Motocross Action tests the 2022 Yamaha YZ250F at Glen Helen Raceway. In 2022 the Yamaha YZ250F gets Dunlop tires, a new wider rear rim, larger width tire, new lighter sprocket, more durable change, and updates to the suspension. The goal from Yamaha was to gain more rear wheel traction and acquire a more planted feel out back. The Yamaha is a test rider favorite but faces stiff competition as the 2022 Honda CRF250R is all new and the KTM 250SXF remains dominant. Will the changes made to the Yamaha YZ250F be enough to capture a 2022 Motocross Action 250 Shootout win? We will be finding out sooner than later! Josh Mosiman breaks down the details of the bike, what we learned on day 1 of testing, and some useful tips if you are a Yamaha YZ250F owner. Our goal is to bring you the most comprehensive and in depth test video in the industry so you have the information in your hands before breaking the bank at your local dealership on a new bike.

Let's hurry up and see the new yz125
Fr Fr
It’s the same as it has been forever they are not wasting R&D money on two strokes
@@jonruger bruh they did
@@peytonmaslowski5392 not really changed some of the material the block and rotating assembly were made of before to a different grade of steel and aluminum. and port shape and a few minor things with the reed valve and stuck it in a 250f chassis like always calling it a complete redesign. The material change is most likely a money savings on their end but only time will tell if it was for durability or not.
@@peytonmaslowski5392 it will sadly still feel like they always do because a lot of the changes they made are to things riders swap out immediately like the bars, riser, pipe and reeds. I wish the Japanese saw the value in making 2 stroke and 4 more like KTM does but they seem to only care about American super cross.
Just got mine! Obsessed.
Love Yamaha!
Awesome!
Imagine some people see this really well filmed video and saying let’s hurry up with the 125cc. It’s like wtf lmao
Great Video cant wait for 125cc
That 110 tire is a shocker. I didn't know manufacturers put that on-stock bikes. That alone makes a huge difference in handling. I wish I could test ride this and the others.
in Italy everyone rides 110 on 250f i was in shock 100 only for a 125 there
What’s that mean? I’m a rookie coming from riding street.
@@americandude3825 110 is the width of the back tire. a wider back tire allows it to have better traction because there is more surface area on the ground. I have a 2019 and the back tire is I think either a 90 or 100 width tire. I believe that is CM.
@@businessbro7274 ahh ha. Makes sense. Thanks.
Them welds on that frame look like terrible.
Ive never seemnone break i think its just the style they went for
Hey the little asian kids that made the bikes tried their hardest
2 strokes! Nowwwwww!
5:05 Does the lower to mid range nature of the Yamaha make it less stressful on the engine compared to the Kawasaki and the Austrians, where maybe it will last longer before requiring a rebuild? Or does it not really make a difference in that regard?
Yamaha pulls better than all those bikes. Also the motor is the most reliable one out of the bunch. A lot of magazines will say that as well. They say over the course of the year of all the bikes Yamaha is the less problematic bike with no major issues!
That bike is AMAZING !!!!!!!
I want this bike soo bad. Might pick one up next year.
Ya don’t listen to this guy he is such a hater. I’ve rode a lot of these bikes and Yamaha does everything amazingly! Best motor, suspension, and not as wide as he makes it sound!
@@bradymxr4659 .....Agree.
@@bradymxr4659 i know yamaha is everything i live for, everything i’ve ever ridden.
@@bradymxr4659 lol i knew you were lying when you said motor
Is the bike thinner?
How does this stack up against the new 22 ktm 250 factory edition?
Not sure but I do know Yamaha is rated number one for reliability across the board.
Yeah Yamaha yz 250 cc bike for me as I short rider thanks moto cross action first class
This is my dream. But I’m scared to learn to wheelie and enjoy two wheels on the ground. So I work a desk job and drive a van.
Note: those body welds at 2:30 are terrible.
My 2021 YZ250F is fuckin amazing.
Man the forks are high up in the triple clamps!
Stock height is 7mm. Its good. I go back and forth between 5 and 7
Why are the frame welds so crude
My thought exactly.
Is that price buying straight from Yamaha or through a dealer
Bought one yesterday through a Yamaha dealer in Arizona ran me $6.3k but got it down to 6k
@@arco4936 what dealer ? I’m looking for one.
