notevenclose Added a reply to Suspension settings on YZ250F
5/6/2020 9:48am Sounds like your rebound is too soft. You say it stands up in the corners and rough over whoops, maybe the back wheel is pushing back down faster than you want it to. So the shock compresses and then rebounds quickly, causing it to feel harsh. Try slowing(increasing) the rebound about 3-4-5 clicks and see how it rides. Maybe go...

notevenclose Started a new thread 2019 YZ250F What's the fix for the stretched throttle cable?
4/29/2020 8:36am I know it's probably been answered but can't find it using the search, my throttle cable is adjusted all the way and there is still slack in the grip. Will a replacement Yamaha cable fix it or is there a better brand?

4/29/2020 7:00am Man, I'm trying everything to fix this arm pump. These are good but I think grips without any waffle are working out better. Seems like smaller the diameter, better/easier to grip.

4/29/2020 5:03am As it turns out, it was the new throttle tube that was making it worse. The cam and the cable guide are smaller in diameter than the stock tube. Swapped it back and took up some of the slack. Still probably need to replace the cable but too bad about the tube.

4/21/2020 10:02am Well crap, that makes sense. I did switch to an aluminum throttle tube so it probably has a smaller throttle cam. I'll try switching back.

4/21/2020 9:50am I ordered the motion pro cable and will just replace it so please don't let me keep anyone up at night thinking I might modify my brand new bike and ruin my life, sheesh. Just looking for info on if there was another place to adjust the cable other than the sleeve adjustment at the throttle housing. Y'all are passionate!

4/17/2020 12:50pm So I have the adjustment on the cable to the max and there is still play in the throttle. What I may do is add a jam nut on both sides of the throttle body to take up some slack. Thanks for the pics!

4/14/2020 10:56am So to take up some of the slack at the throttle body, probably adjust both cables the same length, correct? Great find! This is my first 4 stroke. Thanks y'all!

9/26/2018 1:35pm This is correct. And to answer the OPs question, fuel timing isn't changed, because in a port fuel injection application, timing just doesn't have that large of an effect.

9/26/2018 1:34pm My understanding is that you can't actually tune beyond where it would cause damage with the phone app.

9/26/2018 1:21pm Wow, really appreciate the answers! Makes a lot more sense now. BTW, so far the best map that came with the tuner is the Hard Hitting(Loamy). To feel the difference, I suggest leaving the factory tune in Map1 and upload Hard Hitting(Loamy) into Map2. Then, hit the button after riding a few laps, you'll feel it! Thanks!

9/26/2018 1:17pm I can't answer for sure for the app, but I was lucky enough to attend the media presentation for the 2010 YZ450F (first year with the power tuner). Someone asked the question whether it was possible to damage the engine with the tuner. The engineer answered something like "can you tune a carburetor to the point of damaging the engine? this is the same thing".

9/26/2018 1:17pm As I understand it on the fuel side; every number is a 3% change. For example: a -1 setting is 3% less fuel, a +2 is 6% more fuel. On the ignition side; every number is 1 degree of timing change. For example: a -1 setting is 1 degree of ignition retard, a +2 would be 2 degree's of ignition advance. I pick up my bike soon and I'm looking forward to getting a feel for the changes it can make to the feel of the bike; like does ignition adjustments have more of an impact than fuel or vise-versa...

9/26/2018 1:17pm Here's a good reference: https://motorsportsnewswire.com/2017/08/22/using-the-2018-yamaha-yz450f… On the old, hand-held devices, you could advance or retard the timing and increase (richen) or reduce (lean) the fuel flow in several RPM ranges and throttle settings. Based on what I saw of the video above, it looks much the same with the app. EDIT: On the old handheld device, it was possible to make your bike run poorly, but not enough to damage it. I would be very, very surprised if Yamaha made something that allowed you to wreck your bike.

9/26/2018 11:42am So I see people moving the numbers around and can feel how the different maps work better here and worse there but what do the numbers mean? For ignition, is going negative the same as advancing or retarding the ignition? For fuel injection, are the numbers increasing fuel or changing the timing of the fuel injection? Also, is it possible...
