The mighty Yamaha YZ250 1980 first start (Smoker)

We had this YZ250 in the shed for years. This was my last dirtbike when I was 20. Now years (and years) later my son (20) start it up. After a few kicks it run. We did some (easy) test driving to warm it up. After this we will clean it up, replace all the fluids, the tires, the chain and everything that is needed and take it out for some driving on the track. Surprised that it runs so well after all these years. I loved it then and I love it now. Twostroke love!

Nice bike been sat all them years and she fired up and still went well i hope you cleaned it up. Old school 2 strokes had them all my life ive got a 82 IT465 on the road love it.. ..............

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

Beautiful. I always preferred the black and white colour scheme of the old Yamaha's. Even the seats were more comfy back then. Happy riding.

[@intotheadventure2592]

Its black and yellow dumbass. The red and white are special

[@IGrocker]

Into The Adventure bikes this old were yellow and white, then white with red in the late 80’s. Not sure if black and white was an option even into the 90’s

[@intotheadventure2592]

@@IGrocker that's what I said

[@TheFykle]

The red and white were euro models and incl autralia etc The red and whites started with the 1982 J model. while the U.S and others recieved the yellow and black models. I personally much prefered the red and white.

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

@@intotheadventure2592 Dumbass? That how you always get your point across fuckface? In Aus we had black and white Yz's prior to the 80's. Get out sometime and learn your world is more than one fucking country.

Such magnificence

Ahhhhhhhhh, I can smell that smoke from here......

[@nathanieljones9852]

Me too

[@barryphillips7327]

Two stroke engines make good for their size, every second stroke is a power stroke, a four stroke engine only one stroke in every four delivers power that is the difference. The biggest and baddest were the YZ490,s CR500,s etc. Knew a guy that rode an IT465 ( road going version of the YZ ) he said it scared him shitless the first time he rode it, ha ha.

[@Thundarr995]

As a teenager I had a 1980 YZ80,and a 84 CR80. That older Yamaha would smoke the Honda on the top end. The Honda had alot better suspension than the YZ. Back then the bikes were evolving so fast that even 1 year could make a huge difference in performance. I liked both of em.

[@JohnDoeEagle1]

My cousin and I had a 1980 Yamaha YZ-80 we bought new and owned it until 1989 when we foolishly sold it because we "thought we were way to big for it". Ours was the more common yellow and black "bumblebee" colors. You are never too big for a Yamaha YZ 2-stroke dirt bike no matter the size. They are still the fastest and best ones in my opinion. They rip and scream easily beating bigger displacement 100cc and 125cc 4-stroke enduros or trail bikes.

When you didn’t have to be 6ft+ to touch the ground. The good old days.

[@hansnabuurs2255]

Is hij niet te koop ? Ik zoek eigenlijk een model van 1980 maar 1981 kan eventueel ook deze is van 1981 zie ik.

I have a 1980 honda 250xr and the intake boot is hard and broken. Is it possible to make my own?

[@MattyIce250]

Possibly, but it would be easier to buy a new one rather than make one.

[@ianmangham4570]

Just buy a k&N filter then adjust main jet

[@justinsharma4157]

Beautiful bike. Will clean up very well. Looking forward to the next video! By the way I think it is a 1981, the tank decals are 1981 and the boost bottle on the right hand side below the tank wasn't on the 80 yz250g. www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/1980/YZ250G/INTAKE+YZ250G/parts.html But other than that I think the 1980/81 bikes were pretty much identical.

[@a51stef]

Then it's a 1981 thanks!

[@707SLAYER]

YES ITS AN 81

[@basmanders473]

komt er nog een vervolg?

[@briankennedy5578]

Those old air cooled bikes didn't have to be warmed up slow. Jump on and go. Early water cooled, if you đint warm it up , they would sieze

[@AlanizMorizzette]

Brian Kennedy but it didn’t run for 4 year. So carefull.

[@briankennedy5578]

So what? That makes no difference.

[@fearlessfrank409]

Robert Clint oldschools are badass and fast too keep that in mind

[@EarthSurferUSA]

True. But for me, I did not have parents that were into bikes. I bought my own. 10 years old in 74, making $1.00/hr for the next 6 years, I bought a brand new dirt bike every 2 years. Then I turned 16, got a drivers license, became a busboy and bought my own NEW truck too. I was off to the races making $3.45/hr in the mid 80's. The moral of the story? "We are all born into the USA of today, not knowing how great she was yesterday.".