@@arco4936 are you serious? Here in Oklahoma they are 8600. If I can get one that much cheaper I'll drive my ass to Arizona for it
@@Stinky_sack yes plus I might be looking to sell it in 6 months
Lol the yz450 handles just as fine! You guys and these shroud complaints is ridiculous.. I hop off the Yamaha on to a Kawasaki or Honda and really isn’t a huge difference! Matter of fact try measuring across from radiator to radiator there isn’t a huge difference at all. And the app is better than any other bike period! Plus the fact you really don’t need aftermarket parts to make the bike go faster where is the app helps that out a lot and saves you money. You sound like a hater compared to other testers.lol
didnt you just troll the swap moto test and say the same thing about the whole wide thing ?? lol
Just got a new 2022 kx250 have a yz 250f the Kawasaki wins in every category just got done riding with their buddy let you ride the wavy the first half of the ride then we switch first thing you said when we got done what's how much better the Kawasaki was I never even told him what I like better handling. Suspension. Comfort. And power the kx was better. I'm in the car business however they do new vehicle reviews and comparisons I usually laugh most of the so-called best vehicles I just driven by hype everybody getting on the bandwagon and usually promotion and political stuff. I'm realizing this is true with dirt bikes I was a hardcore Yamaha man till I got the Kawasaki 2 days ago
😂 Sounds like...
Put a 22 YZ250 2-stroke motor in that chassis and then you'll have the perfect bike.
No.. the yz 250 2 stroke in its own chassis is perfect the way it is..
Give us adjustable valves.
Is it true you have to service timing chain every 5 hours
only when racing at highest level
No
I do mine every 50
No, ours has 40hrs no issues
How do you service it. I’m coming from riding street.
Where is the 125
The bike won sx ok not the rider lol.
YZ250 21/22 any difference?
37.8 HP
Thought it was the 250 2 stroke! It's an F YUK
yam needs some better welders.
tooth paste in the dark look welds
The 2022 KX welds are extremely thick! I’m sure they are all welded by robot machines tho ?
You mean like ktm with their cracked frames? :)
@@skyliner33alb definitely robots, but they could be dialed in a better. that just looks terrible.
That is terrible! I’ll have to go to a dealer and look. Not a good look.. I love the bike tho
Turkey: 12.748$
The manufacturers intentionally put the better accessories and parts on the four strokes instead of their two-stroke if they do the same to the two-stroke including that better frame that the four-stroke has nobody would buy the four-stroke.
John 3:3 Ephesians 5:4 in the Bible
Soundtrack is distracting, :facepalm:
Replace it with content, or just ditch it.
Flagship not Flag shift lol
Why don't they paint the frames?
Because stainless steel is sexy and overtime it would chip or fade.
@@jeremy_beckers stainless steel is nice but the frames are aluminum you banana!
@@gordis1623 you got me
Stainless steel ??? I'd assume it was aluminum.
The 3 clones "Gaskavarna" KTM must think we are all stupid its the same bike with a different fucking name.
They deleted the holes from 2021 in the air box lid ! Which is a backwards step . Yamaha’s outlast all the others mechanically, KTM, Husq , Gas gas , all clones with questionable engine life !
My 2022 has the holes
Dude quit acting like the Yamaha is soooo much wider than the Honda! It’s not even a 1/4 inch.. if you think you feel 1/8 to 3/16 with you knees you are crazy. Like they say the mind can play tricks on you. You look at an air box without a gas cap can mess with your mind. Place a cap there once. My friends and have switched bikes and can’t tell a difference..
can i have any of the dirt bike please?
This is the dumbest thing I’ve read today
Get a job..lol
What? 1.8 no way! My, INR blood level, = 1.8! Damn stupid! Who, twitches with her, crown on? Did you, guess alot?
Please stop with the heavy rock
looks a bugger to work on the motor.
It’s honestly not, you probably can’t tell from my picture but I have a 2021 yz 250f and it’s the easiest motor to work on, just from the bolts and nuts being in easy to reach spot but also not being a ridiculous pattern like torx, we pulled the engine for full rebuild and had the bike running again in 3 hours for a race the next day
It's Blue.. hell nah.
Ktm better and always will be the motor is so strong yea ktm cost a bit more than other brands but it's a reason because every thing they do isn't cheap
yz better
Statistically speaking Yamahas are more reliable than any other brand. Honda second. Suzuki and Kawasaki are tied for third. Cost less to own and maintain also.
With that said, those four, KTM, husqvarna are all quality machines.
Rode a 2021 yesterday didn't like anything about it Honda is superior in every way
that 2022 looks sooooo good!
I’ve had the opportunity to ride the 21 Honda and Yamaha. I now own a Yamaha. The Honda is a turd
I have a 21’ yz250f and a ‘22 crf250r, I ride the Honda my son rides the Yz. We’re both faster on the Yamaha, better bottom hit and handling is more stable and the suspension is a lot smoother on a rough track, so you can push it more, especially running fast up chopped up jumps with acceleration bumps. Yamaha just smooths out the track.
I own a Honda and loved this bike way more
Yamaha is definitely way better than my Honda.
Don't compare the y250f to a pos KTM
