YZ250FX Clutch Control Practice

#yamaha #enduro #singletrack
I mess around just getting use to the clutch every ride before I load up or sometimes before I ride I will try setting the front tire on the rocks/messing on the log, but need a better log...this one moves alot and not very big need bigger one to eventually try pivots. Slowly learning.....this stuff is fun trying to figure out.

added this to one of your older videos -- Four years ago I got back into riding after nearly a 25 year layoff (work, kids, travel sports, etc.). I purchased a new 2019 YZ250FX and ride the same type of trails at AOAA, Mountain Ridge and other Pennsylvania areas. I have my bike setup with a G2 Throttle Tamer, different link and the Torque Map and my bike is pretty good in the rocks and tight trails. Different tires will also help since the stock tires are not a soft compound. My bike can lug and is way more difficult to stall over a stock bike. To get better at riding tighter trails I added the G2 Throttle Tamer and Torque Map and rode in slow figure 8s in my yard for weeks. Learning throttle and clutch control while getting use to your bike will change your mind about the YZ250FX. For hard enduro a 2 stroke may be better but for the trails around us the YZ250FX is pretty versatile and can handle most any terrain. Join the ThumperTalk Forum and go to the YZ250FX page. I started a Map thread that is posted at the top section of the YZ250FX Forum. Other riders have added their Maps for different setups and conditions. Its also a wealth of information for all things YZ250FX. Don’t get rid of the bike just yet…….

Whats the difference between fx and f?

[@pete8149]

The FX is the Cross Country Model.... fuel tank is 0.6 gallons larger than the F totaling 2.2 gallons. FX has kickstand, skid plate and 18-inch rear wheel. FX is Softer Suspension ...Also the transmission fx 6 speed....f 5 speed. There other differences too...think the f has 2 more hp.....but the differences listed above are the easier ones to pick out. This my first dirtbike so really don't know all the details. Thanks for the reply.

Also, off the top of my head, different base ECU settings so the same map will work differently on the two bikes. There is also a low fuel warning light on the FX. Depending on the years, the right side radiator and hose routing are different for the same generation. The FX lags the F by one year each time there is a move to the next generation. The clutch arms are different. The FX has a heavy duty stator and can easily power lights and other accessories. I THINK the stock silencers are a bit different but I dont remember for sure. The axles are sometimes different diameters. Some of the plastics are a bit different even for the same generations. The FX has a battery. The left side foot peg mount is different because of the kick stand on the FX.
