Today I got the chance to ride my buddy's brand new 2024 Yamaha YZ250X around a trail we've been working on building. I was able to build a bit of a first impression of the bike, take a look at it's specs and compare it to other dirt bikes I've ridden in the past.
If you're thinking of purchasing the YZ250X, definitely give this video a watch so you can get a better idea if this bike is right for you.

What do you want to see next from the 2024 Yamaha YZ250X?
Reply to this comment with your burning questions or suggestions and I'll make a video on it in the future!
I have a chance to buy a 2024 yz250x.. I haven’t rode a dirt bike in years do you think this bike will be to much for basically a beginner? Also I’ll just be trail riding and woods
@@trentrideout4713 good question! Firstly the 250x is set up primarily for trail riding and woods so you'd be on the perfect bike as far as that goes.
As for being a beginner (or not having ridden in years) I think that although its a 250cc two stroke, the 250x has very approachable, easy delivering power. It doesn't feel like its going to rip out of your arms like the yz250 mx bike does.
That being said, it still has plenty of "get up and go" so it's a bike that you won't get tired of and probably won't ever grow out of.
I think its totally doable as a beginner bike to learn on I'd just caution you to find a super big wide open area like a large field or something of that nature so you can really get comfortable with all the controls and things and not have to worry about hitting any obstacles.
Be safe out there and have fun rippin! I think you'll love it. Definitely reply back and let me know what you think if you buy it!
The purpose of the 18" rear wheel is to allow for a taller side wall tire, which helps prevent pinch flats
ahhh interesting! never knew that
@notsoupmoto Yep! Great video, by the way!
thanks! appreciate you watching :)

Less pinch flats are a added bonus ..the main reason the 18 has a higher sidewall which in turn flattens out giving u alot more surface area on the ground when you juice the throttle..and when u go over a log or rock/s or roots... giving
Much you alot more traction
I love my 2021 yz250x i stiffened up the suspension a little and i love it perfect bike for tracks and woods and hills i love it.
great to hear! yeah i bet some suspension work would really be able to tune it to exactly what type of riding you like
Super interesting video! Your friend seems like a fun guy.
thanks ricky bob joseph
I have the 2020, it's great in everything I've ridden so far, 13 50 sprockets, races a 24 tx300 recently neck and neck until he shifted into 6th... left me behind. his weighs 245 lb wet.mine 243 wet with skid plate and lights frame guards and bar guards.. cheers!
the battle of the century lol. That husky would be a cool bike to test as well 👀
@@notsoupmoto if only yamaha would add a gear..
Well the Austrian XC 300 bikes (TBI) are getting 57hp versus yz250 at probably 45hp, I've heard 50hp near best case. Plus 14/50 gearing is stock so that would make top end speed difference. Try again with 14/50, and Apex head with SX dome. May be closer.
my yzx is unusable in single track around here with a 14 front, that's why I went to 13, yamaha really needs a 6 speed with a lower first, start would be great too but there's 2 options for aftermarket start.@@jpconard
I’m picking mine up on Saturday
awesome! enjoy, and thx for the comment
🤘🤘
How is the stock jetting with the 2024 250x? I have read a lot of comments about the stock jetting being rich on this models.
At the time of the video being filmed the bike was still in its break in period. Haven't heard anything from my buddy about it running rich yet
@@notsoupmoto Thanks man
no problem!

I wanna get me one this summer. This is the bike i want. How hard are they to find at dealerships
didnt have any trouble near me. most yam dealers should have them
First please pardon my arrogance but here’s my current situation. I’m in my mid forties. 5’10 and around 200ish pounds. I’ve been riding a 07 CBR600RR for the past 4 years. I understand clutch and throttle control but haven’t ridden dirt bikes since I was a teenager. I’m finding myself getting bored with riding streets and having friends who trail ride, I find myself wanting a dirt bike. Is the YZ250X a good idea for me? I don’t do wheelies and haven’t even really practiced riding wheelies. Just don’t want a bike that is going to be intimidating. What are your thoughts?
cross country bikes like the 250x and others in its class are definitely a more "beginner friendly" option when compared to their motocross counterparts due to their power delivery. so yes I don't think it would be a bad choice in your situation. if possible though, see if your friends who trail ride would allow you to test ride some of their bikes. that's the best way to know if a bike is right for you! thx for the comment!
Thinking about grabbing one after being a KTM guy..
niceee how u like that ktm 500?
@@notsoupmoto ive had 4 500s! great bikes but wear me out fast offroad.. main reason I want to switch back to a 2T.
heard that haha. I subscribed to you. definitely post a video if you end up getting the 2 banger
I WONDER IF YOU COULD GET A LITE SET UP??
you mean suspension for a lighter rider? yeah you definitely can.
Nice bike, I am in between a Yamaha 250x or 125x. Probably
going with the 250x
I love my yz125 mx bike. Haven't rode the 125x. would be interesting to test the differences for sure.
I am 5’9”…..do you think the 250x is going to be comfortable for my height? I think the 125x is the same height.
I'm pretty sure my buddy is close to your height and he's comfortable on it. and yeah according to yamaha, the 125x is 2 tenths of an inch shorter so basically the same height haha
Looks good thanks for the input
no problem!@@ryansath3293
Bro im struggling between this and a 450 fx
tough decision...
Get the yz250x you won't be disappointed one bit
I’m thinking this same thing. I decided 2 stroke, because it’s so much cheaper and easier to work on and fix it. 4 Strokes are expensive and much more complex in design. Not to mention these 2 strokes last a long long time! I’m even considering a YZ125X. I’m 33Y/O and 230 pounds too. Either option would be great.
@@videocardzrule354 so true. all reasons i'd pick the 2 stroke as well
If the yama had estart, was a 300, had better turn in, I'd buy it.
estart would be nice for sure
Love mine 1 kick every time and it lugs like crazy even in the rocks I never stall it. KTM friends wish they had one...
