Nice bike. I have a 250X with a lectron carb and it really works well. A bonus is much improved fuel mileage. I would consider that upgrade. Enjoy your mountain bike race videos as well.
I pick mine up next week!! I put on the Pro Circuit system with a vforce4 reed. And am going to get a smart carb next month!! I put on all frame swinging armand brake protectors! Hand guard barkbuster type. It will be sick when i am done!! Insure miss your riding videos!! God Bless!
@@hunterduratti4629 it is working great it took a little bit for me to get it dailed in due to the westher..but love it..and i will have to do it again due to the fact i got a apex head for it and will have tp probably adjust it a little more but it is so easy to do that with the the SC2 shut it off open up the throttle and clockwise for richer counter clockwise for leaner.. pretty simple and easy..i do recommend getting one..!! Plus the look sweet!!
I just got my'23 two days ago. Since this one comes with a Keihin I'm thinking of adding a STIC metering block. How do you think it will compare with your Smartcarb?
@@numbzinger350 i am not sure! I started having some issues with my smart carb and now have to wait till spring to work on it some more!! I wish I would have waited a year to get the 23 with the new mapping set up and more!! I think I might have to send the SC back to the manufacturer to have them look at it!! So now i am thinking about the Lectron in blue!! Or put back on the old carb! But the factory wants me to look at a few things before I ship it back! I just can not find the sweet spot on the SC at all no matter what I do!! I also got a Apex head to put on it so in February it heads to the shop to get put on..let me know how your new 23 runs with that carb..
@@numbzinger350 I was talking with BeRad about the beltron and he has great luck with his!! What I have to ceck znd see is if tthe dealer cut out the trimed the airbox enough so it runs right!! They said they did but i have to check!!
Hi Noah! I have the same bike. I tested the Lectron and the Smart Carb on the bike and the Smart Carb is by far the better choice. Yes, they are a little more expensive but the bike runs insanely better. I'll never go back, they're worth the penny!! Also you don't have to take the top of the carb apart to tweak the settings, theres a knob on the top of the carb. Good luck!! Great riding!!
Hey man, I’m 6’2 210lbs with gear. I’m have a 250f for track but want a fun 2t ripper for mainly trails(woods and some climbs) but also be able to track it too. I’m a pretty decent C class rider. Should I go 125x or 250x?
Hey. How did you fix your chain guide !!!! And you have an awesome bike bud !!!! I prefer the 250 and up cause of the power. The main thing I put on my kx 500 was a 4gal Baja tank and a 1gal number plate tank. Never had to stop once which helped out big time. Just wish you could get some aftermarket stuff to speed it up a bit. Your doing great keep it up !!!!! WFO
I didn't hear anything about the top end. If you threw an upgrade for the top end you'd keep up. Watched you race and technically you ride better then most of the guys in your class. Maybe look into the 250x? Want to hear your opinion on that. How tall are you and your weight? There is a point you will grow and the 125 will only do so much for you. Awesome video!! I wish more people would do bikes like this. When someone new steps into the sport and does research these videos are extremely helpful!! Brappp on
Yeah I have been dabbling in with the apex head on this bike a little. I don't want to hop it up to where it's not reliable but would like to have some more guts to it
@@NoahClark32 I didn’t go to one race yet this year and already my family is trying to stop me because of a two year olds birthday. I am demanding the two year old goes with me instead, he will have a better time.
would u prefer the 125x or 250x for trail riding and motocross. what bike do u think would be a good all around for both. i’d say i’m an average track ride and above average trail rider
Don't recommend the lectron. Got one on my 125x and I'm gonna swap back to the mikuni. A dialed mikuni runs better, starts better, and the fitment on the lectron leaves a lot to be desired imo. Not worth the money unless your rides involve crazy elevation change, in which case it pays for itself while you kick back and watch your friends rejet their bikes haha.
Hey bro love your videos but im wanting to get in to racing gncc also were do i find the races at? I live in marion indiana and can any one just go race or do u have to like start on the 1st race then of u place a certain ppsition move on to another?
I tried a lectron on my YZ 125x and I hated it. It had a stutter right off idle. When you are on the pipe the bike rips but in slow crawling stuff it didn’t deliver. I spent hours trying to tune the carb with Lectrons help on the phone and I couldn’t get it to run how I wanted. I do want to try a smart carb though. After talking to smartcarb on the phone they have a little different design that they say works better with the small bore bike with picking up fuel off the bottom. I also had a Lectron on a ktm300xc and it ran well but. Still didn’t have the grunt off the bottom I wanted.
The 125 is so much fun and turns super good. The 250 is obviously faster and it can lug through tricky situations. Fridays video will be 125 vs 250 to explain everything!
@@NoahClark32 yeah I agree I always see the ktms,gasgas,and huskys pull on ya in the fields and uphills so would be nice if the yz's had a little more HP..
@@NoahClark32 makes sense for a 125 for sure haha. But I still can manually use the clutch, it just also works automatically as well. (I’m sure a rider of your caliber knows this/ has tried auto-clutches tho) But when racing/ riding motocross, I definitely don’t want it

