Fasst Company announces 2009 Flexx Handlebar System GNCC Team

Fasst Company, the manufacture of the 100% American Made Flexx Handlebar System is looking forward to another great year in the GNCC series. Over the off season Fasst Company’s race support director Chris Avery strove to help the numerous riders applying for Fasst Company’s Flexx Handlebar System controlled pro and amateur teams. “We’ve worked really hard to have the best of the best on Flexx Handlebar System; the demand for it at all levels of racing is extremely high. Putting together another strong GNCC program was a challenge; I wanted to get everything right for each rider. We work hard to have a great relationship with each rider, while striving to provide all the performance we can to allow them to perform at their best. Our guys are strong, pumped and ready to go!”

Fasst Company is anchoring their team once again by re-signing nine time GNCC champion Bill Ballance. Bill took home four race wins in 2008 and won the championship by over forty points. Look for Bill to run his usual number 1 plate on his Flexx Handlebar controlled YFZ 450.

Joining Bill, will be the factory KTM team. Leading the KTM team into 2009 is Adam McGill. Adam won four rounds in 2008 and is ready to make a run at the championship this season. Alongside McGill on the Flexx Handlebar System controlled Factory KTM’s will be Josh Kirkland and Angel Atwell.  Fasst Company’s race support director Chris Avery stated, “I am really excited about having McGill back. He called me all winter to make sure we got this deal done, he didn’t want to race without the Flexx Handlebar! We are stoked to continue our relationship with Adam, Tim Farr and the Factory KTM team.”

Continuing through the roster of Flexx Handlebar controlled riders in the GNCC series are Factory Yamaha’s  2008 XC2 Champion Donald Ockerman, Johnny Gallagher and GT Thunder’s Brandon Sommers. Ockerman made his debt in the XC1 class at the end of 2008 and took home the runner up spot in both races. Brandon is coming off a strong 2008 where he ended the year in 5th. Brandon said, “thanks to the Flexx Handlebar System I can charge through rough sections a lot harder without feeling any fatigue in my little arms”.

Fasst Company has also signed Traci Cecco, Lexie Coulter, Taylor Kiser, Walker Fowler, Warnett/ Can-Am, Mike Penland, Cody Anderson, Kevin Johnston, Santo Derisi, Bryan Cook, Shawn Hess, Brandon Ballance, Kristen Atwell, Jennifer Albright, Bryan Buckhannon, Jerime Dudding, Dirk & Luke DeCesare, Todd Demaree, Michael Swift, Parker Jones, and other select racers.

2008 Women’s Pro champion Traci Cecco will be running her usual Flexx Handlebar Controlled Factory Yamaha YFZ 450 again in 2009. While testing in the off season Avery said, “Traci is an unbelievable rider and watching her battle for the 2008 championship was awesome. I am looking forward to working with her again in 2009.”

In all Fasst Company supported riders brought home 11 championships in the 2008 GNCC series. We look to continue our dominance on the track in 2009. Be sure to stop by the pits of any of our team riders this season to see the latest Fasst Company and Flexx Handlebar products.

Quad Magazine spotted Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Josh Creamer testing his factory Kawasaki quad at Glen Helen today, preparing for his assault on the 2009 AMA ATV Motocross National Championship Series. Under the watchful eye of Team Manager and ATV legend Jimmy White, Creamer tested both his and Chad Wienen’s KFX450Rs on the brutally rough Glen Helen Raceway Park track, site of next weekend’s series opener. Enjoy!

QUAD Magazine caught up with Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Dustin Wimmer as he prepared for next weekend’s opening round of the AMA ATV Motocross National Championship Series. The defending champion looked blazingly fast aboard his factory Quadracer, and he has high hopes of holding on to his hard-earned number-one plate.

Exclusive Spy Video from Yoshimura Test Session!

Hey motocross race fans—we’ve got exclusive spy video of Doug Gust and Dustin Wimmer testing their 2009-spec Yosh/Suzuki Factory QuadRacers out at Glen Helen Raceway in SoCal. From what we can tell it looks like the team guys are going to be riding with some support from Parts Unlimited—we can see that they are wearing Moose riding gear and Alpinestar boots for the upcoming season. It’s hard to tell, but it also looks like they are wearing Fulmer helmets as well.

It certainly looks like there has been a few changes to their program for this year! And we can tell you right now that the two guys were rippin’ it up. The bikes look and sound mean!

