I just bought a 2018 YZ250x to ride with my 13 yr old as he learns basics trail riding. I've ran CR500 steelies and Aluminium framed chassis for past 25 years. IMO and riding style, I'd trade the YZ for another steelie CR500 in a heartbeat. The YZ does whats its supposed to do well, its a beauty of a bike, but the torque and overpowerment of those CR5's and the steel frame comfort for fire-roads & basic trail I guess I'm just used to that. No such thing as too much power! Cheers!
Since ya based that 2017 duel exhaust cr500 engine off the trx450 4stroke so it would bolt right n im guessing that motor will also fit the trx450r 4 wheeler frame since ya said the motor mounts was all the same
Thats exactly what im gonna do with mine just as soon as i can find one of these cr500 engine thinking im gonna want a newer cr500 motor for mine since they prolly got fuel injection on them
Ralli4Mitsubaru run leds and wire up a simple harness to a battery in the air box or between the forks. It won’t run forever but a decent battery will give you hours of light
yeah you're right, went back and watched the vid again the tone is crisper like a 250 but speed wise the bike is faster then any 250 i've ever seen. i've also been watching some of the newer vids where guys are taking old CR500's and running them against the newer 450's and in those vids the CR500's sound more like 250's then any 500 i remember but then again i was mostly around torque monsters like the Maico's and actually watching the video again he's riding it more like it's a 125 but it is fast................
I like how the manufacturers are trying to pin 2 strokes into a corner as a "trail bike" rather then a race bike. Truth is, 2 strokes are every bit as powerful and more so, then the 4-stroke version. Problem is, takes more skill to ride a 2-stroke...by far.
Truth BeTold yep sad truth is, the consumer killed the 2 stroke not the manufacturers. Sales equal production, And in 1998 the yz400 came out and everybody jumped on the band wagon because they were easy to ride and they were the latest and greatest. How many vet guys and beginners at the tracks now day do we see jumping shit they shouldn’t be because they have easy horsepower to ride. Put them on a 125 or 250 and they wouldn’t be getting over any of that stuff. But the new bikes are magic and there’s no denying it. Hard to pass up a good running yz250 though!
david hilton don’t worry David some of still have their 16 year old cr250 screaming past the new 4 strokes on the tracks and the trails ( I do have a 2014 crf450 to though but that pretty much see’s the dunes and maybe once and while the desert ) but I would sell the 450 the moment somebody offered me enough without thinking twice but I will never sell the 250 that bike is being buried with me in my opinion it’s the best bike ever made
Pat Shore more specifically they’re tuned for harescrambles/gncc closed course racing. This isn’t marketed as your average trail cruiser, although slap a spark arrestor on it and it’s the best bike for any kind of riding. Motor even runs better on a track then the regular yz250 some will tell you.
I just wish that honda would make just these engines that fit the 2004 and 2005 models so that the cr500 engine would fit the trx450 frame and call it a trx500r
All the boost except KTM didn't win offroad two stroke of the year.. look into Sherco, Beta and Gasgas. All as good or better than the orange koolaide.
Nice! No music. Just awesome riding and two stroke sounds.
Kyle Riley Agreed!
He was pinning the s*** out of that two stroke! It takes guts to accelerate in those curves like he does... He sure makes it look easy.
Lost it at 4:00, but they edited that out. LOL
@@puntacanaman1 Same at 4:49.
In the 80's and 90's, Faster C-class riders could ride like that on any track that easy.
But he is pretty fast today. :)
5:15 Blew that corner too.
Thank you for a great video with minimal music, voice over and maximum 2T music😍
3:24 reminds me of that “He didn’t touch the Highway, You were on the Highway” video haha
Lol I was thinking the same thing.
I enjoyed this video a lot. This bike sounds and performs g'rrreat. Wonderful rider. Legendary 2 stroke.
Making that Two Stroke sing!!! I would suspect he places well in the standings.

Nothing better than a fine tuned 2stroke
This bike sounds so damn clean! ✊
1:32 the clamp holding the fuel line to the carb isn’t on lol
That was amazing mostly because it had the braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap to it

what a weapon , looks and sounds sweet!!
How could you dislike this video?? That sound is porn in my ears! Awesome build guys!

The pro circuit 304 silencer is underrated. Much better sounding than the r304
That dude is balls out!
Next time you should take a Tm Racing 250
Dumb A$$ comment! Like 17 TMs in the world....
James Cox i said that it should be a TM 250
And I said dont waste anyone's time doing anything TM
He's on the gosh darn gas!
Golly gee willikers!
Cool video. I wish you luck against the 450's -- you're gonna need it.
motorambler One thing’s for sure; he’ll sound a heck of a lot better!
2 stroke will smoke any 450
250s are classed as light wt. 450s heavy wt.
That's such a clean bike
When is Yamaha gonna give the YZ250x enduro lighting?
Ralli4Mitsubaru fuck that
Ralli4Mitsubaru run leds and wire up a simple harness to a battery in the air box or between the forks. It won’t run forever but a decent battery will give you hours of light
This bike and/ or Rider Rips!!
Does pro circuit make pipe for the x bike or is it for regular yz..i want more top end like stock pipe ..not low like i on the gnarly
sounds sooooo goood!
I like that front finder did just bolt right up or did you have to drill holes l been wanting to get one for my wr 450f that's a 04 model..
What pipe is that? Sounds crispy!
that bike fly's, it runs and even sounds more like a 500 then a 250....
Quadflopper101 no way... That's definitely a very crisp 250. How many 500's have you heard be ing run like that??

Well, can't say it doesn't rip around some dirt roads. Wonder how it handles some real trails ? Hopefully he takes on last dog with it.

Ummm, actually this very bike is imported as a closed course race vehicle, exactly like the standard YZ125, YZ250, YZ250F, and YZ450F.
The x models are trail bikes though???

I love honda but this maybe the best bike you have had on the channel?
Killing it
We did this and this … and we did that and this and this …. braaaaaa braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!! 😀
Can't beat a 2st on song 😁👍
Barney Betelgeuse I see we listen to the same music. Braapp!
I just wish that honda would make just these engines that fit the 2004 and 2005 models so that the cr500 engine would fit the trx450 frame and call it a trx500r
That thangs pretty
Very nice bike I'm sure sure but WOW that's some easy terrain. How about bring a bike east and run a GNCC.
Dude, don't make us east coast guys seem like tools.
Excelent, Excelente, ممتازة, Skvělé, Tuyệt vời
Intro makes me think of crusty demons of dirt 3 Arial assault
Wow nice
What kind of fourwheeler
Needs a e-start.
not with a rekluse
Whats model pipes for exhaust?
Why does it have a yellow number plate if it's a 250?
Scot Miller class designation... A, B, C, etc....
You stay until the pro-circuit music is over.
2 stroke!
You guys need some rain!
Your lower fuel line clip is on at an angle...
Why modify a bar pad you have now made useless?
How do you get to race there do you have to be a AMA pro or can anyone race that race...
just needs a button now
Fucking sick
请问yz250x机油多少比例
I guess it does not make sense anymore,------------------that if you can drive a 2 wheel drive family car around it, it is not an off road course.
I love you
So much for no nut November
If you are buying a 2 stroke in 2018 the KTM is the only option, Shits all over the Yamaha.
All the boost except KTM didn't win offroad two stroke of the year.. look into Sherco, Beta and Gasgas. All as good or better than the orange koolaide.
The only thing that's close is that the YZ has good suspension. It ends there.
Bryce Green ever heard of a counter balancer?
