What is usually mounted in the lower hole in the picture below (look above lower frame rail in front of clutch cover)?

What's new about the new rear brake pedal ?
Does it now have a bearing in it like a KTM so it doesn't get "flogged out" ?

Without spending anytime researching it I would assume its for the Yamaha OEM dry sump oil return / supply lines (there is another bung identical to it on the other side of the engine) as the GasGas frame does not have a dry sump like the Yamaha WR frame would have had.

Picking up a Yamaha WR 250 from a friend later today to do some comparisons.

The YZ has a remote oil tank. Those ports are for the oil lines.

The way I see it, a person can add an oil cooler and use these ports for feed lines.

Man.......both of the bikes look very nice! Wolf in sheeps clothing fur-sure!

It will be interstering to hear a comparison between the Yama version and the Spanish version of the WR powerplant in different frames, suspension, ect!

Directions to Bedford, Indiana:

Bedford is approximately 75 miles SSW (195 degrees) of Indianapolis. It is at the junction of 37 and 50 highways. Driving other than from Indy, you can check your map or set your GPS for Bedford to see the route you will take. If you fly into the Indy airport and rent a car, take I-74 south and at exit 4, take highway 37 south. Drive to Bedford, which, at 60 mph, will take around one hour and forty minutes.
