While solar flares definitely have velocity and mass (momentum), their mass is too diffuse to cause a significant change in the trajectory of a dense massive object. Any effect on an asteroid would be very slight. That is not to say it is impossible, but I doubt that just a solar flare could significantly alter the course of an object like YU55. Its diameter is supposedly 200 m; that is a lot of rock.

So it just released an X1.9 flare.
Will it affect this...

If a solar flare can affect earths magnetic field, I m deff sure it affects every object in its path. A solar flare can wipe a comet out so y not affect a asteroid, I am deff sure it does. Well I am hoping it does hit the moon, imagine the view it would create and with my 25x100 binoculars willl be the coolest thing I ever I saw in my life.. but if it does hit the moon get ready for a metor shower like you never seen before )

so sunspot 1339 did produce an x class flare, but its not headed towards Earth, we still have few days before sunspot turns direct towards us.

FROM SPACEWEATHER.COM

CHANCE OF FLARES: NOAA forecasters have upgraded the chance of X-class solar flares today to 20%. The source would be AR1339, one of the biggest sunspots in many years. The active region rotated over the sun's eastern limb two days ago and now it is turning toward Earth. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

The sunspot has already unleashed one X-flare on Nov. 3rd around 2027 UT. A movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the extreme ultraviolet flash:

The flare created waves of ionization in Earth's upper atmosphere, altering the normal propagation of radio waves over Europe and the Americas. In Ireland, the flare's effect was felt even after dark.

A cloud of plasma or "CME" raced away from the blast site at 1100 km/s. The CME is not heading for Earth. It is, however, heading for Mercury and Venus. Click on the arrow to view a movie of the CME's forecast track:

Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab say the CME will hit Mercury on Nov. 4th around 16:14 UT. NASA's MESSENGER probe in orbit around Mercury will be monitoring the effects of the impact. If the CME overwhelms Mercury's relatively weak magnetic field, it could scour material off the planet's surface creating a temporary atmosphere and adding material to Mercury's comet-like tail. The CME should hit Venus on Nov. 5th; the gossamer cloud will probably break harmlessly against the top of planet's ultra-dense atmosphere.

Just wild speculation here, but my first reaction was more along the lines of: what will the proximity of YU55 do to the Earth's magnetic field, and how might that affect us in the event of an Earth-directed CME during the same time period? If the Electric Universe theories hold any weight, I would have to belive it would make a difference. But like I said, just speculation.....

I know it will not hit Earth or the Moon because the Universe actually cares for us. I trust it more than everything.

And to the above poster, never say never, it's ignorant. More like highly unlikely, but not never...

The "Universe" cares for us, so no asteroids can hit the planet...okay...do you mean never (News Flash: has happened multiple times in the past and will happen multiple times in the future)?

Here are some more examples of similar ignorance on my part:

1) Nolan Ryan will never, ever, be able to throw a grain of sand with enough force so as to obliterate the Empire State Building
2) A standard ice cube placed in a fully functioning 350 degree oven will never, ever, still be in a frozen state if you come back an hour later.
3) A human being could never, ever, survive (his mortal body anyway) standing two feet away from a nuclear explosion the size of the one used at Hiroshima.
4) Kobie Bryant, using only his own physical capabilities, could never, ever, make a Free Throw from 680 miles away from the basket.

All of the above things can never, ever, happen - no matter how much the Universe cares about us.

Oh...and a regular old CME could never, ever, cause an Asteroid of this mass...which otherwise would only get within 325,000 Km of the planet...to suddenly veer into the Earth's path.
