2022 Yamaha YZ250F TESTED - Motocross Action Magazine

Спорт

#motocross #dirtbike #offroad
Motocross Action tests the 2022 Yamaha YZ250F at Glen Helen Raceway. In 2022 the Yamaha YZ250F gets Dunlop tires, a new wider rear rim, larger width tire, new lighter sprocket, more durable change, and updates to the suspension. The goal from Yamaha was to gain more rear wheel traction and acquire a more planted feel out back. The Yamaha is a test rider favorite but faces stiff competition as the 2022 Honda CRF250R is all new and the KTM 250SXF remains dominant. Will the changes made to the Yamaha YZ250F be enough to capture a 2022 Motocross Action 250 Shootout win? We will be finding out sooner than later! Josh Mosiman breaks down the details of the bike, what we learned on day 1 of testing, and some useful tips if you are a Yamaha YZ250F owner. Our goal is to bring you the most comprehensive and in depth test video in the industry so you have the information in your hands before breaking the bank at your local dealership on a new bike.

    @@peytonmaslowski5392 not really changed some of the material the block and rotating assembly were made of before to a different grade of steel and aluminum. and port shape and a few minor things with the reed valve and stuck it in a 250f chassis like always calling it a complete redesign. The material change is most likely a money savings on their end but only time will tell if it was for durability or not.

    @@peytonmaslowski5392 it will sadly still feel like they always do because a lot of the changes they made are to things riders swap out immediately like the bars, riser, pipe and reeds. I wish the Japanese saw the value in making 2 stroke and 4 more like KTM does but they seem to only care about American super cross.

Suspension. Comfort. And power the kx was better. I'm in the car business however they do new vehicle reviews and comparisons I usually laugh most of the so-called best vehicles I just driven by hype everybody getting on the bandwagon and usually promotion and political stuff. I'm realizing this is true with dirt bikes I was a hardcore Yamaha man till I got the Kawasaki 2 days ago

Matter of fact try measuring across from radiator to radiator there isn’t a huge difference at all. And the app is better than any other bike period! Plus the fact you really don’t need aftermarket parts to make the bike go faster where is the app helps that out a lot and saves you money. You sound like a hater compared to other testers.lol

    I have a 21’ yz250f and a ‘22 crf250r, I ride the Honda my son rides the Yz. We’re both faster on the Yamaha, better bottom hit and handling is more stable and the suspension is a lot smoother on a rough track, so you can push it more, especially running fast up chopped up jumps with acceleration bumps. Yamaha just smooths out the track.
