I've had my xt 250 for about 10 years and it's still reliable as ever ... absolutely love this bike and your mods are awesome man ha e me some great ideas
LOL....That's what it looks like with the upgrades... I couldn't have figured that out...but, thanks...I like the exhaust and the pegs....looks great...!!
I sincerely doubt you dropped 12 lbs of weight with the FMF muffler as the stock one only weights that much. So the FMF weighs nothing ? I've never seen a documented hp or power gain with any of the muffler changes either if that is what folks are expecting. Ditto for the K&N as a massive change. Folks are free to add what they want, I just want them to get some benefit for their money unless it's a feel good type accessory. Most of the other mods are quite useful however like the skid plate, light bulb, protective brake cover and wide pegs. The tires will be an improvement as well.
Hi from Australia, I changed bikes a year ago from a BMW1150GS to my tiny XT250 & hate its guts. My XT500 a hundred years ago was my inspiration to buy this modern Yami & i hate it ! Hopefully your video showing some noise & power mods have stopped me throwing it off my shoulder into the sea next weekend.
I talked my misso into getting one because she found my WR too tall and yeah... it's a shit little piglet that sounds like a sewing machine. Wouldn't rip the skin off a rice pudding.
Tom Mannix ha ha that’s funny! I bought an XT 250 and yes it is a gutless wonder. I wanted a WR but that was like climbing on the back of a camel without a ladder. I’m 70 years old and still like to ride.
Hi Todd, love your bike. I’m currently shopping for a dual sport. I was wondering if there is plenty of room to fit a good sized knobby under the little front fender? Appreciate anyone’s feedback. Thank you
Hey im sure you possibly could. As there was lots of clearance. Unfortunately I no longer have this bike, or any bike for that matter. I got seriously injured in a workplace accident so I am unable to ride. Hopefully again one day I will be able to get another bike though. I do miss this bike. She was a lot of fun.
You simply remove the smaller fender or raise it . I would raise it.. The smaller fender keeps a lot of mud off the engine's fins which are responsible for cooling the bike...
Steve Li thanks bud! They are cycra ultra pro bend. Expensive but worth every cent. Also have asv unbreakable stubby levers forgot to show in video. Will do another video soon have done a few more upgrades since
Hi there! I like the footpegs, and I checked on a suppliers website: none offered for the XT250. So I guess you found one that’s compatible? Which model?
Zeemofree not yet, but I do plan to install one next year when I'm healed up enough to ride again. Shoulder surgery. It's not necessary to install with the fmf, but I plan on doing some engine mods down the road so it's a good call to install a PC.
TexasRider90 *Beefy* hey bud! Used eBay for a lot of my mods. And also www.motosport.com I will be doing another video shortly as I have done a few more upgrades I want to share with you all! Stay Tuned!!!
BaronBoar my rear fender is just fine. You have to remember that this bike is only 249cc. So it's really not built for steady highway riding. That's my guess anyways. I don't ride on Highway. Back roads. Main roads etc. And trails. My cruising speed is usually anywhere between 60-90km/h. I have taken a lot of weight off the bike and I've had it up to 136km/h. But then again it didn't like it. Ride it like it's meant to be ridden it's not a 2 stroke full out dirt bike. It's an adventure bike dual sport. Just have fun. I have no problems with melting fenders. Hope this helps!!
I bought my XT250 used (340 mi.) last summer. It came with the FMF muffler. It's loud and melted my fender after a long day, part of which was at fairly high highway speed. Not ideal conditions for this bike, but sometimes you have to "ride what you brung! I wish it had come with the stock muffler.
The fenders are melting because with the fuel injected xt's, you have to install a fuel programmer when you get an fmf. They run really lean when you slap an fmf on. You also have to install the spacer they send you
Nope. But I sold the bike a few months ago unfortunately...got hurt on the job few years ago and havent been able to ride. So it breaks my heart but at least it's being used. Whichbis better than collecting dust in my garage.
Keshab Ghatane through works connection website. Very simple install. Wrap red wire around spark plug cable and run black wire up underneath panels and bolt into place on top bolt for fuel tank. Order the mounting kit also.

I’m sorry to hear that Bro. Hope you recover quickly. Thank you very much for your your video. Very helpful.
Great video :-)

Get going on some suspension upgrades buddy. Keep us updated. Good work!
Garry Butt thanks man! I've been trying to find some info for suspension upgrades. The rear end definitely needs to be tightened up!
Put a few washers on the fmf or itll melt your plastics

That's an interesting swap.. Not sure many folks would so the same.
Do you happen to have link for the footpads? also do you just buy the pegs or some adapter as well?>

Dude had corona before corona was a thing.
What model is the Cycra handguards? They look great on the bike!!
Steve Li thanks bud! They are cycra ultra pro bend. Expensive but worth every cent. Also have asv unbreakable stubby levers forgot to show in video. Will do another video soon have done a few more upgrades since
Sounds good. Thank!!
Hi Todd,
Where did you get that case armor?... as well as the OEM yamaha skid plate? I can't seem to find a website to purchase.

Simon Legault check out Motosport.com and enter you’re year of xt250. It should come up. They do sell out fast!! Keep checking back
How didn’t u burn ur back render
Hey buddy did you add the Power Commander to control the fuel delivery?
Zeemofree not yet, but I do plan to install one next year when I'm healed up enough to ride again. Shoulder surgery. It's not necessary to install with the fmf, but I plan on doing some engine mods down the road so it's a good call to install a PC.
hey could you please tell me what websites did you use to get all the mods?

Todd Marten I saw one guys video showing how the fmf muffler melted his fender. How is your fender holding up?

Todd Marten Thanks. That's what I figured too. I will probably look into getting one of those too for my XT. Shave some more weight off.
BaronBoar do it man!! The stock exhaust is so heavy and the FMF is around 3 pounds. Also lose the passenger footpegs. That's a lot of weight.

Can you comment more about the muffler? Was there a noticeable increase in power?
Yes I noticed quite an increase in power. I have since sold this bike. I sure do miss it though.
Got the link for that engine case guard?
I can't remember dude sorry. Think if was off Yamaha directly, maybe ebay
Did the FMF muffler burn a hole in your rear fender yet?
Nope. But I sold the bike a few months ago unfortunately...got hurt on the job few years ago and havent been able to ride. So it breaks my heart but at least it's being used. Whichbis better than collecting dust in my garage.
I saw someone who's fender got melted by an FMF did you have this issue?
I had that problem.
Do you guys have the California model xt250? I have a feeling it has something to do with the carbon filter
Rip the t63s
where did you get the tachometer? easy install?
Keshab Ghatane through works connection website. Very simple install. Wrap red wire around spark plug cable and run black wire up underneath panels and bolt into place on top bolt for fuel tank. Order the mounting kit also.
@@toddmarten1364 I bought one, looks same but no mounting kit. Exactly what does the mounting kit consist of ?
He starts it I'm like do the rev do the rev and no rev
Sorry!
Not gonna be rude or anything but you kind of ruined the bike with all those stickers
DEADHEAD_HUNTER that's your opinion and you're entitled to it
DEADHEAD_HUNTER ive actually removed most of them recently.
