Comprehensive Overview on NEW 2024 Yamaha YZ250F! | Racer X Films

One year after the Yamaha YZ450F received a full makeover, it's time for the YZ250F's newest iteration! Kris Keefer brings his son Aden and Fox Racing's Kenny Day out to Perris Raceway to really shakedown the new bike and explain what feels different about this machine compared to the Yamaha platform that has been at the top of the sheets in recent years. Keefer dissects why these changes to this YZ250F platform take the things that Yamaha has already done so well and improves upon it.

Should have the purple rims.....like race bikes at Washougal

[@hunter-ct9ky]

The purple rims are what made it look so good

[@d4ljosh859]

Exactly that would of took it over top for me might just go blue

[@Motoinc]

@@j.pslaym0666 google 2023 washougal star racing yamaha And choose picture, then you will understanding what I mean I MEAN PURPLE RIMS

[@Tyler.56]

First time that the stock Yamaha muffler really annoys me with its raspy sound lol. Must be because now it’s got more top end so your ringin it out

[@kirkdunn1379]

was lucky enough to be at the first superbowl of motocross @ LA coliseum back in 1972 or 73 I believe.....and continued all thru 70s with hannah, smith, barnett, glover........ill never forget the smell of the 2 st race gas in parking lot as were walking up to the main entrance......

[@austinmaness8339]

My first motocross bike was a KX100 and it's still to this day the most fun I've ever had on a bike.

[@terryhyde8380]

That’s what a two stroke is, FUN!!

[@mxr248]

About the front brake.. maybe that’s just that bike cause other test riders on other vids never complained about the brakes.. it happens

[@jedielder7970]

AJ also complained about the front brake on the '24.

[@mxr248]

@@jedielder7970 mine are awesome!

[@quadcityracing]

Are the spring rates & dampening the same as the 450?

[@2stroke_folk817]

I'd guess no because 450s weigh more

[@charlesclapper8982]

When will these be available

[@charlesclapper8982]

Where can't find one

[@kameronshook1130]

They release to the public this month

[@piercetiralongo]

Should I get 23 or 24 idk!?

[@chadkennedy529]

Is it me or does it sound abnormally loud? Sounds like it wouldn't pass tech lol

[@doglover136_]

yamahas are known to be loud, the star bikes are the loudest on the track, and different cameras microphones pick up sound differently

[@JohnHowerton137]

They clearly won’t, but they always sound like they’re coming apart! 😖 That new airbox lid is loud AF. The plastic resonates bad.

[@JasonNaughton]

Kris.. Stop answering and finishing the sentences of your riders 😂 A lawyer would consider this leading the witness haha. Great video tho!

[@STEVEWRF]

Man I hate that front guard and number plate. Looks like a PW50🤦🏼‍♂️

[@austinjordan1744]

I wasn’t a fan at first when the 450 came out last year, but idk it’s honestly grown on me..

[@lukestambaugh5238]

Well said I’m sticking with 23

[@JohnHowerton137]

It really does 🤣

[@frederickcarr6416]

I Like The New YZ 250F. But it's too quiet!! It doesn't Scream like my old 77-78 Model I used to own. They could hear me coming and they knew it was me!!

[@masslevitate]

50th Anniversary not 60th 😊

[@peanutjellyman]

I felt safer on the kawi, was more stable and bump absorption was better, no son. You looked better on the yamaha. lol

[@eriksforestryvision8751]

I don't like the look compared to the 2022 250f& 450f lost the raw form now it looks like every other manufacturer. And to narrow of bikes has been an issue for me personally my old 2005 crf450 feels like a tooth pick even.

[@Motoinc]

Bad sound

[@AA-mk4pu]

I too hate the sound of the Yamaha enough that I won’t buy one.

[@jacobworld333]

It looks horrible!
