You're doing so good man! Just all I gotta say is stand up more! And i know that's a big ask and you will fall but that's what you need for this type of training!
Great video! Thanks for the insights, since apex shares and suggests rejetting it. Is there a sure way to know if the calmness of the bike is solely due to dome ? I’m thinking to play with jetting first before buying the dome to calm the bike down.
I like videos like this. I feel like edits of riding went out of style a few years ago and it's all about single insta clips or youtube vlogs. This stuff just makes me want to ride
Rode some similar trails in squamish in june, was awesome to see the western side of canada, your trails are so good, i'll have to setup something like that here in QC.
Yooo! Thanks for stopping by! Please be sure to subscribe and drop a comment letting me know what kind of content you like to see! I have a few more videos in the works... just need to find some time to edit the darn things! Cheers!
@Poppawheelie-jj1vd I'm not no... its the best available option. I just didn't feel like I needed it. But if you want an estart it's a valid choice for sure
@@JasonHamborg I had a Panthera and really wasn’t impressed. I actually became a dealer at my motorcycle and Atv shop and sold several kits and had decent luck with them except for leaking problems and he was a little difficult with warranty parts. Just wondering about the other option. Mine wouldn’t start at the ozark 100 miler a couple of years ago and took it off and sold it when I got back home. Thanks for your input!
Enjoy watching the videos!! On the fence about getting the Apex head for my bike 250x ? Heard great things about the xc dome in the tight woods which is what I ride most but I ride a little bit of Mx as well. I enjoy the overrev of stock head. My question is if I get the xc dome is it going to kill my top end over rev ? I’m overall happy with the bike but would like more torque in the woods, or would I be better off with the Mx or sx dome? Thanks in advance
@@Ricky-l7b haha, terrible mate! Rode bad and had bike issues (fouled a plug on day 1 and fan stopped working day 2 and bike lost all the coolant) a weekend I'd like to forget
I tired contacting/doing business with B-rad. I have cool products I made and would like to sell the design,---but it seems like they don't like doing good business with people. I could never find a way to talk with a human being for a reasonable conversation about the possibilities. I see that as immature, to be hidden, (while trying to do good business), for some odd reason. No phone number---no business with me. Business is personal to me.
I port and stroke 2-stroke engines for a living, (little ones, but same concepts), and I have some easy mods to gin a lot more, (and smooth) low end power for the YZ 2-strokes. I have a 2019 250, and I think the head was lowered compression from about 2011, and my mods use my stock head. All mods are reversible. First, the bolt on parts: The YZ250 is made with high rpm power in a futile effort to keep up with a 450 on a fast 450 track. Ain't gonna happen. The bike is very tall, and has a terrible engine for the woods, (or tight MX tracks of old). 1) I use a FMF Gnarley pipe, that has a lower rpm peak power point than my stock (YZ MX, not X), pipe. Quality is very good, but the stinger mount is clocked a bit off around the stinger tube. I bent the aluminum mounting bracket a bit so it sits flush. The rest of the pipe is fantastic quality, and it ads smooth lower rpm power. 2) V-force reeds. The stock top reed stop plate block off about 50% of the rear reed boost port, (plate can be cut down), and you lose a bit of power because the port does not clean out the top/rear edge of the head as well as it could, (using 90 octane gas will detonate there first, because hot exhaust gas still exists there most.).. The V-force reeds do not use a stop plate, (so the port is clear to flow), and the petals open up earlier for more low end power. I am not using the stock aluminum spacer plate between the reed block and the cylinder, for tighter crank case volume and a stronger hit. 3) I lowered the cylinder by not using a stock cylinder base gasket (.5mm I believe), and sealing the cylinder to the cases with a good gasket sealer that holds up to gasoline, (no problems with 3M Nitrilie 847 rubber and gasket adhesive, brown, found at McMaster Carr). It is more important to get a good sealer with this engine (compared to older ones) as the coolant also needs to be sealed under the exhaust port. That 3M product is great stuff, and i apply it with a medical syringe, (cut off needle) for a perfect bead. The lower cylinder does 2 things for more low end power. It raises the compression (need 100 octane fuel now, but it is worth it, and it is harder to kick for the electric starter dependent.), and lowers the exhaust port time area to better match the lower target FMF pipe. That is hwere the "magic happens", when you have the pipe matched to the poritng for the rpm power peak you want. I have the stock gearing still (I usually gear down a bit, and will do so when I need a new chain/sprocket set), and i weigh 200lbs. I can now "short shift" the bike with no clutch, (just let off the gas for the shift), and it will not fall on it's face. Lifting the front end over stuff at lower rpm is now a breeze, but it does not hit too hard for me, (I won't need a flywheel weight for my single track riding). 4) I also lowered my bike .75" ion the suspension and 1" off the seat, for much better cornering and foot dabbing to save a tip over. I got rid of the Batman plastic, and mounted a 175 gram frisbee for a front number plate,---because it made me laugh. Quick release too. :) I also modified a set of Cyra full wrap hand guards to be super compact (made a new inner clamp for the straight section of the bar. Looks like a "flag style" from the front, but super rigid. I would like to sell the design. I could not stand the newer YZ when I bought it. Now,---I absolutely love the bike. It is nice to have the experience to make a bike how you want it. It is also nice,--to know what you want. :) You can make the YZ into a great bike for anything, sans keeping up with a 450 on a modern MX track. Because the stock bike is set up to try to keep up with a 450 on a MX track, the stock bike is not really "great" for anything IMO. Doug in Michigan
4.5 Jetting. Jetting is terribly rich stock. The higher compression did lean it from a black plug to a dark brown plug, and i am still working on cleaning that rest up for the best power possible, Your jetting is still on the rich side son. :)
