Hey peeps!
So I'm 5'10" and 160lbs w/ all my gear on and ride tracks/trail/wherever...
My 2013 YZ250 is BONE stock and the bike is amazingly FUN to ride!
Suspension is great just a little bit stiff for me out of the box and I will most likely get a valve job done if needed.
What mods do you think are necessary for your YZ250's out there? Which made a difference and how much?
Thanks!

In regards to power I don't need or want more power, but if anything maybe smooth out the bottom delivery and maybe stretch the power out a bit..With my weight and speed the YZ def has enough balls stock for my skinny self lol
Its a great bike, just add a flywheelweight and right jetting this bike is plenty good. Some are gonna say v-force or rad valves are a must but to me they didnt do anything.
Spend the rest of your money on tires and gas and your gonna have fun!

The suspension is awesome, even stock. I'd work on getting the adjusters dialed in first if I were you. I think the spring rates should be spot-on for your weight. Adjust the sag to 100mm and then see if you get any free sag - there should be about 1 to 1.5 inches with the bike off the stand (no rider) once you set the race sag.
Everything else on that bike is pretty solid. I did an oversize Braking rotor on mine, and I've done braided brake lines before for more stopping power; just be sure you know how to use that brake before making this mod.
Usually a shorty will give you more bottom to mid, with a shorter power band.
Pit Row
I did get the head mod done on mine and the difference is very noticeable, bike runs much more crisp.

And that floppy kicker....just buy a new spring and bearing. $2 worth of parts. Will tighten it right up.
Flywheel weights aren't for everyone
