2022 Yamaha YZ85 - Large wheel versus small wheel - How to choose

[@ssb557]

I think the big wheel is a good choice for you also! It might be a bit more of a challenge to get comfortable on, but we don’t get better if we’re not pushing ourselves!!

[@dirtniron]

exactly, we got the big wheel and he is doing fine

[@carsonpoole5873]

Have you ever considered doing a video of home set ups for dirt bikes, garage,building set ups that different people do, be pretty interesting I feel, maybe a few from around the country, east coast, west coast, give people different ideas for set ups.

[@dontworryaboutit1]

I was either 14 or 15 when I got an old yz490 I was a pretty large kid though. I definitely felt better on a bike that was to to large as opposed to one that was to small.

[@ricardorivera1846]

I’m a 52 year old man 5’6 tall and that big wheel is perfect for me 😆😆

[@dirtniron]

you can rock full size bike too ;)

[@Firestorm637]

Less unsprung weight with small wheel. You need a 105 or 112 to compensate for larger heavier big wheels

[@latenightlosers420]

Bro called you a beginner rider 😂 I'd hope your more then a beginner having a channel this popular 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@allanwrench]

I think he was saying his son is a beginner.

[@latenightlosers420]

@@allanwrench he said like you 🤷‍♂️ and even looking towards him when he said it 😂

[@latenightlosers420]

@Travis Stamper no man your missing my point I just know dude is not a beginner he's been doing videos on bikes for a good while I'm sure he's at least moderate at riding

[@dirtniron]

we were talking about my son before the video, he did mean my son is a beginner.. but yea, he looked at me and said "you"

[@Enjoy2Ride250]

I’ve rode all the bikes 2 strokes 100cc 250cc and 4 strokes 150’s to 300cc’s. but no experience on a 85. I’ve lost a lot of vision but I still wanna ride. Do you think a 85 would still be fun with the big wheel kit for a guy who’s 150 lbs and 5’7. I know if I jump on something bigger I’m gunna ride it too hard and prob die lol

[@finishelectric]

Guys, why not mention height recommendations????

[@williamevans6468]

Bike size and purpose is pretty much what he is saying. My parents were faced with that decision one time. The choice was a KDX 80 or a KX 80. They chose the KDX because the seat hight was lower. End of day, they chose the wrong bike and paid for that choice.

[@ssb557]

What was the problem with the KDX, just not right for the type of riding you were doing? I do know the differences between bikes, just curious!

[@williamevans6468]

@@ssb557 The KDX was fine and I loved it. But just like you asked, what type of riding was I doing.... Simple answer is, it doesn't matter. I mostly rode the bike in the woods but I spent a ton of time in the gravel pits. Either way, if you think a certain bike is too tall or too powerful, you might be on the wrong side of the argument.

[@jvmlp]

​@@williamevans6468i have that problem.. i have a crf250r and i feel it to tall and to heavy for me. I use ir in dunes and it"s so difficult to learn. Im thinking of get a 85 big wheel

[@raptorgamer8878]

28 seconds I finally get a notice

[@quadzes8416]

What would a good bike be for a 40kg 5,3ft with not a lot of experience

[@TR3LY.RYZ0]

im hoping to get a yz85lw in march cause im supposed to be going to abunch of trails

[@TR3LY.RYZ0]

[@QSpeaks]

Good video...good kids....have fun....keep your knees in the breeze....

[@raptorgamer8878]

85 huh, that's cool. I like it.

[@gamtamix836]

My man, I am in desperate need of help I don't know what I'm doing, my 2010 yzf250 does idol normally with choke but as son as you put back choke in dies I'm really new in dirt bikes so I don't know what to do

[@sam-mcginn]

Hey mate you might have to turn up the idle speed

[@RoyHsin]

I wonder what do I need to do if I want to make a big wheel to be a small wheel?

[@thynkGaming939]

2 stroke babyyyyy

[@ArianShahsavari-wk2ll]

سلام من یه ایرانی هستم ممنون میشم جواب منو بدین فرق yz 85lw وyz85چیه چه فرقی دارن

[@Samthecarpman]

I’m 5ft 5 and weigh like 9 uk stone I’m new to riding I’ve only ever owned a 125cc Chinese pit bike what would you recommend for my first proper bike

[@dirtniron]

my son is 5'5" 120lbs and he is on YZ85 big wheel, that bike fits him great right now

[@cuda4094]

Kx 100 or 112 or crb 150

[@dirtniron]

such a fun bike

[@Ryder_skates]

Man I don’t really thing that I would waste my money on a big wheel wen I could just go out and buy a yz 250 two stroke

[@chrisvillarreal2752]

It’s about purpose. Large wheel would make a sick hard enduro practice bike.

[@KlekSu_13]

how tall is he

[@dirtniron]

that video little over 5 feet, right now 5'11"

[@Martybrown-kc4xg]

Obvs the big wheel is better

[@Firestorm637]

Small wheel less unsprung weight

[@robertguillen4877]

Great video but what height is your daughter. Mine is 5'6"

[@dirtniron]

Saryn is taller than that, she is my friends daughter, but my son Timothy is 5'3" and he feels good on a big wheel.

[@cuda4094]

Just make a 125 . Lol

[@jeremyclarkson6293]

But what about if they are broke like me and cant afford a 125

[@cuda4094]

Yamaha 85👎
