That is definitely a common complaint. XT's seat is not the most comfortable in the world. There are a few alternatives, like the seat from seat concepts, but they run about a couple hundred dollars.

Yes, I did. I really like the retro styling of the TW, especially those fat tires. :) But since the price difference is only around $500 between these two, I opted for the XT because I consider it to be a much more capable and better bike overall. Regards,

Yeah, same here. I am looking for a DRZ400 on the used market. But I would keep the XT250 as well. I still think it's a pretty fun little machine with a bulletproof engine. Eventually, I will give the XT to my son or daughter. Best regards,

@@robertoalvarez5281 Drz400s for the win!

@@saner6888 wow! Congrats, that’s pretty much new. The thumbscrews are to replace the factory bolts to get access to the tool bag without a screw driver and removing the seat without tools. I know flatlands racing makes an aluminum rack that allows you to keep the rear handles. Regards.

@@robertoalvarez5281 thank you!! Fantastic!!

Me alegro que te haya servido el video. Saludos coordiales.

Hello, Unfortunately, these motorcycles do not have a gas gauge, but they do have a warning light when you are low on fuel. With the reserve, you can travel about 30 miles without a problem, so unless you are in the middle of nowhere, you should have enough fuel to get to the next gas station. They also do not have a gear indicator. Personally, I think that could be an inconvenience for many since, at high RPMs, you may constantly try to shift into fifth gear when you are already in it. But despite that, these bikes are quite capable and super fun to ride. You won't regret buying one. Regards, 👍

Thanks & I really don't need a gear indicator but I'd just looked at another bike that had both on the display so I mentioned it. I've always liked Yamaha products even though others are quite capable. I also like air cooled engines - less bullcH!T to go wrong. Thanks a lot for taking the time,,, peace

@@user-dv7hb2sc9m I have been a Yamaha fan almost my whole life. I have a Yamaha Vstar 1100 for long trips and weekends and my XT250 to ride around town and commute to work. I have had other brands, but IMO, nothing is as reliable as Yamaha. They are super simple, reliable, and almost maintenance-free. Regards,

People are sold on their FAV Brands & so am I..... I happen to digg Yamaha Stuff ! The big 4 manufacturer's all put out good products but I do like the name & the color of blue Yami uses. How is the V~Star? I have not ridden in a long time but I am looking hard at a bunch of dual sport bikes. When I saw your video I knew you were just an average family man & not one of these youtuber's looking to make content. That weighs on why I stopped to chat you up but if I manage to get my money straight this little bike is on my radar. Nice color scheme too. Simple and none of the water cooled crap to be dealing with. Having a water cooled system on a bike is asking for trouble & most use them nowadays but I'm an old guy..... My first bike was a Kawasaki Kz1000(1980-82)... air cooled. Is V~Star water cooled or air? I'm not looking for that size of bike... I kinda want something that goes down the road but that I can see a trail & just go see where it comes out? The XT250 is my Fav small bike but I'm even looking at a used XT225. I like them better than the 250 b/c they have 6gear transmission & a good big bore kit. Thanks for giving me a shout out... peace Hey, does the XT use any ECU's at all? Just curious if you know?

@@user-dv7hb2sc9m Thank you sir, I really appreciate the feedback. You're absolutely correct, I make these videos not to become rich or famous. I want to share my passion for motorcycles with other bikers and DIYers like me. I love my VStar. It has been a great cruiser bike for me. It is air-cooled. If you think that bike may be too much for you, they have the VStar 600, which is pretty much the same bike but with a smaller engine. I had an XT225 a long time ago. Both are fantastic bikes, but to be honest, the XT250 is overall a better and more capable bike. I know the 6th gear on the 225 is a big plus, but I take the EFI and reliability of the 250 any day. Plus I loved the color combination of the black and gray on the newer XT models. Regards.

Lo puedes realizar de ambas formas, solo que para que el video fuera corto lo hize de esta manera. Pero como tu dices tambien se puede. Gracias por el aporte. Saludos.

No oil filter. You just have to dump the old oil and put the new in like I showed on the video. Regards.

