- A couple of months ago (sorry for the delay) I put up an "Ask Me A Question" on my Instagram Story. I got so many great questions and did my best to answer as many of them as possible. By far the most asked questions were "Why do you choose a YZ250X?" and "Tell me more about your electric starter!" So I took some time to answer those questions at the end of the video. But yeah, hopefully lots of good info in here for you all from Bike Setup to Riding Techniques and Mind Set talk!
Although the starter is not yet available, you can head over to fischmoto.com/pages/sign-up and sign up for their newsletter! Do this and you'll be the first to know when the starter is available!!
Huge thanks to the sponsor of this video www.pgmotorsports.ca/, it's so rad that they support my efforts like they do!
Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE. Next up is an in depth look at my approach to Trail Cutting! - กีฬา
Hope they produce that starter.
Thanks for taking the time man. Excited for that estarter u have to come out in the market
Thanks Jason for all the techniques! And the Starter info too!! :D
Cheers! Thanks for watching! 🙌
Keep the videos coming! The mx dome is also my favorite out of the three. You’re definitely becoming the YZ250X social media guru that people lean towards for anything 250X related!
Always stoked to answer questions and show Blu cru is capable in the trees:)
Excited to see the trail cutting video
Circling back to let you know the trail cutting video is live!
I used to get Yamaha DT125R s for woods an the expansion pipe on them were bigger than YZ 125s , I made it fast af, I had a YZ 250 it was 2 fast
I owe a big thanks to you Jason.
You inspired me to sell the WR450 and get back on a yz250.
Having an absolute blast on it. Best decision I’ve made.
Thanks legend!
Awesome! Love to hear it 🙌🔥
Awesome video as always mate!!!!
Thanks so much!
For side hills... Speed/momentum also can help. Usually there are short sections of side hill that is just plain unrideable, but if you have enough speed it doesn't really matter. If you don't have enough speed and you start to slip and slide downhill, you will continue sliding downhill. But if you have enough speed you will only slip downhill for a short time until the trail levels back out, and then you will regain control. The trick is having enough speed to get through the steeper or slicker parts of the side hill while not going so fast that you cannot control the bike.
Confidence is a big help, and you can gain confidence by static balance training and riding a lot of side hill.
I'm excited to see this
Heck yeah, thanks for the support! Tell your friends 😅
Awesome video! Can't beat team blue. Love my YZ250.
Thank you!! BLU CRU!
Prince George. Excellent. I was thinking " where the hell are you riding cause it sure looks like Kamloops area " (Inks, Greenstone) your presentation is fantastic.
Cheers mate!!! Hit me up if you ever wanna come ride 🤙
Front of the peg!! I like climbing with the ball of my foot right on the centre of the peg, but I can see how sliding up on the peg could give that forward pressure we are all searching for. Maybe it will help me get used to the foot position required to land on top of something while covering the rear brake too. I'm okay with brake taps in the air to level out but not when landing on the rear wheel when trying to find holding pressure. Thanks for the tips, epic video!! 🤘🤘
Cheers man!! Very much appreciate the stoke!
I love the fact your different and not just feeding people bs. And because of you i just bought a 2020 250x oddly enough its got almost all the same upgrades even the flex bars. I just need to figure out the Jetting for 1000 ft elevation
Appreciate this man!! Always happy to answer questions!
@@JasonHamborg what elevation do you ride mostly and or what jetting would you recommend for the bike with stock pipe and vforce3 reads i do have the same head set up as this video
Aprx has a jetting chart on their site... try this link. static1.squarespace.com/static/5cd32a1716b6401d078bbe11/t/610bfa4cb85905682acdde22/1628174924441/yz250+jetting+chart+big.JPG
Great vid!
Thanks Ryan!
Nice video and awesome tracks 👌✊ ma mates have already giving me a ripping for the give away question 🤣
Lol!! Cheers mate!
