Valves are for Toilets!

Straight-forward and to the point. Thanks!!

I have a 2022 yz250fx with only a few hours on it. if I pull in the clutch and click it into first, it stalls every time. I have to rev it before putting it in gear. That's how easily that bike stalls. And no, I am not a new rider.

what part of texas? looks like east texas from the woods in the background. I grew up out in east texas.

more torque should be the expected result

That a clean well cared for bike brother 👍🏾

For stalling... I took a ktm xc 450 4 speed into the mountains for knarly trails... stalling was a problem. 1st gear didn't have good gearing for slow technical. Was told fly wheel weight would help prevent that flame out. Didn't have problems on fast sections. LoL that's a different kind of stalling.

4 stroke either on or off throttle, 4 stroke engine rebuild cost thousands, 2 stroke smooth power, usually only need a new piston and away again

Will a flywheel weight take a lot of vibration out? Like will u feel less in the handlebars

Nice video.. them the correc weight for yz125 it will be the 9 oz?

Nice and simple 👌

Good explanation

very helpful thank you. Question what makes aftermarket/high performance reeds better than stock

Just put one in my fe501s. At first I hated it because it would freewheel down hills and I lost my engine braking. Changed the springs to the lowest engagement rpm and I love it. Now it engine brakes pretty close to how it did with a manual clutch. I would consider myself an intermediate rider, I like tight single track trails and the rekluse makes me a significantly better rider. My buddies say I'm cheating and it's not a "real" bike now. I don't care, it's awesome. I don't think I'll own another bike without one. It makes trail riding significantly more fun imo

I have a 2006 YZ144 that I resisted taking into the trails because its so jumpy and hyper. One day i had to because my 350 was down and I quickly learned if I kept it a gear high it turned into this even handed smooth bike. I also LOVED the lack of engine braking trying to send me over the bars all the time... however... there was not enough torque for me to just goose it but for the trails Im on thats never really something I need. And... damn bike is so light it felt like a mountain bike.. what a pleasure a light bike is.

Thanks for the honest review man!

That should fit on my 1999 also.

Can you help to suggest where to find right flywheel weight for yz250f 2018?

Holy crap, I may need a 2 stroke. Thank you for the insight and great personality!

In my country they explain about overheating,that’s why they prefer 2 stroke over 4 stroke.is that true?

Thinking about trying one on my 250sx. However I’d hate to lose the insane explosiveness of the bike. Bike is fresh from the frame up, little motor work done to make it scream. It’s a woods racer, so I could definitely benefit from some lugging power. However I don’t want to lose much to get it lol. It’s all a trade off

I agree 150%! I shelved my hymec and got the ez pull box. Absolutely nothing to complain about with that thing. Now i have cable feel with hydraulic lever pull👍

Very informative, but easy to follow. Thanks

I love mine.

2 stroke is not wort the changing pistons every 500 hours of riding.

Awesome video man! Thanks for the info

They smell better. Klutz or Castro bean oil yea . A dumb friend of mine when we were kids used pine sent lamp oil yes it smelled like a pine tree. For a short while and yes it blew up oil injected DT Yamaha 1973

Add fuel injection to that and "maybe some kind of biodegradable" oil (for emissions control) and say bye bye to 4 strokes. Now you have the electric bikes to worrie about. Now I sincerely wonder how something like the Stark Varg compares to my old trusty cr500..

Try my 4s beta. You can ride with just left hand, tracts on idle... Modern efi bikes can be well tuned not to stall, flame, etc... But sure, high gravity center is the main reason of less fun. And pain in the a*s to lift it up 😢 ( and too often not mentioned)

My first dirt bike was an 88cr250 that the dudes buddy ported in his garage. Worst first dirt bike ever! It was just a handful. I was forever off the trail and into the woods. My buddy told me to put a flywheel weight on it. I got the heaviest one available for that bike. The rideability was night and day. So much easier to ride and start. Best purchase ever.

I wonder how this comparison will go with electric in the mix now.

100% I've tried to explain this before to people and they just don't understand. It's like you have 2 different engines in the same bike and you can choose which one you want based on gear selection.

Whenyou talk about use recluse on 4 stroke do you menas the clutch less rekluse?

Is this the same guy that did hot/crazy matrix?

Damn good chance I go with a two my next go around crazy what a beta costs though…

I've got a 2022 WR450F at the moment and I love it but I'm definitely gonna try a 300 2 stroke next for the reasons you mentioned. Hard engine braking, stalls easy and snappy throttle down low even with retarded timing all of which make it a lot of work in technical trails.

I like 2 strokes because I value my time, my wife likes 4 strokes

I was doing enduro on a crf450r and swapped to a new sherco 300se factory it's made life so much more easy and fun exactly how you explained.

Ditch the Recluse, become a better rider, 4 or 2 stroke.

Everyone needs to see this before they buy. I love both just like you but I ride enduro and yeah that traction on the low end is key.

Put a rekluse clutch on your 4 stroke, no more engine braking, the free wheel, and you won't stall it, i run the rekluse auto clutch on all my bikes 2 and 4 stroke

Drop the idea of fossil fuels. It so last century. I have a Varg on order.

Great explanation. I used to bore & stroke 125’s to 167cc at ROM’s. I rode them like a 250 in the woods, utilizing the smooth off-pipe torque, knowing that a tap on the clutch turned it into a giant 125!

Very true 👍. I still prefer my 4 stroke tho. I like engine breaking for aggressive riding so I’m not all over the brakes. And for me the steady pull helps me keep the traction down. But yes I’m all over that clutch.

I ride a 500exc, it has so much torque, there's no real dead zone. Anyway i think it's all in the clutch management.

I'm sorry but this is just plain wrong. Linear and tractable power is much better in technical slow terrain than unresponsive which turns into snappy real fast. I mean your own graphs perfectly illustrate the whole story. The advantage of 2 stroke is the lower weight and running cooler when standing still / going slow

2 strokes feel lighter to toss around bushes too. My 450 is pretty tiresome, exactly as explained, engine braking, or powering on. Line in between is very thin. Kicking it is no fun either. Rode two stroke maybe twice in my life, and I felt like the high pitch noise it makes was somewhat intimidating bcs made me feel like bike is always ready to punish on mistake. Maybe I was just in too low of a gear.

center of gravity is also a big thing

Great video, may be worth giving the disclaimer of "bike setup changes a lot, a better setup machine is always going to be better, regardless of 2 stroke vs 4 stroke"

Valves are for toilets! 2 strokes forever
