Good review !! This mix of bikes and riders is an awesome way to test !!

[@BrendonMills461]

Why doesnt Yamaha make a GYTR edition YZ250F and YZ450F? Similar to KTMs Factory Editions. Would be a great option for someone looking for a complete ready to go Mod 250F and makes good sales for GYTR

[@bigironjakesd619]

This is a absolutely great idea! A yzgytr works edition all factory spec!!!!!

[@bradykenney4976]

Preach bro!!! Drives me nuts.

[@rfair123]

Good idea, but go add up the price of a complete GYTR setup. Yamaha could build it and a few would probably sell, but the price point would kill it IMO.

[@motozz8258]

ktms so called factory additions are just glitter on a turd, Nothing like GYTR heads etc .

[@brandonfoley8070]

Wow that GYTR bike looks really nice, if I ever had to replace parts in my motor id do the GYTR kit instead

[@torr-michaelbennetta9785]

I had a GYTR250. Amazing Vet bike. Light feeling, with plenty of engine to ring out. GREAT compromise between 250/450. Would get one again in a hot second.

[@jaymckoskey25]

You make a great case for a 283cc big bore 250 with the GYTR cams.

[@OneSon744]

Love, love my YZ250/IT465cc 2 stroke best of both! I smile just thinking about it.

[@scottpeters8640]

I have taken in four Yamaha Demo Days at different MX tracks and have owned six Yamaha bikes of various types. On two occasions they had a GRTR YZ 250F alongside the stockers and my opinion is that the GYTR bike is more mechanical, more hard-edged, than the stocker. Me being a mod-C class guy would not really benefit from that modded bikes higher revs, as I don't rev my bike that much anyway. The stocker always was more plush and that is what I like. Great comparison !!!

[@jpesicka492]

i appreciate you saying this. I think suspension, a slip on muffler and an ecu would be ideal for me. Wouldn’t touch the engine until it down the road if needed.

[@chrisvozza6530]

Awsome vid thanks for all the info ML. 👍👍

[@jeremys1496]

Should do a mod and stock 250 2 stroke vs the 250f’s

[@mikeb4708]

How about the GYTR engine with a dual injector kit?!

Shorty in the middle kinda cute

[@rokuabtor6834]

You should have had a Husky 350 in that Comparison Test!

[@darksidemx1138]

Haha, I love the 350 platform, but I don't think Yamaha would have liked the idea.

[@motozz8258]

not a category, no one races a 350 o and its a ktm not a Huskavana

[@rokuabtor6834]

@motozz8258 LOL, ok, not GasGas, nor Beta either?!? How about Sherco and the Sparky Varg? 350's really are the best Porage to compare to! 🧉

[@jpesicka492]

@@motozz8258lots of locals race and ride 350’s in SoCal.

[@andrewbecker3700]

You can always detune a 450. But you can't uptune a 250. For bigger riders or vets that have already been riding big bore machines. There's nothing to be spooked by with a modern 450. It just needs to be set up properly, and an ECU map loaded that's manageable for the rider. The way my '21 yz450f came from the dealer, it was basically a death trap. Virtually unrideable. I had to go over the whole bike, front to back, top to bottom. The power was completely unmanageable. That's the biggest consideration when deciding on a 450 or 250. If your not a good enough mechanic to keep a 250 running in a controllable manner. Then a 450 isn't for you. More power can only benefit you, if it's controllable. Figuring out how to keep over 60hp from killing you, can be a challenge.

[@nikolasgibson3438]

I totally agree. I’m a 140lbs weekend warrior, and my 21 YZ450FX was so violent I couldn’t ride around a parking lot without jerking around. All I did was spend 10 minutes playing with the power tuner and it is now the easiest bike I have ever ridden. Went from unrideable (for me) to a easier bike than my KTM 350. A 450 is simply a drastically more versatile bike than a 250 for off-road.

[@lampenracer]

Same here! Detuned my 21 YZ 450 a lot and I'm in love with that bike. After my first ride in stock trim I really thought about selling the bike but the app helped to smooth it out.

