    I have a 2013 KX250F, it’s the love of my life, I only have the white coupler and black coupler, I heard that leaving it unplugged will default to the green one, at least someone said that about the 2021, if it’s the same on the 2013 then green feels way slower than the other 2, the black one feels most aggressive to me

    • @DerekHallman
      @DerekHallman  Год назад

      The black one is the smoothest and least aggressive, the green is the 'standard' mapping, and the white one is the most aggressive hit mapping. The white one is good for deep soil but I prefer the green one overall.

    • @DerekHallman
      @DerekHallman  Год назад

      Feathering the clutch means pulling the clutch in enough to disengage it while simultaneously revving the throttle to bring the engine rpms up without fully spinning the wheel. It keeps the rpms high so you don't need to shift down a gear for a corner.

My KX is a 2021 and my YZ is a 2022. Nowadays they are drastically different. The engine on the Yamaha is even backwards in the frame compared to every other brand. Instead of the air filter being behind you under the seat, the intake is in front of you on top of the bike, the spot where other brands have gas caps.
