You might be surprised how often I've gotten questions over the years from viewers about switching from the 4 stroke bikes to the 2 stroke bikes. Many people haven't ridden a modern 2 stroke dirt bike but have become really interested in them as they have become more and more popular, especially in the off road segment.
So here is a little list of things to think about and to help make the transition easier.
You can also subscribe to my SMS (text message) list to be the first to know when I'm doing things. I don't plan on spamming anyone and you can opt out at any time. This gives you entries as well.

I totally agree with your advice on two-stroke low-to-mid logging and shifting a lot but that is only 4 the newer Trail Offroad two strokes it is totally opposite riding Motocross though I think you should have pointed that out motocross bikes have a huge mid-range hit-and- rev to the Moon

@freddeford5543 2 года назад

I've gone from 2t to 4t, back to 2t, and now both for many of the same reasons that you've mentioned, mostly that each has its appropriate environment. Even on street bikes, I've got a big adventure bike, a comfortable sport edged standard, a 450 motard, and a classic 2t twin. Each has its use, and I couldn't dare pick one of them as a favorite, because it all depends where I'm going and who I am with.

@travdirtbikejunkie 3 года назад

I think most of this advice is great. However what I commonly see is people buying 300s who only know how to ride the bike on low end and have not learned how to really get the power out of a 2-st. If you watch the pros ride when it gets super steep they are riding on top end and clutching. That is how they get maximum power and traction on super steep climbs. I get the average guy this might not be applicable. But if you want to advance your skills you need to learn this technique. A good way is to learn is start on a 125/150. This will force you to learn to have great clutch control and really work power out of 2-st

Another good vid mate. Timely, as after growing up on 2 bangers and then thumpers for last 15 years, I made the move to the TPI 300 for last 18 months which has been an experience I had to do. But, whilst I loved so many aspects mentioned in your video, I’m heading back to a new Kato 500. Overall. I found that for whatever reason I didn’t ride as fast as I think I could on these new frames in a 500. Particularly long technical fast and slow hill climbs was a punish on the 300 verse a thumper. I think you should have mentioned you have to be a bit fitter and you much busier on the 2 banger than a thumper. I was worried about engine breaking but no issue at all. TPI is awesome. I had fun and they are awesome but for the overall mixed and varied terrain we ride over here, I’m pumped to get back to 500. ……inspired me though to get a 250 2 anger for the motor x tracks where I can ring it’s neck.🤛

for mixing gas, i bought small, cheap plastic bottles with lids and pre-poured the right amount for 5 gal. i keep them in the van and they're always ready to go without any measuring and no messy cup to clean up or store at the gas station. amazon had 8 oz bottles with screw lids that worked out to the proper mixture for the amsoil stuff.

you should ALLWAYS mix oil fuel as the manufacturer says, never use less oil!!! it will take power away from the bike and it will not last as long! the more oil, the more power! believe me, it is a science in it slef, but there is one very good video out there that tell exactly why you should never use wrong ratio, it just makes your bike run not as it is supposed to ;-)

I sometimes get the clutch half way in on braking zones with both motorcycles, eliminates engine braking on 4 strokes and prevents me from stalling, on the two stroke I do it to lower those rpms when there is no oil going into the piston, it was a easy transition for me, love my new 2 stroke, wouldn't go back anytime soon!

@@snowfreak551 I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. I like both for all the riding I do and just switched from an '18 TE250 to a '21 WR250F. The WR allowed me to dump most engine braking for a 2 stroke feel on tighter single track and with a push of a button it'll get up and scoot. With that said, before I did the TE, I had been on 450's for years and those I'll never go back to. These 250's just seem to be more fun. I came real close to buying a TE150 last weekend just to have something to trade off on.

@runtimmytimer 3 года назад

I have a WR250R. What I've learned is the DOT tires suck, the bike is heavy for how I'm using it (300#) and my trails are way more technical that I originally thought they would be. I'm definitely looking to switch to 2 stroke. What I need to decide is if I'm ditching the dual sport or not. I'm leaning towards keeping it just because it's paid for. It's not a bad bike, but it's not a great bike for how I'm using it. It's under powered for road use for sure and the seat is horribly uncomfortable.

