With a GET ecu and WiFi comm device it takes like 15 seconds to connect a cell phone and like another 3 seconds to upload a new map. I’m sure a lot of the teams are using this trick not just star
It's not a concern of open pipes. He's talking about a tune. Which yeah tunes can make a bike louder and more powerful or loud and less powerful vice versa etc etc
The Yami's are notoriously loud , everybody knows that . They certainly don't seem to have any advantage over other bikes on the track , Honda's and Kawi's usually end up getting the hole shots anyway . What makes the Deeg's different is he's a lunatic and rides "Balls to the wall" when others are not that crazy . Look at all the other Star guys , they always end up finishing way in the back.
I’m confused… so Star “may” have the ability to adjust their bikes to pass sound testing.. BUT.. they decided not to adjust for Smith & Anste so they pass the test?! Mmmm… interesting..
Yeah, it wouldn’t look suspicious that all their bikes wouldn’t run at sound test. Ok, makes a lot if since. 😂😂 Deegan already got caught with a cheater bike once. Using a bike that cost over $100,000 in the amateur races. I know it didn’t help that’s why they do it.
If i was racing Haiden and getting my ass kicked on a wedkly basis I would be looking for excuses also. That sounds way better than I just cant keep up with him.
imagine seeing all the sub-par results of just about every star rider besides deegan and still trying to pretend that the bike is the difference. These teams are beginning to get desperate because the handwriting is on the wall. From now onward and for the foreseeable future, there is going to be only one rider winning in the 250 class; His name is DNGR.
The question is "are Star Racing using tech to get around the exhaust sound test? Yet all the pro Deegan fans are answering with "sound test is stupid", "stop picking on Deegan" "Deegan can win on anything" "Deegans bike is actually slower and yet he is still kicking butt". In my eyes Deegan has had 1 strike already when he made sure nobody got to claim his bike(remember that?), now 2 strikes at Southwick when somehow the bike magically couldnt start for the sound test. One more strike and I would give him a holiday so that he rethinks his life choices in MX/SX and see if its worth throwing it all away just to cheat a little.
I seen somewhere that Chase’s dad said “my son has just past his 7th drug test this season”! Probably a subliminal to the test people to start testing everyone else the same? Dude gets drug test weekly cause he’s a machine!
@@troyhodulik5542 yea prob cause he won everything, what I'm saying is if Sextons been tested 3x or 10x then Jett and Hunter and other top riders should be tested the same amount!