We can’t wait for the season to start—it’s shaping up to be an epic year at the races!

Now, before all of you out there comment that you’ve already seen this truck - I know it’s not new. If I’m not mistaken, this Suzuki concept truck actually first showed up at a Japanese auto show in 2007.

I was online late last night looking for some Suzuki logos (to run with another story on our site) and I came across a cool gallery of pics showing off this Suzuki X-Head concept vehicle. I remember when I first saw the pics last year and I thought the truck was the coolest thing I had seen in awhile—a lot of people have commented that it looks like an old-school Tonka truck (which is a toy that I grew up with, so I could definitely relate!).

Anyway, seeing these pics again got me thinking… If this truck were to hit the market “as is” like you see it in these pics, would you buy one? And I say “as is” because most “concept” vehicles that actually end up going into production rarely look like they did at the concept stage.

I for one would buy one in a heartbeat. I don’t know about you, but I think this truck would be a big hit here in America. Seriously - what man over the age of 35 wouldn’t want their own personal Tonka truck to haul his quads around in style?

Drop some comments below and let’s show Suzuki that the quad world would support a company that makes both cool quads and cool trucks!

The words came as a shock to most. At the 2008 Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series banquet, Team Yamaha’s Bill Ballance announced that he would retire from full-time competition at the end of the 2009 season. The nine-time GNCC Champion from Kentucky hopes to retire on top by concluding a decade of domination, but he also wants his competition to know he’s leaving, so they will be ready to get one last shot at him. Ballance’s charge for a final GNCC crown begins this weekend at the 2009 GNCC season opener, the Part Unlimited River Ranch GNCC in Lake Wales, Florida. ATV riders will practice on Saturday, February 28, and race on Sunday, March 1.

“I’m letting everyone know right now so they can come at me hard for next season,” said Ballance at the banquet in November. “I’m 32 years old, and I’m going to try to go out on top with ten-straight. I still have the fire in my gut, and I’m still going to push it as hard as I ever have. But mark it down, this will be my last run as far as I can tell, so I want everyone to get one last shot at me and give it 100 percent.”

Of course, Ballance reserves the right to change his mind and go for ten again in 2010 if he fails this season. And a host of riders would like to create that scenario. At the head of that pack comes Rockstar/Yoshimura Suzuki’s Chris Borich, who won last year’s Florida race and took second in the 2008 standings-his fourth-straight season as the GNCC runner-up. Borich may hail from Pennsylvania, but he possesses impressive sand skills since he spends his winters in Florida.

KTM’s Adam McGill broke out last year when he won three-straight races early in the season and looked like a championship lock. Bad luck eventually derailed his title bid, but McGill expects more consistency in his second season with KTM. Last year’s outstanding rookie, Yamaha rider Brandon Sommers, carded fourth in the final standings and showed a combination of focus and consistency rare for a rider with so little experience. Expect a big jump in speed from Sommers this season.

Bryan Cook will fly the DeRisi racing privateer flag again in 2009. Cook won a race last season and stood closest to Ballance in the standings at mid-season. Cook’s strong run last year gives him plenty of confidence for 2009. Local favorite Taylor Kiser, who hails from Alvord, Florida, switches back to Yamaha equipment after a solid year on the KTM team where he finished sixth in the standings.

The entire top ten of the final 2008 GNCC standings featured riders capable of winning races this season. GT Thunder Yamaha’s XC2 Champion Don Ockerman will graduate full-time to the XC1 class, and Ockerman already served notice of his abilities by landing podium finishes in both of his XC1 races last year. Popular veteran William Yokley picks up a factory Polaris ride this year, and the National Guard-backed rider expects to run up front on his new machine. Veteran Matt Smiley and sophomore Jarrod McClure can’t be counted out of the running, either. And the Warnert Can-Am Team sends Chris Bithell back into battle this season. The 2007 series number three suffered from plenty of bad luck last year, but also won a race at Unadilla. Like McGill, Bithell hopes a year of testing on his new machine will result in more consistent finishes.

Ballance serves as the target. As a young racer coming through the ranks, Ballance chased seven-time GNCC ATV Champion Barry Hawk. After Hawk landed the 1999 title, he announced he would leave ATV racing to pursue the bike championship. “If I have one regret, it’s that I wish I knew that was my last chance to beat Barry Hawk,” said Ballance at the banquet. “Maybe I would have changed some things up instead of trying to develop a new bike that year. I want everyone to know this will be their last chance.”

