You're welcome! It's definitely noticeably improved fuel mileage for me.

Thanks man! She's a beaut for sure. Sorry to hear that, so far I definitely recommend the hyde racing plate/guard!

They're inexpensive and really well made, polisport makes some good stuff!

Appreciate the advice/vote of confidence for the shim mod man! When I do a clutch pack I'll have to pull the whole cover and remove a washer!

Thanks man! Yeah I'm surprised that I don't hear about more people having issues with that.

@@premixpeter1972 Np. Have you experienced the issue of the bike frequently going into Neutral when down shifting from 2 to 1?

@@yz125enduro7 I absolutely have! I usually just make sure to either start in 1st or not downshift when hillclimbing

@@premixpeter1972 I want to say it's getting better as the bike wears in, but it could just be that I'm unconsciously double tapping. Funny, I never had an issue with this on my yz 125.

@@yz125enduro7 it must be something with the wider ratio trans. I have a 2006 wr450 an i hit neutral on the damn thing at the worst possible times

Thanks for the comment man! Good to hear that the lectron is so awesome, I've been holding off on one for money reasons but with all of the changes in elevation I ride it would be so nice to have one! and yeah it ould be great to make a shorty with a spark arrestor in it somehow, the turbine core and/or pro circuit type 296 are definitely not the best for weight reduction or performance. And I'm glad I gave you some ideas on how to mod/improve your X. It's a small thing, but that pipe gasket is a big improvement IMO. Bike has at least 85 hours on it now and still no leakage at all!

Good lord the 14/50 combo is so tall. I couldn't imagine 15/50 unless it's all wide open stuff.

@@scottgaskill4896 i weigh 165 it pulls me great!

Will do next time I do a top end, appreciate it man!

They definitely should. Unrelated but be warned, while the much improved brakes and ergos are nice, the resigned X has a very small tank. IMS just started making a 3.2 if you're interested.

@@premixpeter1972 your absolutely rite it’s small I’ll look into that tank I have already noticed how fast i go thru a full tank thanks

Not sure if it is for Gas Gas, but everything they make is available in the US.

Agreed.

@@premixpeter1972 where did you find that small inline filter at? All I could find is the big oval shaped ones that's too big

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the setup so far, just trying out those tires as they're super cheap and are supposed to wear really well. STI tech 2 pro.

You can but it would be extraordinarily messy so I take it off.

@@premixpeter1972 yeah.. thats seems like the best plan of action. 👍

The YZ250X is definitely a compromise bike as far as set up and price goes. I really like mine as a jack of all trades, but I will admit that when riding the really technical terrain I find myself wanting the e-start and crawler gear!

What is wrong with the keihin?

The lectron has been around since the 70s while the pwk was designed +20 years later. I was asking because everyone I have talked to that says a lectron transformed their bike overnight has never tried jetting the keihin. Those that have a correctly jetted keihin nearly always prefer it over the lectron. Was your keihin correctly jetted? Did you have any spooge with the keihin? How about now with the lectron?

I wont troll you. Instead of asking what is wrong with the keihin I should have asked what you like about the lectron over the keihin. Does it pull off the bottom better or have a better over rev? Better range? Clean up a rich condition at part throttle? I have only drove a snowsled with lectrons once.

And, yeah, I have a jeep yj with a sbc 350 and I would take a 4.8 over it any day of the week.

Thanks man! As it was in this video I think I'd put about $750 dollars worth of performance/protective parts on the bike. After selling the arts that some of them replaced though on craigslist and eBay (for example the oem silencer, pipe, fork guards, etc.) I was only out about $400. As far as the mods and who put them on, I bought the bike box stock and completely unmoved so everything on it I put there. The dealership didn't put ANY premix in the gas and proceeded to "break in" the motor on straight 87 pump gas and consequently roasted the top end. So I had to replace the cylinder and piston, still running the stock crank as they're much more resistant to running without oil. Over 80 hours in and so far so good!

What type of dealer ran a fucking 2 stroke with no oil? Whatever that place is, I wouldn't buy a single thing from them.

I'm sorry I don't know the part number, but if you look up any 17-18 KTM/Husky 250-300 two stroke on an OEM parts finder it's the same part for all of them that seals the expansion chamber to the silencer.

Ended up removing it when I mounted up a desert tank. Appreciate the heads up!

I bought them on RMATVMC

Premix Peter ok thanks for the response. Just bought a 19 250x yesterday !

