  • Round #1 of the 2019 NYOA championship series was a mudder. This was my first harescramble on my new bike - the 2019 YZ250F. I wanted to see how the stock suspension handled - and it felt great!

    Hey men, great job running that 2F around. I do the same thing as you but here in Quebec it's called cross-country (don't ask me why). I ran a yz250 last year and this year a yz250FX, so jumping from 2stroke to 4stroke and the ''enduro'' version. Did my first practice yesterday and men it's a dam good machine. So much traction everywhere, less arm pump and that E start as well saves so much energy. Since im always in 2-3 and sometimes 4th gear i don't feel like the 6 gear is very usefull during the race, but the ratio of the bike is on point. I love that high second and low third gear the switch between the both of them is smooth, very usefull when you are in roots and rocks. I will definetly check your videos again! Ride safe, or not.... (Pardon my english)

    Good job Zach!
    Been watching your videos for a while and it's always entertaining. Cool that you are on the 250f. I've been into the two strokes since last summer, previously owning a 525 MXC. At 58 that was too much for me on technical stuff so went to a 300 rr Beta. Loved that so much just picked up the 200rr this week.
    All that said I just sold a 2008 XCF-W 250 that I had as a loaner bike ( funds for the 200!) That 250 was kind of shocking as to how hard it pulled, very surprising. Imagine the 2019 is that much better!
    If you get a chance to try the 200rr Beta it is a kick! Frame, size and weight of a 125 with a torquey 200!!
    I'm no longer 58!

    FMF pipes from my experience made my yz250f deeper in sound instead of high pitch. I personally love the FMF pipes because of the deep grumble they make

    • @minnionator
      @minnionator 5 лет назад +1

      definitely. They may not produce as much peak HP as some other "race" brands, but they are a great compromise between power and sound levels. Usually a real nice deep bark. Something most 250s miss.

    • @alexlw216
      @alexlw216 3 года назад +1

      @@Screamer because these bikes are annoyingly loud. Restricting them doesn't create a safety hazard, especially since its a spark arrestor. If anything it is more safe. The 4.1 also has a throated sound so it is easier to listen to for me. The stock pipe is really good but sounds like garbage

    Tires were the best mod I made, period dot, on my 250f.

  • @theprices417
    @theprices417 5 лет назад +1

    Great to see you enjoying a four stroke. From my experience you will probably need to ring its neck a little more as the 250 needs to be in its sweet spot to give you what you need. Also try raising the forks up 4mm to see if that helps in the tight stuff. The only disadvantage of the F over the FX is gearing. F gearing will be a little high in the gnarly sections. You can go go up 2 teeth on the rear which helps a lot but you will lose top speed. Enjoy the Yamaha. Great bike. I went from a 450F to a 450FX and i'm glad I did.

    Bob "Hurricane" Hannah in a pinch raced a box stock YZ 250 ... right out of a crate from a dealership. They added fluids, set the rear sag at 4"... and Bob ran it!With NO after- market go-fast parts... against high dollar one-off works bikes,custom tailored to each rider,with countless weeks of testing and setup. Bob kicked ASS! Too many riders today think that they can only win on whatever happens to be the HOTSHIT bike of the moment.

  • @daltonseals4248
    @daltonseals4248 5 лет назад +1

    12:45 the fmf is a bit quieter. A full system (header and slip on) makes a huge difference in power, and the power is still very usable and not uncontrollable. If it’s hard to make yourself purchase the full system with it being so expensive, the slip on still makes a noticeable difference.

    Zach I am in the market for this exact bike former AA enduro. What were your complete thoughts on the bike besides being loud as hell. Did you like the traction and handling or was it a pig compared to your 2 stroke. Really could use your honest input. I had a 14' with no estart and it was super loud. Motor was awesome, stalling was a problem and the front end feel was light. I was more curious how it was in the tighter sections if you thought you were much faster on the 2 stroke. Thanks!!!