Awesome! I'm definitely going to use the front part of the peg next ride!! My tip.I like to ride as slow as possible on hills I've pretty much mastered already, focusing on clutch/throttle/balance, even coming to a dead stops without dabbing sometimes, doesn't always work but can make an easier hill funner. Terrain dependent of course.
🙌
Yes this I've been riding and racing mini bikes since I could walk and am an above average rider but have always felt like I was falling off the back of the bike when standing on climbs I'll be playing around with foot placement on the next few rides 😅
Great video
Thank you 😊
Recently sold my 19 tpi 250 it wasn't necessarily a bad bike but I'm an ex moto guy and I can't ride moto on that thing with how soft the suspension is, I think the yz 250 is a great base for everything so I'm looking at building a do all bike plus the build quality of the yamaha and simplicity of a cable clutch and carb just appeals to me to keep fun simple. Mixing gas and hauling ass. Great video helped me iron out a few things.
Cheers mate!! If this is your plan, be sure to watch my 2021 bike check video, you're basically describing my bike 🤙
@@JasonHamborg I've watched most of your video already as you're pretty much the only stand alone off road yamaha guy on here which is pretty cool. I've owned a couple yz250s for moto they're just bulletproof and easy to work on, no worrying about oil pumps and fuel injection. I'm an ex mechanic and wrenched on a yz250 in British 2 stroke champs a while back so I'm pretty familiar. Just looking for a broader linear powerband as I'm pushing 40 but found the ktm tpi boring coming from a moto background. I like the fact you found something that works and stuck to your guns man probably a bit of a cult hero here. Keep hauling man merry Christmas!
Is there a hydraulic clutch option for yz***X's?
OK ,,!!!! I do not want to buy a husky or a KTM I have had a 1998 380 KTM, 2001 2002 KTM 400, two 200 KTM’s, love the 200s KTM 300 I have two 83 YZ 100s that I race . I have been currently racing a 2003 YZ 250 desert for the last six years I just love it I’m ready to go buy a brand new YZ 250X or continue with my 2003 YZ 250 however ,I need a button I’m 57 it’s helpful on the technical stuff. OK Panther-e start Lots of negative reviews. Fisch moto Is it the answer I’m willing to wait to be different thanks for all your help and your videos.
Best guy on youtube

About time
😅😅 sorry mate!
I just discovered your channel. Thanks for the info. Do you mind sharing your jetting settings, type fuel and oil mixture that you’re using?
Hey mate, sorry for the delay!! I use Chevron 94 with Amsoil Dominator. 40:1.
Refer to the Apex Racing jetting chart on their site, I'm mostly in line with that.
Saludos ... que marca es el kit de starter????
Are you still using the fisch Moto electric start? I’m pretty close to pulling the trigger and buying one
Stumbled on your channel. After seeing a vid I bought some burly SXS hand guards for 22 YZ250. Awesome. What size battery did you use on your prototype estart. I have my pre order in and cant wait. I have an SC-1 AG battery unused and wondered if I might be able to use? Half the weight and power of recommended AG-801.
Cheers man! Appreciate the support!
I was using ag801. You could try the one you have. Worst case scenerario its not giving you enough juice and you go up to the 801 🤙
If the 250x had factory starter and hydraulic clutch i would never own another bike.
Hey any more news on that electric starter? Being a shorter rider having a yz 250 in the Australian bush. I struggle to kick it over. I struggle to get my leg over the bike😂. Thought about lowering it just for starting purposes. But really don't want to lose that ground clearance. I have no problem riding it at its current hight.
@@tonymarshall9670 fisch moto is now selling them yup!
Great video Jason ! I'm running a 2020 yz250x and lowered the stock gearing 14-50 to 14-51. I have noticed a small improvement in technical terrains but I always tend to be torn between using first or second gear for hillclimbs. Should I go with 13-50 or 13-51 to help that? Still want to be able to cruise flowy single tracks in 3rd💁🤦
13-50 might be the move for you! Probably comparable to a 14-52/53. I am at 13-51 and spend a lot of time in 2nd and 3rd but sometimes on faster single track I almost want to go to 4th but that gets tricky because of the wide ratio jump up to 4th so instead I just rev it high in 3rd
Perfect ! Thanks for the tip ! Will be trying 13-50 and see how it goes !
