What offroad 250F can beat the Yamaha? KTM 250XCF, Kawasaki KX250X, Sherco SEF250, GasGas EX250F? Comment below.

15:52 … 🤔

[@AllanMoorhouse]

I love my 2020 FX. I'm working on a dedicated hot start map which appears to have helped over the past weekend as I did 30-40 hot starts without to much issue, it also didn't require opening the throttle nearly as much as previously needed if at all. For reference I've gone -3 across the bottom row of fueling and 0 on ignition. -I've done all of the other recommended fixes. Little bit more testing required as I wasn't riding the bike nearly as hard as I normally would.

[@lgraff2301]

I'd like to see that map!

[@AllanMoorhouse]

@@lgraff2301 So I did a bit more enduro style riding and it seemed to like it. Normally I shift into neutral and put it into the hot start map before switching off the bike (I've it set to map 2). Hot start it and then switch back to my normal map before taking off. Hopefully it formats correctly: Fuel Injection: 0 0 0 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -2 -2 -2 -2 -3 -3 -3 -3 Ignition: -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -1 -1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 Interestingly my bothers 2019 FX has a larger starter motor and its located on the front side of the engine where it's in the airflow and he doesn't have any issues. So I wonder if the 2020's have the issue because the starter motor is located on the rear of the engine right next to the start of the header??? -I might have to do some testing.

[@fattie2550]

YZ all day long. I love my 23 FX

[@dirtbikesam]

Yeah they hit a home run when the new model YZ bikes

[@stevedouglas1654]

@@dirtbikesamYour buddy Kyle liked his a few years ago. 2 strokes all day long !

[@dugsdub1981]

My 2021 250fx is a phenomenal bike. No other 4t bike can compete!

[@dirtbikesam]

They are amazing

[@Captain250FX]

FX all day! Can’t wait till the 25 with the updates come out!

[@dirtbikesam]

Same here!

[@ricksteelcustoms3196]

My first bike was a 2 stoke YZ125 when I was 14 years old I had a LOT of fun with that bike. My second bike was a Honda 4 stroke 200R. So I am NOT biased either way. That said I would without any hesitation choose the Honda.......

[@dirtbikesam]

Thanks for sharing

[@byronfrick7155]

I have a 20 fx and a 22 rx. I’ve revalved both and put aftermarket tanks on both. The rx is for sale. I don’t know if I’ll ever sell the fx.

[@Captain250FX]

🤙🏽

[@dirtbikesam]

Yeah our 22' RX is for sale as well.

[@chasehogsett9861]

That’s the only complaint I have racing woods with my 23 fx hard to start on a hill for sure just hard to start in general but runs like no other

[@dirtbikesam]

agreed.

[@michaeljazwiecki9063]

Kris Keefer has quite a few maps out there. What is your favorite and where can I find it. Thanks. Nice vid

[@dirtbikesam]

Hmm good question. I will have to look.

[@tigerlark8264]

Make a video of the different dirt bike “maps” the Yamaha app offers 3 different tunes and the option to adjust it. What’s the keefer setting?

[@dirtbikesam]

It’s Kris Keefers YZ250F map setting that he built

[@davidgrunklee8407]

No engine braking?

[@LoganEversole]

13:59 Getting a little western!

[@mt1885]

Honda needs a *6 speed transmission, electric fan kit*, and another model for woods enduro with lights like the WR from Yamaha. Wish they would build a bike like RedMoto offers. The 6 speed makes a huge difference and no sprocket gearing changes can overcome lack of 6 gear.

[@dirtbikesam]

Agree

[@rogermty1971]

As much as I like Hondas, have to agree in everything you said. This CRF 250RX is pretty much an MX bike with an 18 inch wheel rear tire. There is market for that I’m sure, but I want a nice 4 stroke enduro bike with Honda reliability.

[@mt1885]

@@rogermty1971 Agree the 5 speed along with no light/electric fan and no parts catalog like GYTR parts and be nice if it was a 300cc

[@AboutaMileAdventures]

@@rogermty1971 I own a 24 250rx, I put radiator braces, fan kit, g2 throttle tamer, wrap around hand guards, I love it, I finally got my ktm xcf350w back, and i like the honda better in the trails.

[@thefriendlybeast]

Just got a 2024fx and I have no regrets. Im coming from a 1999 CR125 so it's a very big difference.

[@dirtbikesam]

Congrats!

[@austinmaness8339]

Would definitely like to see how the KTM 250XC-F stacks up to the Yamaha but a huge factor always seems to come back to Yamaha’s out of the box KYB setup.

[@dirtbikesam]

Yeah tough to beat Yamaha stock suspension without going after market

[@lastmanoffthefield4572]

What trail in Utah is that?

[@dirtbikesam]

email me at sam @dirtbikesam.com and I will tell you.

[@MultiKtm300]

Honda RedMoto tank and shrouds are what the bike should come with. I couldn’t get over the rigid suspension and frame on the Honda. Even after two revalves.

[@dirtbikesam]

What bike do you have now?

