Its right up my alley. My 98 KX 250 is a little too aggressive for guests... this looks like it wont kill my friends if I let them ride it 😂

Grrat video, one huge power delivery difference is the non counter balanced yz motor . A counter balancer is like a big fly wheel weight. One reason i really like the 12 to 16 ktm motors they are very light and rev quick.

Thinking about getting a YZX soon. I forgot to mention I had a 85 YZ 250 that I rode back in the day.

Good riding brother

Cool video...thanks for posting!

You should develop a brake light delete that replaces the light into the handle on the rear bumper….clean that tunnel up!

I bought the first run of 250x August of 2015. Absolutely love the suspension! Fly wheel weight I found is a must. I feel like I'm riding my MTB when riding my two stroke.

Excellent review...thanks for posting

All the tech going into these new soy toys.😅

People like to bag on the 2006 chassis without acknowledging that it is 30 years of Japanese refinement. The rider triangle, stability and balance of the Yamaha have felt like home from the minute your push it around the garage.

I have a 17' 250X and I love everything it offers. I'm 6' n 190lbs. Vibration in my hands was a big issue but after installing flexbars that issue is history

Feel any need for a heavier flywheel weight?

Hauling ass! Mind sharing which trail this is? You can comment it on one of my videos if you don't want it posted here 😊

Well done

Sweet video! I just picked up a 2023 YZ 250X. I am stoked to have a 2 stroke!

What clutch weights and springs are you running for what elevation and what lbs of boost?

What’s the best bike for really tall guys

Is the yz250x. E-start and kick?

Really nice review. More every day comments that we can understand. Hopefully you will post more videos.

Great review! I had a 2019 250X and sold it to buy a motocross bike. I wish I still had it because it was so much fun and easy to ride as in your video. I like the look of the 2023 plastic and I will be buying one soon after they hit the floor.I have a 2021 250FX that I use for off road but I really miss the 2 stroke.

I also switched from a KTM 2t to a 2020 YZx. I’m just a weekend warrior. The simplicity of the YZ is so fun. It’s just an old school 2t but it feels super crisp. The KTMs are precision woods weapons but the YZ puts a big smile on your face with how raw it is. Only thing that i need to fix is the vibration for longer rides. It vibrates through the bars way more then my KTM did. Going to try rubber mounted bars this fall.

Great review! I've owned a late model YZ 250 but not the X. The X seems like a great package for the woods rider. I own a 2018 KTM 300XC currently but that X looks like so much fun.

The YZ250X is the best enduro bike I ever owned. It just loves to ride and have fun. Its a giddy bike.

I have a 2017 YZ250X with a SmartCarb and I plan on keeping her until the frame disintegrates. STUPID amounts of fun to ride!

Is the 250x more manageable on the trails vs the regular yz250?

Are you related to Don Bailey

I am 61 and just got 125x!! But the wearher wrnt to crap and only have 40 minutes on it!! But what a great bike. I have it all moded out after watchin videos for 8 moand seeing all the pros and cons, So since I live in the mtns at 4500 i got a smart carb along with a pro circuit combo,vforce 4 reed, 9oz fww,avs levers, moose pedels and put protection all around andcwent to a 52t in the rear and upgrade the chian and a griper seat cover..DAM WEATHER. Great video!! Looks like i will not be outside for a week..no tv off grid for me..love the videos brother!!

I had the opportunity to ride a KTM 250 XC, XCW and yzX all in a row . They definitely all felt slightly different, but upon my return, my consensus was that the YzX was CAPITAL F-U-N !!!

Curious if you did any jetting changes. Sounds like is is sputtering down low which is not a big deal but doesn't sound clean down low. When it revs out it seems to clean out quick but that low end sputter would be something I would want to fix.

Trading in my 450fx soon. Thinking of the these two bikes or a 250xcf. Do you think the 250x is better overall? any issues?

I have been on KTM’s since 1992. This year I jumped ship to a 2022 YZ250X. Wow! Amazing bike in stock form. Over 2 grand cheaper out the door and the best stock suspension I’ve ever been on. Set the sag and go. I race HS and enduro in Indiana and my first 250 ever. I’ve had open class bikes and a couple of 200’s. This engine is very similar to a 300. Another plus is there are countless mods and upgrades that are readily available for this bike. And very little changes over the last few years. Couple of aftermarket rE starts available if that’s your thing. I do not miss the E start, but if I do I will put a Rekluse auto clutch in it. Love it can’t say enough about it. Blue is the new orange.

Great job on your review!

What hand guards are those?

I agree with your assessments from my experiences.

If i ever have a kid id rather a girl love the little one who likes more power what a great family .great kids .

Brenly has a nice ride

Awesome awesome job! Beautiful family!

I rode both bikes. The ktm feels cheap and slow 1st thru 3rd but then it wakes up. The yamaha just felt faster and more nimble so I bought the 2019 yz250x and put a 13 tooth on the front sprocket.

My name is Cole . I'm 16 and I drive an 2009 yamaha nytro xtx

My name is John and I'm 10 and I ride a 1999 Polaris 700

That's alot of estrogen right there

Great video, cool trails! YZ250s are fantastic bikes. I think the counterbalancer is a bigger deal for the 300 than the 250.

I just went the total opposite direction from you. I am selling my decked out woods YZ250, and just bought a Gas Gas. I am also 5'9", 165, and the YZ feels long. Really just physically large. I find that I am more confident in the nasty gnar on the Austrian bike. The brakes, clutch, and electric start bring it together for me. I do love the Yamaha engine and KYB fork. Happy trails.

Good vid didn't know I wanted this comparison. Noone else brings up the real differences that can't be seen.

Getting a new 250X this week as a Christmas present to myself 😁

I wish them guys would stop the bike and talk about it instead of trying to ride and you have to listen to him being all winded that seems to be the thing nowadays but I don't know why maybe I'm just old school

Thanks for the video. I'm looking for a bike to do the Willare enduro in Western Australia's Kimberley region. This bike could be it. I would be gearing it up as this race is about top speed with gnarly sections thrown in as in soft sand etc.

The at 81 tires sukk..I got a x .I use goldentyre

Also, is your 250x carbureted? What’s your jetting???

Keith! I ride Payson canyon all the time:) let’s ride! I just bought a 250x