They better hurry with that e-start, getting ready to sell my 250x and get a beta for the e-start. I looked at the Pantera but there are so many complaints.
Last I heard, they are aiming soon:S
Jason, Do you run any type of fan on your YZ and if so is it a solo ISO battery, meaning a battery you would have to recharge after awhile?
Hey! Sorry I missed this. Yeah, so I was experimenting with a small computer fan on a switch this season running off the starter battery. It definitely didn't push as much air as a trailtech but was cheap and helped a little bit :) haha
Hey mate cool video , Iam the same I’ve had about 5 or 6 yz 250,s now , what’s your thoughts on the fuel range just to confirm I don’t have something wrong with mine this latest one I have now seems to only be getting 40 or so km before I hit reserve and about 60ks out of my 11 litre clarke long range tank , that’s pretty much race conditions
That seems like not much for having a large tank!?
Yeah not sure what to think , maybe 60 - 70 ks Iam starting to wonder if it’s leaking
I am interested in the starter where you got it and the engine cover for enduro, I am designing one for enduro in Puerto Rico,if you can know where you get the pieces
This is made by Fisch Moto
hello please, I have a few questions for you, did you give your head with a larger volume? if so, does it run on the same nozzles? or should the nozzles be replaced when the head is replaced?
The Apex Head works with everything else remaining stock.
Are you using Hydraulic Clutch - starter has good clearance in between?
Thanks
Stock clutch with a Zeta CP perch.
Have you thought about a 300cc big bore? More low end torque ideal for hard enduro style riding
I have yeah... haven't really done any research into it though
@@JasonHamborg haven ridden a few 300`s 01exc, 15te and now a 22TM they'll lug down low and tractor up the nastiest of hills, I've no experience with the YZ big bore though, so it'd be interesting to see if they have the same porting as the 250
Hope they produce that starter of 01 cr250
There is one availible.
Could a headlight be hooked up to the e start battery also?
Yeah I think so. Depending on which light and how much it draws... worst case it drains your starter too fast and you just gotta kick er over. At lease you won't be stranded haha
@@JasonHamborg thanks for the reply
How many hours you get before replacing??
-Top end
-Crankshaft
Topend 100 hours. Ive never done a bottom end. Longest I've had a bike was 300 hours.
When's this alternative e-start gonna be available?
Hey Clark, unfortunately I dont have a definite timeline. I would recommend signing up for thr newsletter on Fisch's website. Or keep an eye on my channel and I'll make sure to share as soon as they have a "for sure" date.
how price eletrict stater for yz250x ,sir?
Not too sure yet. Link in the description to sign up for a newsletter about its release
Do you have to get permission from land managers to build trails?
Honestly, depends where you live. Or if it's local land vs. Private property
20:12 Why are you wearing a South Africa cap?
It's a Leatt cap. They are from South Africa
@@JasonHamborg Lol never knew they were South African and I live 4hrs drive from their HQ😂
Update on the starter
It's available for pre-order on the Fisch Moto website
What's a y zed it that's Like a yz?
Canadian vs. US pronunciation 😁
Any word on the starter?😁
It's available for pre-order on the Fisch Moto website
I’m always so confused when you call it a “yzed”… why do you call it that vs YZ
Canadians pronounce it Zed not Zee hahah
@@JasonHamborg WHAT THE F*** 😂 I had no idea that’s so funny. Cheers thanks for the reply- video editing and production value on your channel is killer keep up the great work dude
Britts, Canadians and ozzies cannot pronounce the letter Z, but what did you expect, some of them can't spell the word Tire either....lol.
? I start my Kawi 300 with my hand. Come on!
Siick dude, that's badass
