@ 15:30 it's the dongle for powervalve calibration. In the airbox besides the diode and resistor is the other end. Plug it in de switches and display light up. Hold the throttle wide open for 3 seconds. You will hear the PV open and closes. If you look thrue the exhaust port de slide and cheeks have to go all the way up and in. Without going down or out a bit after the calibration cycle.
Morgan, thank you for sharing all of this with viewers. You'd get through all these steps and get riding sooner without this significant additional effort. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
The more I watch the more I like my carbed '17 250XC. It was hard jetting it out there with the elevation but I bet the next time I get it right! Good video though and my hat's off to you for the effort!
Im curious About the main bearings. do they use two ball bearings, or balls on right side and rollers on the left as the austrians? So much easier install with a roller bearing on one side.. i think you have to split the cases and see how it looks inside.. 😅 awesome video series! 💪 im watching in sweden, haven’t seen one of those bikes here yet! Also interested in the fantic 310 fourstroke, looks like a cool bike
My yz250x power valve vent drips oil on driveway. Where my ktm150xcw was vented differently and did not drip. Why did you not leave the vent to the airbox?
Yikes! Engine looks like it’s in an intensive care unit. I think I’ll stick with my carbureted Beta 300 thanks. Looks like some kind of catalytic converter in the head pipe? A charcoal canister on a two stroke?! Now I’ve seen everything. EU emissions regulations I guess. Definitely looking forward to the ride review.
I’m curious if fantic actual lubes the neck stem and swing arm like they are supposed to be and not very light grease like these other manufacturers come??? Great videos I’ve been wanting one for awhile can’t wait to watch more content on it
I don’t see the join it’s got thanks remix clips and a few others but I don t see the join I’ll keep looking cause yeah like to be a member for sure been watching you for years love all your vids look forward to them after work and on the weekends
@@jeffreyjamesmohr6836 its literally just a loop hole to avoid dealing with euro emissions regs. all bikes sold over here come with these. They are not designed to be used whatsoever.
I think this bike is not the bike for someone who doesn’t like working on bike or doesn’t know much about bikes. I’m surprised how much you have to do to it before it’s ready to ride
Yamaha/fantic, Hyundai/Kia, Toyota/Lexus nothing surprises me anymore your getting interchange parts only difference order from Hyundai or Lexus you will pay more for the same part number that’s interchangeable to Kia or Toyota.
That bike looks like a nightmare to work on and waaay too much stuff to go wrong. I hope yamaha never changes anything about the yz250 its perfect the way it is. I don't want oil injection, fuel injection, fuel pumps, batteries, electric power valves. 👎
@@onthethrottle7104might be good. Maybe just a lithium rechargeable battery and not larger stator. Could always take a small jump pack. You'd get more starts than a days worth riding. Keep kicker as backup
Won’t speak on this fantec. However, The ktm “TPI not TBI” bikes are super easy to work on and very reliable. I’ve got little mechanical experience n doing top end was simple. @100 hours. never failed me once.
Enjoying this series not that I know about this bike but it's simply entertaining value ❤

Awesome!! Thanks so much

I'm excited about this bike and I can't even touch it, Morgan you must be like a kid on Christmas morning.
You are encouraging more and more to order them
Will Yamaha get the hint that we want this in the US???? Awesome vids.
Bet the guys in Europe were loving you for throwing all that venting shit to the curb 😂
Hahahah yep
Rubber blinkers are underated! Cheers!
#dildoblinkers
Soooo underated!! Lol!
Right on time 🤙🏼
Yep, just finished editing.
The more I watch the more I like my carbed '17 250XC. It was hard jetting it out there with the elevation but I bet the next time I get it right! Good video though and my hat's off to you for the effort!
I was thinking same thing
Looks good 🤙

Don’t know on the bearings but I’ll see if the manual shows

Bike looking good👍
Thanks 👍
The map switch looked like the Athena GET switch. Does the bike come stock with a programmable Athena GET ECU?
I think so. They say the ignition is Athena