[@andrewbecker3700]

@@lampenracer I wouldn't say I detuned mine so much, as just tuned it to make more manageable, linear power. It still wails hard as fuck. But I can keep it between my legs, without getting wrung out like a rag doll. Set up is very important. Brakes and ergonomics. Along with overall handling. Power has to be brought on gradually as you get the bike to stay manageable for more than 10min. I'd never willingly pull power out of a tune. Just adjust how it comes on.

[@Moffattfamily-316]

So would a big bore be better cost wise it’s cheaper. Would it get closer to 350?

[@cristiannaser212]

Is any photo of the mellow map you mentioned of the 450

[@darksidemx1138]

Let me look and see if it's still in my phone. I returned the bike last week, but should still have the map.

I accept your compliment. Thank you

[@GerbenWelmer]

So get a 350, best of both worlds…

[@2uzfe4x43]

Best of both worlds if it was a Yamaha and felt like a Yamaha and not a ktm

[@jpesicka492]

Air fork, still got to come out of pocket to make it better so pick your poison

[@jayaldy7955]

Where can I order that graphic kit??

[@halvorsonmx]

what is the actual hp difference between stock and gytr? I can't find that info anywhere

[@AntoineCS2]

have ridden a gytr full spec with akra on a yzf450 2022, that was something, gearbox 4 speed, a HUGE torque but have something that doesn’t make it slide (still oem suspension), i think it’s like 5/6 HP (10% +/-) on a 450. maybe little more as 12/15% for a 250 (procircuit top end give you around 6HP without doing anything for example)

[@halvorsonmx]

@@AntoineCS2 I'd have to see the charts. No way in hell is a person getting 7hp from a pro circuit top end. .5hp maybe... I wonder if a vortex ignition can do just as much as a ported engine now because the machine processing and downdraft designs are so good. If you look at a modern four stroke head there can't be muych a person can do to make it better other than maybe add a slightly different seat angle or something. 5 angle instead of 3 not sure.

[@AntoineCS2]

@@halvorsonmx contact PC, they can give you the information, for airbox + kit + ported + vortex you are around 48/49HP on wheel

[@halvorsonmx]

@@AntoineCS2 ohh ya all that together I can see it. I thought you meant just for a piston. Yeah I know the pc level bikes are right at 50hp. Which is nuts!

[@richardferrell4362]

@halvorsonmx the numbers mentioned are 7%. So add 7% of 39hp. So like 3hp lol

[@carverac]

If someone wants a Japanese 250 closer to the KTM 350, don't go GYTR, go big bore

[@Tommy-cc4my]

Gytr vs 350

[@hannesleijowall5727]

I wonder what maps the where trying on the 450. I mean if u run a mellow map on the 450 it is not that hard at all to ride. Its a different riding style! Cant be as aggresive, and if u are a 250rider yeah well. Also you where running glenn hellen. Hard to grasp you didnt beat the laptimes on the 450. I bet it cuz you where not used to the 450.

[@395PRS]

Find Keefers video where he explains what he did to his Loretta Lynn's 2024 YZF450 race bike. Top to bottom. He for sure wasn't looking for more power on his Yamaha.

[@daviddziadosz]

Why is the girl in the middle have a beard?

[@richardferrell4362]

built 250f is still going to need a piston in 20 hours..... Yall have lost your touch with the customer base lol.

[@utube358]

I have a yz250f with a 290cc big bore, exhaust and cams ...super reliable and can hang with 250 2 strokes

[@The_Life_Of_Ty]

Yes, they should just keep reviewing stock bikes only because some guy named Richard can't afford a $200 top end.

[@richardferrell4362]

​​@@The_Life_Of_Tyor maybe review parts that the consumers will buy? A $3500 gytr top end mod motor isn't being bought or used by many people. Normal people would buy a big bore kit and just be done with it. 99.99% of them will be racing an open Vet class anyway. And sure that piston is $200, plus the gasket kit $100, valves and other stuff to rebuild a top end. Oh and maybe a crank at 40 hours cause your putting more stress on it with a high comp piston..... and better hope you don't throw a ring into the cylinder and trash that head and cylinder.....

[@richardferrell4362]

​@@utube358yeah a big bore is what 99% of people are gonna do cause they're very much easily reliable. A stock bore mod motor top end won't be. It's comical.

[@tedturner9054]

The gytr bike i looked at few years ago requiredcomplete rebuild every 5hrs
