The beauty of the YZ250 2t is the bike really hasn't changed in 15 years, the motor goes back to last century. That means that parts, both stock and aftermarket, are cheap and plentiful. They are an easy platform to mod to fit your needs. I had 2005 and later an 2006, I paid $2500 for the 2005 in 2008, and $2800 for the 2006 in 2009 with 40 hours on it. Nobody wanted a 2t back then unless it was a KTM. I bought all used, an oversize tank, FMF woods pipe and quite spark arrestor, WR 18" wheel, skid plates, kickstand, rekluse... Everything switched over from the 05 to the 06 when I ungraded for the SSS forks. I put the cleanest plastics I had on the 2005 and sold it for what i paid for the 2006. I had to sell the 2006 in 2012 for health reason. I put it back to stock, and sold it for $3500 with a 100 more hours on it. I easily sold all my used woods parts and made a profit on most of it. The Honda XR's and Kawasaki KDX's are the only other bikes that went so long basically unchanged. Neither one of those is the weapon the YZ250 is. I recently started looking again for another used YZ or YZx now, and it looks like people have figured out that 2t's are fast, cheaper to run and just more fun. People are asking $3000-5000 for 15 year old YZ's. It's crazy, but I guess the secrets out.
Great production Kyle. Like your interview, quadcopter interjections and iterations. This is a nice style for you. Smooth transitions make a difference as well. SO WELL POLISHED. REALLY ENJOYED THIS!!
Awesome bike. I am getting back into riding this fall after being out of it for a few years and riding four stroke MX bikes. Your videos have really helped me on trying to decide what bike I wanna get back on and I'm gonna take a plunge and try out a 2 smoker! The yz250x fits my budget and seems like a great bike for what I wanna do. Keep making the videos and thanks for all the info. Really has helped me.
It took me a while to find my favorite bike for the single track riding that I do as well. I ended up landing on a yz250f, added a Recluse clutch, 290 big bore and worked on the suspension and was good to go. Absolutely a great woods machine with plenty of power to get the front wheel up and over obstacles and super nimble to carry plenty of speed around the corners. That was coming off of 300 then 250 KTM 2 strokes. loved those as well but they just do not feel as planted to me. Great interview and nice modification to that 250.
As the saying goes Scott, orange is just a colour, blue is a state of mind. I have two WR 450’s and will be getting and setting up a YZ 250x in the spring for a couple of bucket list enduros I want to do,including the Corduroy up here in North Eastern Ontario Canada. A Rekluse will be a part of the upgrades. At 63 I need all the cheat codes I can get! Cheers!
I'm putting a lectron carb on a 98 kx250 that I have put a lot of work into. Fork rebuilt clutch piston plastics and seat. I'm excited to see how well an old bike could do
Awesome video. Dirtbikechannel motivates me to ride more. This channel is awesome. I can't wait to get a respectable dirt bike. I have to wait about a year though but videos like these keep my hunger alive. For now I'm ok with my pit bike.
Great video. Very glad to see this isn't just another sheeple vid for the Popsicle brand. Would really apprecaite a bit of a writeup as well in vids like this where there's a very long list of mods some of which I can barely understand the speakers' words. Thank you.
Awesome video. Yamaha deserves some love. I have the 2020 YZ250X and I love that bike. Basically I was able to get a used 2015 KTM 300XC and a new YZ250X for the price of a new KTM or Husky. Best decision I made. Both bikes are amazing. 👍✌️
NICE! Being a "technical rider", ... not just "of" the 'trail' but including the bike ... also, ... this was a "very interesting" review of the YZ250X.
Daryll, Scott, i hope ya see this... im in Ontario Canada and been on the fence what to get after thieves broke inta my shed and hooped my 2003 RM250 ( grrr) you can go to a yamaha dealer and pick from a new, 2018, 2019, and 2020, but was thinking bout the new 125x as i weigh bout as much as Scotts left leg.... or a Gas Gas somthin with E start.... but i see theres a company in Quebec putting E start on the 250 X ! for bout $1200 ! thats bout $300 merican lol.... they evan but e start on CR 500 and KX 500 ! quite a bit more but....gives a guy like me a chance to own a CR500 ! gotta be every kids dream from the 80s , luv yer show dude!
