  • I went up the road to 1st round of the D4 Enduro Series for the Arcadia Bark Busters Sprint Enduro. I took the YZ250F so I could get some seat time on it, and it was great! What a fun ride!

    Dude, you are a class act. You are exponentially faster on the Yamaha, and this video personally I think is your best yet; the commentary, the edit, the China stuff (freakin hilarious), etc. The majority of that course looked like you were riding on Black Forest Chocolate Cake, absolutely awesome! I dont imagine you run any vintage stuff yet, but hopefully I get to meet you and shake your hand on the trail one day. Great stuff!

    You should try to move your handle bars to the front holes..I did it to my fx and felt like it gave me much more control,,so much I kick myself for not moving them up sooner..great videos, thanks for sharing.😎👍

  • @theprices417
    @theprices417 5 лет назад +3

    The question you should be answering yourself is what are you happier on. You seem to be better suited to the Yamaha. Try changing your fork height up in the clamps to around 5mm approx. This will help with the heavy feel in the front. Two teeth less on the back sprocket will give you better top end speed while sacrificing lower speed gearing in the tight stuff.

  • @johnchafin3817
    @johnchafin3817 5 лет назад +5

    As many state you are certainly faster on the YZ. The bike puts down loads of usable power and it doesn't do anything unexpected. Get the front forks dialed in and it will be your go to bike for pretty much everything. Chances are you need softer springs for the forks and a revalve. The engine on that bike is very powerful and very tuneable with that new app. Can't wait to see you ride a HS with this bike.

    @RickettsRacing 5 лет назад +2

    If you cut down your bars don't go any more than 1/4 off each side at a time and don't go more than 3/4 inch total. Find a sweet spot for you. The shorter you go, the less you'll be able to manage kicks to the front end. I ALWAYS run my steering bearings on the tight side. If you don't like the though of that, you may want to look into a stabilizer. I will say you seem way faster on the 250f, I'm the same way on my 350.

    Zach, the 4 strokes have better "luggability" than the 2 strokes. You just have the MX version with a lighter fly wheel. The 250FX and WR250F versions have heavier fly-wheels and so are better at low RPM than the 250F

    I cut my ktm bars down for motocross. They came at 811mm and it felt very wide. I cut 2.5mm off each end and it was a huge improvement in handling feel. I’m pretty sure the Yamaha bars already come stock in that 802-806mm range so I personally wouldn’t cut them but it’s up to you.
