Not bad riding, but I have some old school 2-stroke tips for you that is becoming lost 2-stroke talent.
You are going down the straight on the gas with a corner coming up where you have to downshift: (berms mostly)
1) Of course, hold the throttle open until you have to brake for the corner at the last second. The brake with both brakes, do not pull in the clutch, and downshift one gear at a time so you can hear the rpms your engine is at. (you also get more back braking power).
2) Select a gear that you may think is one gear to high for your final shift before getting back on the gas. Normally, with not much clutch slipping and just throttle for the exit, it would be a gear too high. (I won't go into body position in and out of the corner, but your head should be over the bars when you get on the gas.)
3) Now, even if you are not ready to hammer the power, pull in the clutch, rev it high, and slip the clutch coming out of the corner so it does not bog with the higher gear.
The bottom line: Basically on a 125 just about anywhere, and a 250 where traction is pretty good or better, (or sand especially), you can pin the throttle open early, and feed the power to the ground with the clutch. There is a limit, and you will find it. It will want to bog in the higher gear. That will force you to go into the corner faster, (a good thing for speed), downshift once less, (no big deal when you are breaking anyway), and not have to up shift one more time when coming out of the corner.
You can use the same technique on flat turns, but you can't get as aggressive with the gas when leaned over like you can in a berm.
If it does not pick up your corner speed with out frying the living hell out of your clutch, than one gear higher may be too high, or you can lower your gearing.
Kent Howerton developed the technique in the late 70's when he was on a under powered Husky. The Jap factory riders watched him from the side of the track, because they could not figure out why he was exiting corners so fast on that husky, and they saw what he was doing. "Clutching it" was born. :)
Doug in Michigan
The clutch can take it, and the technique was not very hard on the clutch for me, but I did find steel clutch drive plates (not aluminum which were stock), would hold up a lot longer than aluminum plates, but a bit harder on the clutch hub. Nothing a little file work can get more time out of,--one time. The longest I ever had one bike was 5 years, (88 CR250), and I never had to replace the clutch hub with steel plates.
This is a better way to say it, for clutch slippage in a higher gear: If you find your self pulling and releasing the clutch a bit to keep the rest up more than twice, and you can't enter the corner faster, then the gearing is too high. If you can get on the gas (pin it early) and feed the clutch out to control traction and drive, you can slip it/feeding it out, until you exit the corner if you are accelerating. It can take it. It should be smoooooth, not jerky. If it bogs and you have to pull in the clutch a bit once, you lost your advantage. Do it twice and you gave up time. Keep it pinned, see what it will do. :)
We used to be able to enter a 170 degree sand berm that was a good smooth 3rd gear arc, and fairly tight, and pin it as soon as we laid the bike over entering the berm.
Really love the Bible verse on every video good to see other brothers in Christ that also ride
Agreed!
@@bryson_stafford thanks my brother
Amen
👍🤙
Christ Factory Team. Amen. ✅
Thanks for watching guys. We'll see you at the GNCC this weekend!

Like these vids were you compare stuff !!! Hey bud. When you practice try to push yourself to brake late and grab the gas sooner and on a 125 some turns you can take wide open. I mean don't get hurt just go over the edge a bit. Then you can apply that to GNCC. It worked for me back in the day. Who knows it might work for you big guy !! WFO
I was hoping to see you clear that step-up with the new reeds.
Stu's placing looking rough! Has to be good practice for Sunday.
I’m in Charlotte, NC and will be installing the VForce 3 Reeds in my 2001 RM125.
How was that i have a 98 and lookin for s nice pair
@@christiansummers3971 I noticed a big difference in the bottom end, especially in the woods.
Thanks for the info got a 2003 yz125 and trying to get more out of the low and mid range. Powerband is great jetting is perfect but just doesnt snap how i would like. I am usually on my yz250 so might just be looking for the same pop that the 250 has. But i feel like it should respond better.
Bible verse = subscribed in that moment.
I had to replace my reeds on my KTM not long after buying the bike and I went with V Force, so for theyre holding up. Stay safe
Great video, enjoy when you compare upgrades. Heard that Boyesen Rad Valve is super as well. If you could try it and make a vid ? Have fun the next GNCC, be safe!
Great vid Noah
Defo like these comparison vids saves people wasting their money if the difference isn’t worth it or saving up if it is 👌
good luck in 21 GNCC buddy 🏆🤘
Just what i was looking for!!! Gonna get one for my kx500
Good work Noah! Good luck this weekend.