Its the specialized turbo levo
Tm design makes a little bit more bulky chain guide but is pretty reliable

Nice bike brother. Cant wait to get back to the KS/MO terrain.
Thanks man👊🏽
Great video!

I live at 45 hundred feet and ride on a track at 700 feet so the smart carb is the only way to go for me!!

Remember, he is racing xc3 just getting his feet wet in the GNCC world with the pros. He has ridden many bikes.

Hey Noah when do you do your rebuilds like top and bottom
You can Jarvis Mod the carb like they did on the pro hard enduro bikes when they had carbs. Did it on my yz125x and it helped A lot
what is the jarvis mod?
@@didickcheeseburger they did it to graham jarvis’s bike when they had the mikuni carbs
@@dawsondavis189 im asking what the mods they did to the carb were
Are you going to Ironman? I’m gonna head over there to spectate. Hope to see you.
I'll be there! See ya there

Thanks for the info!
What situations do you prefer the 125 or the 250? Is one more fun to ride than the other ? If you weren’t racing xc3 would you even own a 125?
I’m not Noah but from my experience 125 are so much fun to ride. 250s are too but you can’t beat a 125
The 125 is so much fun and turns super good. The 250 is obviously faster and it can lug through tricky situations. Fridays video will be 125 vs 250 to explain everything!
Video recommendation “How I prepare for an xc race”
I like it!
hey bud, FYI, the afiliate amazon links are not working,
In parts list you never mentioned JDP doing suspension.
I'd be scared of loosing some bottom end power with the Lectron.
I have also broken the Acerbis chain guide.
Did you cut the head?
I didn't notice any less bottom end going from the preferred Keihin with JD kit to the Lectron.
Lectron is electric like
Sorry... I forgot to mention I have a KTM 150
Why do you run the fast flex bars now instead of the mako 360?
Are running an Apex xc cylinder head, looks shiny?
Well maybe you'll like the 2022 yz since it got some updates
It looks sweet! I like this bike, just a couple small things could make it amazing
@@NoahClark32 yeah I agree I always see the ktms,gasgas,and huskys pull on ya in the fields and uphills so would be nice if the yz's had a little more HP..
The 22 is a little different seat wise!!
🤘🏻
Why no automatic clutch??? It's 2021 i dont understand why people don't have them lol
The clutch can help so much. Using the clutch to help the bike do what you want it to do is the way to go.
@@NoahClark32 makes sense for a 125 for sure haha. But I still can manually use the clutch, it just also works automatically as well. (I’m sure a rider of your caliber knows this/ has tried auto-clutches tho)
But when racing/ riding motocross, I definitely don’t want it
what case saver is that?
what brand tank
have you tried the beta 125?
I haven't
What 2 smoke oil are you running?

@@NoahClark32 thanks
Best money I've spent on my small bore 2T's is the Lectron carbies. They're the ducks nuts mate.
Thanks for the input!
