definitely. They may not produce as much peak HP as some other "race" brands, but they are a great compromise between power and sound levels. Usually a real nice deep bark. Something most 250s miss.

Zach is back. Thanks for that good 20 minutes of clean fun.

Hands down my favorite harescramble racer to watch.

12:14 I choked on my cereal I laughed so hard.

What an early upload, keep up the vids Zach! 😂👍🏼

Bob "Hurricane" Hannah in a pinch raced a box stock YZ 250 ... right out of a crate from a dealership. They added fluids, set the rear sag at 4"... and Bob ran it!With NO after- market go-fast parts... against high dollar one-off works bikes,custom tailored to each rider,with countless weeks of testing and setup. Bob kicked ASS! Too many riders today think that they can only win on whatever happens to be the HOTSHIT bike of the moment.

Hey men, great job running that 2F around. I do the same thing as you but here in Quebec it's called cross-country (don't ask me why). I ran a yz250 last year and this year a yz250FX, so jumping from 2stroke to 4stroke and the ''enduro'' version. Did my first practice yesterday and men it's a dam good machine. So much traction everywhere, less arm pump and that E start as well saves so much energy. Since im always in 2-3 and sometimes 4th gear i don't feel like the 6 gear is very usefull during the race, but the ratio of the bike is on point. I love that high second and low third gear the switch between the both of them is smooth, very usefull when you are in roots and rocks. I will definetly check your videos again! Ride safe, or not.... (Pardon my english)

Something that helped me get faster on my KTM 250xc-f was to throttle on downhills, its weird, but thats how you carry speed with super engine breaking, power on the downhills

I just started racing the races last month and there so fun. I actually raced today

love how you have the sound of the bikes fade out before your start

Still love your videos to this day. You got me into wnyoa when I was on a 65 and now we are in the same class crazy how things turn out thank you Zach!

Haha hey Dominick. Thanks! You are hauling man, keep it up!

Miss the 2 stroke sound in your video... Miss Tomahawk crashing... Glad your videos are back!

Now this is what 4 strokes are for. I recently gave up ripping 4 strokes at high speed to rip a 2 stroke 300 tpi at slow speeds straight up mountains. Much more fun imo. Great vid, great race great commentary. My only tip would be, shift less and and get to the top of those gears. Ur throttling like it’s a 300 where 1/4 turn is all u need. Crank that thing out

That race looks Awesome man!! Nice and muddy!! Stay with the 4 stroker baby!! Once u figure it out u wont for back and will luv it!! 4 stroke for life!!

Glad to see the races are taking off again! Also that bike is sick, even stock it performs pretty good

Aside from the fact that it sounds like you're racing a Sprint car, it looks like you got along really well with that new bike. Congrats man!

Love hearing it scream up the hills 😍

I miss the 300 .... At least the F is a Yamaha... Awesome mudder good job man

I have a 17 yz250f and the air box is like a bark box in your lap. And yes an fmf pipe does quiet it down a bit but not that much

Yeah, ear plugs for sure. I prefer the reusable corded Stanley orange silicone jobs. Knocks the racket down nicely.

I ride a 250f with an fmf pipe, love the deeper sound it barks out. Also, uncork that bike, throw some great shoes on it and you will really love the way it runs and handles. Tires were the best mod I made, period dot, on my 250f. Also, these bikes love to run in the mid to upper revs...

You guys remember the days when Zach would obsessively wipe off his camera? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Sweet I'm excited to see more racing on the new bike great vid like always

Impressive how quickly you accommodated the 4stroker!

I have the '18 250FX and she's really loud too. My 2010 yz250f was also loud. The yammies are loud but make such amazing power!

"other than the fact that it sounds like I'm riding a trombone" Dude I haven't laughed that hard all year. Thanks:)

Good job Zach! Been watching your videos for a while and it's always entertaining. Cool that you are on the 250f. I've been into the two strokes since last summer, previously owning a 525 MXC. At 58 that was too much for me on technical stuff so went to a 300 rr Beta. Loved that so much just picked up the 200rr this week. All that said I just sold a 2008 XCF-W 250 that I had as a loaner bike ( funds for the 200!) That 250 was kind of shocking as to how hard it pulled, very surprising. Imagine the 2019 is that much better! If you get a chance to try the 200rr Beta it is a kick! Frame, size and weight of a 125 with a torquey 200!! I'm no longer 58!

