I don’t have this bike anymore. I went back to Yamaha lol. But it was 100% stock. Didn’t do anything other than play with the square PV bolt to get the power where I wanted it.

@@STFCompound love my old YZ250. In anything that is flowy I’m as fast as on the TX. When it gets Gnarly tho, the TX really performs. The TX May have suited you better. The remap I mentioned really was no joke.

@@d.r.gossett8134 I loved the engine on the 300. But overall I couldn’t get the bike to work for me. I look for a specific feel and I was never able to achieve that. Even after throwing basically everything at that bike but TI Engine mounts. So I made the decision to go back home and it was the right choice for me.

Nope. I only race Yamaha 2 strokes haha. If you are going to race woods. I’d highly recommend the YZ250FX

It was definitely a challenging track. If the conditions weren’t so soft. That track would have been all time in my opinion. It wasn’t easy for us either. Just a struggle for 2 hours

Talking about that clanking noise? It’s actually the fork spring in my fork. Not sure why it is so loud but it is lol.

@@STFCompound yeah the clank.. lol. Good Bob and Weaving.🤘

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

250X

@@STFCompound I know u race 125 sometimes, you’re a hell of a pilot!!! 250 or 125 ! I don’t think it matters! lol

Thanks!

That track would have been so sick but the rain really ruined it. That ground is soft to begin with. So the rain made it worse and the bike just dug it all up. Can’t tell from the video, but you know how soft and gnarly it was. Definitely was not an easy track. I’m going to watch the weather. I might show up to IXCR. That track has a lot of mud holes so we will see how much rain we get 😂. We don’t do any riding clinics. But maybe we will consider it sometime. Problem is, there are races every weekend.

@@STFCompound Yea this track was the most challenging one I've ridden so far, I think. Then on top of that, add rain/mud lol. I suck at hill climbs and these were really putting me to the test. By the time I got to most of the hills, the bikes had dug up all the roots, so they were made even worse (for me anyway). My truck was parked right next to the hill at 3:27 so I got to watch you and Jack sending it on that in the later laps lol. Good racing!

thank you!

Factory Yamaha does…. Because it’s 110% stock lol

i knew you were going to say that somehow..@@STFCompound

Thanks for watching! Yeah Kenton and I had a good thing going until I ran out of gas haha. Lappers were insane! I hit that drop off for the rest of the race. Just got caught off guard. Didn’t know it was there. Extreme Saturday?

@@STFCompound I hit it on lap 2 and just avoided from there on lol. It seemed like every time he'd get hung up on lappers and you'd be on his tail, he'd get through and then the lappers would close the gate on you. Might be at Extreme if the rain doesn't soften the ground too much. Definitely at IXCR next weekend and will be at Rd 2 of MWXC tho.

@@MattCantRide it was a game of cat and mouse all day long. Well maybe I’ll see ya this weekend 👊🏻✊🏻

Feels so good to be back

Sometimes I’m too careful and it causes me positions / time lol. But I try to be respectful. I bleed blue. Tried the husky, great bike. But it just didn’t work for me. I look for a very specific feel and after throwing everything at it. I was not able to achieve what comfort I was looking for. So I went back home.

I try to be careful with them. No sense in making us both crash lol

You can never go wrong with a Yamaha! All of their Offroad models work just find for motocross. But I wouldn’t say the motocross models work good for Offroad lol. All depends on what you want. Definitely look into a YZ125X and a YZ250X. You could always put a heavy flywheel weight on the 250X to take it down. Then once you are comfortable and used too it, take the flywheel weight off. Let me know what you decide and I hope this helps a little!

Setup is going alright. Slowly getting to a more comfortable setup! As far as upcoming races. Who knows lol

My house. Thanks!

I still have the YZ125. Just riding this for now.

Thanks for watching! How did you like deer ridge? What are your racing plans for 2024?

@@STFCompound I liked Deer Ridge. Being new to riding, there were a couple sections that were particularly challenging, but overall it was fun. Definitely racing next year. I’ll probs race IXCR or MWXC, but do AM bikes instead of PM. I’m told AM bikes is a little slower. 😅

@@XtasyArmada_ haha sweet! Well goodluck and see ya around!

I used to run the Michelin starcross 5 medium front and rear. But they tires are no longer being made. So right now I’m running a left over starcross 5 medium front and a Dunlop MX34 on the rear. It’s up to you tho. I’m picky about my tires. But I believe a lot of people are running maxis and Dunlop now.

@@STFCompound Thanks my man! So different than here.

Revalve is better. Didn’t get a chance to ride it before I went racing. Just need to ride it and dial in some clickers.

No I have not. I’m on a very right budget when it comes to racing. I have a 10 month old and a stay at home wife. Racing is hard to do right now.

Re valved the shock. Forks need some major work lol. But working on that now. Dropped down to a 44 spring. Dropping down to a 14 1cs spring then adding more float to that. If that doesn’t work. I will modify the stack on the mid valve and add a split somewhere. To soften it up

@STFCompound I didn't realize how soft you like the forks. That's a really light ics. The yamahas run a 2.0 and you mentioned those were better.

@@mr.midlifecrisis8547 I like a soft bike. I’m 150lbs and I ride with the front end light. So I need it softer or else it feels super harsh like these 6500 inserts.

Thanks for watching!

That place is always a mud hole lol. But it’s 3 miles down the road from my house
