Its so damn fun. I ride my buddys yz 450 sometimes too and I am definitely faster on it though. There's a visceral feeling that I don't get on a 4 stroke though.

@@straightnobraker4677 yeh for me it's all about fun. Be slower on the 2T but with a much bigger smile

just doin my part to keep it from becoming a complete shit hole here! haha

It’s literally 200 dollars more, there is no tricks. They literally tell you there is no difference than cosmetics.

I think everyone knows that, including myself. Try and find any yz 250 in southern Ca though. I decided I'd rather pay the 300 then have no bike.

@@straightnobraker4677 when they first came out it was like 800 difference at my local dealer and I just laughed. Glad to see they brought it down to almost reasonable

@@jonruger I put a deposit down 3 months in advance on the blue one at 2 dealerships. One place said they actually weren't going to get any yz 250s until maybe June 2022 and then the other place said they were actually only getting this one...its crazy out there trying to buy a good bike.

@@straightnobraker4677 I know it’s crazy I got the itch for a new one this year and in my area unless I want to switch to KTM it’s almost impossible to find a new bike. I’ve always owned Honda and Yamaha not sure I’m ready to switch over.

The best track days

Ya it really is a great track to work on fundamentals, There is nothing off camber at all.

Ya buddy! I'm so stoked on it. Any setup advice? I have the Pro Circuit pipe and 304 shorty and am waiting for my vForce reeds. Had to get springs because I'm 6'4" 195lbs, but I am waiting on them too. Most fun bike I've owned so far though. Absolutely in love with it.

@@straightnobraker4677 Same here I am enjoying mine. So far I am looking to do a shorty pipe(not sure if Ill run PC or FMF) GYTR Flywheel to calm down the motor a bit and (make the bike more manageable during long motos/ rough conditions), & Pro Taper Pillow Grips. Thats all the modifications I have planned for now because the stock platform is solid for me so far :)

@@knolysjohnson7244 I got those Pro Taper Pillow Grips...game changers for the vibration. The vforce reeds were a way bigger difference than the pipe and silencer. Its basically perfect now, needs nothing.

That sounds like so much work haha

You and me both!

The last one I rode was a 2004 and it was a few years ago. I’ve been riding a yz450 the last few years but mostly doing trail stuff on my ktm 300 xcw so I wouldn’t have a good answer for you. All I know is it seems thinner than I remember and the suspension is fantastic. Turning just feels like point and shoot, perfect. Other than that it seems similar, they haven’t done much, but I’m not a great source. They changed the 125 this year but not really the 250. I think those changes will be on the 250 next year

@@straightnobraker4677 They changed the 125 to be competitive in class I think. No 250cc 2-stroke competition, so I'm not sure they update it ever. I have a 2016 because I wanted a 2-stroke coming back to riding after 33 years. Love the bike but I think a much harder bike to ride than a 450. I'm still being stubborn. Changed the sprockets so I could ring second gear out a little more on a MX track. Also springs for my 210 pound body. Never hit a braking bump I was afraid of. Enjoy the bike!

@@alienxyt You might be right about the 250 not getting the same updates, I just assumed. The new 250 actually feels a lot different though with the slimmer profile and flatter seat. I guess they changed the intake a bit for a more linear feel and Keefer confirmed that with his test. Basically the same bike though. Did you go down to a 48 or 49? I was actually thinking 51 or 52 so I could just smash everything in 3rd. I love the bike so much, it is waaaaay harder to ride than a 450 but I was getting bored on a 450 to be honest. I'm not that fast though and to make the 450 fun you have to really haul ass. I have some springs ordered too. Such a fun and playful bike

@@straightnobraker4677 I was wrong. I took another look around the web and Yamaha actually did much more than I gave them credit for. And they finally got the rim color to match the plastic!! Beautiful wheels. I'm more envious of your bike now than before. I went down 2 teeth in the back to 48 and left the front at 14. I only ride it on a MX track and wanted a little lower revs for jumps out of a turn. Up a tooth or two is interesting to me. I would have never thought of that. I line up at the gate in 2nd and mostly only need 3rd. There's one or two straights where you can use 4th to your advantage. My front brakes are a little spongy so they finally took care of that it looks like. I may have to take a look at the new one myself! Enjoy the riding!!