12:45 the fmf is a bit quieter. A full system (header and slip on) makes a huge difference in power, and the power is still very usable and not uncontrollable. If it’s hard to make yourself purchase the full system with it being so expensive, the slip on still makes a noticeable difference.

I have never laughed so hard watching one of these.. way to make it entertaining.

I'm not sure what you're fuel economy is like, but I think a larger tank than stock would be a great idea. The fmf is much, much quieter and it sounds great so definitely do that.

Awesome, I just switched from a 200xcw to a 250xcf. So different but so much fun. Looking to the Tomahawk can't wait.

Just picked up the Beta 200rr, if you get a chance to ride one take it. They are a blast! Almost the same weight and frame of their 125 but great usable power!

I like how loud it is I actually have a 2014 yz250f I love it

Big fan of the FMF "Q" series on both my 4 strokes, and 2 strokes. I personally have a Q4 mated to a Power Bomb Header Pipe on my KX450F. Great power curve, and more enjoyable sound tone and level.

Thanks for the ride dude, good luck with the new Yama

Thanks for the video! So cool and crispy! Love the sound of that bike - here’s to hoping it is louder next time. 🎩🤘🏽

You were picking them off nicely towards the end dude. Amazing ride. I used to have a 2005 yzf250 best bike.

This was a good one to go back and revisit.

never seen one of you vids before but mad respect that looked very tough and you handled it like a champ

This is great hearing your thoughts on the differences between four stroke and two stroke 👍

Great to see you enjoying a four stroke. From my experience you will probably need to ring its neck a little more as the 250 needs to be in its sweet spot to give you what you need. Also try raising the forks up 4mm to see if that helps in the tight stuff. The only disadvantage of the F over the FX is gearing. F gearing will be a little high in the gnarly sections. You can go go up 2 teeth on the rear which helps a lot but you will lose top speed. Enjoy the Yamaha. Great bike. I went from a 450F to a 450FX and i'm glad I did.

This was a fantastic video. Loved the voice over

Great video I have to say we both have a similar situation I'm coming off a 2 stroke and got a 4 stroke and it is so much more different

I love how those Yamaha's sound!

I was a 2 stroke guy but nexr year I had to do a 12 h race for husqvarna they gave me and my crew a 250 4 stroke it's a factory bike so I ain't complaining 😁 2 weeks later I got my self a little 4 stroke just fall in love with the stability of that front wheel so I finished my championship with 4 stroke and was going faster. And the and of saison I was invited to test all ktm bikes so I tried the 2 stroke again and it was really a let down once you get used to 4 stroke.

turn your idle up for less engine braking. I like it a lot. had the same brak pads for 15 years

Enjoying your ride. Especially the comment I'm a big hurry to catch up and get roosted

I have a new yz250f, suspension for me just had to be adjusted a few clickers and has one softer race tech spring in the left fork. (Top 30 overall Light B harescramble Racer). Not quite as quick as Zach yet (im 18) but i love the KYB SSS. I feel that especially in races where they stick a moto track in the middle of it which is quite often around here the suspension handles it really well even though its softened up for the woods. I've overjumped some doubles and tables by a long shot a few times and its gone all good.👍🏻planning to move up to A class in 2020

I thought the quality looked better. Anyways you look smoother, sure you are disappointed in your performance, but results prove it. I switched from my rmz450 after 4 years on it to a beta 250rr and I feel slower in a lot of scenarios, but results show faster. I’m smoother on it than my 450. Honestly now I don’t believe you really need a 450 anymore. Sure it has nice useable power, but they are just so heavy.

damn thing sounds almost like a 450 holy bejesus nice ride Zach!

Yz250f need to be ridden wide open so you need to downshift and romp on it or you're going to struggle or kill it if you getting too tight of a place

I was about to post the same thing. I bought a brand new XR400 in 1998, I did 2 events on it. I went marking out at our club enduro, swapped with another guy who had just bought a new Gasgas 250 supposedly for 10 minutes, but we did a deal in the woods and I took the gasser home and he took the Honda home. For me it was so good to get back on a 2 stroke, it was almost cheating.

It seems like the newer YZs after about 2014 have much heavier front ends, and when you're on mud or sand, it's far easier for the front tire to lose control
