1986 YZ250

[@capsitan]

You dont need to crack the throttle when cold, that will bypass the choke circuit. Only crack throttle when warm. Notice how it started when you didnt pull back.

[@Malibus_Most_Wanted]

Also the 86/87 motor floor easily if fuel is left on for 5mins basically

[@509grind]

Jesus stop giving it gas! Choke and no gas!

[@Workerbee-zy5nx]

Science dammit, yeah.🤦‍♂️

[@EarthSurferUSA]

That bike was $2,300 new, what I paid off a dealer floor. It was the first year the prices started shooting up, and really not much more advancement. The 1986 production rule from the FIM did that. My 88 CR250 costs $3,200. I think in 85 they were about $1,700. It was the beginning of a kid not being able to afford his own bike, and the market share today is only about 1/10th of what it was in the late 70's and early 80's. Yep---all the places we rode and practiced, are all grown in. Funny how the younger generations today think the sport is doing great. But the MXGP FIM world championship races have about 15 racers on a 40 racer gate today.

I bought a 1985 for $1200 in 1986, the bike only had a couple hours on it, wish I still had it.

[@russellhelms2835]

Completely agree! But where do we start that that conversation with the society of butthurt snowflakes? It’s always “somebody else’s fault” or “progress😳”. Used to be plenty of places to ride, not nowadays.

[@DRumsBDrugs]

The '86 250 would fly! I bought one from a friend when it came available after riding with him and I COULD NOT leave him behind on my DR350. 🤣👍

[@davebarlow6457]

A 250 2 stroke motocross bike would have a similar power output to today's 450 4 strokes so I'm not surprised it trounced your DR 350 , they were a decent reliable plodder but definitely no missile ! I raced the 87 YZ 250 and yes those YZ's were fast and reliable.

[@DRumsBDrugs]

@@davebarlow6457 I really enjoyed riding both bikes. Ofcourse, in 1993 we had it made!!! ✌ I took it for granted!!!🤣

[@matthewn_gaming7782]

dont give it trottle when you kick it, do it right after it started

[@puncheshippies623]

Those bikes were always cold-hearted c*nts. But the start was worth the reward

[@familieoma6156]

No gass when you are kicking

[@austinyates9127]

Look like me trying to kick mine over hahaha. Can't wait till my rebuild is done soon.

[@wbsaproductions6537]

Same!! working on mine now... It will be for sale, when I'm done... contact me with offers California

[@CommanderCHIMP]

The old mad helmet toss😂

[@brooksieluke]

Put up some more vids of this!

[@michaelbrewer1474]

Super nice bike!!!

[@Workerbee-zy5nx]

Make choking carburetor great again.

[@joski9030]

Why’s he throttling it when they have a choke 😂 tdc choke on should start in 2-3 kicks max looks low on compression

[@jimtom4849]

Oh memories

[@northpole3645]

Why you giving it gas when you kick you all ready tip the bike on its side then put the choke on

[@MrBradjr1234]

My 89 yz250 starts on the first kick at 40°

[@shaunsavage1726]

Bet crank seals are dried up.

[@鄭辰風-o8k]

My dad is also a 1986 YZ250

[@earlgordon8542]

My 74 mx 250 starts on 2nd kick

[@jeffdegroot6741]

Quit twisting your wrist when you kick it.

[@LM-mc2lm]

How do you keep the gas tank so white? Mine is yellow

[@alex.jaeger1714]

Steel wool

[@32103045]

So lying it down did what ?

[@danniellebrightbill9951]

32103045 flood carb a lil bit gotta Do it on mine too, put it on left side for second or two, choke on, prime kick 3-5 times, find TDC and kick like all fucking hell while blipping throttle halfway thru.

[@32103045]

@@danniellebrightbill9951 ok so prime kick does nothing as not enough vacuum to draw fuel through reeds TDC yes that's good practice Throttle blip well that's debatable Lying it down pointless Rocking pointless Blowing into carb pointless The bike cant be set up properly if all this has to be done I have an 86 yz490 Turn on fuel Pull choke Find tdc Kick Starts in 1 to 3 kicks everytime If not check engine condition Timing,stator,coil ,carb setup,float height,air leaks,plug gap etc etc I never saw a gp rider lying it down,rocking,priming,or any other little trick.A correctly set up two stroke WILL start

[@danniellebrightbill9951]

32103045 actually professional ice racers lay the bike on the left side for one second to let it flood the carb so get your facts straight, I start my YZ250 everyday you don’t got to tell me how to start it

[@danniellebrightbill9951]

And rocking? You must not been around a lot of two strokes, bringing a bike out and not shaking the fuel around is a big no no 👍🏽

[@32103045]

@@danniellebrightbill9951 not sure at what point I told you how to start your bike? If you want to waste your time with unnecessary stuff carry on but the bike is still set up wrong . I've had 16 two strokes over the years and never implemented any of the aforementioned actions. Good luck with your concoction Oh and if rocking is to mix the fuel why do they do it in gear 🤪

[@ИбрямИвов]

What hp ?

[@damienpayne]

48hp

[@farmerman7947]

Patrick Norén bullshit

[@jasont6723]

Not the 1986s, they have more torque than a newer one though. I’d say they are close to 40. I have a 1985 yz250 and it’s bored over 0.60 and it is extremely fast and the front end pops up in just about every gear. I haven’t rode a newer yz250 so I don’t know the difference but I’d say they are close.

[@johnpena9165]

@@jasont6723 I owned a 85 YZ 250 and boy did that thing rip it's been said that the 85 YZ 250 had one of the best motors ever for a 2 stroke 250 !

[@alexjohnson1612]

NO THROTTLE AT ALL

[@andrewwclayton7028]

Is it for sale

[@ricgsy7825]

Start it like this buddy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJvPlHalebB0htE. Thats how I start my YZ490 and can sometimes take as many kicks as you. She's a real pig to start. Gotta get high and stand slam as hard as you can to get it started. Great kickstart action though fella.

[@danielallison402]

Opppps...... KZbin demonitize his video he took his helmet off LOL only reason I'm saying this is cuz they did this to my video when I just took my helmet off 🤣😁

[@swemx7403]

Nice video (y). But hehe, what what the rumour all about that ''Two strokes starts easier then four strokes''?? That bike right there in the video.. is a biatch!

[@Zzzzzz-ns7lg]

SWeMX my 86 yz250 starts up first or 2nd kick everytime. This dude needs to stop giving it gas every time he kicks it over. Real good way to flood the engine

[@danielmenaugh161]

My experience, as someone who raced 250s and 490s both 86s....they have a mind of their own and are a total bitch to start