@@alienxyt the brakes are great, although I have a ktm 300 xcw with the brembo and it isn't quite that good. I've mostly been riding it on vet tracks to break it in and get used to it so I will see how I like the gearing this weekend on the main at state fair where I am going. The suspension also got an update but its so soft for me that Ive gone up 6 clicks of compression in the front and its pretty harsh in braking bumps...just a stop gap though until I can install the new springs. The bike feels like a modern bike when you sit on it and that is my favorite part

Stough Canyon, ride up the fire road to the towers

Thanks man!

Ya there were definitely some beat up portions of the trail but it actually wasn't that bad. I did go up a few days later and it was worse

Sweet, I'll let you know, sometimes I get a Friday

Straight No Braker for sure I got a short dh run I’ve worked on in Ventura I go to by myself but I wanna go back to Simi Valley and feel comfortable hitting everything. There are some sick lines to be had out there. It’s not fun rolling by looking at it knowing you can huck it but being conservative instead.

@@ADVENTUREforMILES Ya its a place that takes a little practice to link together. Ive actually been riding more mx lately haha

Ya I heard that too, Grudge was pretty rough though, there were a couple things that were worked on for sure, but I think those dudes were probably working on Undertow. I only had time for one run though, I was by myself so I had to pedal that damn road haha

Stough canyon, at the top

I think I like Grudge more, but lately have been more into Undertow

Straight No Braker what up man, that was me who ran into u today. Using the wifeys acct. yah I’ve been hittin undertow a lot lately too. Rode both today.

@@magnolialee4288 Hey man! Ya we did both today too. We were in a rush to get up for our last run because my buddy had to go to work otherwise we couldve all hit those trails

I think I just felt like I could've gone faster into the last turn but I got scared and hit the brakes

Straight No Braker yah u can def pick up speed down that section and then you can boost or hip jump off that rock in the bushes as u make that left out of the bottom

@@magnolialee4288 mind blown....Im going to check that out, I don't think I've ever really solved that last part, I tend to just put it into the "its the end of the trail" category. Thanks!

Thanks man!

The same fire road upline you would take to access Hummingbird but you go about .5 miles and keep your eye out for an entrance on the left.

Thanks man!

Thanks Bo!

Thanks dude!

Thanks man, I'll check it out.

Ya I love it there

Ya, I'm ok thanks...broke a couple ribs

Ya good to meet you! Thanks for the info

Chest mounted, definitely not as high video quality as the Hero6, especially at the time of this video but since then they have made a ton of updates and the video and sound quality keep improving with every update download. Stabilization was the seller for me, broke way too many gimbals.

I see the Garmin virb is trying to do the same thing. They look super high def (5k) but their software doesn't' seem to be the same. I love the concept of filming 3D but having control and panning off to the side or if you want to talk to the camera... Regular 360 videos, when I'm viewing I don't know where to point it... Anyway, I'm sold. I saw someone with a reseller link; but may have been an old one. But if you got one post it.

Also, the Virb is like $300 more. I rode Porcupine Rim while traveling in my van. Was so awesome I hit it again on my way back across the country. I was about half your speed! though I rode up it too :) www.strava.com/activities/363079301

Wow! You rode up it? That's insane. We shuttled to the top, this is my favorite section towards the bottom of the trail. So great out there. I definitely recommend the Rylo for the amatuer like myself. So easy to use.

yeah man I ride up faster than I go down! That tail whip you're buddy is doing; been trying for months to do that and have no clue. I can drift the back wheel on the road a bit by getting my weight forward and braking, but actually whipping up a bank and all; no chance! It's not something you need to do racing, but it's that confidence and control I'm after.

You basically pick the angle in the Rylo app and make minor adjustments and then I edited it in iMovie on my phone.

Thanks

Haha!

Ya, I get that...I just wish the video quality was a bit higher but other than that its been the perfect camera

should have a desktop app soon! I can't wait for that. If they can improve the resolution and white balance (some firmware updates have helped) it'll be incredible

you guys got it already?
