  • The Yamaha YZ250F doesn’t have that many changes to it for 2022. Yamaha lightened up the hub, sprocket, and chain, and they installed a 2.15 rear rim (instead of the 1.85 2021 rear rim), and went to Dunlop MX33 tires with a 110 rear-tire in stock trim. The fork’s low speed damping was increased to try and create less pitching off throttle, and there you have it, the 2022 YZ250F. The engine still has that same great torquey feeling it did in 2021 so all of you vet riders take note. We went and grabbed a couple different riders: a young 135-pound B level rider (Aden Keefer) and an older, Vet C rider (Michael Allen) to see if the 2022 YZ250F can please a wide variety of skill levels and abilities. Did it make a difference on the track? Check out the video for some points to ponder before your purchase.

    Had all the 250f’s, the 21 Yamaha really turns well from apex out better than the others. Best trait of the bike is suspension and it’s so good it’s a reason to go blue

      Totally agree with you! You can put that bike wherever you want it to go. There was nothing I could find to complain about. Bike is just all around awesome!

    Ive been lacing up wheels for mountain bikes and bmx for over 30 years. The 3 cross spoke lacing helps keep a bicycle wheel from flexing as much as the 2 cross lace spokes. I am sure it helps moto as well.

    Terry from Christchurch New Zealand, love ma yamiez I've had 32 New yzfs. I'm 52 race vet mx and couple of Xcountry's. I used to by a 450 and 250 each year till 2017 when I got an 250 fx for trail and the 250f for mx. I was always faster for longer on the 250 ill never go back on a 450, just thrash da 250 yamiez are solid, just do ua oil every couple hours max.

    Kris, I'm 66 yrs. old vet novice. I've been on two strokes since 1973. My current bike is a 2014 yz 250 smoker. I just bought a 2024 yz250f white knight for the first time. My question is will I like it better than my two stroke. I'm five ten buck 54 in weight. Please give advice how to set it up. It takes me 4-5 laps to get my speed up. Thank you. DoUmoto819.

  • @mikeraskin7319
    @mikeraskin7319 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    No doubt that a 450 is a bit much. I bought a 2019 kx450 and it was ok, but compared to the 250f it is a fat boat that wears you out in 2 laps. The 250f I can go many more laps without getting worn out.

      @mikeraskin7319 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@yamumsasscrack3723 my thoughts were that on the 450 i wouldn't have to be as aggressive, which I thought might equal less fatigue, but that is not the case. The 250f for some reason I would consider being more like a 125 2 stroke because you do have to push harder, but nothing like a 125 2stroke kind or aggression. It's probably just because the classes used to be 125- 250 instead of now 250-450.. But that comparison isn't the same as how they ride. Crap the new 250f's get the same power as 250 2strokes, but are easy to ride. Anyways, ya I think I need to remember the times have changed. ✌️

    @chrisnielsen5287 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Rode a yz125 for 5 years, finally wanted to step up and move to a 250f. Can't make a decision between a yz or a Ktm. I think currently the yz250f is undoubtedly the best in the game right now, but I've never ridden a steel frame and the quality of the KTM's is top notch along with yamaha

    • @mxr248
      @mxr248 ปีที่แล้ว

      The bike just stock is awesome! It really doesn’t need anything nor aftermarket exhaust. Mapping all depends how you ride. Stock is find. But you can do linear where it stretches out longer. If you like hit go to hard hitting ..