@@motoguy3174 dude congrats!!! You're going to love it👌

No they have the previous owner the bike with non premixed gas to break it in with. Then he sold it to me.

I just got a used yz 250. 2006. 2nd ride. The piston Ring cracked in half and destroyed the cylinder. .. I should have checked it all over before I drove it... Had the new position and rings.. but I took the guy's word saying it run mint

It does! That was the first bike I used it on.

@@premixpeter1972 thank you, wish i knew about those earlier!

I use 14/50 (stock). It's too tall in the tight technical stuff but it allows me to hit pretty high speeds in the desert so I'll be sticking with it.

That’s the trade off with these bikes not having a 6th gear, I like the gearing when I’m in the right stuff just end up in 5th pretty quick on the open stuff, still love the bike

Not the same fit for a 125, and you can order them off of several sites including eBay and RMATVMC.

@@premixpeter1972 when I put i 2019 yz250x it says dose not fit

I used to run (at the time of this video) either Motul 800 or Maxima K2 (both high-flashpoint, high viscosity, ester based synthetics) at 36-40:1. I've since switched to Honda HP2 (a LOW flashpoint, high viscosity polybutane based fully synthetic) at 32-36:1. I did this because the Honda leaves significantly less sponge and seems to still offer great protection. It's also cheaper.

I really like both, but they're surprisingly different for both being 250 2 strokes. The Honda was significantly more powerful. It had a torquey bottom that transitioned to a super strong mid range hit but not much over-rev. Keep in mind that my CR had the head cut, vforce 3 reeds, and a full FMF system while the YZ just has the FMF system. Frame and Ergos wise the CR feels significantly larger than the YZ. At high speeds this was nice as it felt more stable, but the slower and more technical it got the more the YZ's tight egos and flickable feel were an advantage. The suspension on both is pretty excellent, but the YZ's SSS really shines on unpredictable high speed chop that you find out in the desert. I guess what I'm saying is that while initially the CR is more exciting to ride, the YZ is definitely the more well rounded bike for riding a variety of different terrain. Truthfully if I was an mx only rider I'd have to give it to the CR, but for what I ride the YZ is the superior bike.

When you had the head cut, were you still using pump fuel or race fuel? I have noticed that high compression kind of kills the over rev on some engines.

@@brianmorrison9066 Just 91 e-free pump fuel. I don't want to be restricted to using race gas on any bike I own.

I have, due to price I'm just going to stick with the stock carb for now though.

Premix Peter very understandable

@@premixpeter1972 you should look and getting the squish set right

@@KoltFin I'm rebuilding the shock soon and will set the sag then. Definitely something I needed to do long ago. As of now it doesn't have enough and has excessive headshake as a result.

@@premixpeter1972 squish is usually the term used for the clearance between the head and the piston. aftermarket heads that you can change the domes have different squish areas. The magic number tends to be .048-.050". A stock yz has around. 071". What it does is makes it easier to jet and runs crisper. Some people say if you get it done you don't need to get a lectron. It costs around 70-110 dollars to get your stock head milled down. These are the guys I'm sending my yz's head to. www.apex-technical-innovations.com/shop-1/oem-cylinder-head-squish-modification

No

What ratio do you use?

And what is the recommended for the yz250x

@@motodrew7860 The manual specs 30:1 with yamalube 2R. I use Motul 800 or Honda HP2 at 32-40:1 depending on conditions. Both work very well. Yamalube is good but a bit thin for the bottom end viscosity wise.

Thank you I'm planning on buying one in 2 years

I run 36:1 with either honda hp2, maxima k2, or motul 800

I ended up taking it out when I put in the oversized tank. How would it cause engine failure?

I would say it may filter oil out of gas and lean out your mixture or the element could clog your carb up. Either way you have a filter in the fuel petcock on your tank built in. You can always ad a mesh filter where your fuel cap is that works well.

I don't know about engine failure. But ide say it was upside down. Flip it the other way and you will be able to see if stuff is collecting in it. ( Kinda the point of clear filter) Rather than the perforated cone filling from the inside were you can not see it. It would probably clogg much quicker with that orientation as well.

I'm in the Boise area, but if I'm ever over by Pocatello or if you're ever in Boise we will have to!

To each their own, personally I like it (but mainly just like how it doesn't show dirt and scratches as much) but I can also see how it would look better to have the classic blue and white.
