Great review, you can never go wrong with the trusty time tested Yamaha’s.
That front rotor is a floated rotor, and I regularly put 80 to 100 hrs on them before replacing, they do get a lot of play in them but they last long time. Also, very good review and sentiments on this bike. I feel the same as you. And when you describe being a kid seeing the bike coming down the road and smelling the smell I felt that inside my soul.

Another item I'd recommend for big power gains is the STIC Super X carb. It put my SC back in its box. Where metering rod carbs still need porting and head mods for big gains, the X on a stock engine creates a completely dialed race engine build from low end thru an extended broader peak HP. I use this on my 200 to hunt down bugger bores at the tracks and I've assisted 125, 250 and 300 riders to do the same. STIC also offers a metering block for the PWK carb. It is nearly as outstanding. Either product is a great value in that they do not rely on any engine changes period. Well, I do use the slowest turn G2 throttle cam for my MX tune. Otherwise exiting slow turns is mayhem for line choice into a jump face.
Just another choice, but I've talked to two 125 riders that returned to stock, as they did not know how to tune it for less gains or softer delivery.
Did not know that 🤔
I hate kick starts, but lets be honest if you wanna 2 stroke bike that you can ride for years to come with minimum issues, this is the one to get. If you wanna keep the bike for some time, you dont want to be dealing with electronics and injection on orange bikes.
I have 16' yz250x. Love it.
Good review! Honestly it costs less to put electric start and a light than a KTM from dealer!
Buy used, around the same price point.
@@SlowPokeSingleTrack Yes 100% thats what I did!
This dude is great! BEST BIKE EVER!
Floating rotor is good...better braking, better wear on pads...doesnt bend/brake
Change it out every 200 hrs...works great...
Only thing missing is electric start ..if they added that, I’d buy one tomorrow
For about 1,200 you can buy one out of Canada. Comes with everything needed for electric start kit. FischMoto is the company.

The YZ is great for fast flat out rides or fast moto. You bring that YZ bike along one of my rides up huge long gnarly hills and my tricky tight technical single track, and the KTM, Sherco and Beta will completely out perform it by far. Have fun on that flat stuff, that bike is perfect for that.
spoken like a true clown that is just talking out their ass.
You’re correct. I own a ‘18 Yz250x and love it. However I just can’t keep up with my friends when riding extremely gnarly trails. They own ktm 300’s. They’re bikes have such an electric linear style of power. I’d still rather have my yz as I like riding faster flowing trails and some moto. The yz is a blast to ride. They’re is just a huge difference in what the bikes are designed for. My yz feels much lighter and slimmer and is just more fun when ripping down a fire road or racing a sprint enduro.
@@grantd1011please stop saying “linear power” please. I’m begging 🙏🏻

I would not change the Smart Carb I like to have the best performance out of the engine and that's what gives me that.
Looking forward to your suspension update video. Are you coming to the Ormond Hare Scramble?
I messed up my left knee with the YZ and I'm in a healing stage... Not good enough to be there. Good luck for you at the race
@@roberturmosi-dirtbike-atv Sorry to hear, get well soon.
@@kramdunc Thanks you!
@7:47 what was that in the tree it was running??? I have the 24 250x and just love the bike I ride rocky ST and I don't miss the estart that much.
Looked like a lizard.
So with routine maintenance and not beating it. Would you say it's cheaper then dealing with valves on a xr650 daily basis wise?
In that case yes! and it's much lighter and definitely more fun than the XR
whats fuel mix u using?
30:1 What I'm mixing up.
@@roberturmosi-dirtbike-atv which oil?

A gas gas is the same price. And it has everything a person wants
Yes it dose and even looks good! Only thing is the engine is so much different due to an European regulation. If KTM not forced top pass those high standard regulations they engine would not be like the way it is know
Gas gas has that goofy problematic tpi system which also doesn’t give as good throttle response as a traditional carb. Carb > Tpi every time.
@@chadrides914 You guys obviously believe everything you hear on UA-cam. My bike has well over 50 horsepower and over a 120 hours on it and I can still see the cross hatching in the cylinder. I have never had one issue. It runs circles around the 2024 300 TE huskvarna, I know this because my friend just bought 2 of them. Go ahead keep thinking what you think. No I have a great bike and I only paid 6900 For it brand new off the show room floor. If you can't see the common sense in this there is no sense in arguing with you.
@@chadrides914it’s TBI now
Okay get one and then come comment again after 20 hours when its threw a tantrum on you
Obsolete next to a 250xc
A lot of ppl are happy to pay a fair price for old school with amazing suspension. It seems like a YZ would of only ment throwing a FWW on. He is heading it back to that power and spec.
Almost 40 and diein to get another bike after selling my old cr125r, i think this bike is the answer thanks for sharing your thoughts and issues and how to fix them! Cheers!
Right on,Cheers
As someone currently saving for a YZ im stoked on this review for a number of reasons.
What year is your model ?
Same, I’m saving up some cash. I might just go finance one though (I’m impatient and at this point I dont care) lol. Debating between YZ125 or YZ250.
Cornering is very nimble ...
You likely need suspension adjustments
Sag, como, rebound, etc...
I fixed the cornering problems what the YZ has in another vid where I show how the four stroke Yamahas get the updated offset triple clamp but the YZ. I put a 22mm offset triple clamp on it and now works like it should
Hi Robert. Do you know if the OEM Ofset triple clamp that comes on the 450s fits the YZ250X?@@roberturmosi-dirtbike-atv
And what differences have you noticed in cornering? Thanks
@@MichaelSchwab-nk4rm Hi, That was the first thing I was trying but unfortunately the upper triple clamp not the same size far as fitting the oem fork in to it. There is a gentlemen who I talked about this in the comments and he ended up boring it out and works fine of room and he actually like the offset what it gives
@@MichaelSchwab-nk4rm Way better than was before, The handling of the bike know is superb
