You can use your left over 2 stroke fuel with Motul 800 in it in your 4 stroke lawn mower, still going strong with 10 years later with no air filter in it.
Yup. It took real skill to ride a 2-stroke at a higher level.
Only needing to blip the throttle 3 times in 2nd gear on a 4-stroke thru a rhythm section....yawn.
After 3 years of 4 strokes (kxf 250) this was the bike i was looking for.
Ton of bottom-mid and doesn't hit really hard.
I freaking love it. Good brakes, decent suspension (i hate the shock but that's ok 😂)
Never felt better on a bike. Highly recommending you a 19+ SX/TC 250.
I had the chanche to ride a YZ, not my type of bike.
Engine hitting too hard and has no bottom-mid.
The chassis is feeling old style. The brakes are not really good.
The only positive thing of a YZ are the KYB forks
What did you get?
Don't let these guys fool you about all the pussy they pull.....it's even worse.
But you'll be ok, you're riding moto helps with the core strength.....chicks dig core strength
Now you got to learn how to go fast.
Here is my tip for you....DO NOT TAKE THIS 100% LITERALLY....get it? It's the concept you need to get.
Ready?
Rev it til you think it's going to blow up, then shift. The real meat of the power is likely far after when you're shifting. It's normal.
Learn to listen to and FEEL that engine in your hands and ass. Ride as fast as you can and in about 3rd or 4th, keep revving that engine until you feel like it's actually slowing a teeny tiny bit....If you can feel that, you felt it at the top of the powerband, the peak, and then you felt it fall off (you went past the peak power).
On a 125 (or 50/65/85) you want to shift right about when that power is falling off, in each gear.
Then you have to learn to keep it there....ALL THE TIME...that's called "keeping it on the pipe"
When you find that sweet spot, you'll get a big ass grin, because then you'll get it.
Big thing you need to remember, being fast and being good is not one or two things, it is a million tiny things like hand placement, elbows, where you look, line choices, race craft.....Learn, learn, learn.
Go to a local track, a real track, and learn.
People at tracks are usually super helpful, just ask someone to help you, and they will!
This I promise.
No one here will disagree.
I could be wrong, but last I checked, if you blow up/seize/trash a four stroke piston/engine it's far more expensive to fix than a two-stroke
I COULD BE WRONG
But, somehow, I don't think I am

It isn't 2004 anymore so maybe stop acting like every bike is a 2004 CRF250
