Spec Bolt Nickel Wurks bolt kit for the win. I also hate the stock hardware on all my Austrian bikes. Every one I've owned over the last 10 years gets all the visible bolts changed for Nickel Wurks on my initial teardown/build up.

It happens to me occasionally on my ‘25 YZ250f, especially when leaving the face of a jump. For some reason it’s always the left side. It always causes a moment of panic when I can’t move my foot, but I’ve learned to recognize it & unhook my boot. I wear Gaerne SG-12s for what it’s worth. I’d love to hear if there is a good solution for this issue…

Ha ha, yes. Second ride yesterday on a 2026 WR250F with previous gen Tech 7’s. It looks like they are catching on a little plastic ridge at the top of the boot when I stand on my heel and rotate my toe outwards. I’m going to try some duct tape to see if that works. I have a set of Gaerne G-Reacts that are a few mm taller that I don’t think will be an issue.

Youre not the only one. I have yet to purchase anything, but for my wife (she has a '25 YZ 250F), we bought a set of Acerbis frame guards. They have a large contact area and prevent her boots from hanging up. She had a huge slam last year because her boot got hung up on the bolt and she couldnt get it un-stuck. I have had several issues with my boots hanging up on the bolt as well, just haven't tried a remedy. It would be neat to try to 3D print a little snap on plastic cover that...

Just started riding my new 2026 YZ450F. Having trouble with top of my boot hooking under the little black extension piece on the left side panel when I try and move my foot forward to shift. Anyone else having this issue? Know of a solution? The Google makes it seem like I’m the only guy having this problem.

Thinking back to a 1981 RM125 I had as a kiddo.. that thing would rev for miles and had a narrow and potent powerband. That engine had a 54x54 configuration.

Sorry if I'm coming across as a know it all asshole- not my intent. Was just trying to share some knowledge. What you shared is all true- but that is mainly focused on 4 cycle engines. When you look at data about "engines", the default "engine" everyone assumes is the dominate 4 cycle format of course. Not our niche but...

Two stroke tech has been undersquare for decades now. It's about port area. Even modern 125's are undersquare. For comparison, my '78 YZ400 is 85x70. Then in the 80's things were generally square (kudos to Honda, they figured this out by 1981 and is part of why CR250's ruled the 80's). By the 90's most the OE's figured it out...
