2022 Yamaha YZ250FX Rides Porterfield Lake Single Track! 

Did you add a fan to your 250fx ?

@@livingforjesuschrist7761 yes I bought the GYTR fan.

Great stuff, I'm recieving mine in 2 weeks, can't wait. I get a little nervous when not moving fast enough while hitting the single tracks.

Sweet! Bring your bug spray! We also rode Bass Lake.

🤙

Thanks Bart! U.P. Is a completely different world and terrain than the lower peninsula.

Sure was! We hit it before the ferns start to overtake it.

It’s a good trail! Yes right now you probably would have very poor visibility due to ferns. First or second week in June is perfect!

Thanks Mike!

@@Captain250FX Do you have a spark arrestor on your bike? I know mine didn’t come with one.

@@mikeelliot8904 yes I just threw in a Fisch moto arrestor.

@@Captain250FX was it quieter or the same snappy sound.

@@Captain250FX Do you remember what size yours was? I about to order the same one but my bike isn’t around to measure it right now. Keep up the good work on the videos. Fun to watch someone with the same bike!

Nice!

So much more than I showed on the video! You need to make a trip north sometime. We have tons of single track!

It’s similar to Evart but a little harder and definitely tighter.

@@Captain250FX nice to know.

Thanks Tom, it’s a sweet trail!

That’s what I here about Moss Lake, probably his that one next spring. We just ran out of time this year.

Thanks Jon! Still using the GoPro 8 shooting in 4k@30fps in Superview!

Thanks for watching! I always use Superview in 4k@30fps. Always use superview for dirt bike videos and also 4k. If you use 1080p it just gets all pixelated when you upload online. If you upload to RU-vid in 4k it forces RU-vid to assign your video a VP9 codec which is what you want. Hope this helps!

Hi Captain: Thanks for the tips on the Gopro settings. I'll try them next time out. Another quick question if I may.... This is my wife's first year on dirt bikes, so we're looking for good beginner trails. Could you make some recommendations please. We live in Holland and have a cabin near Luther . I went out on the Little Manistee for a ways but it was pretty whooped out. Suggestions please?

@@OFOffroad Little O, Cedar Creek are decent beginner trails. Everything in Michigan will have sand and whoops. Also M20 in White Cloud, Michigan is probably the easiest.

Still using the GoPro 8 shooting in 4k.

@@Captain250FX nice

Working Saturday, but thanks. Hopefully I can get up that way next spring. Bass Lake is a 7hr drive for me! 🤪

Thanks, will do!

Very true! You have to make a yearly trip out of it and hit other trails in the area.

Definitely easier, but still tight! It’s a great trail!

The FX’s are a really aggressive bike, I need to have a bike I can count on! If your like me and keep a bike several years the Yamaha is hands down a better bike. KTM is shit in my opinion, built to be the lighter usually means less longevity. I know several people that have switched from KTM to these FX’s and said they would never go back. If I switched to anything it would probably be a Beta. It’s really hard to beat the Yamaha though, I would only get another bike if it was a secondary bike.

And thanks for watching!

@@Captain250FX I can't agree more. Bought my WR new, have over 230 hours on it and it has performed flawlessly with no issues. So far it's never let me down and inspires such confidence on the trails. I'm looking forward to their 2023 lineup. If I upgrade it will be blue. By the way I'm here in GA and ride Highland Park quite a bit. Thanks for your thoughts.

@@spindrift2582 sweet! I should be going to highland again this coming January!

🤙🏽

Just have fun is about it! It’s a great and semi-technical trail.

Thanks Cap! Sage Advice!!!

Yes, we stayed at Rippling River campground in Marquette. It’s close to all the trails we rode and is a awesome campground!!

Definitely more technical but still a lot of fun, highly recommend!
