New 2011 HONDA CRF450 EXHAUSTS
While we applaud Honda’s direction, the stock exhaust, when sound tested, is drastically lower than current AMA standards leaving ‘power on the table by giving away dBs’ and pushing racers into dealerships to bolt on DR.D performance. Beginner riders to Professionals will instantly feel more bottom, mid, and explosive top-end power on the first ride with a DR.D exhaust.
While new part numbers were required for the exhaust, as mounting brackets on the 2011 are different than ‘09/10 CRF450, it should be noted that that DR.D Graphic Kit and Radiator Lowering Kit part numbers remain unchanged as each fits prior model year.
The 2011 CRF450 is available in Stainless Steel/Aluminum, Stainless Steel/Carbon Fiber, Titanium/Titanium; Titanium/Carbon Fiber variations. In addition, new for 2011 is the offering by DR.D of a Slip-On system for selected models, including, but not limited 2011 Honda CRF450.
Muc-Off Demo Day
MXA What We Want: Muc-Off 2-Liter Pressure Sprayer
Muc-Off’s 2 Liter Pressure Sprayer made Motocross Action Magazine’s What We Want: Cool Stuff on the MXA Must-Have List.
“Similar to a pressurized garden sprayer, only it comes filled with Muc-Off. It’s an eco-friendly option that lets you take advantage of Muc-Off’s 5-liter and 25-liter refills, and is handy for quick washes at the track as well as cleaning at home.”
Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda Team Returns to Unadilla

Ben Townley was coming off an injury he suffered at Washougal and Wil Hahn was back after shoulder surgery nearly two months ago. Cole Seely even spent some time on the sidelines with a broken nose and he was back at Unadilla as well.
AP Racing’s 2010 YZ450F MXA Project Bike
Check out pictures of the AP Racing 2010 YZ450F project bike, set up with gear and tweaking from AP Brakes, L.A. Sleeve, CP Pistons, Precision Concepts, Hinson Clutch Components, and Trick Racing Fuel. From Motocross Action Magazine:
“All in all, the (stock) 2010 Yamaha YZ450F is a good motocross bike—not a great one, though, because it needs more power, improved top end and a sleeker layout. To that end, the MXA wrecking crew ordered up four full-race, hopped-up 2010 YZ450F project bikes. We told Hot Cams, AP Racing, Yoshimura and Pro Circuit that there were no holds barred—choke holds, arm bars and knee drops were allowed. They were asked to build the ultimate expression of what a YZ450F could be.”
