It is possible, but very unlikely. Even if one loosens, both sides would need to loosen for any major movement in the axle. This being said, it’s still absolutely possible. For that reason and many other reasons, it’s always a good idea to check torque on the most important bolts, oils, filters, and air pressure, actively during riding season.

Crf250r was the Honda we talked about. Is that what you are referring to?

@@GenerationAerni how much does a crf250r weigh? 237 lbs. Yz250fx is 244.

@@GenerationAerni my phone auto corrects crf250r to crf150r. Sorry. But you said the bikes are 40 lbs apart.

Interesting, and they’re made for your bike? We’ve never had an issue with them. You just have to make sure they’re equal

@@GenerationAerni yes to the correct ones and these things sieze up in swing arms all the time but the problem with this design is you can't get a socket around it.

@@JoshStreetDesign Coat the threads in anti-sieze before installing.

@@nvmcrider8475 yeah that's obvious to know after the problem already occured. lol

Heck yeah, that’s awesome! You have awesome trails over there. We are actually from the Lebanon area.

@@GenerationAerni That's cool!

Thank you!

An 18” wheel is said to flex better over rocks, meaning the side wall has better coverage. So the advantage is in trail riding, track bikes would usually prefer a 19”

Great advice!! Definitely a very important component

I have found dirt getting into the seals will cause them to leak, I cut a milk jug and made a fork seal cleaner. never had a problem after that.

i know this is an old post, and i'm not saying this is the reason...but it's common to blow out your seals by strapping down the suspension too much during transport. Happens when you go over bumps in the truck

Great!

I used Motocal.com

Absolutely! That’s a dream you are making come true. So awesome. Would you be interested in seeing a new shop tour with the new set up?

Good! Being nimble is nice on the trail

I'm twelve and in need of a new bike and this bike seemed fit for me but I was worried about the weight and size, this comment made me feel better.

It's not about the trouble picking it up. It's about the amount of energy it zaps from you

Is it just the case that’s cracked or components inside as well?

Awesome! Keep us posted ;)

@@GenerationAerni finished putting everything back together. Starts on the first crank now. Runs great!

@@geesee1306 Awesome! Fast finish, that’s the best sound

They are a great bike. You are right about the tranny! We did another video where we mentioned Yamahas 6 speed vs Hondas 5. Can’t go wrong with these bikes, so much capability

You must have some good riding experience. That’s great to hear a review from the opposing side. How long have you been riding?

@@GenerationAerni I don't have much experience, I started riding 3 years ago, but at first I was a casual rider, I used to ride for 2 hours every 2 or 3 months because I work a lot, I've been riding a ttr230 which is a heavy bike maybe that's the reason why I don't feel that this bike is heavy, that I bought the fx in March of 2021 and since I bought I've been riding more often, almost every weekend and sometimes I go to the track at night, but I don't think I have much experience, I also hear that your bike fuel plugs, I don't have that problem at all, I have 60 hours on my bike and the only things I do is oil changes and air filter changes, that's it.

@@matiasmaldonado510 very cool! Nice you found time to ride more. Can’t complain about that 😂 it no longer fouls plugs, it took mainly just some mapping adjustments, now it runs perfect hot or cold.

@@GenerationAerni that's awesome that you fixed that isuue and now you can enjoy the bike better

Maybe we’ll show it! The weight differs mainly because the Honda is a 2006. Meaning it has no batteries for starting, none of the excess wiring or programming components as the Yamaha. It’s pretty light considerably. :)

@@GenerationAerni that still seems awfully light. You can't believe what the Honda spec says either. Even the cr 250 smoker was 219 that year and that was a dry weight.

@@scottgaskill4896 sounds like a good video idea. We’ll test it! I’ll write it on the schedule 👍🏼

I agree with you as well I don't believe that a Honda weight 210 pounds, not even a 2 stroke, I think he is exaggerating, unless he took away a lot of parts off the bike and he's riding with just the frame, motor and trannie

@@GenerationAerniI wasn't being a wise guy. That's just awfully light. I don't think that would qualify for AMA rules?

5’8”

Always trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle. And help the environment of course 🤷🏼‍♂️

The model we review in the video is the 2020, so I couldn’t tell you! Sorry if we didn’t make that super clear :)

Great!! We’d love to see yours! Shoot us a message on Instagram :)

@@GenerationAerni I will for sure, gonna split the case today and hopefully everything in there looks fine.

@@bigoofboi4916 awesome! Keep us updated. If you send over a quick video we can try and feature it!

Haha yeah XD, one of us likes Honda and the other the yammy! It’s mainly due to the mapping of the fuel injection

In our case, the bike has an electronic mapping device. It likely wasn’t mapped correctly and was causing too much fuel in the mixture. It just constantly drowned the plug

Ha! Thanks

You got it! It’ll be on the way :)

Geez awesome guys!! Thanks for taking time out of your day to respond. 😎👍

@@icalvinza6106 anytime! Thanks for watching ;)

Thank you!

Ha!

They are the 2018 restyle kit :)

@@GenerationAerni ohh thanks man and one last question. What exhaust are those? Ive been trying to buy a new exhaust for my 06 250r but couldnt find any on the market

@@mindthenowmotovlogs8563 no problem! I’ll have to check when he brings it back over. I know that the fmf exhausts are good as well as pro circuit

@@GenerationAerni ok man thanks keep me posted just incase he wants to sell that exhaust please let me know

@@mindthenowmotovlogs8563 will do!

Thank you!! Hoping to get a first ride video out this week ;)

@@GenerationAerni let’s get it can’t wait man keep it up I loved this vid

@@vipz9099 right on!

The large tank is a great benefit!

It does weigh almost 20 pounds more than the ktm and ktm holds more gas. I prefer the yz250fx, but it is a little pig. The seat is too high and ground clearance is too low. Ktm has almost an inch and a half more ground clearance while having a seat height that is about 1/2" lower.