Thank you for the feedback, greatly appreciated. I grew up in the 80's and that's why I prefer motorcycles that have some resemblance to those of that time. Motorcycles that have something from both eras, modern but simple at the same time. And in my opinion the XT250 perfectly covers all expectations. It is a fantastic and fun little machine.

Hola, asi es. si solo ajustas la cadena de un solo lado terminaras danando el eje trasero o los baleros traseros, y tu cadena constantemente se estara safando. Espero que esto aclare tus dudas. Saludos.

@@robertoalvarez5281 ok por que yotengo una cuatro moto 125 pero ya la saqué la cadena pero sienpre seme safa por que aique mas el seguro de ba ala di de la cadena i el otro no

@@user-cs2kx5yd2y ajustala por ambos lados. Si se te sigue safando puede ser que tu rueda dentada ya sea trasera o delantera tengan un desgaste considerable o que tu cadena ya este bastante floja. Espero que esto te ayude. Saludos.

@@robertoalvarez5281 sile puse la cadena nuebe ayer i i el piñon de lantero pero Lo are oi aber que pasa

Thank you for the feedback, I greatly appreciate you. You won't regret it. Overall, it is a great helmet. Regards,

Te recomiendo quitar el carburador, abrelo y asegurate que las espreas o jets no esten tapados.

Si ya verificaste que las espreas esten bien, entonces significa que tu carburador esta aventando gasolina de mas al cilindro y causa que la bujia se moje y no aviente chispa. Te recomiendo que le des media vuelta mas al tornillo de mescla (Tornillo de abajo). Con eso tendras una mescla correcta gasolina aire. Saludos.

@@robertoalvarez5281 que ay sobre las mangueras posiciones del carburador va conectado una acia el motor?

@@Cvtexas. Tienes la manguera de entrada que viene del tanque de gasolina, y otra en la parte de abajo del carburador que es la de desahogo. En algunos casos dependiendo del modelo de tu moto. Hay una manguera que viene de la parte posterior del motor y se conecta al filtro de aire, esa manguera es la de respiracion del motor. Saludos.

@@robertoalvarez5281 gracia checare eso siento que alguna manguera e puesto mal

Hola, dificl darte un diagnostico exacto sin antes verla pero suena como que tu carburador esta mal carburado o alguna de tus espreas esta tapada. Te recomiendo quitar el carburador, lavarlo y ajustarlo nuevamente. Aqui te dejo un video donde muestro como calibrar el carburador, espero te sirva. Saludos. studio.ua-cam.com/users/videovDCahI9vuZE/edit

@@robertoalvarez5281 el carburador es nuevo apenas se lo puse

Es posible que no este bien carburado aunque este nuevo.

Thanks for your feedback. 🙂 You got a great deal with that bike. I bought mine new, and the OTD price was almost $6700 DLS. I don't regret it at all. I'm still convinced that you get the best bang for your buck with these bikes. I just ordered the 16th sprocket from Sunstar a few days ago, I can't wait for it to arrive to install it and see the difference. I am still looking for the shift lever, I found a couple of options on eBay and Amazon, but they don't have much info on the length; I want to make sure it is longer than the stock shift lever. The seat height for me is perfect, I can put both feet on the ground without a problem, but I would like to change the rear shock absorber for something a little less soft. Best regards.

Hola amigo, revisale los frenos, es posible que alguna de tus balatas este apretada. No deberia de frenarse a la hora de soltar el acelerador. Deberia poco a poco ir disminuyendo la velocidad, pero no frenarse del todo. Saludos.

Hola, que tipo de moto tienes? Que es lo que hace cuando la intentas hechar a andar? Si prende pero se apaga entonces lo mas probable es que alguna esprea en tu carburador este tapada. Si haciendo el ajuste con la valvula mescladora como yo muestro en el video no funciona, entonces te recomiendo quitar el carburador y limpiarlo por completo. Saludos.

@@robertoalvarez5281 es una cuatrimoto automática de 150

That is correct. The suspension is really soft, so once you get on the bike, the seat height definitely drops a couple more inches. Regards,

@robertoalvarez5281 awesome thank you! Your feedback def has encouraged me to get one. Picking up a used one this Saturday!