[@davidgrunklee8407]

Did checkpoint offroad revalve?

[@Turtlefarm]

This isn’t a R … it’s a Rx … has a better suspension than the R

[@Andrewjbrock]

Came from 2012 ktm 150xc and 2010yz250f before that, got into sxs’s sold the bikes now itching to get back on a bike for 2024 debating between yz250fx or beta 250-300 race edition or ktm or husky 250-300 two strokes. Damnit it’s gonna be tuff choice!!!

[@dirtbikesam]

Oh yeah you have a tough choice on your hands for sure! Good luck and welcome back

[@jeffg3895]

I love the Beta, but I wish so bad they were not carbureted.

[@wiilp4621]

I'm trying to choose between the beta 390 and crf 450rx

[@jackmurphy1855]

Do you think I could get the Yamaha as a first bike?

[@dirtbikesam]

Yes it’s a great bike

[@rochellestanley9532]

🥇22’250 fix..

[@TommyNitro]

What woods bike has the tallest seat to peg distance?

[@dirtbikesam]

Not sure to be honest

[@eliballard]

I heard that the stalling issues in the crf250rx could be from the fuel injector

[@Turtlefarm]

I own one… it’s just rider error… once you’re used to the bike you don’t have any problems

[@dirtbikesam]

could be.

[@matthaines8136]

Would these be good beginner bikes or good for trail riding ?

[@dirtbikesam]

I would not considered them beginner bikes but they are awesome for trail riding in my opinion

[@matthaines8136]

​@dirtbikesam been doing a lot of research and a lot of people told me they started on something tamer like a 250f trail bike and once they learned to ride they got bored and sold them for something more powerful

[@dirtbikesam]

So 250F like these bikes are considered full fledge race bikes, while they are easier to ride then lets say a 450F they still have tons of power and just like you see in motocross a 250F can keep up with 450F bikes. I have been riding for a very very long time and the only place a 450F walks away from a 250F is in long straights, deep sand. I can ride a 250F faster then I can ride a 450F. Yes, getting a 250F is a better idea then getting a 450F but you still need to respect the power of a 250F, I feel like the number 1 goal for dirt biking is to have fun and be safe. You can learn the proper riding technique on any dirt bike but if you get hurt then that means no riding at all. Really its up to you on what you think works best for you. My first full size dirt bike was a CRF250X which is a milder version of these race bikes in the video.

[@2uzfe4x43]

but, for an everything bike, you would take a two stroke?

[@dirtbikesam]

Yes but that’s my personal preference

[@damianbrims7162]

i got a 22 250RX

[@dirtbikesam]

Congrats how are you looking it?

[@user-ke9cl7ud6i]

Yamaha four stroke cylinder head assembly $624. Two stroke=$0.

[@dirtbikesam]

Yeah 2 strokes are cheaper to repair

[@janetrobersonsmith]

What was that ktm In the end I’m interested 😂

[@dirtbikesam]

😂

[@Enduroracesuspension]

Why why can’t Yamaha sort the starting issues out

[@dirtbikesam]

Yeah it’s annoying to start

[@thomasbauer9691]

Why are you posting a review of 2022s in 2024 ? 🤔

[@dirtbikesam]

well that video was from last year and as much as I would love to have all new bikes every year the bike budget is there yet. Also they didn't really change anything from 2022-2024 in these models. What bike do you have?

[@thomasbauer9691]

​@@dirtbikesam2018 YZ125 for woods & Euclid haul roads in the Coal Region. Probably should have the YZ125X but that's not what the local dealership had.

[@dirtbikesam]

Oh nice, yeah big fan of the YZ125. We love our YZ125X.

[@davidgrunklee8407]

Fx all day but you can't get yams!!

[@user-ke9cl7ud6i]

But there is no way I would buy a four-stroke for all the known issues between maintaining/repairing a four-stroke and a two-stroke. Two-strokes rule! LOL

[@dirtbikesam]

I’m also a big fan of 2 strokes

[@MrFPSWisconsin]

I said this until I rode my 2023 YZ250FX

[@thomasbauer9691]

Except that Honda engines are bulletproof.

[@justinlloyd9342]

You just saved me a lot of typing lol I’d never buy a motorcycle that’s way more expensive that’s harder to work on and more expensive to maintain

[@Wesley..]

Where is the 250X??

[@dirtbikesam]

One of these days I would love to get another one...

[@eithanlong1355]

Honda only

[@dirtbikesam]

Why Honda only?

[@jackieonassis7438]

yz250fx is slow as F**, definitely not getting either one of these.

[@dirtbikesam]

what bike you going to get?

[@jackieonassis7438]

@@dirtbikesam I owned a yz250fx. It was dirt bike number 45 or 46 for me. I love the engineering and the design. Hands down the easiest bike to work on, and the most well-thought-out. They are overbuilt like a tank, but they are slow. I would love to try the crf250rx. The KTM 250 is a lot faster for me than the yz250fx. Ultimately, the 350's are the optimal power/weight for me and what I normally ride.
