I've had the same dream since I was younger as well. A 2 stroke dirt bike on the street. The only problem I see is refueling when you are away from home & all the tickets i would get for ripping like I was off road, so hard not to crack it open every chance I would get.

Any bike is street legal when you don’t care about the cops

Having it done to my 2019 Husqvarna TE300i straight from the dealership in Texas. It's like waiting for Christmas morning!

Stumbled on this video as I was searching for conversion ideas.....and there was Chad!! Good to see you are still riding!! I remember the days chasing that YZ250 around!!

Man this took me back. I grew up in São Paulo city Brasil. Me and my homies, always rode a street legal Yamaha DT200 to stroke. They stopped making it and now it’s exactly the same like it is here in the us. Riding that 2 stroke heaven in the city streets was the best thing one can have growing up. Great vid. Cheers 🍻

OMG the YZ 250 is like my all time favorite dirtbike since the mid 80's! I had no idea they still made two strokes in 2018! This is SO awesome. 😀

Nice! You can also get a Beta 300rr (2 stroke), comes with everything you need to get it street legal (headlight/taillight, wired for turn signals and has a horn on the bike)and if your state is strict, just get it titled in south dakota and then transfer it to your state. The Beta 300rr has an oil injection system so no messing with oil and fuel mixing which is more beneficial for street.

Just finished my conversion for my 13 YZ450f to street legal, Thanks for being my inspiration! Maybe I'll see you on the roads around Washington! Ride safe.

Yes it is a young boys dream come true. I live a block from our city cop shop and run my Beta 300RR Race edition past them regularly. Having a 2 stroke plated is awesome and definitely had it's benefits. Especially sharing that 2 stroke smoke with the local traffic..lol 🤘😬🤘

Great job, man! Congrats on having your MX bike licensed! My guess is that my state (California) has additional requirements that make this conversion illegal, but it's worth investigating. Love your kit and installation ideas! I know what you mean about our love for 2-stroke bikes! I grew up in the 70s around CZ, Maico, Husqvarna, Ossa, Bultaco, Sach/DKW/Penton, Hodaka, AJS, Rickman Matisse, etc., and the closest street legal bike to a real MX bike back then was the Honda MT series, which was the street legal versions of Honda's Elsinore line (an absolutely kick-ass line of bikes!). Anyway, yeah man, that's awesome that you now have a great street legal REAL MX bike! Congrats again!

One of the things that was nice about the beta is that it comes all wired and ready. All you have to do is plug in some turn signals and a flasher to the existing harness. Controls and everything are there already 🖒

*Adventures Unknown* - Nice work! The *Tusk Enduro Lighting Kits* are awesome. Cheers

I don't know why I'm so excited about this but I fuckn am.

Awesome man! Glad it worked out for you so well! You seem super stoked! Cheers!

Sweet You're Back! I love those bikes too.

Could you get closer to the camera, I can't see your face ...very well.. 🤣🤣🤣

OK I'll just skim thru this vid before I walk away from the computer, 17:21 seconds later I'm wanting to street legal my bike, at least I want to install the light kit, awesome video.

Nice. So much easier in the UK. All we need over here is a brake light and a horn and then you can get a daylight M.O.T ( D.O.T to you guys ) The down side is you can only ride the bike in daylight hours.

Those kits are so neat, every dirt bike needs that if not already equipped

That thing is so clean. Awesome build!

I’m jealous, I just spent $10k on a Husky FE 350... thank you CA!

This video made my day, and I have never even owned a 2-stroke

Nice video broth..! You help on my decision about rear tail light..! 😀👍

Hey how did you route the front brake line behind the Baja light? Wasn't the front brake line too short? Did you have to put on a longer brake line to route it in back of the baja light? I just bought a 2019 yz450fx that has a short front brake line and I'm trying to figure out how to route the brake line around it or behind it.

Found you just browsing bike vids Chad, hope you're well my man! Say hi to the other guys "over there" if you see this. Sending y'all love from down under. - Young Don ;)

Love your mentality dude. Sick bike !!

Greetings from England !! That bike makes my heart beat fast ! respect and thanks

Hell yea this is a project I can get behind good work👍🏼👌

nice, i did a similar set up with my DRZ250. you passed inspection without DOT tires? idk what speedo you have but trail tech vapor is the way to go, has tachometer, engine temp, miles, ect. also a tip on those mirrors, i have the same ones, place them on the under side of the handle bars (facing toward the ground) makes visibility soooo much better.