​@@user-np5di5vq9h Nice!! It was my pleasure. You won't regret it, it is a pretty fun and capable little machine. Congrats.👏👏

Thank you for the tip. Those are great foot pegs indeed, but a little pricey IMO. 🤑

Yes sir, I had a TTR 225 a while ago, great bike. But I'm leaning more towards a dual sport bike as I can use it on and off-road. The XT250 is a much more capable and fun motorcycle than the TTR, in my opinion. Couldn't be happier with this bike. Regards,

But if it’s fun who cares? I am 6'6 and ride my dr200, looks like a little pit bike with me on top. I have just gotten used to things not fitting anymore lol

Yeah, I am 6ft tall and I may look like a bear riding a small bike... 😂 but I'm definitely having a great time on the XT. It's my commuter bike, about 40 miles round trip, and for off-roading with my kids. For long trips or weekend rides, I have my VStar 1100. The XT has been a great bike for me so far. Most likely, I will keep this bike for many years since my son, who is now 12 years old, is already starting to use it, and I see him very excited every time he rides the XT. At some point, this will be his bike, and I will possibly get a DRZ400. Regards,

​@@robertoalvarez5281I miss mine wish I still had it. I want a 2024 transalp

​@@robertoalvarez5281did you get pegs and a shifter yet? I'm looking too

@@chawnslopoke2619@chawnslopoke2619 Hello, I ordered the pegs from DMO Specialties, but I am still looking for the shifter. 😕

Hello, thank you very much for your recommendations. I could not agree more with you; these bikes are fantastic! I will definitely look into the Revolver shift lever. I ordered some DMO foot pegs, a USB charger, and a phone holder for the GPS just yesterday. I also ordered a Tool Tube and fuel bottle to carry extra gas. :0 I will also consider the mirrors; at the moment, I am OK with the ones the bike came with, but I saw in various motorcycle groups and blogs that many use double-take mirrors on these bikes. They seem to be a good option. Thank you once again,

Fff

I have 147.5 in the front cylinder and 145 in the rear one with 22.5 pilot jets and air pod filters. Probably the best mod I have done on my bike. It was recommended by MaxAir Engineering. Regards,

I am glad it helped you. Thank you for the feedback. 👍

Hola, en la descripcion del video deje un link donde puedes conseguir ese lubricante en Amazon. amzn.to/3dkN7QJ aunque tambien puedes utilizar otros lubricantes como WD40 para cadena amzn.to/49Fq1eF Espero te sirva. Saludos.

Me alegro que te haya servido el video. Saludos.

Dependiendo donde la uses. Aqui en california cualquier vehiculo debe estar registrado si quieres usarlo de manera legal en areas estatales de recreación vehicular. Pero si la piensas utilizar en propiedad privada, entonces no necesitas registrarla. Espero que eso responda tu pregunta. Saludos. ✌

Un gusto. Saludos

Hola amigo, si ya revisaste que tu bujia este dando la chispa adecuada, entonces seguramente tu caburador esta aventando demaciada gasolina al cilindro o tu flotador en el carburador no esta bien nivelado. Lo primero seria que revisaras que tu esprea de gas no tenga mas de 1 y media vueltas, si eso esta bien entonces revisa el flotador. Saludos.

Hola amigo, no soy un experto en roadstars pero ese carburador es muy similar al de mi VStar 1100. Si no le has hecho ninguna modificacion a tu moto como cambiarle el escape, remover la caja de filtro de aire, y tiene los jets originales, entonces solo dale entre 3 - 3 1/2 vueltas a tu llave PMS o tornillo de mezcla. Pero para sincronizar bien los carburadores necesitaras una herramienta de sincronizacion. Saludos.

Si tu moto enciende cuando usas arrancador quiere decir que tu carburador esta fallando o simplemente este sucio. Te recomiendo lo quites y le des una buena limpiada. Es posible que alguna de las espreas o jets como se les conoce este tapada y por eso no avienta la gasolina suficiente al motor. En un par de mis videos muestro como quitar el carburador y calibrarlo correctamente. Espero que te sirvan. Saludos.

Nose si sea una falla pro trae un seguro ahí para encender tengo Qk abrir y ya qk enciende tengo Qk serrar

@@anjelhernandez4021 No estoy seguro si te refieres a el ahogador! Pero si es asi es normal que lo tengas que poner cuando la motocicleta este fria. Saludos.

