  • Installing the Panthera electric start and trying it out for the first few times in the garage. Video coming soon on the first couple rides and my initial impressions on performance.

      Stay tuned for my first ride video with it, spoiler alert it has been working really well! I had to bend the clutch arm on mine a little bit for clearance which I missed in this video. I talk about it in the next one. Enjoy the kit!

    You don't need electric start on a 250cc 2-stroke. You just need to lower that stupidly tall YZ 2-stroke (I have the 2019), so you can pull out the kick start lever with out falling over. :)
    1" off the seat. .75" off the suspension top out. You go take the berm way on the outside there stilts,--I will take the inside off camber now. :)

    hello my friend how are you.... i am brazilian and a lover of two stroke bikes, i had a yamaha wr 250z 98 and i also adapted the electric starter on the motorcycle, i used it for years and in enduro I see the importance of having an electric start, yamaha is sinning in not inserting the electric starter in the yz 250x and they should increase its motor by 300cc..... you have my congratulations, your project was excellent.....

    • @GoldenAppleGamers
      @GoldenAppleGamers  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey Cesar, I am running the TUSK universal digital radiator fan kit from rocky mountain. I honestly can't recommend it. While the fan works the temperature sensor on mine failed. I ended up wiring it up too a simple switch on my bars so I can manually turn it on or off. This works well but isn't perfect. When I find a solution I really like Ill be sure to make a video.

    Hey thanks for the video. I also have a 09 yz250 ride at carnegie as well. I have been hesitant on getting one of these after watching/reading some of the bad reviews. How has your system held up? Still worth it? Any lessons learned or failures of the system? Do you know if panthera has made a 2nd gen model for the yz? Thanks for your videos!

    • @GoldenAppleGamers
      @GoldenAppleGamers  Před rokem +2

      I have been meaning to make a follow up to this video…. The system ran nearly perfect for 18 months. Put over a hundred hours on it. I then started having some weird symptoms, i thought I blew up my motor. It turns out the bike wasn’t running because the stator pickup had debris on it. This was a big deal but at least it was fixed. The bike then ran perfect. I put about 5 hours on the bike, perfect. I then took it to a race, page AZ hard enduro. About 15 minutes into the race bike completely stopped. The stator had failed. I actually swapped back to all stock during the race and finished a single lap. I was very upset. I contacted panthera, and he wouldn’t help me because I was a few months out of warsnty. I would consider this a defect or a design flaw that is not acceptable. In any case the stator failed. If you do want this kit get the version without charging. It has its own isssue (you have to modify your flywheel permanently) but at least it will not leave your bike dead with absolutely NO way to fix it. Unless you have your whole stoke flywheel and stator. I think the company is cool, the idea is cool, the build quality seems high. But I think the design must have some issue. I will be getting a bike with a factory e start next, for now I will either ride without e start or use the kit without charging.

      @ryancapes5813 Před rokem

      @@GoldenAppleGamers Devin thanks for all this pertinent info. Yeah I think the same that it is a great idea, but long term not there yet. In the middle of the desert or forest and the bike completely dead unable to start.....kinda a problem and with a one year warrant at that price, gonna keep on kicking and bump starting this machine until I do the same of buying a bike with e start from the factory. Thanks again for your time getting this info out!
      Also wanted to ask did you install an on off switch for your radiator fan?
      I installed the tusk racing universal fan and attached it to a battery but I liked your idea of wiring in a on/off switch to your handlebars to manually turn it on and off.

    Couldn't quite hear you over the bike when it wouldn't start. Basically wont start cold on the e-start ?. Wonder if the 8 cell would be better cold ?? . Either way I'm looking forward to mine ! , don't mind kicking it cold anyway 👍

    • @GoldenAppleGamers
      @GoldenAppleGamers  Před 3 lety +1

      It wont turn the bike over quickly if your not "Trying to start it". This means fuel on, choke on, throttle cracked open like you are ready to go. I have cold started it a number of times now using this procedure and it comes straight to life. Once it has warmed up for a few minutes it starts instantly, but you still have to crack the throttle a touch like you normally would when kicking it. drop a subscription, I have a first ride video comming out with a tip on bending the clutch arm. Looks like I should pay more attention to my audio in the future.

      Got it for racing hard enduros. Energy adds up in a longer race and time too. Otherwise I think kicking works great.