Noah, Stew, Yamaha.... ampro yamaha xc3🤔. just a thought lol
Love it and love the YZ. So sick of everyone telling me im an idiot for liking YZs better then KTMs and husky. I've ridden them all even the brand new ones and I like the yamaha better. They are more reliable, cheaper to fix and just hands down better. I always get they haven't updated anything, the ktms and husky bikes have been updated and blah blah, yeah well if it ain't broke dont fix it. Yamahas recipe is perfect. And after a couple aftermarket mods to my 2021 YZ250X, its hands down the best bike I have ever ridden or owned. Ok done ranting. FYI I love all two strokes, 4 strokes are for losers lol
I have a 2002 kx250 and it's an absolute beast. I'd like a newer Yamaha with better newer suspension, but my kx just has that low end power you can't find on other bikes
ktm is the better bike but i cant stand how they handle. too much headshake and the throttle is terrible. you really have to tailor them EXACTLY how you want them, the yzs come ridable
great work Noah love seeing the bangers
Never see a video were a Bible verse was included.Good job with the Vforce n the Bible verse.Thanks 4 the good vibes,we all need it!!!🤙👍
Sounds terrible with v force......bogging....or is it just the audio ?
Vforce stop bogging
I think it's just his clutch work
V-force definitely sounds worse bike seems unhappy with the change
You can't (mid-range) a 125 and be "fast" no matter what you do to the engine. Whether it be bolt-on parts, or extensive internal machine work. Awesome video! And yes the v-force are an improvement from the bottom up and everywhere in between. If you feel or hear a bog ever on a 1 duece nickel you are one gear too high. Let her eat. It's $580 to rebuild it right. Crank, rod, and everything.
Wdym one gear to high?
@@christiansummers3971 means your too high needa shift down and get back in the powerband these things like to eat so u gotta ride em pretty hard
Ha! I've got an '03 KX125 that I was low and mid-ranging all day long in the hills at Gypsum City in Fort Dodge. Wore out my left hand but it was a blast!
I get a kick out of the 4-stroke generation, rides a 125 2-stroke by rolling on the power like a 500cc 2-stroke or a 4-stroke. That is not the fast way to do it for a 125, but it did show that the engine has more low end power better that full throttle. You can tell as a rider still, but if you rode it a gear higher into the corners (which forces you to go faster into the corner so you don't bog coming out.), pull in the clutch after braking so you can pin the throttle early and feed the power out with the clutch in the higher gear, it would be harder to hear the gains by sound alone. Basically, when you ride a 125 or smaller 2-stroke right, it sounds like the power is full on, or totally off, no in between. And it usually is, but you are feeding out the power with the clutch out of every corner. The general rule is, if you have to fan the clutch more than once to stay in the power of the higher gear as you exit the corner, it is not working. To make it work, you have to either come into the corner faster, or maybe gear down a tinge, or get your bike to make more lower end/mid range power.
Your not making that 125 sing, but rolling on the power made it pretty easy for us to see that it is pulling harder at lower RPM's.
Good, I expect the same for my 250.
Ohhh--I did not know they made the V-4 for the YZ250 yet. I think you got one of the first.
Good luck this weekend dude!
Have you made any changes with your jetting with the modifications you have done?
I have a jd jet kit and then follow the recommendations between that and for the head. It is a lot of trial and error but the recommendations will get you close
Can you do a video on jetting a 2stroke properly
What kinda oil do you premix with? good video m8
Just found this video.Awesome how you put a Bible verse 👊🏼
I noticed no pro thanks God on the podium anymore. I wonder if that is force from the FIM or NBC.
It is probably force from somewhere. In Michigan in the 80's, a elderly lady named "Bette" did Church services at local tracks on any Sunday, and was in the local District 14 paper with an editorial. She was a popular service. Many Pro racers thanked God on the podium. Today, not a peep from the Pro's. Has to be some kind of force.
Good luck Sunday!
It must have felt different because 30-40% of your line selections were different.
Smoothed him way out and came out every corner harder
When you buy the vforce does it come with everything already or do you have to buy pedals with it and install them
Nuh. Soon as you brought religion into it that was the end of the video
Be blessed!
saw the weekly verse and immediately hit subscribe. nice riding!!!
Nieeeeeece!
🤘🏻
When you’re riding track like this do you shift a ton like down shift going into turns, or do you usually stay in high gears
Practice this: I have some old school 2-stroke tips for you that is becoming lost 2-stroke talent.
You are flying down the straight, (one finger on the clutch, and one finger on the brake), on the gas with a corner coming up where you have to brake and downshift: (this technique for berms mostly)
1) Of course, hold the throttle open until you have to brake for the corner at the last second. Then brake with both brakes, do not pull in the clutch, and downshift one gear at a time so you can hear the rpms your engine is at. (you also get more back braking power, and your tranny will have no problem with it.).
2) Select a gear that you may think is one gear to high for your final shift before getting back on the gas. Normally, with not much clutch slipping and just throttle for the exit, it would be a gear too high. (I won't go into body position in and out of the corner, but your head should be over the bars when you get on the gas.)
3) Now, even if you are not ready to hammer the power, pull in the clutch, rev it high, and slip the clutch coming out of the corner so it does not bog with the higher gear. Pin it, and feed the power to the ground with the clutch, is the basic idea.
