Long Live the Kings of 2 Stroke MX the Yamaha YZ 125 & 250!
Had a crf 450 .got rid of it for 2019yz250 2 stroke . I let my brother get on it (we are both in our mid 20s) long story short the smile on his face plus he was clutch riding tf fuck out of it . out of fear haha
great build, love those 2 strokes ...still competitive today! great channel too, subscribed!
Thanks!!
@@dirtbiketv1 will that style rear master cylinder work on a 01 yz250?
What was the total rebuild cost?
Awesome inspirational video! And I am working on riding more and working less like you Cali dudes! 1 more year and I should be there.
Nice
Nice video. Might buy a yz 125 soon.
I'll watch any CZcams clip with Jay Clarke!
How cool
Same! I can watch bike builds for hours with him explaining all of the stuff done to each bike!!
Q maquina preciosa
Why haven't I seen this channel before?
You can than Lundmx for the mention and the follow.
It's beautiful bike this is my dream bike but we can't afford to buy that kind of motor.
designing ktm starter cases for these.
Same number
what year are they
Are you at Pala ?
It much be a conspiracy :-) Have fun on the track or trail---
Dirt Bike TV, going to pick up a 125 this winter, build it up & plan on riding tracks next year. My question is you say run race fuel, or at least half.. So if I'm running half race fuel, am I mixing it with premixed premium pump gas? & should the premix be manufacture specs? Do I need head mods to run half race fuel? I had a 125 before & shot a top end due to detonation I believe. Love the vids, they give great ideas & future plans on which direction to go with my 125
Are you running race gas in the 2017 xc and tx, as well, or is it just the mx bikes?
Just MX bikes we run AV gas-- In the 300s we run Premium pump
I'm 15 and 6'1 I'm getting a 2017 kx250 tomorrow. my clutch work needs work but I think I can handle it if I take it easy for a week or two
Good luck-- hopefully a great bike for you.
WILL no pain no gain 😂 lol
I've got a kx250f goes alright, want a yz125 now though cause there cheap to fix
WILL I wanted a 125 too but I don't think I would enjoy practicing clutch with that powerband
the 2017 250 Kawasaki made the powerband a little more gentle so it's easier to ride
this is great, but there is a funny flaw. You do not have to run race gas to avoid detonation, first it's all in jetting, if you're lean you'll get detonatio. 2 modern fuel maintains the same octane ratings as yesteryear, 3 with anything close to factory jetting there's not way you're going to get detonation.
Now to make sure I cover my butt here, if you're jetting for every bit of power or running high compression obviously you want 110, c16, or some equivalent. I'm just saying most people out there with factory timing and compression won't need race fuel.
Maybe you dont have to but we have found we do. Good luck--
Dirt Bike TV In Boise Id. I've seen lots of two strokes primarily 125s blowing the exhaust edge of the Piston off stock motors stock jetting elevation of 2500' to 3000'
Most likely a bit lean on jetting and also not high enough octane fuel. Start with Stock Jetting and run higher octane and you an avoid that.
I agree. With proper jetting on a stock motor detonation should not be a problem on even 89 octane!
thing to Worry about on an older used Bike is Frame Stress, that's the Biggest overlooked Worry.
That especially applies to steel frames right ? Since the aluminium frames are much more rigid
( just asking )
@@Mxrider92i he doesn't know.
I’m having a VERY hard time deciding between a 125 and 250. Raced 250Fs in SoCal novice (kinda fast). So I’m VERY familiar with 250Fs power and was ringing out the bikes. I’m torn between the 2 cause I don’t want to get a 125 and have it feel underpowered and vise versa a 250 and feel like it’s too hard to control. The YZ250 is $800 more then the YZ125 new. The cost for a pipe, silencer, vforce is about $600 for the 125. Y’all think I’ll be disappointed with the 125 power? On the flip side I was thinking about getting a YZ250, leaving it stock, and adding a fly wheel weight to tame the hit a bit. I like the power of the 250Fs compared to the 450s cause I can ride it to its full potential. But can certainly ride 450s too and have a lot of experience on 450s as well. I’m 26 and 185lbs. It’ll be track only and now that I’m not racing I want to get on a 2 stroke. If I wanted a 4 stroke it would have been easy. 250F. But it’s hard to gauge where the 2 strokes stack up. 125 being closer to 250F power or 250 being closer to 250F power. 125 being a lot slower then a 250F. 250 being a lot faster then a 250F. Oh the dilemma.
Sounds like the YZ250 might be best -- good luck!
250 it is 😎
@@cdub.91 so what bike did you get? Lol
I'm 14 and thinking about getting a 2004 Yamaha yz250 you think i should get it? It has barely any hours on it and is up and running
Of course that depends on your experience and skill level. If just cruising around that can be ok but if on the track that can be a lot of bike for a 14 year old. Good luck
Yea I had a 96 model yz250 when I was 13
What did you end up getting?
All the upgrades probably cost more than a brand new bik6
I'm 13 I've been looking into getting a dirt bike what should I get?? Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha?
Honestly all depends on what you find a good deal on as all brands have good bikes.
Dirt Bike TV but if you had to choose on Kawasaki, which one?
KX85 or KX100 if your 13 ?
nice job! do u think a 2002 yz250 is to old for the same treatment.
Yes if the rest of the bike is still solid-
It's pretty decent. Keep up the great videos thanks
Mark Luciani Not at all. They make great bikes, especially when built up. Some people prefer the older steel frame over the alloy due t9 the way the frame flexes.
Mark Luciani definitely not check out my 2003 yz 250 m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=793104597511897&substory_index=0&id=732514110237613
Way cheaper just to buy new ones.. not to mention all that labor!
Im 5'6 160Ib will I fit on a yz 125
damxn I think you will be fine. Go to a bike shop near you and sit on a few. And I’m pretty sure you can do a few things to lower the bike a little if you had to.
A full sized bike is a full sized bike, regardless of capacity they're all pretty much the same height
@@codenamenoob4973 Most bikes sit 37in seat height. Yamaha is 39in
Kyb? Isn't it SSS?
KYB makes the SSS fork
I'm 14 and 5'4 which would fit me best?
I would stick the 125 if you can.
Dirt Bike TV k I'm going to go to my local dealer today I see if the Yz125 fits thanks :)
CMoto I'm the same age and size as you and believe me the yz125 will be a great choice if your atleast moderately experienced, if your riding track you should have no issue with the seat height
WILL haha I've been riding a yz250 for two weeks now
hahaha good lad, i'm 5'7 and i just manage to tip toe on my yz250 when i lean to the side
This is an advertisement, surely you could have hinted this in the movie title!
I'm 5,7 170lb. Is the 125 too small for me?
Not at all-- To have fun it is perfect. If you want to "race" or battle with guys on 250/450's when you will think it not fast enough. However, the fun factor is good even at 170lbs plus and way cheaper to maintain.
Dirt Bike TV awesome, thanks for the reply, i grew up riding and stopped for about 10 years and I'm looking at an 03 yz125 or a yz250 for about the same price, I'm excited to get back into it
Haha this guys head mate it gets to me it's just one if the shapes that anoy me
All the money you put in it why not just 2018 bike
Bet he’s still in it for less than a new bike and this bike is better than the new ones
