Hi, im picking up this bike in the end of the month, do you guys have any tips for me?
Ill be going with the FMF 4.1 factory slip-on, had a tough choice between that and the akrapovic one.
But what more to do? read alot of problems with the 450 -18 about starter clutch, but that should have been fixed for the -19 250 i think? also been problems with the airbox..anything needed to do there?
Never bought a brand new bike before, should i grease all the bearings and stuffs before i use it?
Something to check on the bike? electric spray the harness connections or stuffs like that?
Lastly, what new parts is cool to have for the yz250f? anything that improves the bike
Cheers!

Cool parts? Imo, Hinson clutch, Twin Air power flow kit, axle blocks (stock are junk), fork bleeders, skidplate in carbon, Titanium footpegs
The Shop
Make sure every electrical connector gets dielectric grease and frame grounds are clean and tight.
Drain coolant and use your favorite brand reassembling. I use only Engine Ice in my bikes.
I use blue locative on every plastic bolt when reassembling so they never fall out.
Make sure you are using the correct weight springs for your weight and riding ability.
After 10-15 hours Service the suspension so it is cleaned and fresh fluids.
And of course the bike gets Moto Hose colored silicone hoses!
Still 2 months away from when all the big tracks open here in sweden so got some time to work on the new bike
or did you make a "filter" with the scarf?
thinking the radiators might not move at all and just get crushed hehe
Have you checken recently for dirt after you went with the scarf?
Sounds like it might be a twin air filter cage in the end but Will give it a try with normal twin air filters first
Pit Row
Can you post a picture how the twin air kit looks on your bike if you are nearby sometime?
Yeah bike seems real good! Damn Shame they fucked it up with the filter
Twin air claims they fixed the problem with dity getting in, apparantly the OEM design makes the suction from the engine dry the middle of the filter from oil, thus making some dirt slip by. Fixed it with some spacer.
Going to buy some of those to start with right away, did not really like the look of the cap needed for powerflow kit instead of the original plastic
Toss the stock filter in the bin. Start with the regular twin air filters and see if you have any problems, I have seen a few people on different forums claiming they are getting dirt past the backfire screen but neither I or any of the people I know have had any issues. I bought a pair of shroud filters from PC Racing that I'm gonna try out to see if I can get away with maybe changing filters once on race day. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/734/45426/PC-Racing-Flo-Shroud-Air…
You changing filters after every moto on a practice day? Had a ktm 2stroke for 2 years now and only changes filter before i go riding and never a problem with dirt after the filter
Aint it sketchy changing filters on the track with the position it now has?
So practise > Heat 1 = change
Perfect timing