La transmisión y el motor comparten el mismo aceite, solo tienes que usar aceite de motor 10W-30 o 10W-40 como muestro en el video. Saludos.

My apologies, i will certainly do. Thank you for the feedback. 👍

I removed the air box and went with K&N air pod filters instead.

Muchas gracias. Me alegro mucho que te haya gustado y servido el video. 😊 Saludos!

Thank you very much for your feedback. I am glad you liked the video and that it helped you. I'm not a professional mechanic either; I've been learning with my motorcycles over the years. I have always tried to fix things myself. I prefer to learn in the process than pay an arm and a leg for someone else to do it for me. Regards. 🙂👋

@@robertoalvarez5281 I do have a question tho on my vstar the previous owner has a fuel filter right next to the fuel valve and then it has another filter under seat. Is there a reason why it would have 2 filters

​@@user-by7gl3wj6c I'm unsure what his logic was for adding a second fuel filter. 🤔 These bikes only have the fuel filter under the seat. Regards,

Hola amigo, ese era el problema que yo tenia con mi motocicleta, en mi caso, la marcha giraba pero se escuchaba como si algo patinara solamente y no encendia el motor, ahi fue cuando me di cuenta que el problema era el clutch de arranque o bendix como tambien se le conoce. La manera de diagnosticar ese problema es quitando el tapon donde pones el aceite al motor, intenta darle marcha y si ves por el orificio del tapon de aceite que el engrane se mueve, pero la moto no arranca entonces es el bendix. Si el engrane no se mueve para nada entones es tu marcha la que no esta sirviendo. Espero que eso te ayude. Saludos.

@@robertoalvarez5281 ya revise y si gira la marcha y todo solo que no enciende, creo si es el Bendix, cambiaré éso, gracias por contestar

@@flaviomartinez8771 no hay de que, espero que puedas arreglarlo. Saludos.

Me a servido de mucho, solo que ahora ya lo cambié y arme todo igual y al dar marcha prendío a la primera, solo que ahora no quiere acelerar muy bien, será que después de cambiar éso necesita carburada nuevamente, porque antes funcionaba muy bien y estaba perfectamente carburada

Te aseguraste que tu tiempo estuviera en la misma posición cuando pusiste de vuelta el magneto/bendix? En ocasiones se mueve un poco la cadena del tiempo al poner el magneto de vuelta. Lo mas seguro sea que si tengas que volver a sincronizar los carburadores. Saludos.

Si no tiene tensionador, es probable que la cadena este floja o que la rueda dentada o sprocket trasero ya tambien este desgastado. Saludos.

Un gusto, me alegro te haya gustado el video. Saludos.

pd no le cuesta arrancar ni nada , lo unico que me cuesta meter los cambios o por ahi saltan pero eso es otra cosa

Hola amigo, por lo general yo le hago el servicio a mis motos cada 24 o 36 horas de uso. En cuanto al cambio de piezas no estoy muy seguro ya que nunca he tenido una LTR, cada motor y marca tienen sus pros y contras a la horas de comenzar a desarmar los motores. Saludos

These bikes don't have an oil overflow as far as I know, they only have the breathing hose coming out on the back of the engine. But If I'm not mistaken, you are referring to the bolt that is at the bottom of the engine on the opposite side of the oil cap. If so, then if you need to tighten it, that is the plug where the plunger/push rod is. In this video you can see which bolt I am referring to. ua-cam.com/video/Jsp_HhhB2v8/v-deo.html Regards,

These ATVs don't have an oil filter. You dump the old oil and put in new one like I showed in the video. Regards,

@@robertoalvarez5281 okay perfect just asking cause some people say there is a small one but u have to take a part one side of motor to replace and I wanna make sure I am rebuild a 2012 tao tao I got for free. and last thing I'm do it oil change

@@JAMTOAM Yes, those engines (110cc and 125cc) have an internal filter, but it doesn't have to be replaced unless you have to tear the engine apart to do some major repairs. In the 5 years I have owned my ATVs I have not had to replace that filter. :😃

Esta mal carburada. Es posible que se te acelere por que la valvula corredera o la aguja se queden pegadas, te recomiendo que quites el carburador y lo limpies a profundidad.
