Please support on us Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/dirtbikechannel or Donate directly on https://www.dirtbikechannel.com/donate/ When you can get the 2017 YZ250X on the pipe (which the internet tells me I have never done), it is certainly something to behold. This bike can do any of the hare scramble and enduro stuff you love to do. It can get out in the desert and blast through the whoops. It can go slow, it can go fast. It seems like the harder you push the suspension, the better it becomes. It’s got some sort of magical powers that seems to make you a better rider. I can’t explain how great this bike makes me feel. This bike is just okay in 1st gear gear. By the time you get to 2nd gear you are having fun, but click into 3rd and 4th and you leave earth behind. The YZ250X transports you to a place where your worries and stresses fade into the background and all that is left is pure joy and adrenaline. You start to wonder if this is a dream, or if you are really awake. It’s bliss. Yamaha made some subtle changes to their aging 2 stroke motocross bike to make this amazing machine. Gearing changes, lowered compression, an 18 inch rear wheel, and slightly softer valving in the front fork were pretty much all that was needed to make this thing work. The fact that this Yamaha 2 stroke dirt bike is so good really makes me wonder how good the Honda CR250 and Suzuki RM250 and Kawasaki KX250 would be if those manufacturers didn’t stop producing them. The best compliment I can give this bike is that when I’m riding it, I am not thinking about how the bike is going to react. I am just thinking about what's in front of me and how I am going to attack it. You just sort of trust that no matter what you do, or how fast you hit something, the bike will do the rest and make up for your weaknesses. It’s hard to explain, but it’s true!

We're do u mount your gopro

I see a lot of guys ragging on you for not being ING the high RPMs. my style is like yours. I ride a gear higher and use the low and mid range power. that's where my 300 exc loves to be and you don't spin all the power away. I think you ride your style perfectly. on the pipe doesn't mean your going fast. keep up the good work.

Hey Kyle, I just created this YouTube account solely so I can comment on this video. I just wanted to say that I love all the videos that you make and I hope you keep them coming. Don't listen to what most people are saying about the pipe. LOL. Also, I ordered a electron carburetor for my 2016 XC 300 based off of your review. Thanks for that.

Nice video. I enjoy watching rides when it's 8 degrees outside and you ride in some pretty country

You're getting me sucked into this bike Kyle! I love the vid, thank you. I really do think your riding skills are better on this bike vs your KTM. Hard to tell on vids but man you're doing great on this bike! Great ridding, great film and edit. Excellent show.

Click bait.

I have been reading all the comments and I have seen the title change of this video. You are one of the channels that has inspired me to want to ride more. With that being said, if you were my dad and you were paying attention to your dirt bikes and sitting at a computer for hours at a time, editing videos and not paying attention to me, I would not be happy about it, I would miss you. My dad pushed me and my brothers aside and would tell us to go play and not spend any time with us, and it was hard to have that happen. You seem like a really good guy and you love your family. Riding dirt bikes for me is about fun and getting that feeling like no other, not many things can put me in that world like riding hard in the dirt. When something stops being fun and becomes more like work, it is time to stop and take a look at what your all about. Making videos can be addicting and taken on this endeavor, to make your channel grow is challenging. I wish you only good things, and do what comes natural. Your family and friends love and need you. A bunch of lazy dorks sitting at a computer for hours watching videos does not define you. You rock. Thanks, for all you have done so far.

I love the title change. You were getting a pretty good beating in the comments, I wondered what the best response would be. That was a good one. Most of us realize that in your region you have a different type of riding. In Florida we have sand. On a two stroke, on the pipe is holding it wide open and shifting until you get nervous or have to turn. Still enjoying the videos.

I would way rather be on my Husky 350

5:30 your comment, are we brothers? I had 95 YZ250, 3rd gear is like, sorry this is a family channel...
I hate to use the F word however when riding something that sounds so sweet, please try to keep those FOUR stokes out of ear shot. I enjoyed this. -
I was hoping you re-geared the sucker low and were trying out some technical trails...guess it would need a fan for that though.

Someone give me the blue flag😂

-
i want to get paid to ride. i need some money. i can barely afford gas
-
Nice Video

Don't listen to the views of idiots that are out there. There are by far more people who appreciate all that you do. Great riding, videos and info.
