I have a 2018 250X and couldn't be happier! I live in southern CA and she handles vet-level MX tracks, sand dunes and wide open desert with no issues.

Love the zip tie trick for the pipe. I just filed down the one from my kids trampoline on the bench grinder.

I have the same set up as you except I have the lectron carb. Awesome bike! and good review.

super clean bike

Love my Yz250x, most versatile bike out there

Nice truck;) we got the same bike & almost the same truck!! Great taste buddy!!

I love the look of the stock black pipe. Is there a noticeable difference when you changed the pipe? How so? Thanks man, great video.

just ordered the kit for my 2019 im pumped to get it dialed after fouling some plugs every few hours

Hi there Mark, I'm almost in the same boat as you as far as bikes. I have a Beta 498 set up as my "adventure dual sport" and my Super Tenere. I got rid of my beat to crap 05 KTM 300EXC. I bought that bike new and raced a little bit of desert novice class and nasty trails. I'm now pushing 60 years old and want another 2 stroke. I really like how you are setting up your bike to fit you good. You can't beat the price point and reliability of the Yamaha. I'm looking at the 250FX or the 250X as my next trail bike. The simplicity (and reliability) of the 2 stroke is hard argue. Good job and good luck on your racing. Put up a review of your Smart Carb when you get it.

I love the rear brake rotor protector ! Which one is it ? Gottta put this thing on santas list🤓

JD jetting kit is the way to go if you are riding elevation! They have their $#it together! Nice bike

Smart Carb = Smart Move

I'm new to dirtbikes. Why isn't there a yoshi pipe for the 250x? Awesome video BTW

Let me give you a great tip for putting on your front wheel, because all the YT vids are wrong, and your forks will not be parallel, (causing some binding and premature bushing wear.). You can have a simple tool made with a lathe, and I have the length of the tool already figured out for that bike (I have the 2019 YZ250 2-stroke). With a axle clamp loose on the right side (opposite of the brake disk), pumping the fork or stopping the spinning wheel with the brake does not do a good job. Have a 1" diameter piece of aluminum stock machined off at both ends to be 5.661" long. That is the distance between the lower plated slider legs where the forks are parallel, and it fits through a hole in my brake disk. With the bike on the stand, wheel off the ground, tighten everything but the right side axle clamp. Then slip in the rod between the chrome legs as low on the fork sliders as you can (through disk works well on mine), nice and straight, and tap the loose clamped end of the fork with a rubber mallet until the round stock is tight between the legs, (and straight), then tighten the clamp, and carefully remove the aluminum tool (you can put a bit of grease on the ends of the tool to make that a bit easier, but the aluminum will not damage the hard plating.). Now your forks will be parallel with in + or - .001". After getting stiffer springs for my weight, and using the YT methods, I actually had to go one stiffness further for the springs because I eliminated the binding---that everybody has by following YT pros. With those YT methods, the fork had to move at least another .020" to be actually parallel. I also rotated my bars back down to what we used before freestyle, and all the sudden, I could corner better. I am glad you have that tank. I bought one just like it, but have not mounted it yet,---and it is not as ugly as I expected. :) Doug in Michigan

Ah the ability to get whatever you want for a bike, I can only imagine the fun.

Curious to see what your thoughts are with the smart carb on the X, will you post a video?

Hi nice video , I have the same.bike and jd also am curious what oil fuel mixturre do you use with jd

Are you going to add a Apex XC head? Awesome bike - it is on my short list for my next one.

Have you thought or heard about the power valve gov mod and apex head?

I like to power wheelie as well as slow clutch wheelies alot of time . Will the 250x be good for doing wheelies?

Quick question, you said 50/1 might be too rich??? I'm on a 23X and have been running rich. I keep cutting oil but I'm scared to go too lean

Try the governer mod it helps the mid range out with a bigger hit

Can you put lights and blinkers on the bike from the factory.

Any info on fitting the Fastway Evo 4 footpegs to the 250x? What modifications were needed and what fitting kits etc did you use?

Are you rebuilding it every 8-16 hours like the manual says? 😃

Haha, you forgot to buy a 6th gear and estart. Haha, lectron... New seat, send the frame to be poweder coated, new graphics for more power, new grips, tubliss, recluse automatic clutch. Basically all you hot is wheels... Those wheels are nice

Are the 250X metal clutch plates steel or aluminum?

Did you put the oversize tank on? How did the Acerbis tank fit? What size is it? Thanks

How does the size of the gnarly pipe compare to the stock pipe?

55;1 is extremely lean not rich right? most people running 32,34,36 to 1 on this bike....right?

Never saw a smart carb on a yzx ..I got the pipe on my yzx thinking bo

Bike has no top end, hits a wall in 5th gear. Jetting or govenor mod needed?

I know its old but 50:1 is lean on oil . You were saying its rich. Gas:oil ratio

Question for ya.. Did you find that where the stock pipe go's into the motor , that the pipe was really close to the frame. Any idea why it's so close ? Is the new pipe fit the same way ?

Hope you oiled that air filter!

55 to 1?! Isn’t that super lean for normal riding conditions??

99

I don't like the blue rims on the New bikes. Wish they'd just do black.

want to sell that stock pipe ?

.

The welding on that frame work looks terrible!

Get yourself an electron carburetor never jet again..
