Guys can you specify total clicks from bottomed out on rebound settings? You didnt mention where you started. Same for HS comp on the shock. Just said backed it out 1/4 turn. Dont know where you started! Thanks guys! Love the content
Thanks for the video guys. Very helpful for a track like that. It would be nice if there was race spec video for a faster track with big jumps, because the set up for that kind of riding would be completely different.
Like I said in the video, maybe add a click of rebound and stiffen compression a click or two... this is a very good base setting. You'll always have to adjust for sand, mud, tracks with big jumps, etc, etc...
Unless they made a big change i think the 2 strokes only have 1 handlebar mounting hole. So you can only turn the clamps forwards or backwards. So only 2 positions
I came to comments for this reason as well. I think they adjusted it a 1/4 turn further from original position but they should have mentioned total turns out. 1/4 out from bottomed out woukd have the opposite effect imho
I think the MX and X model both come with 14/50, which is very fast gearing. I think I would start there, should give you lots of speed and good power in sand. I went 13/50 for off-road, did tight harescrambles Sunday, being old, slow, and around 220, I need 13/50. Son may try 14/52 off-road but still at 13/50. Apex heads really wake these ups (we run XC insert), but MX or SX on a track, some like small flywheel weight, son got gytr, I got a cheap 11ounce. We run 40:1 yamalube 2R and pump 93. Old school tough bikes.
@@OGLD I would, manual even says 30:1, which I thought odd as normally it is 32:1. When they come from dealer they put in part tank of 15:1 for break in. But it is also about the oil. So some of the Amsoils or synthetic you could probably go 50:1. Yamalube 2R don’t think is synthetic but works good at 40:1 on the 250, probably 32:1 on the 125. Depends how hard/where you run them too. Sand running hard is much worse than old guy like me putting in trails, but occasionally open it up. Just what you are comfortable with.
I disagree with the grip statement, Yamaha yz stock grips are fantastic! Last a long time but don’t beat up your hands and when you look really closely at them they are very well designed. They’re kind of a perfect fit for the average consumer. Lock ons kind of suck in the fact they wear out quickly, plus beat up my hands. Just my opinion.

Stock bar bend on these bikes is really good.
Very helpful info. ..thanks you guys..

@DavidPingree_WTMG101 thank you very much 👍👍👍
Ping, can you do a race spec for the 250X? 195lbs rider east coast hare scrambles and moto.

Are you sure you only went 1/4 turn on high speed? You went under soft on fork/shock comp but heavy on high speed?
I came to comments for this reason as well. I think they adjusted it a 1/4 turn further from original position but they should have mentioned total turns out. 1/4 out from bottomed out woukd have the opposite effect imho
I noticed forks slid flush with caps. Did it come that way or did you move them ?
Just got a 24 yz250 can’t wait to get out. Thanks for the video and information. What gearing would you recommend for a deep flowing sand track

Depends on your speed... stock is good if youre quick. For novice-speed riders you could add a tooth
@@jpconardyou still have to run these things at 40:1???
@@OGLD Yamalube 2R and 110 race gas, mixed 32:1 . Have never fouled a plug, engine stays clean inside, no carbon buildup ❤

Has anyone tried the HITLIS PV upgrade in their YZ 250
Yes I have the desert kit and love it
Why are you not saying 22, 23, 24? The 22 is the newer shape too
