Watching the pros change seat covers like it’s the easiest job in the world! 😳 Jago Geerts’s #mechanic Yves Baeten changes Jago’s seat cover after two events. A lot of riders change their seats & seat covers for every event, but Jago prefers his seat to be worn in. Maxime Renaux & Calvin Vlaanderen, on the other hand, like their seats to be rock hard, so they change theirs frequently! #MXGP #Motocross #Yamaha #Infotainment
The FIM Motocross World Championship has noise restrictions with MX2 capped at 109db. Ahead of each round, the teams will have their bikes tested for sound & they will also take their spare #Akrapovic exhausts to be tested too. So, this means they need to do a quick change of exhaust at the testing station. This is what it looks like. #Yamaha #Exhaust #SoundCheck #YZ250F #Motocross
In MXGP, the riders go out for a sighting lap approximately 10 minutes before gate drop. After they get in from the siting lap, they have the remaining time to get ready to go to the gate, which is usually between 2-5minutes. Most riders will change their rear wheel in this time, however, on this occasion, we didn’t, because the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MX2 riders did their sighting laps on their spare bikes, instead of their race bikes.

Most of the top riders in #MXGP run foam around their gear & brake levers. This is to prevent mud from clogging up in those areas. Here is how @Mano Faure’s #Mechanic Loic Bacquet does it! 🔧 ✨ #Motocross #MXtips #LifeHack
A frantic 10 minutes to prepare the bike after two muddy practice laps that lead straight into a race. Before the riders head out, the bike has quite a bit of duct tape on it, so the mechanics can easily get most of the mud off. It’s very tight & busy down on the gate so it’s hard to capture, but you’ll get the jist. Drop any questions in the comments! #LifeHacks #Motocross #MXGP #Yamaha #YZ125 #Mud
Race teams LOVE carbon fibre.. 😍 Here’s a look at some of the every day items used by one of the Yamaha #WorldSBK teams made out of carbon fibre. And there is a reason, too! Obviously race teams carry a LOT of freight, so every little weight saving helps. Or maybe it’s just because it looks cool. What do you think? #fyp #superbikes #carbonfiber