@aaronbright5028 3 года назад

It should be a natural habit to pull the clutch in while slowing down from high rpm. You can hold more momentum from coasting in with the clutch in and then braking slightly later. This also let's a 4 stroke rev down and feel lighter to move around like a 2 stroke.

@Andrew-Knecht 2 года назад

Would you clutch in while braking and downshifting when slowing down or could you slow down using the brakes and just downshift without using the clutch?

@aaronbright5028 2 года назад

@@Andrew-Knecht you can do that but it's not a very aggressive riding style. There will be certain corners on a track where this could be fast but either in the woods or on the track you should always have the clutch in while slowing to corner. While the clutch is in you can downshift as many times as you want but remember that you don't want to be in first and let the clutch out if your still going 35...unless your on the limiter ✊

@Andrew-Knecht 2 года назад

@@aaronbright5028 yea makes sense. What about rev matching? When you downshift all the way down I figure even going slow you wouldn’t let the clutch out but rather slip the clutch while giving gas.

Not so sure that 4t stall less than 2t because of # of times they fire (3000 vs 1500 per his comments)....but more to do with flywheel weights, crank weights and stroke to bore ratios. Most of the modern 4t are short stroke motors that do stall more often...but the old 4t like the XR's rarely stall and have excellent grunt down low largely due to heavy reciprocating parts and longer strokes.

Honestly rebuilding a 4 stroke isn’t that hard. The only mechanical experience I have is learning what I need to do when something breaks on my car. I have an old ttr 125 that’s been sitting for over 10 years. Decided to tear it down and rebuild it having no experience or idea what I’m doing. Got it apart. I’ve rebuilt the entire top end, all gaskets replaced, valves cleaned and adjusted, new cams and chain, new piston, oil pump gasket. Everything has been fixed or repaired and I had no idea what the hell I was doing. Had no idea how to time and engine (turns out it’s super easy) here we are 3 weeks later (bc of part delivery time) and I only needed to buy one new socket for the job and the old ttr is running brand new from a project I had no idea to do. Basically what I’m saying is yes there’s a lot more to a 4 stroke but if you Put in mininal amounts of time to understand it and how it works it’s super easy to do. Now I’m rebuilding a CRF 150R I got for dirt cheap on Fb marketplace since I’m now addicted to rebuilding bikes. Gonna convert it to a trail bike. Add a heavier flywheel, re-jet the carb, add new cams, adjust rider weight and rebuild the front suspension. (Again all things I’ve never done but once I figure out how it works from a visual inspection it’ll be easy as cake.) Also got a DR-Z 125 I’m gonna be upgrading to a 150cc kit and possibly rear disc brakes bc I hate drum brakes. I’m interested in trading the ttr for a smaller KX or similar mini 2 stoke and mess around with those. That or a new pit bike to screw around on at pit tracks.

Facts. Same with most of the dual sports especially the Honda’s and the Kawasaki’s even though kawi is getting better at it

I would love to hear the 2 to 4 as I have never felt comfortable on the 4

4 strokes suck

@2Smoke-AClae47 6 месяцев назад

I ride mostly 2 and I hate getting on a 4 mostly because of the engine breaks it feels really weird to Me. I like being able to coast, and so much more clutch control on a 4 in tight single track

Opposite for me. Only ever rode 2 strokes, 4 strokes a whole new thing for me.

Awesome!!! I just sold my KTM 450 EXC and I've got a 2022 Sherco 300 SE Factory coming, thanks for the tips 👍

When you come from 4 strokes and want to ride 2 strokes? First advice: you have to learn to ride a Real dirt bike👍

@stevedouglas1654 3 года назад

Always 2 strokes. Plus they sound way better ! 💯👍

@AllanSmith859 3 года назад

I think of 4 strokes like a nice small block V8 and the 2 strokes like a rice burner

@trav3510 trav3510 Totally agree. My 97 YZ285 sounds great like my son’s mint 03 RM125 with the shorty silencer

I just switched to a 22 300 xc-w from owning a 2014 250 xcf-w for the last 8 years. I honestly don’t love it as much as I thought I would. It’s better on hill climbs and not stalling. But I seem to get lots of arm pump which I never had on my old bike. Also like he said on any open roads 4-strokes leave me in the dust. I also dented my pipe a few times which I never had to deal with on my four stroke.
