Perfect. Don't change the thing... If someone is going to throw out 10k for a dirt bike it better need nothing but fuel and wide open throttle for smiles... For years to come 🤣

If one of the only things you can find to complain about is that you wish the kill switch button is reversed with the mapping button, you know it's a solid bike.

Love the colour. I remember buying Motocross action magazine here in the UK as a kid when that colour was about in 94 or there abouts.

Thanks again. Killing it!🎉

I rode a new YZ250f last weekend - great bike !!! My current bike is a 23 KTM SX 250 smoker and a 21 Fact edition 450 - just checking when a test on the new Beta 450 is coming ???? great informative YZ video here - great job guys !!!!

As a vet rider I prefer the WR version of the 450 it just does everything well. If I was strictly riding MX the yz250 is my choice. Love two strokes.

Beautiful bike,thanks for sharing

I prefer my '21 for many reasons. The Twin Air dome style air filter kit is expensive and actually hurts power if the airbox capacity above the filter isn't increased. It also traps dirt around the edges that falls into the engine when the filter is removed for service. I use Twin Air's factory style (piece of toast) filter with PJ1 pink bubblegum oil. I cut away the flash arrestor screen with a Dremel tool to leave just the plastic spiderweb left to support the air filter. It sounds soo wicked when I'm WOT just grab'n gears! With the ProCurcuit T6 complete exhaust system and nasty tunes I have loaded into the ECU, it still gives me a thrill everytime. Nothing but premium non ethanol fuel with 2 ozs. of Klotz Nitro octane booster and 1 oz. of Stabil per 3 gallons.

Love those 4 strokes 👍

So if the bike is shacking should I go stiffer on compression?

Can’t beat a KYB suspended bike. Never had a Showa unit I liked

its beautiful bro thanks for sharing.

Why the black rims instead of the magenta / purple as on the team bikes at Washougal ? The premium over the standard model should cover that .

Have the plastic side panels ever caught your boot. I’ve only ridden the bike twice and both times I had a boot snag.

I just picked up this bike the other day, any advice on the gearing, should i add a tooth to the rear to make it more friendly getting into 3rd rather than staying in 2nd so much it just has so much top end feels like a desert bike

I picked up my 50th just over a month ago so happy with it😍

Everything sounds great about this bike but after spending a year on the 22 i dont like the aggressive bottom end of the yamaha. Tuning it helps smooth it out a little but its still just a little too aggressive for me. It makes it difficult to corner and you fight the bike in the ruts. Im going back to kawi and getting the 24 kx450

@mxr248

8 ай бұрын

Absolutely wrong about the Yamaha in the ruts and the power. Yes they make a great powerful motor but you can tune it. I just rode one last weekend and the map that was in it was smooth and if you wanted more twist more. That bike handles way better than the new Kawasaki I rode. The new Kawasaki and the front end is very inconsistent. Also the front end a few times had head shake like Honda is known for. I did a few changes to his bike which helped some but I didn’t push the bike much further. Another thing I rode the 20, 21,22,23,24 yz Yamaha’s that 22 that you had is amazing bike and does everything great. The new 23 24 is really amazing. The 450 in corners, air and so on you think you’re on a 250. The suspension is as always awesome!

@@Stinky_sack no I tuned mine down a bit at 1/4 throttle so it was more smooth through ruts then twist more when exiting. Cause mine was touchy. But from that on up I had it where it came on. My friend he’s a bigger guy had his Kawasaki motor done with high compression piston and different cams, aftermarket exhaust and mine with a tune all stock would still pull harder which he played with loved it. He even said my bike cornered better than his as well. He and a few others were wondering how I was getting them so easy in the corners. So they rode my bike that day on the same track. So he was wanting a Yamaha now. But the new yz450 was a little smoother with the map it came with and I absolutely loved it and the bike is so light feeling everywhere.

man as much as i like the Suzuki this bike is set up to win. but that exhaust is ugly as sin. i like the second gear pull with the limiter could win me races as i dont like a 450 without the limiter seems dangerous and costly. i like the low bars. without the middle bar. it comes stock with kyb suspension thats awesome. i like the cdi log and phone access mapping adjustments. could make the power more useful and not so violent power. quit crying about the seat you xont need it lol one thing i noticed is the prices for the 50th anniversary white plastic kit. just buy the stock blue and then buy the white 50th edition separately. as if you buy the 50th edition you will only have white plastic for a more expensive price lol buy the stock and you will have 2 plastics for the same price as the 50th edition price lol sales tactics lmao i like them both colors though. but the white is my favorite. old school man. awesome

Second we are not pros we just wanna know who beat ktm😂 there is no best bike in class it's all up to the rider and how you ride that can be anything any brand any day.