Good interview. As soon as the X came out, my KTM 200 was for sale. The KTM was a great bike . Great engine, suspension, brakes, clutch. Being a 200 I was disappointed that is handled like a larger displacement bike. The 200 always felt really big and fat and it took awhile to get used to it. The yzx is quite the opposite.It feels slim, compact and has a shorter seat height. Needless to say it is confidence inspiring. The stock yamaha clutch is beautiful. Easy pull, excellent feel without fade.I dont miss the hydraulic clutch, but it was nice to use ,I don't ride roads or desert. Deep woods riding in BritishColumbia, as ugly as it gets . The suspension was excellent right out of the box, jetting took a bit to clear up but I got it. I don't miss the bigger fuel tank but miss the electric start. it's not an issue because it starts so easily . Yamaha needs to cap the front hub bearings like the rear cause you need to buy wheel bearings in 6 packs . The bottom of the air box is wide open for more air flow but it also let's water in through deep water crossings. I've had 14 bikes since I was 18. The Yzx I can say with confidence is the best all round bike I've ever own.
@pablo gonzalez If I wanted a 300 I woulda bought one. The only thing a ktm has over the yz is the Brembo brakes and the e start. The white power suspension is NOT better than the Kayaba units. Every other manufacturer is playin catch up with Yamaha and their suspension.
I have a old '03 YZ250 and a '14 KTM 350. Probably have around 500 hours on the YZ and 10 hours on the KTM. When it's time to ride I always choose my YZ
I recently bought a 17 yz250x and having owned a variety of bikes like my most recently sold Ktm 14 300exc six days, txc450 husky, kx250, kx250f, yz250f... I can without a doubt say that the yz250x is the best bike Iv ever ridden and don't think I will ever part with her.
I own a 2016 KTM 350 XCF-W Six Days... Only have 8 hours on the bike and detailed showroom clean... Fuel pump or Fuel Injection died out on me and bike stalled in the woods... Would not E-start and kick worked, but, ran like garbage... She's getting fixed now and I bought an 18 YZ 250X... KTM is for sale now... This YZ is the BEST BIKE that I have ever owned... Simply does what your mind tells it to do with ease and it'll shock you with its power so hold on... Just added FMF Gnarly Pipe with silencer... VForce Reeds... Radiator guards... Hour meter... and a few other needed parts... Disk guards... GYTR hand guards... Pumped to rip this baby up now... This bike is the deal... Bye bye KTM and thanks for leaving me in the woods... !!!
@@tommysiemienik7172 glad to hear this. My ktm 300xc 22 hasnt idled since 20hours and has almost got me stuck in the woods. Im selling it asap and have a 23 yz250x on order.
@@joeydirt420 I'd buy another YZ 250X anyday of the week... Awesome machine and stock suspension is spot on... What your mind thinks... X will do... Auto Pilot mode... Enjoy... !!!
Wondering if Scott would like a stock MX hit and valving? Considering they sell the wide-ratio kit to add these gears to an MX version, you could go either way. Get the X to ride more like a MX with pipe and compression or the other way around. As always GREAT JOB with these videos! You guys rock and I love the realness and honesty, and how you guys can share perspectives from different skill levels.
I’ve thought about the wide ratio kit if I ever get into my 13 YZ250. what’s gears are different between stock YZ 250 and YZ250x?? And how much does it affect top speed? In this video he said 80mph?? Wow!!
Yah Nice to see an Update.. A big reason I bought a YZ250x was because of your videos you did on it.. I was thinking about getting a YZ450f, But after seeing your videos of the ktm 300s, and the Yz250x, I decided i should get something that is for single track, cause thats what I like to ride. And I went with the YZ250x Partly cause I like Yamaha, and I got a good price over a KTM.. But I might end up with a 300 two stroke at some point.
