Unseen: Justin Barcia's Rev Limiter in 2009 - vurbmoto

Our longtime friend, Justin Barcia, is back on a red bike... but not like the kind in this video. It's the Red Bull Troy Lee Designs Gas Gas red bike this time around. However, they're both red and we hadn't seen these archive clips in a very long time so we decided to bust some out. And yes, we know, some of these clips have been seen, but "Mostly Unseen" is a very clunky title so go eat a banana.

Feeling like the real throwback is that No Fear gear

[@romanizaboss6641]

When “Bam-Bam” was himself....now he’s just Barcia..... But 69 approved!

[@Devon_Meadows]

As long as everyone remembers who started this whole 250 rev to the moon in the air movement

[@joeantolak4629]

Pro bikes have programable ecu so say your bike stops making power at 11 000 it cuts ignition ( rev limiter) my problem is when some body starts a cold bike and hold it to the limiter or in neutral , but these are race bikes they are built for this it’s getting rebuilt anyways might as well wear those valves

[@danielrobertnathan7749]

I like it

[@MxRider721]

"250 rev to the moon in the air movement" Fact is 250fs make power up high. If you want to land and have the rear tire connect and the bike remain in the meat of the power, you gotta be quite high in rpm. Hes doing it the easy way by holding WOT. Great technique for going fast as long as you have the money to afford replacing internals much more often.

[@Devon_Meadows]

@@MxRider721 i know but it wasn’t a thing until he started doing it on all these videos back in 08-09

[@MxRider721]

@@Devon_Meadows Absolutely right. People saw this technique and learned and a lot of young men got faster and blew up more bikes haha.

Its fuel injected

Hopefully, Barcia rides the GasGas the same way he rode his Hondas. WFO. I miss hearing that rev limiter.

Bing back the limiter 👍🏻🤙🏼👍🏻🤙🏼

A 450 will bite you very quickly trying to ride it like that

so keen to see barcia on a gas gas feel like bikes been holding him back a bit

[@furtwangler8137]

I always wondered if Barcia's whole 450 career wouldn't have been different (for the better) if he hadn't been on the man eating YZF. I realize this is old footage, but glad to see him finally on something else (GasGas just announced their team)...

[@dr187mx]

He didn’t do any better on a factory Honda or jgr suzuki.

[@qdn7720]

on fc honda he was pretty competitive

The neck donut!

[@J_571]

I Remember watching some these old vids for the first time, like this thing is toast any minute now but I guess over time from hearing the upcoming amateurs and rookies rev them out I’ve become immune because it’s doesn’t sound as bad as I remember 😂

[@jboot151]

I can see talking to Barcia on the pulp podcast got you feeling the old vibes. Vurb and Pulp for life! Can't wait for platinum 2.0 remix. #rideredgetheadnomatterthebrand

That bog when landing sounds roughhhh. Pre-EFI. What a beast though.

[@Sandberg29]

Those 06-09s loved to be on the limiter!

He's probably the only rider that rides a 4 stroke like a 2 stroke

[@imjustspeakingfactsbro4189]

Lol it amazes how we’ve had 4t for a while now and yet still no one knows this is actually how they are meant to be ridden, only 450’s have that insane low rpm power

LOVE HIS PART IN “enjoy”

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

When Bam Bam actually Bammed and he could not rev it because carb bog.

[@frankiemarchese2978]

These videos were sick back in the 2000’s. Raw sound of those fcr carbs. No slowmo or anything fancy. The bikes sounded so much better too imo.

2009 crf 250's had a white back mud guard could this be 08 ?

Would sound better if it was that CR 125 I saw him on, probably the same year?

What video mate...

[@mindtrick477]

Hopefully someday we will see justin back on 250 just for video. He could make those bikes scream!

Those were the days 😲

Something ab the sound of 07-09 CRF’s…. Maybe because it was my first 250

Most riders: 450s are just so fast, you can put it in 4th and ride the whole track. Barcia: I'll do it in first

Nice looks like he is on a 2008 CRF450 can anybody tell if it's an 08 or an 09?

a classic and when bam bam really bammed

These older 450s look gnarly in comparison to the new ones

Even on a roached bike he squeezes so hard he makes lemonade.

[@TrailnTriggerTV]

Good thing he rode Honda’s back then cause I don’t think any other 250f at the time could have took the abuse lol

[@enriqueaguayo4811]

Uuuhhh the yz250f could have always taken the abuse. Those Honda 250s are the ones that love eating valves.

more power than the 2020 geico bikes prolly hahah

Need some titanium valves ASAP after that thrash

[@tylersvensson4468]

I think people forget that 4 strokes were carbureted for a long time so you had to ride like this otherwise it would bog. Peoples riding styles have been wide open since even though they don’t need to

Not quite if your bike doesn’t make power past a certain rpm you program you Ecu to cut ignition at that rpm

I mean, he did show how durable the unicam 250 really was. I still don’t like that they switched to the dohc.

[@chasec9197]

This is nothing I've heard him intentionally hitting the rev limiter on every jump during races and I'm surprised his team never suspended him for trying to blow the engine...

Who noticed the pool noodle on his helmet as a pad???

[@ArmyOf2Films]

why would yous have never posted this?

Amazing question. Different times back then 😂 From what I recall, we used some of this footage in our 2009 movie EPIC so, for the most part, this footage sat on the cutting room floor.

That was probably the least amount of rev limiter from barcia ever. Cool to watch though.

You can tell 4 strokes didn´t evolved that much since then though...can´t see todays racers going any faster than he was in this video. (Only price is gone up)...

[@croomrider9785]

Have you ever watched Jeffrey herlings? Dude flys on a 4stroke

[@joeantolak4629]

Yeah right do a valve adjustment on an 08 then a 16 and up , trust me Honda engineers are moving forward , you can do a valve adjustment in 30 min
