2018 Yamaha YZ250FX Review

We check out one of the sweetest 250cc four-stroke cross country bikes on the market today, Yamaha's YZ250FX.

Riding/learning in the mountains of western China (where imported bikes are double the price) on a 2008 model. I love it. This 2018 model my wet dream.

Just bought one getting delivered next weekend

[@JT-zb2yn]

Bike sounds amazing I want one!

[@jacksonnixdorf1278]

I just bought mine, runs great

[@RoyalBubble5575]

Yes

[@Alaska_MD]

Thanks for the review. You said that it's a "little high." The specs list the seat height at 37.6 inches. I'm looking for a lower bike. Do you know of any that are lower seat height. I can't find any.

[@thumbgas888]

I love mine!!!

[@ashleykc1849]

I am getting the yz250fx 2018 this summer 😃👍❤

[@michaelwood5519]

Just got mine and love it! Waiting for a spark arrestor to come in so I can get in the mountains with it.

[@nancyblanchard9175]

I have the 2018 yz250x and it's awesome. Get the 2 stroke if you don't mind mixing gas

[@nancyblanchard9175]

And keep a close eye on the rear shock. Mine went early on and didn't notice until after the 30 day warranty was up

[@chazdriver551]

I love my 2015 250fx

[@stuntedcrew1999]

where in the maramarua forest is this I'm in pukekohe and would be keen to come rip out there if open to public cheers

[@NZsarge1]

Sweet

[@flashdrz]

Hate those chest mount cameras.

NOICE

[@EverythingisFire]

Is there a big difference between this & the WR250F? Other than the headlight.

[@FXrider-nl1ch]

The suspension is more stiff and aggressive on the FX, but not as aggressive as the F. If you plan to cross country race it, then go with the FX. I love mine.

[@kalanmckercher8714]

You can full Register the wr and can only register the fx in certain countries

[@chriscardoza9714]

Wish they would make a 350 Yamaha fx to go head to head with ktms 350 just thinking out loud...???

@Izzy rod xc-w

[@ryanwillow2625]

how tall are you?

[@rileeschwegel5153]

I’m 5’8” wild this bike fit me

[@nancyblanchard9175]

Yes but you won't be flat footed

[@paolomendioro1187]

I'm 5'7" and I can just support it with my foot, of course not flat footed.

[@elia3043]

Paolo Mendioro that’s good to size up your bike your supposed to be able to firmly place just the front 1/3 of your foot on the ground.

[@paolomendioro1187]

@@elia3043 Yeah, I could do that just barely. Then again I saw Kawasaki's KLX 140G... I know it's nowhere close to the YZ250FX's max performance, but it does the job.

[@camerongordon2638]

Is this a good bike ti learn to ride on?

[@buttslayers2354]

I mean i wouldn’t recommend unless you above 5,6 if you’re below 5,6 the. I would recommend something smaller like 230 or 150

[@chrisatkinson6279]

I would never own a 4 stroker it sound like crap

[@jas9256]

Just like a ricey ahh 2 stroke