The bottom line: Basically on a 125 just about anywhere, and a 250 where traction is pretty good or better, (or sand especially), you can pin the throttle open early, and feed the power to the ground with the clutch. There is a limit, and you will find it. It will want to bog in the higher gear. That will force you to go into the corner faster, (a good thing for speed), downshift once less, (no big deal when you are breaking anyway), and not have to up shift one more time when coming out of the corner.
You can use the same technique on flat turns, but you can't get as aggressive with the gas when leaned over like you can in a berm.
If it does not pick up your corner speed with out frying the living hell out of your clutch, than one gear higher may be too high, or you can lower your gearing. To be perfect with it, you should not have to pull in the clutch again to get the revs back up. If you can't enter the corner any faster, and still have to pull the clutch in and out to keep the engine in it's power curve, you will lose any advantage. If you get to the point where you slip the clutch all the way around the corner with the throttle pinned, (or pretty much), as you are feeding the clutch out,--nice and smooth, you did it almost perfectly. If you carried your front wheel 4" off the ground under full acceleration for the next 100 feet because you did not have to shift back up one gear, you did it perfectly. :)
Kent Howerton developed the technique in the late 70's when he was on a under powered Husky. The Jap factory riders watched him from the side of the track, because they could not figure out why he was exiting corners so fast on that husky, and they saw what he was doing. "Clutching it" was born. :)
There is one important factor you did not control. The jetting. If you want to see the full advantage of the reed, (and the jetting. Stock bike is really rich, losing power, but safe for everywhere on the planet.), you would need to tune the jetting well with the stock reeds, (and you will feel a big difference from stock jetting, cleaner burning for the power valve too.), then with them and jet it again, (won't need as much change most likely).
When ever you change a dynamic of air flow in the engine/pipe, you should re-jet the carb. It is possible the v-force makes the engine runs a bit more rich, of which you would not see full benefit. Jetting is a big factor as you know,---so it has to be controlled for the most accurate tests.
I just had to post because I didn't see you jetted it. Now I am going to finish it and see if you noticed a difference. :) Picking up one for my YZ250 too.
Get a boyesen reed valve and re jet. It actually makes a giant difference compared to v force.
@@cheddarshredder6572 I am sure it does make a difference. But what is the difference? I think I would like the Boyesen system with the 4 pedal platform of the V-force.
Quality review .... sounded better on p in cmm I’m up
I need someone elses is opinion on the apex head like im not sure i heard good and bad im just scared it causes problems
That bible verse put a smile on my face! Good to know there are brothers in Christ that also dirtbike, may the lord watch over all of us riding and always.
I am not a religious guy because I don't agree with God's teachers anymore then a Frankfort sociology professor. But when I raced amateur in the 80's and 90's in district 14 in Michigan, a Preacher lady named "Bette" held service outside of the pits for "On any Sunday" racer/family. It was pretty popular. I am not sure how many tracks she went to. I know a good number of Pro racers believe in God too, like Zack Osbourne, and I suspect NBC is not letting them thank God from the podium. If so,--that is evil, and that would fit NBC too. I know how the church can destroy communism with one more correct reformation. Because the church and communism are based on altruism,--communism can use the church for morality, because communism has none. I don't think God agrees with the teachers and preachers today.
We say "God gave us our rights" to an overbearing government. But that is not true. God gave us a brain that can reason and figure out reality, unlike anything else living on Earth. We figured our rights based on our own nature, to be able to think as individuals and achieve,---and we formed the USA that was based on individual liberty protected by law, and free people creating the free enterprise system that got mankind out of poverty. God was so proud of us, like the parent of their successful child.
But somebody is telling us to "sacrifice it" all for "the good of the all". It will be the poverty and control of the all,----like farm animals. It all depends on what philosophies we follow. I prefer the ones that created civility, (trading money instead of blood, and becoming friends), and got mankind out of poverty as we created the industrial revolution with our brains and freedom. That----is called "greedy". I call it human nature to prosper and be civil.

You looked more comfortable on the husky
he’s on a motocross track which he doesn’t do much of, wait till he’s on the woods with that bike he’ll surprise you

Stop playing around and install a STIC. I don't get it. I won't ride a 125 without one
They cost to much I can get a lectron for the price of the keihn I would have to buy and the stic
@@rodneyburke2202 you are right about the cost. The Lectron is a great carb and has a lot of positives. And they look cool.
On my bike the Stic worked so much better I feel it's a bargain. I sold the my 38 Lectron. I like how my bike revs out with it.
@@64maxpower the stic would be worth it if u have a yz250
Cuz they already have a keihn
Turned off the video when I saw the bible verse.. No thanks
Will pray for you.
@@randycombs112 okay?
What kind of suspension settings changes do you make when riding track vs woods?
