YZ250 First Test Ride

[@ApocGuy]

I was die hard fan of four strokers, until I had a chance to drive 125yz. From that day on, 2 stroke only. Still love thumpers, but for Enduro/mx? Two stroke to the end 😁😍

[@alienxyt]

You almost got it in the power band that one time. Good ridin!

[@mxoudi]

Haha I triedd. Thank you!!

[@aboutfaceretreats6562]

Welcome to the party! Very impressive first ride!

[@mxoudi]

THANK YOU SIR! Glad to be here😭

[@fadedjerry6952]

The air time you get is how I feel when I hit a baby jump and get a few feet off the ground 😂

[@mxoudi]

Honestly man, air is air, whether it's 100ft or 5ft. Nothing beats the feeling of sending your bike whether it's way high up or a tiny jump!!! 😂🙌✔

[@thefortmx7378]

yo! I just got a 250 2 stroke as well! Super fast bike man! Especially coming off of a 250 4 stroke!

[@mxoudi]

YEAH MAN ITS A BLAST. I'M ADDICTED! Hope you are enjoying!!

[@ValentinoMeijer]

Two stroke powerbands, addictive like heroine.

[@mxoudi]

Got that right. Might even be worse tbh 😂 😂 😂

[@Isaiahstetson]

Hey man what GoPro are you using? In trying to get a better one for filming..

[@mxoudi]

I'm using the gopro hero 9! But in all honesty I would look into the Osmo action camera. My friend has one and its amazing. I myself may get one. It's got Good quality and the mic sounds stellar. The magnetic mount is sweet too and it seems like a great camera so far. And no need for an expensive mic adapter. Gopro is kinda trash, they've been using the same processor since the 4th generation and even their newest model is loaded with issues like overheating and black screening. Even my gopro hero 9 has had its fair share of issues and I've lost countless golden footage due to random corruption and crashing. Same with MANY other friends of mine who lost audio or footage at random times. Their app is also garbage and so is their user interface. I honestly hate this thing lmfaoo. Save yourself the heartache and look into getting the Osmo camera. Any company that has had 11 generations to make a quality product, yet continues to output trash isn't worthy of money. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 💀 💀 😂

[@BITISBONG420]

Sheeeeiiit.. I think k you're doing pretty good 😮

[@fishtailfuture]

The main problem newcomers try to do with this bike. Is running in the upper rpm range. You should be lugging this bike in third gear at the speed you're going. Maybe second gear into a corner and feather the Clutch for second. But then right into third unless you really need the giddyup. It will give you weigh smoother response. Until you're actually ready to open it up. You can just lug the bike and it won't stall out or anything.

[@mxoudi]

Gotchaa, thank you for the tip! I'll give it a try next time I ride! 🙌

[@fishtailfuture]

@@mxoudi I made some edits. So hopefully it makes more sense now.

[@AN4MER]

i had my first ride of a yz 250 2 stroke yesterday and jesus they are fast when your riding them you cant compare a 2 stroke to 4 💨 to powerful for me if anything but my kxf 250 was good

[@maras7665]

Hi, what year is the yz250 bike? looks like 2021?

[@mxoudi]

I believe it's a 2020 or 2021. I'll ask next time I ride with him!

[@j-sammys5549]

Great video. Seems like your enjoying that 250 2T alot more than the 250 4T?

[@mxoudi]

ABSOLUTELY, I just might get one!

[@frankiemarchese2978]

Haha yeah the first time on a 250 2 stroke is crazy. The powerband is like no other bike smaller than it. The front wheel just want to come up. My 02 kx250 scares the crap outta me. The pros play with them like its a toy lol

[@mxoudi]

Yeah man, you're not wrong! That front wheel loves to come up haha. I've never experienced anything like this

[@frankiemarchese2978]

If you ever get the chance to ride a yz426f or a tight 450 you’ll feel the same thing. Gotta love it!

[@stevehartwell1861]

Different kinda fast. 3rd is your friend on that track. Tuned it'll even be better. Seems you've found your true love.

[@patmartin2730]

Oh no you have to try. Keep it up

[@mxoudi]

Thank you!! 🤘

[@fishtailfuture]

Your four stroke would stall out and have weekpower in third gear on this track. But on the two stroke that's what you should've been doing. Third gear would give you the smooth low torque power band that you're looking for. But you gotta be careful cause it will hit eventually. You should've been doing this track and third gear almost the entire time even when you think you should downshift you shouldn't. The two-stroke fires on every single cylinder pump and so you can lug the bike Welo and get a lot of torque. Most people from for strokes don't realize that so they're always trying to keep the engine way raft out and it's uncontrollable at that point. At least at the speed you're going.

[@mxoudi]

I see what you're saying! I've got this fear of stalling when I slow down. and end up downshifting really hard. Thanks for the tip!

[@storm5013]

@@mxoudi He's right you definitely want to be pretty much a gear higher everywhere and if you need the instant power out of a loamy corner you just tap the clutch. Also your fear of stalling probably comes from your cornering technique. You seem to be tunnel visioning on whatever berm or rut you want to ride and you enter it standing the bike straight up with really slow entry speed. I'd recommend coming into corners a bit hotter with your eyes far infront of you (not right infront of the wheel), and start leaning the bike over before you get into whatever berm or rut you want to ride and you'll find you won't need to downshift as much.

[@mxoudi]

@@storm5013 I see! I shall give that a try! Sitting down mid corner and giving it gas helped alot, but there's a couple other pieces to the puzzle I'm missing & I think what you said will help 🤘

[@zimbabweyouthoutdoors4613]

I own one of these, the only problem I have with it is that since I got it I can’t even look at other bikes as anything more than a toy😂

[@reaperalpha8536]

I’m going to buy one. Fuck it!!!

[@Gusman7766]

What about 350 ktm 2 stroke

[@mxoudi]

300 or 350?? Either way I would love to rip one!!

[@b5Bart]

If youre anywhere near il, il let you rip a yz500 2 stroke. Thing doesnt fuck around tho, you look at thr throttle and its hitting powerband ​@@mxoudi

[@mxoudi]

@@b5Bart holy crap that sounds insane! I'd love to but sadly I'm nowhere near IL 😭😭

[@greggo7978]

I race this bike, you want some fun,put a paddle tire on it.

[@mxoudi]

If I owned one I'd give that a try 😭😭

[@greggo7978]

@@mxoudi It's truly a blast although you will need to re tighten your spokes after each ride and have a new set of wheel berrings if you rip the paddle long enough,that was what I experienced anyway but it was all worth it.In fact a paddle is less expensive than most other tires.Never the less have fun no matter what you riding on my friend.
