The 2024 YZ125X and YZ250X are Yamaha's cross-country-specific two-stroke models. They both come with 18-inch rear wheels, softer suspension settings, kickstands, and off-road-specific engine tuning. Yes, the engines are based on the YZ125 and YZ250 motocross models, but the power valves are both different for the off-road models and the YZ250X has a wide-ratio five-speed transmission. In this video, Josh Mosiman rides the 2024 Yamaha YZ125X and YZ250X models in Union, South Carolina, at Randy Hawkins' 1100-acre facility on some true GNCC-style tracks and trails.

Need a lap time battle. X vs motocross versions on a MX track and then X vs motocross version on a woods course.

Absolutely love seeing the Offroad tests. As a AA/pro Offroad rider, the 250X is an amazing bike. I’ve been racing one for years. Adding a Suzuki triple tapered needle in the carb makes the power even more smooth and linear off the bottom end. Part # 13383-37FE0

Yamaha is the only one of the Big Four that makes a full size 2-stroke. I wish there was a KX125 or CR125. I wonder why Honda doesn't

@eadonbrosky 5 месяцев назад

I can't decide which model to go with, I like the graphics and performance of the yz250 (50th anniversary) but I want to be able to go slow in the woods when I need too. Not to mention I wouldn't mind a street legal dirt bike which I guess would be a WR model? Would you guys test that model lineup?

@GOATbro_Australia 7 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this vid, so thank you. Just from watching, the YZ125 seems to win out in the FUN category for sure. It will be very interesting to see how Yamaha continues to evolve these bikes in the coming years. Thanks again.

Have a 450fx but adding a 125x to the stable. Next would be a 250x and I'm done 😝. Love the simplicity and reliability of these X models. My KTM 300 can stay on the scrap heap.

@YZXRYDR 7 месяцев назад

@dormantmenace 7 месяцев назад

If they came with an electric start, im sure the price would go up to cover the r&d. They might be a serious sales contender with the austrian brands. That being said both my yz 125 n 250 start pretty dam easy. But kicking a bike can quickly exhaust you, especially in a precarious spot like on a hill. So its worth it to many riders.

@boonedawg1506 7 месяцев назад

They need that E button bad.

@jpconard 7 месяцев назад

As 23 250x owner, I'd vote no to increasing the complexity, weight, and cost. Many of the Austrian bike riders now complaining of losing the backup kick starter.

@boonedawg1506 7 месяцев назад

@@jpconard Isn't there a kickstarter kit that can be added? I know the Husqvarnas had that as an option in case the battery dies.

@jpconard 7 месяцев назад

@@boonedawg1506 not on the new TBI ones. Beta yes, not sure about Reiju, but KTM, gasgas, husky not anymore. My 22 KTM 150 has both but new 150 doesn't. My Yamaha 250x is better than KTM in so many ways. Carbon on piston was bad, 45 hours, no carbon on Yz at 22 hours, I mean literally no carbon spots. Just shows what bike runs cleaner.

@christopherfowler1549 7 месяцев назад

Why do you need electric start on a 125? I can crank them with my hand, not hard to crank.

@jabec1998 5 месяцев назад

Was 2024 the first year they update the transmission for the 250x? Or did they change that a few years back?

All of the things Yamaha did to “mellow out” the power of the “X” model, with the exception of the 18” rear wheel, are all of the things everyone that purchases one will have to spend money on to get that power back.