Great video bro you covered all the details thanks for putting in the time and effort...

That's a tasty job.. Don ye jus love the smell of a two stroke.. Greetings from 🇮🇪.. Tanx for the info

So glad you made this video - excellent information!

Very good video! Thanks for sharing and I'll be using this to do a supermoto!

Nice work I'm.working on doing the.same kit on my 18 yz125 I can't wait this helped me.out

Excellent video brother. I just got the bug to do the same thing so this video is perfect!

Good job. Great upload. Really informative. Finally a dual sport 2- stroke!!!! Put a bigger tank on, yr done. Good job. Ken

Nice!! You did it. Sick af. THE DREAM. definitely a crazy one 😂 a must.

Awesome video! Where I live you wouldn’t get very far without a title.

Thanks for this info! Great video

I did the street-legal conversion to a YZ450F '05, in Utah. My bike was a former AMA supercross race bike with no vin number on frame, factory race frame with no wet-sump oil in frame! It ended up being impounded by DMV after a inspection of vehicles at my shop, they thought it was shady despite what i told them. After providing my proof, I got my bike back, and the Utah DMV riveted a special custom vin plate on my frame to associate with its new title status, like its a custom-built motorcycle now. It was after I got the bike back I finished the full conversion to street legal status, used the same Tusk wiring harness. Safety inspection and its golden, great right. I gave the bike to a friend of mine in Cali! Now he has the only street-legal-registerable YZ450 race bike (supermoto) in California. I even own an '84 Honda XR500R framed bike and Utah DMV just told me they can't get me ownership of a lost title because the bike was never issued a title when new ('84 dirt bike)! BUT, if I convert bike and get safety inspection passed and bring it in.. I can get street-legal registration and that will actually be my proof of ownership also, with bike not having a title.

Good, straight forward info, good job.

I got my 1997 WR 250 2stroke licensed here in Arizona. People give you the craziest looks when you fly by them on a 2 stroke

Welcome back! 👍🏻👌🏻

Damn dude, you did a super sano job on your YZ, totally impressive. Looks kinda like a wiring nightmare to me but what do i know. I might just try this on my RM, thanks for the awesome vid!!

Nicely done, I like that "other" states do not require the blinkers or even an inspection. Up to the end user to install all equipment and know the law. My personal bike is a 2004 YZ250WR/DS, I am building a 2003 YZ325X/DS kit (to be installed), and have 2 2003's ready to assemble and DS (they will be for sale). Damn right they are fun to rip down the tarmac. Set of street wheels is in order. Hahaha

Super Clean, well done. Great video

I want this setup, im looking forward to this summer riding with my predator helmet and my 250 2 stroke. So hype bro ur video was very inspirational. Ill be riding everyday possible to work being that i drive maybe 30 miles to work. Looking forward to the crazy looks like dudes on a dirtbike yo hype 💯💯💯

PS. I do love the 2 stroke trail bikes /MX ers I had a Suzuki RMX250 with 6 gears and that bigger fly wheel is just absolute gold! Honestly if you're street/track riding see if you can source a Yamaha WR250R fly wheel for your bike! You can stand on the pegs and just putt past your mates up steep hills while they are nearly getting bucked off in power band. I just love that extra 6th gear and man was it a tall 6th gear 140km/r on 2000s MX bike is fairly crazy...11:1 compression and port and polish bore n sleeved shotpeaned and balanced assembly! I miss that bike so much

This is pretty much the dream of any MXer! I'm doing it! can you imagine a KX500 enduro on the street?!!! already got a line on the legal part, so this is gonna get done.

I've made 2 dirtbikes street legal in the past 4 years. Did all the work myself. Super easy if you know what to do and if you can do so in your state.

I had the same dream bro xD finally come true ! Cooming soon the before/after of my YZ 250

Your alive welcome back.. 😁

Awesome video man!

thanks man, great video!

I have a street leagal KTM EXC 125, and oh man their fun in the town

Wow this is going to be my next project , I just bought a WR250R last year because I didn’t have the money to get the YZ250 + a kit like you got so I now I have regrets!!! I should have saved my money , damn you Bike is sweet and it has so much upside potential!!!

West Texas I'm going for it. Thanks Bro!

Great video thank you

Awesome video!

Before CR500 production ended in 2003 (they stopped importing them to the US after '01) they were sold and street legal- in Australia. Had full lights, mirrors, etc.

You're right, every kid wants a legal dirt bike

Super clean....NICE !

