I owe a big thanks to you Jason. You inspired me to sell the WR450 and get back on a yz250. Having an absolute blast on it. Best decision I’ve made. Thanks legend!

Thanks for taking the time man. Excited for that estarter u have to come out in the market

Keep the videos coming! The mx dome is also my favorite out of the three. You’re definitely becoming the YZ250X social media guru that people lean towards for anything 250X related!

Thanks Jason for all the techniques! And the Starter info too!! :D

Hope they produce that starter.

Awesome video as always mate!!!!

I love the fact your different and not just feeding people bs. And because of you i just bought a 2020 250x oddly enough its got almost all the same upgrades even the flex bars. I just need to figure out the Jetting for 1000 ft elevation

Excited to see the trail cutting video

Front of the peg!! I like climbing with the ball of my foot right on the centre of the peg, but I can see how sliding up on the peg could give that forward pressure we are all searching for. Maybe it will help me get used to the foot position required to land on top of something while covering the rear brake too. I'm okay with brake taps in the air to level out but not when landing on the rear wheel when trying to find holding pressure. Thanks for the tips, epic video!! 🤘🤘

Awesome! I'm definitely going to use the front part of the peg next ride!! My tip.I like to ride as slow as possible on hills I've pretty much mastered already, focusing on clutch/throttle/balance, even coming to a dead stops without dabbing sometimes, doesn't always work but can make an easier hill funner. Terrain dependent of course.

Prince George. Excellent. I was thinking " where the hell are you riding cause it sure looks like Kamloops area " (Inks, Greenstone) your presentation is fantastic.

Nice video and awesome tracks 👌✊ ma mates have already giving me a ripping for the give away question 🤣

Awesome video! Can't beat team blue. Love my YZ250.

I'm excited to see this

For side hills... Speed/momentum also can help. Usually there are short sections of side hill that is just plain unrideable, but if you have enough speed it doesn't really matter. If you don't have enough speed and you start to slip and slide downhill, you will continue sliding downhill. But if you have enough speed you will only slip downhill for a short time until the trail levels back out, and then you will regain control. The trick is having enough speed to get through the steeper or slicker parts of the side hill while not going so fast that you cannot control the bike. Confidence is a big help, and you can gain confidence by static balance training and riding a lot of side hill.

Great vid!

I used to get Yamaha DT125R s for woods an the expansion pipe on them were bigger than YZ 125s , I made it fast af, I had a YZ 250 it was 2 fast

I port and stroke 2-stroke engines for a living, (little ones, but same concepts), and I have some easy mods to gin a lot more, (and smooth) low end power for the YZ 2-strokes. I have a 2019 250, and I think the head was lowered compression from about 2011, and my mods use my stock head. All mods are reversible. First, the bolt on parts: The YZ250 is made with high rpm power in a futile effort to keep up with a 450 on a fast 450 track. Ain't gonna happen. The bike is very tall, and has a terrible engine for the woods, (or tight MX tracks of old). 1) I use a FMF Gnarley pipe, that has a lower rpm peak power point than my stock (YZ MX, not X), pipe. Quality is very good, but the stinger mount is clocked a bit off around the stinger tube. I bent the aluminum mounting bracket a bit so it sits flush. The rest of the pipe is fantastic quality, and it ads smooth lower rpm power. 2) V-force reeds. The stock top reed stop plate block off about 50% of the rear reed boost port, (plate can be cut down), and you lose a bit of power because the port does not clean out the top/rear edge of the head as well as it could, (using 90 octane gas will detonate there first, because hot exhaust gas still exists there most.).. The V-force reeds do not use a stop plate, (so the port is clear to flow), and the petals open up earlier for more low end power. I am not using the stock aluminum spacer plate between the reed block and the cylinder, for tighter crank case volume and a stronger hit. 3) I lowered the cylinder by not using a stock cylinder base gasket (.5mm I believe), and sealing the cylinder to the cases with a good gasket sealer that holds up to gasoline, (no problems with 3M Nitrilie 847 rubber and gasket adhesive, brown, found at McMaster Carr). It is more important to get a good sealer with this engine (compared to older ones) as the coolant also needs to be sealed under the exhaust port. That 3M product is great stuff, and i apply it with a medical syringe, (cut off needle) for a perfect bead. The lower cylinder does 2 things for more low end power. It raises the compression (need 100 octane fuel now, but it is worth it, and it is harder to kick for the electric starter dependent.), and lowers the exhaust port time area to better match the lower target FMF pipe. That is hwere the "magic happens", when you have the pipe matched to the poritng for the rpm power peak you want. I have the stock gearing still (I usually gear down a bit, and will do so when I need a new chain/sprocket set), and i weigh 200lbs. I can now "short shift" the bike with no clutch, (just let off the gas for the shift), and it will not fall on it's face. Lifting the front end over stuff at lower rpm is now a breeze, but it does not hit too hard for me, (I won't need a flywheel weight for my single track riding). 4) I also lowered my bike .75" ion the suspension and 1" off the seat, for much better cornering and foot dabbing to save a tip over. I got rid of the Batman plastic, and mounted a 175 gram frisbee for a front number plate,---because it made me laugh. Quick release too. :) I also modified a set of Cyra full wrap hand guards to be super compact (made a new inner clamp for the straight section of the bar. Looks like a "flag style" from the front, but super rigid. I would like to sell the design. I could not stand the newer YZ when I bought it. Now,---I absolutely love the bike. It is nice to have the experience to make a bike how you want it. It is also nice,--to know what you want. :) You can make the YZ into a great bike for anything, sans keeping up with a 450 on a modern MX track. Because the stock bike is set up to try to keep up with a 450 on a MX track, the stock bike is not really "great" for anything IMO. Doug in Michigan

