[@MotorcycleThrottle]

I can hear your Kickstarter rattling. You need to change O Ring on it. Otherwise, if you wear those two metals on the Kickstarter too much, then even changing O Ring will not eliminate rattling sound. Otherwise, great video.

It’s not the kickstart it’s a two stroke it’s the motor they are supposed to sound like that idk it might be the kickstart

Idk how you aren’t KZbin famous. Love the videos man super awesome 👍🏼

[@mirthevanzwol7601]

This video and videos of high gear made me realise how easy the terrain is where I ride (in Netherlands). The terrain is completely flat, or modified by humans. Just grass or dirt & some leaves in autumn. I see I miss out on many technics. If I get a car, licences(car+motorcycle) and my dirtbike legal & no covid, maby I then can go to an other country on summer holidays and ride there, on actually terrain you need skills for.

[@jonmotes5406]

You’re riding has inspired me to get a little better at riding. Awesome video! 👍🏽👍🏽

Am I the only one who’s dad told them that 2 strokes u had to be on the powerband or it would flood so I used to do gnarly stuff on the power pand??😂

[@jamesdecker4166]

Well it depends on what riding you do. I ride motocross most of the time, and I have a yz125. I keep it pinned almost 100% of the time, so my pistons are always fried after like 15 hours.

[@notimetoexpIain]

I was never told it would flood but I was told they don't have any grunt down low, and that's true for the most part with the 125 and under, 250+ has power for days all over the place

“Are you eating an onion?” made me laugh so hard, idk why lmao

[@samueltheriault4158]

Something's rattling about somewhere. Especially at the end after the drop, I'd check that pipe it moved about quite a bit on the slow mo of the drop. Note to self when hucking huge flat landers, keep neck very tight and away from bars. Good vid keep those up!

[@BeRAD]

Père Grégory haha there are a few things that rattle on this bike and the exhaust is not one of them. Chain, skidplate, and the worst is my clutch lever/perch.

[@samueltheriault4158]

Super enduro brother👍. Watching from india 🇮🇳

[@RastaRider]

It's often hard to judge elevation on camera. Looks like fun. Would love to attempt it on my '05 CRF450R. I put a heavy weight flywheel in it to aid with trail riding. We ride at Croom in Brooksville, FL.

[@plichhayy1]

what weight flywheel weight did you add ? also did it help with stalling when trying to pick threw the tight trails and hard endure style riding ? I have a yz250x for hard endurp but my buddy has a 2019 crf450 and for the life of us we cant get it set up not to stall and flame out in the tight stuff .. hoping a flywheel weigh will help with that >? thanks for your time man

[@RastaRider]

@@plichhayy1 Yes that's exactly what it's good for. Mine kept stalling in the tight woods as it wasn't designed not to haul ass on a track aha. I forget the brand but I can look in the garage soon. I'm also not sure the mass of it but it was the heaviest one sold for my bike. I had to file a bit of material from inside the cover but it was an easy install and made the bike perfect for enduro 👌. Brand may be Supertech or something like that.

[@FredricMccubrey]

i love videos when you talk like this and not just heavy breathing.

Yes I agree with the fact that we enjoy the bike riding. Also remember seeing you do that huge drop off on Instagram. Dam that would be scary as heck to do that. Also your bike sounded like it was making a funny noise right at the end of the video

[@divergent2619]

When will the yz250x get e-start?? Im really leaning towards the yz250x but the estart is holding me back... Maybe the beta 300 xtrainer? Think there about the same price as the yz.

[@BeRAD]

Divergent although the x trainer is a cool machine for what it is, it is not at all a bike to compare to the YZ or any enduro model. It has...horrible...suspension lol. I think if you aren’t racing professionally and find estart a necessity, assuming you’re in good health, maybe hard enduro ain’t for you haha

[@HippoDrones]

Dayam... that drop off at the end... needed a parachute! :D

How often do you change the spark plug on your 2 bikes because in your videos you normally don’t keep it reversed high and just let it idle while you are riding

Awesome riding man. I’ve been riding a year now and Hidden is where I’ve been practicing on the jeep trails to get me ready for the mountains.

[@sixfivemoto8845]

Hey man awesome video! What gopro settings to you use?

[@steelshotproductions]

I'm not far from Hidden Falls but I go to Murphy's MX instead. Hidden Falls seems like it would tear the shit out of your tires???? It does look fun though.

[@BeRAD]

steelshotproductions if you’re worried about tire wear, I suggest finding a new sport haha. But no, tores actually last a very long time doing this type of riding as you want to avoid wheel spin in almost every scenario. If you’re a goon and soon you’re wheel, yes it can wear out. But still, my tires last quite a whike

[@EeeBeee2]

How does the rear rim hold up to those square edge splats, R u running mousse, tubliss or tube? I reckon I would pinch a tube and flat a rim lol.

[@BeRAD]

carlin hicks I ran tubes up until a few months ago. Now tubliss in the rear. I pop inner bladders still but overall it’s pretty good. Ultimately, I think I’ll run mousse. My rim gets dented. But not too bad, I mean the tubliss still works with it.

[@rolexshine923]

Just curious.. But would the motocross version of the same 250 have handled that 10’ jump better suspension-wise ? I’m definitely sold on the great 2 stroke 250 but now I’m not sure which one to get between the yz250 or the yz250x ?

[@ulfzway6479]

[@grudgetank3127]

Haha I was there that day hidden falls is awesome but there is some areas I won’t touch for fear of my life

[@brianthompson6578]

Nice riding, I haven’t been out there in years. Bike sounds to be running lean off the bottom.

[@BeRAD]

brian thompson it’s actually a tad rich in bottom. Haven’t checked the reeds in a loooong time, my head pipe is 1/3 the diameter it should be, and my silencer end cap is caved in...it ran a lot better 100 hours ago but it sure isn’t lean now.

[@BeRAD]

And thanks!! Great place to ride

[@geoffboyd]

Can you tell me your suspension clicker settings that you prefer to ride with on the YZ250x front and rear? I would like to try out how you have the bike setup!

[@HardEnduroLlewellyn]

I’d ask his weight geared and Sag as well, if you’re not close to him in weight I wouldn’t bother.

[@geoffboyd]

That’s very true. I’m probably 175 fully geared up at the moment.

[@thewildbean2367]

[@boostandoctane6368]

[@larrynorsworthy8582]

That engine runs amazing at low rpms.

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

My 2018 yz250 runs the same. My spark plug is still the one it came out of the crate with. Over 100 hours on it. Lots of slow riding hard enduro stuff and teaching my wife and daughter