The top pro riders will race as part of a full four-day GNCC weekend, which also includes amateur, Youth and ATV classes, all of which practice on Saturday and race on Sunday. In the amateur ranks, Yamaha’s Traci Cecco will begin her quest for an eighth GNCC Women’s crown, with competition from KTM’s Angel Atwell expected. GNCC Racing also offers four Utility and 4×4 classes as well.

A full slate of bike classes will compete at the race, too. Bike riders will practice on Monday and race on Tuesday. Pro races begin at 1 p.m. Two-day passes, which included full pit access, cost $15, and tickets are available at the gate. For more information on the event, go to www.gnccracing.com

If you’ve got new clutch plates for your quad, soak them overnight in oil before installing them. This allows the fiber clutch plates to absorb the most oil and expand to their fullest thickness before installation. This trick will make the clutch plates last longer and produce a smoother clutch feel than a quick dip in the oil before installation.

When installing a new clutch on your quad, swap out the old clutch springs for new ones. Clutch springs control the amount of tension that is applied when the clutch is being released (when the inner hub and outer basket begin to come back into contact with each other). Clutch springs generally fatigue 10 percent after only 10 hours of riding! So when you change your quad’s clutch plates, be sure to throw in some new springs, too.

New Shim Exchange Program offers

an easy and cheap way to get replacement shims

Alba Action Sports introduces a program which they are calling “Shim Exchange” for people who do their own valve adjustments. Up until now in order to adjust the valves on your vehicle you either had to take it to your dealer or buy a $90 + dollar shim kit comprised of way more shims than you need. Thanks to Alba this is no longer necessary.

Simply measure your valve clearances, decide which shims you will need, and order them from Alba. Return your old shims. The total cost to you is $12.00. All the info
is on their website at http://www.albaaction.com.

HELP STOP THE FEBRUARY 10TH BAN ON YOUTH OHVS

On February 10, 2009, a new law regulating lead content in certain products will go into effect. This could adversely affect companies that manufacture or distribute youth model all-terrain vehicles and off-highway motorcycles and parts and accessories for those vehicles. Dealers that sell and service those products would be impacted as well.

The Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA) and the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) have urgently requested the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and federal legislators to take a common sense approach to implementation of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act’s lead provisions.

SVIA and MIC have join ed several of their member companies in filing petitions with the CPSC for emergency relief from the provisions. They are seeking a temporary final rule to exempt ATV nd motorcycle components, parts and accessories in order to avoid major disruptions to enthusiasts, to the member companies’ businesses, and to the companies’ dealer network of thousands of small, independent businesses, which employ tens of thousands of Americans.

BRC is asking all OHV users to contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission and their elected officials today!

Use the following links to send your comments and to contact your Congressional Representatives. Included below is a sample letter regarding the potential ban of all youth-oriented OHVs, which starts February 10, 2009.

Yoshimura Offers Isotropic Superfinishing Process (ISF) for Better Engine Performance

Motorsport race teams around the world have discovered the secret of the ISF (Isotropic Superfinish) Process to keep their transmission and gearboxes cool and less likely to fail. This chemically accelerated deburring/polishing process uses high-density, non-abrasive ceramic pellets to remove microscopic surface peaks and valleys left from machining. The result is a highly uniform mirror-like surface that reduces friction and allows for increased lubrication. The result is an improved component that will operate at lower temperatures, provide increased durability, quieter operation, and increased time between maintenance.

Yoshimura offers this in-house service to the performance ATV and motorcycle enthusiast or racer who wants to improve gear life and power output as well as reduce costs and those pesky DNFs.

The Yoshimura ISF Process:

• Reduces friction
• Lowers temperatures
• Makes a smoother shifting action
• Creates a “freer” feeling engine
• Reduces break-in time
• Increases oil life span
• Quieter operation

Retail: From $230.00
Part Number: REM-Service

Please call Yoshimura for more details – 800-634-9166.

If your quad has drum brakes, check the brake engagement at least twice a year (you can’t do it too much, so check it before every ride if you want). Put your machine up on a stand and spin the tires, then slowly engage the brakes until the wheels lock up. Did one wheel stop sooner than the other? If so, adjust the brakes individually so they stop evenly. There is an adjuster on each drum, and they are not self-adjusting like disc brakes. They can engage differently because they are cable actuated. Adjusting them will help you out in the event of an emergency stop, where uneven braking could cause your quad to react improperly.