Great video

I don't find a lot of enjoyment in the real tight stuff you ride. But if I got into it, I would probably use a trials bike.

Recently sold my 19 tpi 250 it wasn't necessarily a bad bike but I'm an ex moto guy and I can't ride moto on that thing with how soft the suspension is, I think the yz 250 is a great base for everything so I'm looking at building a do all bike plus the build quality of the yamaha and simplicity of a cable clutch and carb just appeals to me to keep fun simple. Mixing gas and hauling ass. Great video helped me iron out a few things.

Best guy on youtube

About time

Stumbled on your channel. After seeing a vid I bought some burly SXS hand guards for 22 YZ250. Awesome. What size battery did you use on your prototype estart. I have my pre order in and cant wait. I have an SC-1 AG battery unused and wondered if I might be able to use? Half the weight and power of recommended AG-801.

I just discovered your channel. Thanks for the info. Do you mind sharing your jetting settings, type fuel and oil mixture that you’re using?

Great video Jason ! I'm running a 2020 yz250x and lowered the stock gearing 14-50 to 14-51. I have noticed a small improvement in technical terrains but I always tend to be torn between using first or second gear for hillclimbs. Should I go with 13-50 or 13-51 to help that? Still want to be able to cruise flowy single tracks in 3rd💁🤦

Hey any more news on that electric starter? Being a shorter rider having a yz 250 in the Australian bush. I struggle to kick it over. I struggle to get my leg over the bike😂. Thought about lowering it just for starting purposes. But really don't want to lose that ground clearance. I have no problem riding it at its current hight.

OK ,,!!!! I do not want to buy a husky or a KTM I have had a 1998 380 KTM, 2001 2002 KTM 400, two 200 KTM’s, love the 200s KTM 300 I have two 83 YZ 100s that I race . I have been currently racing a 2003 YZ 250 desert for the last six years I just love it I’m ready to go buy a brand new YZ 250X or continue with my 2003 YZ 250 however ,I need a button I’m 57 it’s helpful on the technical stuff. OK Panther-e start Lots of negative reviews. Fisch moto Is it the answer I’m willing to wait to be different thanks for all your help and your videos.

Saludos ... que marca es el kit de starter????

Are you still running the starter? Can it be ran with the gyrt weighted flywheel? Long time ktm rider and just got a yz250. Going through e-start DT’s…lol

Are you still using the fisch Moto electric start? I’m pretty close to pulling the trigger and buying one

Jason, Do you run any type of fan on your YZ and if so is it a solo ISO battery, meaning a battery you would have to recharge after awhile?

Are you using Hydraulic Clutch - starter has good clearance in between? Thanks

Hey mate cool video , Iam the same I’ve had about 5 or 6 yz 250,s now , what’s your thoughts on the fuel range just to confirm I don’t have something wrong with mine this latest one I have now seems to only be getting 40 or so km before I hit reserve and about 60ks out of my 11 litre clarke long range tank , that’s pretty much race conditions

I am interested in the starter where you got it and the engine cover for enduro, I am designing one for enduro in Puerto Rico,if you can know where you get the pieces

hello please, I have a few questions for you, did you give your head with a larger volume? if so, does it run on the same nozzles? or should the nozzles be replaced when the head is replaced?

They better hurry with that e-start, getting ready to sell my 250x and get a beta for the e-start. I looked at the Pantera but there are so many complaints.

Have you thought about a 300cc big bore? More low end torque ideal for hard enduro style riding

When's this alternative e-start gonna be available?

If the 250x had factory starter and hydraulic clutch i would never own another bike.

Could a headlight be hooked up to the e start battery also?

How many hours you get before replacing?? -Top end -Crankshaft

Hope they produce that starter of 01 cr250

how price eletrict stater for yz250x ,sir?

Do you have to get permission from land managers to build trails?

Any word on the starter?😁

20:12 Why are you wearing a South Africa cap?

What's a y zed it that's Like a yz?

Update on the starter

I’m always so confused when you call it a “yzed”… why do you call it that vs YZ

I tired contacting/doing business with B-rad. I have cool products I made and would like to sell the design,---but it seems like they don't like doing good business with people. I could never find a way to talk with a human being for a reasonable conversation about the possibilities. I see that as immature, to be hidden, (while trying to do good business), for some odd reason. No phone number---no business with me. Business is personal to me.

? I start my Kawi 300 with my hand. Come on!
