2024 Yamaha YZ250 TEST 

They do everything good on the track and off..and the reliability and cost to maintain them is second to none..plus state of the art suspension still..this generation yz 250 is the GOAT of all 2 strokes

"One of the greatest bikes of all times " Exactly that👏👏👏

I want one so bad, love the fact it is unchanged really and still has kickstart. Retro mans bike

Two Stroke air cooler 1975 YZ250 yellow banana monster was my bike at 14. Tim has changed. Thanks, great video.

DAMON BRADSHAW!!!! Throw back... love it

Got my '24 in Team Yamaha Blue. You are right about it having a hard hit, sheesh!!!

Riders here stay away from 2stroke. Am glad i grew up riding 125 smoker, the yz250 feel right at home, just hits harder.

Great review! Nice bike!

Love the format of this video.

That's What I'm Talkin Bout 🔥👊.. Appreciate ya Fellas ✌️😉

I got one a week ago, but then as the italian version as a fantic xx250

They change the colour like 90' YZ. Bring back my memories of my ride1994 YZ 250. I call it Buffalo for the strength and durability.

The low RPM detonation, (which my bike used to do), happens at the carb side of the cylinder, (mine did on 90 octane, to little really. But it showed where the damage\detonation started/is the worst). The stock reed valve stop plate blocks off about 50% of that rear transfer port tunnel, and hot exhaust gases remain at the head on the intake side, and it starts detonating there. You can cut most of that plate off, or get a v-force reed for more low end power, and use at least 93 octane.

I just want a carb’d 2 stroke 250. No fluff or bs. I have an older CR 250 already. Thank you Yamaha.

Perfect analogy

Man i want one now!! Getting back to 2 strokes soon🥰

I bought a brand new Yz250F and sold it a year later. Great bike but not for me. I like riding my old KX250 better. After I build my house, i will retire my KX as a show piece and replace it with either a Yz or Sx 250

Here’s a little tip from someone who worked at several Yamaha dealerships: yamaha just keeps cranking out the same bike with minor tweaks. They cost nothing to manufacture, literally nothing. Dealers order way too many of them because they cost almost nothing. Never pay retail for a Yamaha 2 stroke. If you walk into a dealer, they’ll have 3 or 4 models boxed from a few years ago and since there’s literally been almost no changes , buying a 2021 model isn’t any different, or a ‘22, etc and you can walk out with a $7900 bike for $4000 all day long cause they’ve got tons of these things in inventory. And if your local dealer doesn’t, just call around.

I wish theyd make an enduro version with a headlight and estart. Theyd steal a huge chunk of the market from ktm.

Clicked on this video knowing it's the same. Still watching

Hello from virginia

I hope they will chance the tripleclamps to 22mm.

Is the engine the same tho ?

I just got mine 😎

Looks like a morgue worker in the white gear😅 10 times lighter? You mean one tenth, surely, but that would be incredibly light

I almost want to buy one just to have it as it doesn't seem like full on commitment from manufactures and feels like one off run.

I was told on a Mexican Yamaha dealer that they are literally illegal to bring into the country :( I have the second best bike being a TC250 2022, the last carburated... became illegal soon afterwards and TPI, EFI, TBI tech is welcomed by Mexican administration.

Great video! Any one want to share this location? Definitely high desert tried to pay attention to land marks, not sure. Thanks

You did not mention that the bike is too tall for the average height of a man or a bit taller. 34 inch inseam may touch the ground. The motor does not have a lot of lower end power, (try a 1997 KX250), and the mid is pretty soft too. It screams on top, with big brakes, in a futile effort to keep up with a 450 on a fast 450 MX track. Ain't gonna happen. Now that the power and seat height is high, it is not good for the woods either. The bike is "great" at nothing. So I fixed mine, and never had to do so much work to make it a great bike, for the woods, (or this track). I can see we forgot how to ride a 2-stroke. You don't need race fuel because you have an aftermarket pipe, but you do need to rejet the carb. The jetting is so rich, you will ruin your jersey from the raw oil droplets coming out of the silencer and sticking to the back of your jersey. I lowered my 2019 .75" suspenders, the seat 1", got rid of the batman plastic, added FMF Gnarly pipe, V-Force reeds, and lowered the cylinder (no base gasket, but seal it well), for higher compression and to get the ex-port time closer to the lower rpm FMF pipe, (where the big gains are made, porting and pipe match). Use 100 octane gas now. Now--this bike has good low end power, can short shift at 190lbs with stock gearing with out it falling on its face, and maybe lost 500 top rpm (forgot to put a tach on it stock. The higher compression also leans the jetting, and I still have about 35% more to go,--but it is not spitting on the jersey now. if you don't know how to set up a bike,--you will not get the best out of this machine.

2 stroke ?people rarelly shift . Most are scared of 2 stroke . Yamaha should teach how to race two stroke . You'll never see people in highest gear . You need very big gear on wheel to run highest . Most gear thhem for 100 mph they ll never go that fast

Go Honda, not Yamahasucki, that would be like building a Kawasuki i think that is how they came up with Yamahasucki.

I miss when these videos didn’t do the premier. I never get to watch these anymore. Go back to normal release please.