This is a HUGE stretch Johnny I mean cmon lol. So Yamaha is so much more advanced than other bikes that Yami guys are sitting there with cell phones adjusting the loudness of their bikes ? What a bunch of BS . The other bikes are capable of the exact same thing . What exactly are the Yamaha's doing that the other bikes are not doing anyway ? Nothing !!! The only difference between the bike brands is the rider , Tom Valle's bike is more than capable of winning and so is Shimoda's , Chance Hymas's , Kitchens , Masterpools etc... the difference is one rider has the guts to twist the throttle more .
@MrIke303 You have to put ear plugs in even with the restrictions for SX. That is if you care about your kids. Nothing sader then to see a bunch of Rednecks at a SX race with babies or little kids and no hearing protection
Sound checks in a motor sport is ridiculous. As long as the engine displacement and other specs are in compliance it shouldn’t matter how loud the bike is.
"And other specs are in compliance" ...like sound. Keeps the fan experience bearable, keeps exhaust companies in business or else they'd do ridiculous things with the exhaust, and keeps the riders hearing intact.
@@jakerivets2249 Nationals tracks aren’t in urban areas….neither are drag strips, NASCAR tracks, open wheel tracks, super bike tracks….you get the idea.
This is a pretty interesting video, Johnny! Very interesting take on the performance enhancing testing. On that note, I was starting to ask myself the same thing here. I have a 24.5 KTM 450 and a 24 YZ450 both of which you can easily adjust the map within less than 90 minutes with the connected phone.
Hey Johnny I'd love to get your thoughts on Chase Sexton moto 2 i believe its 1st or 2nd lap, little off track excursion and re entry without giving up a position or looking to see if it was safe and full gas........ should this have been a 1 spot penalty.
Heaps of ways to do it to change map with out bluetooth. Gear position sensor. Speed. Clutch position. Would a map really make a massive difference to the sound in a sound check? I think lots of bikes over years have had different ignition timing in neutral to change the noise output slightly?? Maybe I’m wrong
Keep doing moto stuff like the cool line seltections etc. and be the bigger man and stay out the drama bro, it makes you look negative. Ive been subscribed for a long time. Don't let stupid shit drag your channel down please, Eat your cosco cookies and do your cool breakdown stuff!!!
Unless its in the rules that you can't change maps before sound testing, I'd say uts just gaming the system. If there is concerns then adjust the rules accordingly. Most rules come from people inovating around the rules that already exsisted.
Absolutely...what they testing sound anyway..the whole sight and sound is what creates the whole excitement of racing..cars or bikes..especially when its at professional rider or car drivers levels
The "sound rule" only makes sense in stadium hence why its more important in Supercross in my opinion. Outdoors it just makes no sense to have a sound check.
I was huge in cycling during the doping days and it was stated if you weren’t cheating you weren’t trying. I guess the same applies here, if your not doing every to get and edge are you even trying.
Aren't they running aftermarket ECU's? Do those ECU's have the same bluetooth tech attached to them as the OEM ECU? And if that is the case, that means that anyone would have this available to them, not just Star.
obviously there's no 'gaming' with mufflers if 'Star' is getting caught. Watching timing and scoring, if it wasn't for Deegan, the Yamaha's are not 'dominate'.
It’s absolutely plausible. So many riders have brought up how loud the STAR bikes are. I personally think the series and racing in general would be better if there was more parody between the bikes
How would Star let a bike fail if they had that technology? People just want some excuse why Haiden is winning. Johnny, your infatuation with Vialle shines through with you putting this rumor out.
The Bluetooth tech on the Yamahas should have a lock out button (just like the stark varg does) the day before and during the race so adjusting on the fly can’t happen.
If VW did it to millions of diesel cars, a team that can change maps remotely will do it to cheat for sure. PS: cooksey is butthurt that you outgrew his childish ways.
They can 100 percent do that and have been able to do so for awhile. There are so many trucks in supercross people used to do like stuff rags in the air box and close everything up in the air box. They would put the exhaust in the freezer or ice cooler to make the examiner cold. There are some many things that can be done. Believe me I have seen a lot of things and done a few to pass sound when I was racing supercross 10 plus years ago. So you can only imagine what a factory team will and can do to push the limits.
Absolutely true if you look at Vance & Hines and dynojet fuelpak programmers they are all Bluetooth.. new AMA rule change will be no wireless programming allowed.. all bikes must be hardwired to program ECU.. same rule happened to Harley-Davidson AMA is aware of the situation..
Of course they can adjust that. Its simple lower the rev limiter and run it leaner. Its simple to fix just ad a tachometer lead to the plug wire. There is enough technology where each team nows where max power is at.
No way! They would be screaming from the hills. Anything Deegan does in their eyes is gold. Anything Jett or Hunter does is a crime apparently. This is nothing more than a Deegan fanboy channel. Deegan fans are completely delusional.
@@st25at yep, Ive niced that too. Delusional AND moronic. Im waiting for somebody/anybody to answer the question "could Star Racing be doing things to get around the sound testing?"
Doesn’t ktm have the same tech? Plus what if this the amas fault and the calibration is off on their sound testing tech. Sorta like if you get a dui the first thing you do is question the calibration of the equipment; a lot of the time the authorities neglect to have them calibrated regularly
Loopholes in motorsport love 'em. When we do noise tests in the UK for car racing they ask what the maximum revs are and we have to rev it 3/4 of max revs...believe me no one tells them their true max revs.
Ecu is not gonna make the bike louder.. lighter packing or modified exhaust that will make more power on top end will be alot louder.. being a sand track they are gonna need all the top end power they can get..
Wouldnt it be easier to have a pre loaded map and a sneaky button combination to change map, we know most bikes have a few different maps already like luanch mode, race mode, fule conserve mode is it inconceivable to have a pre loaded map by hitting a certian combination of buttons to turn it on/off ......... most teams probably do it have it, or could it be a simple solenoid in the exhaust that restricts flow like you find on some cars who knows 🤷♂️ but through the TV, the Yamahas are way louder audibly than every other bike out there this could be put down to a number of things but it wouldnt suprise me if they were to loud.
You want to the rev out and push engine before the race? Asking for Bike failures...they do it after the race so it can't be modified prior to the race, the bikes are hot and peak performance, and doesn't matter if bike dies.
@MrIke303which in my opinion is entirely the reason a different tune would get loaded. If I was that team I would put a safe tune in the bike so it didn’t blow up on the stand. If you knew someone was going to free rev the fuck out of a very expensive race engine. UNLOADED. On a stand….. Like you said. They cost $$$$. It’s very bad to sit there and free rev an engine in neutral. Sound checks hurt my soul as do the rev offs when people win lol. I feel bad for the engine guy. 😂😂😂😂
Think deegs and vialle do the same as sexton and jett. I think thats what pisses deegs off with vialle. I dont see duffy letting them lose for a sound dq. Im sure he packs the shit out of that pipe knowing how much haiden revs.
Just like with everything with technology there is good and bad. Every Yamaha bike and exhaust isn't exactly the same so no it isn't surprising that one bike can fail and another pass. Varg has a pretty good approach of locking down adjustments for a certain amount of time as one possible approach. Bluetooth has an extremely short range so they would have to be doing it with close proximity to the bike. Almost all new bikes have multiple maps on the bike itself controlled by the rider. The rules don't currently state that all maps must be checked or that only one map can be run I don't think. It would be interesting to understand how they test or limit that.
if Star was able to do that you would figure none of their guys would've failed the sound test
With a GET ecu and WiFi comm device it takes like 15 seconds to connect a cell phone and like another 3 seconds to upload a new map. I’m sure a lot of the teams are using this trick not just star
Good point
Having a failed test now & then would make it appear that they are not doing it. They probably are doing it.
@@weswilliams4661yeah for sure, if the rumor is that star can do it anyone can
You gotta have a fall guy dude! You think they’re gonna let “Danger Boy” fail the sound test?!😂 cmon man
When I was a mechanic, loud bikes were down on power. That is why shops sold silencer repacking kits every day.

sound is just potential chemical energy that is being transfered someplace thats not the rear wheel.

Think deegs and vialle do the same as sexton and jett. I think thats what pisses deegs off with vialle. I dont see duffy letting them lose for a sound dq. Im sure he packs the shit out of that pipe knowing how much haiden revs.
There is 100% a way to prove it. The info is all stored.
Just like with everything with technology there is good and bad. Every Yamaha bike and exhaust isn't exactly the same so no it isn't surprising that one bike can fail and another pass. Varg has a pretty good approach of locking down adjustments for a certain amount of time as one possible approach. Bluetooth has an extremely short range so they would have to be doing it with close proximity to the bike. Almost all new bikes have multiple maps on the bike itself controlled by the rider. The rules don't currently state that all maps must be checked or that only one map can be run I don't think. It would be interesting to understand how they test or limit that.
The rules are totally safe and effective. Even if you break them.
