L0l 😂 nice one! I am on that road right now.. went from yz250f to yz125, now considering a yz250 or cr500 😂 any tips btw ? Hahaha. Am 100kg skinny, prolly 110-120 if I’d be fat, feels like my 125 has issues dragging me but scared that a 250 or 500 would be way too much 😂
@@okerhrh4139 it probably would be too much. I'd keep the bike the suits you and then on top get a more powerful bike because if the only bike you have is way too powerful for you then you can easily mess yourself up
He was mainly referring to the connecting rod length being longer on the '22. A longer rod allows more dwell time at TDC, which not only clears the chamber better but also pulls away from TDC slower, which gives the cylinder more time to fill. Increasing the overall efficiency in multiple ways, especially the added cooling effect the denser fuel charge has on combustion.
Great video Max, very informative, the dyno guy certainly knows his stuff, looking forward to the track test and you making that Yamaha scream, top quality again Max.
hello from greece.I really like your videos. I would like to see rare mx bikes racing or testing ,for example the aprilia twin v cylinder…Happy new year
Nice job/description of the bike and changes + what you can still do to it to get more performance out of it. I would have liked to hear more about the other bikes in comparison. I believe you said that you will have that for us soon at the end of the video though. So thanks for the video. I've actually only road a 1988-90. YZ 80 back in probably 95-96. I have to say that I was impressed with that bike all around. The size, the power, weight and even reliability. I don't know why I went to a CR 125 instead of another Yamaha 🤔 and stuck with Honda since then. Probably because jumping that CR 125 30ft+ high and 50 to 90+ft out, Landing those gaps and heights was like... driving a Cadillac when you just got done driving a 79 Ford Pinto.
Thx for a good video. Can you please try to get a GYTR kit for the bike and dyno that? Then you also have a good base line for your tuner to work against ;-)
I got the 2021, and honestly im happy because the updates are new and nobody knows how reliable the new changes are. just my perspective but I do wish I got the 2022
Hi max, I met you at vip the other day. If your still struggling to find a 22 to ride you can always have a borrow of mine. Just fitted a gytr pipe brought from hardcore and it has properly woke the bike up.
Sorry to state what may be obvious, but some of the comments lead me to believe there is a bit of confusion. The 34.1hp Roland saw, is wheel hp, not flywheel hp. Using the 15% compensation factor commonly touted, the flywheel hp would be 1.15 x 34.1 = 39.22 hp.
Hey max love the looks of the new YZ, but I’m a little disappointed with the numbers I was sure it would’ve been a bit more, still a great bike nonetheless, thanks
Great video again , I've got 6 hours on my 22 yz125 and I love it. Also I thought it ran cooler as my friends 2021 always seem to feel a lot hotter so that's good to have it confirmed ! Can I ask what oil fuel ratio he's running ? Thanks
There is one man, who make the difference Harald Bartol , the master of tuning @yamaha125cc, gilera, after that the godfather of the development the KTM 125cc winning bike!
29bhp? I'd love to get my hands on a YZ250x from what I've seen it would suit my riding styles and capabilities! Great video max! It looks like ROLAND is the uk's go to guy for HGS EXHAUSTS!!
For those who heard and understood the man spiting info, there was alot of good stuff I mean alot well done.. that being said you missed a key piece of information. How much was it 🤔 vs the others?
I guessed 33 hp. So not miles off, but pleasantly surprised. Edit. But it makes me think again, how good a 4 cyl 600 road bike would be. 130 hp at the rear wheel and 130 kg dry wouldn't be impossible numbers.
I’ve found several 2022 yz125’s with a shifting issue. Detent spring for shift drum pops out of place. All low hour bikes. A fix should be coming from Yamaha soon.
@@ssmokinu really? I was just going off personal experience seeing other bikes, I've only ever got to ride a 2002-2004 and of course my 2001 so I'm not to sure what's out there for other models with a 6 speed, what year did they start to reintroduce ?
Sorry to hear that considering the Yamaha yz125 puts 39.22 hp! They gave you rear wheel hp not flywheel hp… plus I’d take the Yamaha over a KTM for them being way more reliable.

I can tell you straight, I've owned both from new recently and the sx 150 is noticeably more Powerfull when compared to a yz 125. In terms of outright power the sx 125 also out powers the yz 125.

Every dyno is different. The only way to compare the hp between the KTM and Yamaha would be the run them on the same dyno and the same day or weather conditions. The KTM could very well have 3 more HP but its really necessary to run them on the same dyno when you compare side by side hp numbers.
Chasing the power dragon leads you down the road to 500s.. it happened to me, and I regret nothing!

go with the yamaha. i have 05 yz125 and i like it way more than my friends 2013 150sx
The KTM will eat the YZ for lunch, there's no comparison.

Whoa a 125 making 32hp!!! At the wheel!!! Woe
My 91 KX 125 had 32hp from the factory. It was on it's "birth certificate". So over 30 years ago.

When you change the coolant after a few seasons or so.. use OEM Yamaha coolant it's 60/40 pre-mixed .
@@Davido50 I’ll make sure I do , makes a change as I use to be able to fry an egg on my old CR

I had a 16 yz250x with a 325 kit. Best bike I've owned.
Id like to see the yz65, yz85 also being tested on the dyno
How can you dyno it without sitting on the bike??? The tire was bouncing on the roller.
Best 125 on the market 👍
On the dyno from VHM the 2022 YZ125 has almost the same curve as the Beta 125RR. I'm surprised I don't hear more talk about the beta.

Remember these numbers are at the wheel, not the crank. Heard it's around 42hp at the crank?

Come on Kawasaki give us what we're wanting KX125 250 2strokes

No Fuel Injection 🤔

I’m thinking 40 maybe
Hi
Thanks for dropping in :)
thats not the monster energy version either the monster energy versions are faster
It's just a sticker kit, unfortunately. No mods at all on the monster editions
Don’t think this would stand a chance against a husky 125 , like 40hp
I’m pretty sure husky’s 125 tx or tc are standard 40 hp , or just slightly under
Fastest 125 by a mile
@Rossi Carmichael mate there 40hp , have a look at the specs on a husky tx 125
This is a 2019 model , 29.2KW
wheel power on husky is 36
Its "Y-ZEE" not "Y Zed"
About as power full as the 1997 yz125
I guess 37
I was really wrong...
Lol It wasn't a bad guess though! That's what the KTM's are pumping out
Everyone wearing Yamaha gear. "This is the nicest 2 stoke I have ever come across" LOL. Sorry bud, but this video is just a Yamaha advertisement.
The 22 has 1 more hp over 21. Pfft
33
