2021 Kawasaki KX250F
Location:
Cowbranch MX in North Carolina - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I have a 21 KX250 and i find that it just pulls forever, its also more confident and comfortable when its ridden high up in the rev range
Yup it's a sweet bike! I gotta rev it up more
Yes I agree 💯 I'm 225 lbs and it will bog out on jump face if I'm not up on the RPM. IT is amazing on the whoops!!
Another day, another vid and a smile on my face!
cant stop watching the vids keep it up. still my favourite youtuber btw.
I appreciate that so much dude !
yo i love these vids sm. keep puttin out the awesome vids man 🤘
appreciate that dude !
Looks smoother tbh
love the vids i have been waching for a little bit i am just saving up to buy a yz125 i am not that close but i dream to see that day you are the man for showing me the life of the dirt bike
Keep saving up ! hopefully you can get that YZ125 soon and rip it 🤘🏼
Got a 24 kx250 as my first full size bike. Had a ton of power is is actually pretty good in the woods and in semi techy rocks, the gearing is definitely not for the riding I do but over all I love it.
it's a sweet bike man hope you enjoy it!
lovely bike 💚
Its important to feel comfortable on the bike so good on ya!
definitely feel more comfortable on my Yamaha but the Kawi felt good on this track
Bro I live 15mins from that track. I always watch your videos 🤙🏽🔥cool you came to NC dawg
Love Cowbranch man such a fun track! Thanks for watching the videos bro I appreciate it 🤘🏼
Super nice riding as usual!
thanks Drummer!
Bro Nice you keep uploading love that
Thanks for watching the videos Bobby 🤘🏼
Derek posting every 3 days? Nooo waaay!!🎉 love them, follow you on tiktok as well -Jimmy
I'll try to keep up the constant uploads for ya Jimmy!
I didn't know you rode at cowbranch. I like that track it is really fun. Sadly every time we ride there is poors and rains on us but it still is a fun track in the rain.
It's a great track! I'll be there tomorrow if you wanna ride
Still have yet to ride cow branch. Personally think you seem more comfy on the yamaha. Keep rippin man. Content is great
Cow Branch is a great track and the owner is such a nice guy. I highly recommend you try it out. About the bikes... I'm def faster and comfier on the Yamaha you're right. I appreciate you watching the vids dude!
@@DerekHallman hell yeah dude! been watching since your rmz days! Ironically I now have a rmz lol. Theres a bit more done to it than yours but still love the videos man. Also seeing a lot of my local tracks is so cool
In my opinion, Kawi make some of the best 4 strokes, I used to own a 16 KX250F, thing started first kick every time
Have the same one also 16’ but I feel like my rmz250 14’ has a lot more grunt and corners way better
another day, another derek hallman W
Derek you should visit GTR complex in Gaston SC they just built 2 new tracks with huge jumps come visit
About 7 hours away - long drive! Maybe some day
SC???🤔🤔
How u like it compared to your yammy? Ive only ever ridden yammy and honda
I’ve been in the market for a 250f for a while now but I’m so torn on what I want
Looking at either the Kawi, Yamaha or even maybe KTM
If you had to keep only one of the bikes which would you keep? Your Yamaha or the Kawi?
I have a Yami, Kawi and KTM (although the ktm is a 150sx) and if I could only keep one it would definitely be the Yamaha. I feel the most in control, confident, and aggressive on the YZ. I can make an more in depth review of that one too if you want 🤘🏻
@@DerekHallman I appreciate it! I’m going with the Kawi though got a crazy deal on it and I pick it up next week!
I like green! "F" 💚👍 Good track! 👍👊
Dude I need me a new bike my 04 isn’t cuting it I need me a 250rx cuz I ride trails more than tracks but loven the content keep it up dog but be safe doing it.
Hey quick question how tall are you? Cause I’m 5ft 3 and think about buying a yz250f and I was wondering if I would be a good fit for it
I'm 6ft 3in. I don't know if you'll be able to touch the ground at 5'3
Love you Derrick
🥰
Great video
thank you sir
I have a 2013 KX250F, it’s the love of my life, I only have the white coupler and black coupler, I heard that leaving it unplugged will default to the green one, at least someone said that about the 2021, if it’s the same on the 2013 then green feels way slower than the other 2, the black one feels most aggressive to me
The black one is the smoothest and least aggressive, the green is the 'standard' mapping, and the white one is the most aggressive hit mapping. The white one is good for deep soil but I prefer the green one overall.
@@DerekHallman oh yea okay, thanks for that. I’ve only got maybe 40 odd hours on my KX since we got it last September, I haven’t done any actual track riding yet but hoping to at somepoint, just mainly some trails, gravel roads, and a small track we have on a block. Anyway great vid bro, you’re getting real good with your riding, keep up the good content and stay safe
The 23 suspension is very stiff.. I softened it and slowed it down to and just not enough for me. Also I’m very light and wasn’t getting very deep into the stroke. Got the suspension done and oh man a completely different bike
We gotta get together and compare bikes! Do you know what spring rate you put in your forks?