I have both and I would liken the yz 250x to like a Ford Raptor and the 300 is a Jeep Wrangler. Both so fun, the xcw is the best for really techy slow stuff or long rides for comfort. Anything fast and you want to go with the yz. The suspension is not even close. Yz hands down
This is a great video. I have a 250x and love it as well....Agree with Scott on the very bottom....I run a lectron on mine as well. Was wondering if Scott went a 1/4 turn rich or lean? Also, did Scott go with heavier springs in front or just rear? I resprung the back (I weigh 200), but was thinking of going up in the front by one level. - fork feels pretty good, but was wondering if going up would help it even be more plush. I feel like when I stiffen the compression clickers in the fork, my bike responds better and feels more plush. Great vid, thanks!
Are you sure its Not the V-Force 3 reeds that changed the mid to wide open Power .?..the stock reeds seam to open in stages .Great interview ..thanks,,
I just emptied pockets and got a lectron for my yz125. Worth every penny. Also I had factory connection do my suspension in the past. But now my airbox rubs on the spring. The lectron is about 1/4" longer than factory. Has your friend Scott experienced this with his bike as well?
I have an 05 yz250 and a 08 ktm 450xcf and the yz ALWAYS puts a bigger bring on my face! Scott mentioned he changed the pipe but never said what it was. Can you tell me?
I bought a YZ250 in 09 and pretty much turned it into an X model with gearing/motor/power valve/brakes and suspension mods and only sold that bike in early 2017.... LOVED that bike! Smoothest 2 stroke ever made and handled like a mountain bike. I probably would have just kept that bike forever if it had electric start but I'm getting to an age where no push button is a deal breaker 😕
I wish Yamaha would put a wide ratio in it. All they did was change 3rd gear. At least out a 6 speed in it. My husky has a tractor first and second gear is great for tight woods and it tops out at over 145km/h. Has the perfect gear for every situation.
Very cool video, question: where are you guys riding in this video and what State do you normally ride in.... meaning, what state are most of your videos filmed in? Just wondering, because it looks so amazing and I need to do some riding there. Thank you
Does "I could never get(the power jet) tuned" mean I tried different power jets and had no luck or I couldn't fix the power jet because I never bothered unscrewing it?
Just a heads up, the newer alloy frame yz 2 stroke started at 2005 not 2006. I dont know why people always think that it started from 06. Anyway great vid :)
I have a 2005 YZ250 and it has been bulletproof for me. The reason it is always overlooked is because of the front forks. They actually work great once they are revalved, I just put in Race Tech gold valves which flow a lot better than the stock compression pistons do. They work great for me and I ride MX and trails. It is all about the setup.
Are those the new rad shrouds on that tank? The set I have won’t fit correctly on the Acerbis oversized tank. Curious if anyone else has the same issue.
Enjoy your videos saw all your yz250x reviews last year when I bought mine. I do mostly technical stuff my 2017 manual say the sprocket hearing come 14/50 stock, not 52 Right?. Anyway I am going to go up to a 52. Love the bike had a 2008 CRF 450 r before the Yamaha feels so much lighter. I think it's a lot more fun to ride over the old CRF.
Lol, I have this bike and I broke the welds off my chain guide this weekend!! My swing arm seems to be undamaged (we'll see for sure when I get it off this week), but I was planing to just re weld those tabs. Did Scott have any issues with it after or did he do anything special to make it work better?
I added some extra support, I own a fabrication business so it's pretty easy for me. Just find a good tig welder and some scraps of aluminium. I actually used the wheel and sprocket to line everything up for me. Good luck!