Very nice job thank you.

Good job Bro. I have a 2012 Kawasaki KX250FI. The kit you installed, do you know if all the parts fits on my bike? Or is the kit universial for any dirt bike?

Very interested in doing this conversion. Does the stator provide enough juice to keep the battery charged? At least by shutting the headlight off when on the trail? Any problems to look for so far? Any help would be great.

Is there a more detailed video of how exactly the stator, battery, rectifier and such are all wired? Or a wiring diagram?

Yes I have had that dream good sir!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your dream is the same one i had 45 years ago with a Suzuki RM in the UK.. I rode fields with it mainly but the teen in me meant i chanced it on the roads occasionally One day a policeman in his car and a police motorcyclist were waiting for me.. i just jumped a ditch and took off over the fields.. never saw them again so luckily they didn’t know where i lived hey! Brilliant video i might still get a yam and the kit and go for it.. A fuel gauge would be handy though… I had a ktm exc and the thing was always out of fuel..

Welcome back man..;-p

Good content brother

there were a few YZ's motoxer 2 smokes compliance over here in Australia , my mate had a street legal yz 125

Makes me want to move to Washington!

Could this kit be used if you run a 12v battery and NO stator change? I realize the lights will only run as long as the battery is charged enough, I'm thinking of emergency only light and occasional blinker use. All running off of a small battery like you got. I could recharge it at home as needed with a battery tender. Think it would work okay for short periods of time? Most of my riding will be in the day time. I'm having trouble finding a larger stator for my KX250F.

Sweet - good for you . Thanks for sharing

You might have been about to use a kit from an it250 / dt200r .. powerdynamo makes an adjustable innert rotor kit for those

Should try putting a 15t front sprocket to help spread it out a little more and maybe a flywheel weight. This is sick!

Hallelujah! I need this!

Dope VW van! I have a 2012 yz450f probably going to make her street legal as of rn she’s strictly dirt

Awesome for sure going to do this

I think it's awesome and I'm looking forward to doing it to my bike

Hey man. Great video! Looking at the wiring kits it seems they are only availabke for the 250f and 450. What kit did you use? Do you know if your kit would be the same for a yz250? Lastly, did you ever calculate fuel mileage? Thanks !

Beautiful, nice switchgear

Did the same thing to my yz125. Its nice to ride around town and to stores while camping. Only problem is I can only go 35mph without riding too high in the revs. I did put on a bigger rear sprocket though.

I've been having dirtbike dreams my whole life. Some of the best dreams I've ever had. Then I wake up and I realize it just a darn dream and I'm gonna be late for work again

I’m in Washington state too and have a street legal dirt bike as well!

Soo cool thank you for the tip I will check in my state if it is possible 👍👍👍

I did this exact same thing to my 250x. Did you have issues with the front brake hose hanging up on the light?

Nice! I just bought a new 2021 KX450 last Saturday. Do I have to change the stock tires before having the dot inspection?

sorry if i missed it in the video but did you order a kit for a yz250fx off rockymountain? and which stator exactly didnt see one for a 250x

Awesome. Thanks.

What if I just wanted a Headlight and a brake light ? Would the wiring be the same?

Have you had any issues with the stator or anything since the install?? I'm thinking about doing that myself and just talked to the dmv and dfa and they said it's a go as long as I got lights!! I have the 2018 yz250 also not the x tho. Any tips would be much appreciated

Sweet bike. I wish I could do this in Cali. I did update my ca green sticker 2002 yz250. Made it like a 2018. New swingarm, forks, 270 cylinder, 18" rear. Etc. Etc. I had to get the '17 fe350 for my street needs.

Awsome bro!

Hey man great vid. I'm about to do the same to my yz250. Out of curiosity which bike did you select for the tusk kit? It shows it for the 250f and 450f and not the yz250

dope kit!

Did the headlight wire directly into the tusk enduro kit or did you have to cut and splice wires ..... ?? Was gonna do a 450fx and need a headlight. Think I can run off the OEM battery on the 450, what do you think? Thanks a bunch! Nice work

i live in santa cruz cali and the traffic is absolute bonkers out here, I'm taking a moto safety course soon and have a 250 lined up for purchase. i can't wait to zip around town down to the beach, up to the mtns on it!

I was born in Washington and once u said Washington allows this I want to move asap I wonder if u can make a banshee street legal, Idk but I liked the video and you earned another sub 😊😊😊

Hell yeah I did this to my yz426f!! My 02 kx250 is next