@@DerekHallman I’m down, and Idk off the top of my head have too look at the specs.
Can you link the bars you bought? Im trying to find something a little more comfortable for having short arms
Renthal Fat Bar in the 821 Bend. My favorite bar 🤘🏻
@@DerekHallmans it the ones that say fat bar 1-1/8 821 short/mcgrath
@@Tice55 yup those are the ones
Will this suit me at 5'7 260lbs i have a kx85 rn to small and i flatten the suspension
Hey I’m 31 yrs old and never rode a dirt bike much more then 10 minutes before , I’m currently looking for one to learn . Would you recommend a 250 2 stroke or 4 stroke as a learner bike . I’m about 5’9 190 lbs . Thnx
Definitely reccomend a 250 4 stroke as a first learner bike 👍🏻
I ride blue,but I look great in green....prefer red!!!
8:11 what do you mean by that? I got my 08 kx250f reverently and was looking for some tips
Could you explain what you meant there so I can try it?
Feathering the clutch means pulling the clutch in enough to disengage it while simultaneously revving the throttle to bring the engine rpms up without fully spinning the wheel. It keeps the rpms high so you don't need to shift down a gear for a corner.
@@DerekHallman oh we call thag clutch slipping here sorry for wasting your time man
nice
That thing looks brand new for only being a 2021!
It's clean for sure!
Yep
Are you going to do a midway year fails video but aside that great video your super undrrated
I do my fails videos at the end of each year 🤘🏻
@@DerekHallman ok cheers mate keep up the great vids
whast kinda levers do u have
man i wish there would be time the local tracks would be that empty to practice... its minimum 100 riders at the tracks where i live
This was a Monday at about 5:30pm in 92 degree heat haha not many people out riding then.
@@DerekHallman oh 🤣
You normally stay 2nd or go to 3rd gear on your kx?
I'm 3rd gear pretty much entire video
@@DerekHallman I just gotta send it a little more 😂🫡
Do you have the guts wing seat cover? How is t?
It's just a standard guts seat cover. Guts seats have been my favorite.
@@DerekHallman I think I’m gonna give it a go for my Crf250r. Do you have any affiliate link so I can support you?
@@tralblazemedia I don't have any affiliate link for guts, but I greatly appreciate you thinking of me man. Just the thought means a lot.
How many hours does the kawi have?
My 2021 KX250 has around 80 hours
Will the ktm ever make a return?
Getting the KTM ready to rip as we speak 🔥
I don't own one but I love the green, wanted the 23 kx 250x, but the dam thing is way too tall, maybe when I get better riding ill pick one up.
Does your Beta 200 seem like a lower seat height?
@@DerekHallman most definitely, thats why I bought it, 36.5".
Love my 17’ kx250f I’ll send just about anything on any track in my district. #district14
Doesn't this have a very similar engine to the YZ250F if not the same?
Nah they are completely different engines. Very different.
@DerekHallman saw a KX250F for sale on Facebook and the engine looked extremely similar to the YZ250Fs, the KX250F was an 08 and the YZ250Fs I've been seeing for sale are between 01-08, just curious if Kawasaki and Yamaha maybe shared an engine at one point that or the heads are similar in design
@@Vazerin kawasaki and suzuki shared basically everything around 05. The two bikes were pretty much identical. I don't think the yamaha was similar back then either. My KX is a 2021 and my YZ is a 2022. Nowadays they are drastically different. The engine on the Yamaha is even backwards in the frame compared to every other brand. Instead of the air filter being behind you under the seat, the intake is in front of you on top of the bike, the spot where other brands have gas caps.
@DerekHallman huh, that is weird, yeah I don't know a whole lot about dirtbikes but a little about quads since i had 4, a TRX250X, TRX400EX, YFZ450R, and Pred 500, been looking to buy a used 4 stroke dirtbike and saw a KX250F for sale so I watched your vid to see how well it is
Where are your 2 strokes?
Just fired up the 2 stroke today and I'm riding it tomorrow 🤘🏼
@@DerekHallman Oh good! Thought you might have been done with em after that crash
What’s this track called
Cowbranch MX
The YZ sounds so much better.
Definitely agree with that 🤘🏼
I cant see why someone pics the Kawasaki other than it looks cool... Its set up for a pro but a pro blows that up within 6 months.... So the pro goes straight to KTM or Yamaha for a decent lasting machine.
2t 150 vs 4t 250??? Trail ride😊 not motocross
Where is the sx 150
Check my Instagram story 👀
KTM is superior but I love this video anyway
I'll get my KTM out for the next ride 😎
2 Strokes >>>
Hell yeah! 2 stroke for life! (4 strokes can still be fun though)
I'll get the 2 stroke out for the next ride
@@DerekHallman love your videos man!
Switched from gas gas to ktm to yam, now have kx, I'm stopping at that
you like your kawi more than all those others?
@@DerekHallman yeah I do but I managed to buy an ex gp bike so probably the cone valve forks and trax shock make it so good
feel like u could’ve been up a gear and it would’ve been better
nah I was barely revving it
If you want a fast start get a Honda