I’ll be going into that but I can see grease on the swing arm pivot. So that’s a good sign
@@highlandcyclesI think that strap you pulled out of the package when you were looking for the o rings is a battery strap
@ yep. Th
The shape of the pipe reminds me of a beta xtrainer, does it have much for top end?
If that's from the same STM Clutch company it's pretty high end stuff.
Nice
@@highlandcycles Slight Clarification in case it matters: STM Italy not STM Powersports hahaha
Now I want to see the Fantic 300 4T....
Me too. Might have to do something
@@highlandcycles I do know that the cylinders for these bikes are made by Athena and the ECU I think are all GET.
8:37 I guess I missed what this thing was? Anyone?
That’s an evap can for emissions
my local dealer sells fantics but i live in the uk
Same triple clamp as the Yz? or it has a different offset?
Same
Why didn't you leave on the street legal stuff,can you plate it in Colorado?
I can. I don’t need that stuff. Just headlight, taillight, brake light, horn and mirror.
I wonder where Morgan got that bike. I tried getting a xef rally and no one could order me one.
Watch my video about that. It’s literally titled “How do you buy a Fantic in the US”
He has a video going into it.
I tried the email in the discrption. I didn't work for me
@@paulmumford9386 I fixed that I think. If not, shoot me an email at morgan@highland-cycles.com
Nice to see an alternative to KTM on the market. But its still no KTM.
You should ride that thing with that choked air cleaner cage and pipe, prolly would be crazy
I want to see this as well!
I want to see that too. A comparison of how much better it gets with the real pipe.
Holy crap the weight difference is all copper.
How do I become a member I was one of the first subscribers how I become a member been watching you for years now
Should be a “join” button somewhere on screen
I don’t see the join it’s got thanks remix clips and a few others but I don t see the join I’ll keep looking cause yeah like to be a member for sure been watching you for years love all your vids look forward to them after work and on the weekends
@ hmmmm. Might be your region. Where are you?
What is with that tiny pipe?
Euro street legal crap
To make you spend more bucks on a bigger one and also other after market add ons and to make it sell at a competitive sales tag
@@highlandcycles might be nice power curve for hard enduro once you get the baffle out of there. worth a test anyway.
@ it came with the bigger pipe.
@@jeffreyjamesmohr6836 its literally just a loop hole to avoid dealing with euro emissions regs. all bikes sold over here come with these. They are not designed to be used whatsoever.
Im not a sponsored rider so i'll stick with a steel frame bike.😆
Is it street legal
Yes
I'll take mine with a carb please lol
Stock pipe looks like a trials pipe.
I know
STM works great on Ducati,s
Italian electrics....scary.
Totally

100%. I’m just excited to see good parts in this bike
The position of the slave cylinder is a bit worrisome!
Yeah. I am worried about that as well
I’m sure someone makes a cover.
@@sarahdell4042 Yeah, but why place a component in a silly place that necessitates one more part (e.g., cover)?
It’s a shame that it’s not six speed.
Yeah kinda. Only a bummer if you plan on doing a bunch of road miles. Otherwise, just gear it to what you like and have fun.
That pipe is odd
a 300cc machine tuned to be a 125 😂
Got dizzy and sore eyes with the camera constantly speeding all over the place.
Like the little rad fan.
KTM's now up to $3,000 off list price!
I’ll work on the camera. I’m a one man show so it’s tough.
I hope Yamaha keeps the carb and just makes a 300 with electric and kick start.
That bike looks like a nightmare to work on and waaay too much stuff to go wrong. I hope yamaha never changes anything about the yz250 its perfect the way it is. I don't want oil injection, fuel injection, fuel pumps, batteries, electric power valves. 👎
I would like to see them keep that and make something more modern too.
Great point but how about just adding a battery and an e starter but yeah, no fuel injection, no oil injection or e power valves.
