yea! I sure do!
@@mattburkeen820 Tell him I bought his bike 😂😂 Had his decals on it! Same one that blew up in his Instagram post 😂😂
🐝🏁 Right on Matt new bike 👍👌
🤘🏻🤙🏻
Well...folk hero status went down a few notches...just the way it is. However, from a competition standpoint, it makes sense. Why bang your head against the wall when money is on the line? If it was just glory, then a 300 2 stroke would be fine. Gonna be weird though.
Don’t worry I’m not giving up my 2 strokes anytime soon or ever! This is just an addition
I knew u were gonna get a yz..best 450 the last couple years. This year clearly it is..plus I think your a yz guy anyway
Yea you nailed it!
It woulda been cool if you got a yellow kickstarter 4fitty
No chance! I hated my Suzuki it made me quit for a little
@@mattburkeen820 what didn’t you like about it? I love my zuki🤙🏼
Handling, power, I hate to say it but I didn’t really like any of it 😭 everyone’s different tho!
@@mattburkeen820 yea everyone is different and all the bikes are different for sure! I like the zuki better then my old yami, nothing but problems with the yami 250f
Like riding a horse is it 😂😂
CONGRATS man im excited to see you rip this 450 screw those jealous crybabies
Thank you I really appreciate it!!
Congrats dawgs
Thanks homie!
Gonna b a great bike for ya MB 🔥💪✌️
I’m stoked on it! Thanks for watching!!
Awesome bike bruhhhhhhhh💯
Thanks!!
Flying! Whats the name of the dealer that helped you with the bike? They're doing God's work and need rewarded with lots of TH-cam love.
Thank you! Sport durst powersports, great folks!!
Have to change the name of this to the carnival section with all the clowns in here 😂 good lord!
Hahahaha never fails!! 😂😂
Yeeoowww!! That would feel like cheating compared to 250
Totally!
MOVE CLUTCH LEVER TO RIGHT FAR POSITION, MUCH EASIER TO USE CLUTCH WITH ONE FINGER.
WHY ARE WE YELLING?? 😂
No more mixin gas. Dam bro
Don’t worry the 2 strokes are sticking around!!
Hope you qualify and get into more out door Motocross this season Best of luck Bro
I’m not sure I’m gonna do any nationals but thank you!
