2008 YZ250F first ride ripping

Brapperdan T-Shirts and Hoodies here: brapperdanstor...
So after 3 years of riding nothing but 2 stroke dirt bikes, I finally bought my first 4 stroke dirt bike. I tested one out briefly last fall and really liked it. ever since then I'v been looking for a good deal on one of my own. This video is filled with juicy dirt bike close ups and four stroke sounds. enjoy!

The back tire feels floaty because of engine breaking, I own the same bike and it just does that. The first time I rode it on pavement I checked my axle nut because it was so weird. Also I can tell you're riding it like a two stroke, that's why the front end comes up. The throttle control for it is a learning curve for sure. Smooth but fast with no jerkiness. Nice vid

[@brapperdan]

Thanks dude. The rear tire is also on backwards I noticed which I’m sure makes it even worse

[@verseclips9253]

@@brapperdan nice lol. Also I think your idle is a little high

[@brapperdan]

@@verseclips9253 that’s ok, I’m selling the bike. Watch my newer videos to find out why

[@verseclips9253]

@@brapperdan aw man ok. Hope you had fun on it.

[@brapperdan]

@@verseclips9253 I did, I’m just a 2stroke guy at heart. Honestly I just wanted to try out a 4stroke and also a new bike for more content. But I’d rather have the new toy instead of 3 dirt bikes

[@richardalvarez6768]

Good looking bike. I just picked up a 2014 yz250f and you’re right about the torque

[@lostcoastliquid3490]

Congrats on the bike! I’m thinking of buying an 07, similar experience with always owning 2 strokes. I will say you should try to bump up your cardio a bit, mountain biking has worked wonders for me. Being out of breath and getting arm pump sucks, you can absolutely get past that and if you do it’s a whole new world.

[@devincumming231]

The hot start lever I literally only use to get the bike to tdc then kick without it

[@xxdarkcarl]

I'm picking up one tomorrow I'm fucking stoked

[@preditorsd]

i am picking one in 8 h :)

[@paulcookson9286]

I think blue and white decals

[@cotyshotyou]

If its hard to kick start while hot your valves need shimned

[@chrisblinzinger3714]

bout to get this bike, super excited

[@brapperdan]

Nice. Let me know how you like it

[@handlemynyutz]

I've noticed that for some reason the early yz250fs start to sound like moto gp bikes when your in the top end

[@OgreMoto]

I have the exact same bike! Just put white plastics on it so it’s same color and everything now too!

[@brapperdan]

Nice!

[@Masonmartin32]

Reminds me of smoking a couple 2 strokes 250's with my '08 in a field.

[@dylansuteau-nc8me]

I have to same bike and I have never used the hot start switch

[@BrokenSprocket]

Nice one mate.

[@815RAW]

Do it. I put custom scream theme graphics. Bought a scream costume and all

[@exoplanetnomad]

Nice bike!

[@ironthumb3048]

I have the same bike and its great except for the tight trails when it stalls Kick starting wears me out sometimes.

[@brapperdan]

Yeh 4 strokes are a pain to start. I would love to get one with e start

[@ashka6087]

Just find TDC and give it a solid kick it starts right up, thats what works for me i own '10

[@arizonaridersclub]

Yes sir

[@abdulrahmanreciteation]

I got a 01 runs like a monster but do you think it still has the same amount of power as the newer ones

[@brapperdan]

I’m not sure i would think the brand new ones might be a little faster

[@abdulrahmanreciteation]

@@brapperdan ok thanks just wanted to know because I want to race my friend on his 2019

[@brapperdan]

@@abdulrahmanreciteation try it out and see what happens. Depends on the skill of the rider too.

[@abdulrahmanreciteation]

@@brapperdan ok thanks

[@rupeinsane1]

I have an 08 250F myself and love the bike! Thats my fully restored 96'KX250 in my profile pic lol

[@rupeinsane1]

Wish i could share pics on here! I changed my 250F to blue plastics with blue and grey graphics..looks pretty slick to me

[@brapperdan]

@@rupeinsane1 make a video and post it...

[@joanpalacios3188]

I agree with the idea of you making a video riding your bike

[@EliteGamer21]

sounds like u gotta adjust your fuel screw idle

Bro I have a YZ 250f and it’s just like he said bouncing everywhere

Hi, how tall are you?

[@TheSunnyTrails]

Going to buy an 08 with a Athena 290 kit on it and she looks the same as this. Amazing bike

[@brapperdan]

I had a kx250f with an Athena 290 kit. There’s lots of videos on my channel. The 290 is quite a bit faster I think you’ll like it

This bike is pretty low if that’s what your wondering

Getting this for $1200 🥴 he said hurry if not it’s selling in a couple hours ima hurry

[@lucasmackey8093]

I just bought one my self same year I gave her a shot of gas on pavement the back tire breaks free pretty easy

[@stonecarpenter25]

Currently deciding if I should sell my 01 yz125 for a 08yz250f I found

[@brapperdan]

What kind of riding do you do?

[@stonecarpenter25]

@@brapperdan mainly farm riding and ditch riding but I would like to start hitting the track if not every weekend every other.

[@brapperdan]

@@stonecarpenter25 probably a good idea to move up to something bigger you’ll have a lot of fun on a 250. Or get a 250 2stroke. They are so badass . Yz250 or yz250f are both great options

[@stonecarpenter25]

@@brapperdan only thing I'm worried about is price of parts and rebuilds on 4 strokes but kinda looking for the reliably that I'm just got getting on my yz125 always having issues with it

[@brapperdan]

@@stonecarpenter25 well I had a crappy 125 that gave me nothing but headaches also. When I bought a newer bike I havnt had any issues with 2 stroke. One thing I didn’t know is 4 strokes are a bitch to kick start so I would definitely get e start or else you’ll be pissed off trying to start it.

[@whiskeytittys1486]

I have the same bike in graphics

@@brapperdan can’t wait to see it brother should do install vids 👌

[@peteh8077]

The reason you get arm pump so fast is the same reason it's a wheelie machine. Your posture and riding position are very bad.

[@brapperdan]

Working on it

[@peteh8077]

Use your legs, stand up and over the bars a little with your ass out and lean to counter the acceleration and braking forces and your arms won't get so tired :)
