- Installing the Panthera electric start and trying it out for the first few times in the garage. Video coming soon on the first couple rides and my initial impressions on performance.
You can check out Panthera below (not sponsored by them, but I like the product so far)

You don't need electric start on a 250cc 2-stroke. You just need to lower that stupidly tall YZ 2-stroke (I have the 2019), so you can pull out the kick start lever with out falling over. :)
1" off the seat. .75" off the suspension top out. You go take the berm way on the outside there stilts,--I will take the inside off camber now. :)
Great video! Great job explaining everything and definitely looking forward to how this mod holds up. 🤙
Great video Devin. Keep them coming.
hello my friend how are you.... i am brazilian and a lover of two stroke bikes, i had a yamaha wr 250z 98 and i also adapted the electric starter on the motorcycle, i used it for years and in enduro I see the importance of having an electric start, yamaha is sinning in not inserting the electric starter in the yz 250x and they should increase its motor by 300cc..... you have my congratulations, your project was excellent.....
Please write them and tell them. I did.
I used 2 SC1 Batterys for 24v to starter it starts SUPER FAST!

Thanks for the video brother mines on the way
Stay tuned for my first ride video with it, spoiler alert it has been working really well! I had to bend the clutch arm on mine a little bit for clearance which I missed in this video. I talk about it in the next one. Enjoy the kit!
So nice I can’t wait to order my thanks.
1 question I see you add the Electric Radiator Fan what brand name s or Kit name the you recommend thanks
Hey Cesar, I am running the TUSK universal digital radiator fan kit from rocky mountain. I honestly can't recommend it. While the fan works the temperature sensor on mine failed. I ended up wiring it up too a simple switch on my bars so I can manually turn it on or off. This works well but isn't perfect. When I find a solution I really like Ill be sure to make a video.
@@GoldenAppleGamers thanks for the info great bike sounds good 👌
@@GoldenAppleGamers maybe look at the oem sensor from a modern WR.
How do you like the panthera stater 3 years later?
Couldn't quite hear you over the bike when it wouldn't start. Basically wont start cold on the e-start ?. Wonder if the 8 cell would be better cold ?? . Either way I'm looking forward to mine ! , don't mind kicking it cold anyway 👍
It wont turn the bike over quickly if your not "Trying to start it". This means fuel on, choke on, throttle cracked open like you are ready to go. I have cold started it a number of times now using this procedure and it comes straight to life. Once it has warmed up for a few minutes it starts instantly, but you still have to crack the throttle a touch like you normally would when kicking it. drop a subscription, I have a first ride video comming out with a tip on bending the clutch arm. Looks like I should pay more attention to my audio in the future.
@@GoldenAppleGamers that sounds promising then ! Even if it didn't start cold ,I would prefer the extra room afforded by the smaller battery . But since it does, even better 😃. Very nicely done btw 👍
So far so good with the smaller battery!🤙🏼 air filter change isn’t that bad with the 4 cell battery. thanks for watching and commenting!
8 cell is no better
I figured it wouldn’t have much more power, just extra capacity. I have been happy with my starting during ridding. How about you?
Looks great! Nice job buddy
Thanks Nick!
Hey I met you at Grinding stone. We were talking about your yz as you were refilling your radiators with water bottles lol.
Hey Steven! I remember chatting with ya!! Hope you enjoyed the view of the race on the video!
@@GoldenAppleGamers yeah the video is great!
Hey thanks for the video. I also have a 09 yz250 ride at carnegie as well. I have been hesitant on getting one of these after watching/reading some of the bad reviews. How has your system held up? Still worth it? Any lessons learned or failures of the system? Do you know if panthera has made a 2nd gen model for the yz? Thanks for your videos!
I have been meaning to make a follow up to this video…. The system ran nearly perfect for 18 months. Put over a hundred hours on it. I then started having some weird symptoms, i thought I blew up my motor. It turns out the bike wasn’t running because the stator pickup had debris on it. This was a big deal but at least it was fixed. The bike then ran perfect. I put about 5 hours on the bike, perfect. I then took it to a race, page AZ hard enduro. About 15 minutes into the race bike completely stopped. The stator had failed. I actually swapped back to all stock during the race and finished a single lap. I was very upset. I contacted panthera, and he wouldn’t help me because I was a few months out of warsnty. I would consider this a defect or a design flaw that is not acceptable. In any case the stator failed. If you do want this kit get the version without charging. It has its own isssue (you have to modify your flywheel permanently) but at least it will not leave your bike dead with absolutely NO way to fix it. Unless you have your whole stoke flywheel and stator. I think the company is cool, the idea is cool, the build quality seems high. But I think the design must have some issue. I will be getting a bike with a factory e start next, for now I will either ride without e start or use the kit without charging.
@@GoldenAppleGamers Devin thanks for all this pertinent info. Yeah I think the same that it is a great idea, but long term not there yet. In the middle of the desert or forest and the bike completely dead unable to start.....kinda a problem and with a one year warrant at that price, gonna keep on kicking and bump starting this machine until I do the same of buying a bike with e start from the factory. Thanks again for your time getting this info out!
Also wanted to ask did you install an on off switch for your radiator fan?
I installed the tusk racing universal fan and attached it to a battery but I liked your idea of wiring in a on/off switch to your handlebars to manually turn it on and off.
Also what are your thoughts on a big bore 300 upgrade kit....have you installed or looked into getting one?
How has yamaha not made an E start for these bikes? You would think at least there would be an aftermarket kit that has been around for a while that has been proven to work
My friend do you have starter kit for yz 125 for sale?interested buyer here
It's a Yamaha, YOU SHOULD BE USING YAMABOND! That's blasphemy!!
Does anyone know if I can buy the pantera electric start for a 1998 honda cr250.. and where can I get it???help plz??
How much weight did it add to the bike overall .
Hi
what is the weight of that panther kit?
is that a 2015 model?
Why would oil be coming out of that side on a 2 stroke?
How many USD ? My friend
Whith fork protector do you use? Very nice!
how are you finding it so far ?? greetings from Australia
Hi! Absolutely loving it, well made and durable product and it does exactly what you want! Start the bike! Check up on my other videos where I use it quite a bit. And don't forget to subscribe :)
the small battery is very suitable
Do it work withe 450?
How to order to Indonesia (asia) ? Pls help

"What!?! This things tiny" - that's what she said
Looks like vent might be pinched with zip tie.

You kinda sound like Jeff Walker
Trying to copy people who know what they’re doing with this UA-cam thing! 😂 haha
@@GoldenAppleGamers lol
No, it’s not the new enduro super weapon. It’s a great bike for what it is. Don’t waste time and money trying to make it some it’s not...it’ll save you lots of frustration.
It's all down t personal preference. I don't think the bike has any flaws after adding the electric start. Most fun bike I have ever owned!
Had many bikes, but the yz is just awesome.
SUZUKI RM 2007
Impact driver, get one.
I have one, I don’t always use it.
I didn't know the swingarm is above the air box news to me I couldn't imagine putting a 1200 dollar starter on a 1200 dollar bike
Caught that too.. I'm sure he meant subframe.... I was going to comment, then I suddenly realized I wasn't a douche. Pretty sure a 2020 yz250x is worth more than 1200 especially in today's market and with an e-start, probably even more
Just kick start your bike FFS ! Or buy a ktm grandpa package.
Got it for racing hard enduros. Energy adds up in a longer race and time too. Otherwise I think kicking works great.
