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

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.

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 !!!

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

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.
@nikolasgibson34382 ай бұрын
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.
@lampenracer2 ай бұрын
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.
@andrewbecker37002 ай бұрын
@@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.

@AntoineCS22 ай бұрын
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)
@halvorsonmx2 ай бұрын
@@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.

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.

@@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.....
