2025 YAMAHA YZ250FX - First Impression

[@scottmeredith8951]

Great job on the video man. The new generation Yamahas are are spot on. I currently own a 24 yz 450 for moto and it is one the best I’ve ever ridden. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there brother.

[@dirtniron]

thanks a lot Scott, glad to see the comment from you! these new Yamahas are so good, looking forward to do more riding/testing for sure!

[@spencerclark2269]

Awesome video. Love the YZ250FX and moto version too. Hopefully they make a 350 one day.

[@gumpycognac4505]

Praying for a 350x …they’d sell every single one they could pump out

[@mixalis6168]

Never will!

[@brandonleach97]

Yes!!!! It would be dope if all companies would start making 350’s!!!!

[@tkrey23]

You asked what we want to see - I'd say comparison against KTM bikes. I have a 23 350XCF that I love, I can ride it well even in technical single track. but it wears on me in technical single track - it feels a lot like a 450. I rode a 2021 YZ250FX that was set up well and was super impressed with it. It handled much better than I've been able to get my 350XCF to handle and I have very nice suspension on my bike. I'm going to give a 25 250FX a try this summer!

[@dawnburden8548]

Let’s see how it works on moto track . Maybe a good vet bike for everything!

[@Boptone1]

You're missing out on the WR250F and WR450F. The true offroad Yammies

[@dirtniron]

yes WR is amazing, I was comparing it to another "x" bikes from Japan that are made as a offroad racers

[@mxriderdakar]

Probably the best bike offroad to buy today. Would love to have one.

[@dirtniron]

It really is a great bike!

[@mikeking7388]

I had a 23 250fx was such a good bike planted, stable, easy to ride fast. Almost effortless honestly. Rarely used first gear even lining up for an obstacle was just so short. I put 140 hours on it off road/enduro. I could not for the life of me slow wheelie it lol just bought a new 250x im more at home on a 2 stroke. I’d have a 250fx as a second bike easy. Just have to convince the wife I need 2 bikes 😂

[@dirtniron]

thanks for sharing Mike! yes, you have to keep both bikes. ;)

[@tomnekuda3818]

Great video as usual with good evaluation of bike. I'm BACK! Two new knees, one new shoulder, 12 screws in my spine along with 3 rods with them. Now to get the bike ready for spring.....gonna be a long winter....sigh. WR gearboxes are the way to go....years ago I switched from CR Husqvarnas to WR's for the trails and my life got better immediately. Yam suspension is so good now, too.

[@devenbenavides1063]

ok

[@dirtniron]

right on Tom, glad you have you back! I missed the comments from you sir ;)

[@ktmjay9920]

Love me some Yamaha s. Great video

[@dirtniron]

thanks bro!

[@bertamusprime618]

Another great video, very excited for the continued testing/review. Thanks for picking up the FX and sharing the information. Keep up the great work and I am excited to see its capabilities as a do it all bike.

[@dirtniron]

Glad you enjoyed it, lots more to come! Thanks!

[@seuvagem1950]

Yz250x: am I a joke to you?

[@dirtniron]

haha, thats a bit different story tho..

[@cannonsmith991]

Just picked one up this morning! Can’t wait to rip it

[@dirtniron]

right on! share some findings once you ride it!

[@OdysseyOffroad]

WR is just as good but has headlight and odometer/speedo. Loveling my 25 wr250f

[@nicolasayer1908]

Looks great, 250x still preferable for maintenance

[@dirtniron]

yes, 2 stroke always easier on maintenance

[@1A-defended-By-2A]

This comment makes no sense ​@dirtniron

[@Dashriprock4]

What about the Honda CRF250rx or the wr250f Yamaha?

[@dirtniron]

i was comparing it to another "x" bikes. its much more offroad than other manufacturers from Japan.

[@Dashriprock4]

@dirtniron bro! Steve Holcombe won the 2023 Enduro GP World championship on a CRF250rx. There's nothing more off-road than Enduro GP!

[@AboutaMileAdventures]

Hopefully you can try out the 2024 250 rx from honda, its an amazing bike after you put a flywheel weight, revalve the suspension, put a throttle tamer on it . May God Bless you Brother.

[@dirtniron]

I tried 24 450rx, good bikes... but Yamaha does more offroad stuff on their 'X" model.. thats why I said its a real offroad

[@skylerb7103]

The WR is waaaaay better for Offroad. Comes with a headlight 😂

[@dirtniron]

I was referring to "X" bikes meant for gncc racing ,etc but yea, WR is great!

[@fallingover]

How does this motor compare to the 250 sxf you just rode?

[@brycejeannot8665]

I would like to see some technical riding and see how it handles slow stuff. If it flames out and stalls alot or not. Very excited for this!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dirtniron]

I will make sure to show that in the next videos, slow technical single track is on the list for sure! Thanks for the comment

[@motozz8258]

That's a hard enduro bike you need ,this is a Enduro bike a Enduro Race bike stock pretty dam good too.

[@brdzhn1987]

waiting for yz250fx vs wr250f video Rado 🙃

[@1A-defended-By-2A]

Does it implode after 100 hours though? Like the rest of the trash mx bikes on the market? (Regardless of maintenence)

[@colinbox3472]

I am considering getting a 250fx currently ride a 125x

[@dirtniron]

I think it makes a lot of sense, let me do more riding and report back

[@railduke68]

250fx or 25 350xcf for offroad single track?

[@dirtniron]

it its too gnarly and technical the 250fx might be a better bike for that.. I will try it out for sure

[@72mmALKYDRAGGIN]

I’m surprised they don’t have a STOCK rekcluse clutch, toe shift and electric shifter on the bars

[@dirtniron]

common, its not that bad ;)

[@fattie2550]

KTM350 or this new 250FX? Ready go!!!

[@LCARSADV]

Can you add a headlight and plate it?

[@Travis_125]

WR model has that.

[@dirtniron]

yea, you can.. depends where you live tho.. California no way

[@1A-defended-By-2A]

High compression will always break early

[@Travis_125]

Love your content but you make me suffer through 1080p 😢

[@dirtniron]

oh really, what video is not good? gopro stuff?

[@Travis_125]

@@dirtniron the riding in 1080p is a little grainy. Once you watch riding clips in 2k and 4k it’s hard to watch anything else.

[@1A-defended-By-2A]

Spoiled first world country problems

[@Dat_Sun]

Lumpy 4 stroke dirtbike is no fun

[@dirtniron]

:)

[@davidbeauvais1364]

Can you dial out engine braking in that app

[@dirtniron]

I havent seen that option there, but perhaps different maps will have different engine brake feel. let me test that

[@davidbeauvais1364]

@ engine braking matters a lot for our conditions in New England our races are bare minimum 1.5 hours and conditions are mossy rocks, massive wet roots and barely and real soil the rocky conditions and constant on/off throttle makes you tired if you have engine braking
