Arm pump setting in and my suspension felt too soft on the YZ125. I should probably get them adjusted for my weight.

Panic rev and fatigue at Flackwell Heath MX

Couldn’t hit the middle jump consistently so ended up adjusting too much. I was getting tired each lap as well which made my riding sloppier.

XSR700 60th Anniversary Edition - First Ride!
Hello there can you do long trips with this bike ?
A 38-40mm tire with a characteristic tread would not only solve the Brommie cobblestone problem (which Bromptonists face very often in city centres), it would make riding more comfortable in general - and it would make off-road makeable to a certain degree (which campers face often with their Bromptons). I would have expected such a tire with the Brompton "explore" (which was just green and brown + a bag and that's all what was "explourish"!?). Why not a cooperation with Conti, Schwalbe or whomever for such a tire? I know several board discussions people asking for such a tire for their Brommies.
It’s a great bike. I love mine
I wrote dirt bikes as a kid and early teenager but didn’t get back into it until I was 31 years old. I bought a 2006 YZ250 with every Bolton you could ever want and that was my first bike on the track. I’m better now but it was certainly humbling getting used to that thing on a proper motocross track
is it better than a surron?
Thank you here in Flagstaff Arizona!!! Your 200 miles in travel impresses me to go buy one, I'm looking forward to travel the USA!!!
Nice vid nice bike!
I just ordered at 2022 one in the olive green. I went for a size small but my height said I should get a medium so I’m glad you said you was recommended a size lower
Is it fast enough like other mtb with say 2.4 wide tyres????
I've just bought an XSR pick it up in a few weeks after my holiday, same colour as yours which i think is the best colour. I can't wait to get out on the road again 🏍
Defo the best colour! Hope you enjoy putting plenty of miles on it 🛣️
I have the x-max 250 since 2006, no problems with it yet - only oil change and a rubber pipe that got old, tires changed (all service done at home), I like it's narrow body and the huge space under the seat - two helmets + some extra, that I can keep luggage between my legs when shopping exceeds the space under seat. Gas costs about 20€ per month, I can park anywhere without any costs and the moment I step down I'm a pedestrian, without need to carry helmet, gloves or wear special boots or pants. I'm leaning towards the x-max 300, I have the money to buy it but I see no reason to switch except for the looks. I have another 3 motorcycles - one 1200cc, one 660cc and one 500cc but these are only for fun - the scooter is the everyday utility vehicle.
Gotta love flackwell
Good video; why did you change the variator? ( 12000km)
12000 miles which is 19k to 20k kms
hey man i liked the video don't be ashamed about falling over and all that because it happens to everyone and is apart of getting better we all start somewhere even the best riders.
What year is this
Whut?? Does anybody know is this is also possible for a pre-2017 x-max 400?
Those ruts are deeep 😂 how you going now?
Good stuff, thanks for posting. I'm surprised you didnt use any threadlocker or anti-seize on the axle. Also, did you tourque the sprockets? I'm not sure what the manual calls for there.
Not necessary to use Loc-Tite on the axle. Never has been on motorcycles. And, don't overtighten it, or you will deform the swingarm.
@@HorsepowerHouse I misspoke. I meant locktite on the sprocket bolts. But anti seize for sure on the axle.
👍👍👍👍✌️
Lol
What go pro settings you using, max stabliser? 4k 60fps? What colour options with that filter? Thanks!
1.5 liters for saturated filter, 1.6 liters for fresh filter at the end of every two oil chnage intervals - is what the manual meant, no need wasting oil rinsing it, just put 100ml more in for the new filter.
We all start somewhere but yeah not the best bike to learn on but you got what you got and you keep on goin and building up.
I'm thinking of going from 50 to 52 on the rear... what are your thoughts?
was this ur first bike?
I ride 14/37 bike so snappy 👌
Yeah but tops out at like 50 😂
@@WarningSign1000 nah 63 big dog. When I get this 212cc it won't even matter my top speed will be good for me.
This seems like the opposite thing you'd want to do on a 2 stroke??
Correct if you want to maximise your ride
Anyone got any idea why mine won't reset? The "oil serv" warning came on so not sure if that changes things. I've changed the oil and filter.
I think this is the ONE
Agreed!
Its a decent bike to be fair🤌🏻
True! 🤣
Which garmin is that mate are they any good
Where is the lighter fuse located
Im 3’8 and 317 pounds do you think extra large would fit me?
i HATE that lilly pad
Have fun and be safe buddy
Thanks man 🙏🏽
Change gear mann
ok man
These are the best Grom videos in my opinion 👌🏻you guys seem like a great group to ride with!!!
Thanks man! I need to get out on the grom again
Really should used proper torque
Quality !
🙌🏽
Where did you get it from DRD ?
Yeahh got it from their website
Love your content pal anymore coming. Plan on doing the same on my channel document my mx riding
Thanks man! Yeah more to come, got a few rides this month. Defo do it, it's fun looking back and seeing all the progress you've made 👌🏽
The storage space is a big advantage. That's a huge space under the seat. Could probably do a good sized grocery run, or a weekend trip somewhere.
Hello! Quick question. It looks like you have the comfort seat? On a 1-10 scale where would you say it is on a comfort level compared to the standard seat? I heard that the comfort seat steals some of the front storage area compared to the standard seat due to the extra foam, but I haven't been able to confirm, since it seems like I can't find that comfort seat where I'm from and would have to ship it from overseas. Thanks much from the USA!
It’s the standard seat here in the UK
@@tapecknows ah you know what, I think I just confused myself. It seems for 2023 they redesigned the standard seat and the comfort one they sell is just very similar in design to your model. Thanks for replying!
Keep practicing mate, I’d advise you buy a 4 stroke.
Maybe one day!
could you help me with finding the right rear sprocket? the link is not working for me
Nice vid. Just uploaded my VIP video and came across yours
This or Burgman 400?
It does Not work this way at 2021 modell unfortunately. Edith: it does go
Thanks for sharing!
@@tapecknows I have asked my garage today. He gave me the tip to measure exactly 15 seconds with a stopwatch. That worked!!
do i need to buy a new chain if i were to change to those sprockets on front and rear?
Depends how many miles you’ve done but it’s worth getting if you’re doing front and rear