Your original review convinced me to buy a 2017 yz250x as the ktms were just a bit too expensive. I came off a 2014 rmz450 that just wasnt right for me. Your review was spot on. Loved this bike. Im 170 w gear on an the suspension is amazing. All of the really tough trails i made but struggled on are so easy on this bike. At the end of rides i feel great ready for another loop not beat up and tired. I do find neutral more than i like, the gas tank is too small and i miss that 450 raw grunt on the open trails but i love my yz250x overall. Single track hill climb killer. Keep up the vids kyle they are the best ones on youtube.

Great video Kyle.. I always enjoy updates on the YZ250X. And Scott seems like a great guy to ride and learn from.

Hey Scott, what's your pipe setup? I know you have a tc2 but what's the front pipe? @Dirtbikechannel
Just a heads up, the newer alloy frame yz 2 stroke started at 2005 not 2006. I dont know why people always think that it started from 06. Anyway great vid :)
The 06 got the updated ssf forks still similar to todays bikes .
yeah, that is the one significant thing that did change.
I have a 2005 YZ250 and it has been bulletproof for me. The reason it is always overlooked is because of the front forks. They actually work great once they are revalved, I just put in Race Tech gold valves which flow a lot better than the stock compression pistons do. They work great for me and I ride MX and trails. It is all about the setup.
Are those the new rad shrouds on that tank? The set I have won’t fit correctly on the Acerbis oversized tank. Curious if anyone else has the same issue.
Great video’ were is that place located?
had a baseball sized stick set between my engine and exhaust header on honda 230. cracked both bolts and gave me exhaust leak.
I put a 15 tooth on front and now 1st is very usable in the nasty stuff and the top end went through the roof
Your doing it wrong
Kyle, can you pls post the web site from that inyection or electronic jetting that was instaled on that 250X pls, thanks!"

Doug Henry❤️
don't let it go to your head Scott please
I love my yz250 x bike has a lot of power
What’s the top speed
I'm having same issue with the jetting on my yz same sputter where he is talking about
Look up Kinger 40 Power Jet, solve every issue with my 250x
The area looks very familiar where you guys in Idaho ?
Smoked you guys all day😆
At 6:20 in the video, where is that and can you ride to that point?
I wouldn't lend sell or trade my 250x. I love the bike. Lectron billetron 38 makes it so crisp.
Kyle please teach us how to shift?
Where is the cabin? Is it available to the public?
Nice video! Bonne video 🇨🇵
Great interview,
Could you detail the YZ250X motor mods, gear & product used? Like carb, cilinder head, pipe etc.
Thanks!
I would love to know as well. Thank you!
Enjoy your videos saw all your yz250x reviews last year when I bought mine. I do mostly technical stuff my 2017 manual say the sprocket hearing come 14/50 stock, not 52 Right?. Anyway I am going to go up to a 52. Love the bike had a 2008 CRF 450 r before the Yamaha feels so much lighter. I think it's a lot more fun to ride over the old CRF.
That's what he said. 50 tooth.
He said 50 tooth rear sprocket, I hear it now
Thought he said "comes with a 52 rear sprocket"
Skf fork seals ftw
Does your power valve vent hose drip oil out of it.?
Lol, I have this bike and I broke the welds off my chain guide this weekend!! My swing arm seems to be undamaged (we'll see for sure when I get it off this week), but I was planing to just re weld those tabs. Did Scott have any issues with it after or did he do anything special to make it work better?
I added some extra support, I own a fabrication business so it's pretty easy for me. Just find a good tig welder and some scraps of aluminium. I actually used the wheel and sprocket to line everything up for me. Good luck!
Your original review convinced me to buy a 2017 yz250x as the ktms were just a bit too expensive. I came off a 2014 rmz450 that just wasnt right for me. Your review was spot on. Loved this bike. Im 170 w gear on an the suspension is amazing. All of the really tough trails i made but struggled on are so easy on this bike. At the end of rides i feel great ready for another loop not beat up and tired. I do find neutral more than i like, the gas tank is too small and i miss that 450 raw grunt on the open trails but i love my yz250x overall. Single track hill climb killer. Keep up the vids kyle they are the best ones on youtube.
