2020 YZ250X // How I set up my bike for HARD ENDURO!

This is a fairly detailed breakdown of everything I have done to my 2020 Yamaha YZ250X. I ride a big range of conditions, everything from hitting big jumps to Hard Enduro and have set up my bike to work pretty well for all of it. Let me know if you have any questions or have other questions! I will do my best to answer those in the comments!

If you came here for jetting advice... I don't go over jetting in the video, I have it set with specs that the guys at Apex Technical Innovations gave me when installing their head... I'm bad at jetting and don't know enough to help you out. I'm sorry!

This is one of the best set up videos I’ve seen. Thanks for taking the time to set this up! 🤟🇨🇦🤟

@ 12:03 is perfect terrain man you’re blessed to be able to have that dirt.

Lots of great set up tips, I didn't expect this much
great info, thanks!
Also, thanks for no MIDROLL ADS, I let opening and
closing ads run and encourage others to do the same.

nice video mate, I ride a yz250x a few weeks ago. I like hard enduro and I also noticed that the original 14/50 transmission is very fast for trail riders, maybe it's better for mx, so I rode 13/50 and it rides calmer, with better lowering. greetings from Chile. 08-28-2022

14:20 I bought a 2018 250X new just after the launch in SA in 2017, wanted to fit a fan, our Yamaha dealer quoted me about R8k excl labour (about $400-$500) for the stator, battery, aftermarket electric starter and aftermarket fan and also an additional option for the WR headlight. It would make my bike almost 10kg heavier and with our harescramble and cross country races containing a bit of mx and endurocross type of stuff I kept it standard to keep the weight down, when we had tight and slow terrain I made sure to mix my 2 stroke 1:20 and 96% concentrate coolant, but when exiting the heavy stuff I had to rev the motor up to burn the 2stroke off the plug as I lost power on the straights when exiting the heavy terrain, but with the correct jetting and few fine tunes to the motor my bike kept up with the 450’s and 500’s with 6 speed gearboxes.

that review was a breath of fresh air .

The wrap around saved my hands on many occasions, hit a couple trees with the husky stock off the showroom floor and my hands felt like mush. They also save your shrouds big time but its all a matter of preference.

I'm on a woods converted 2018 yz250 with backed off suspensionsettings. 3.2 gallon Clarke tank. Protaper evo woods bend bars. Stealy 13oz flywheel weight... Best mod ever... love it. I added the motion pro coolant recovery tank.. it works so good.. can't complain.
Shinko mx216 fatty up front and cheater 525 rear.
My yz has served me very well. Love this bike.
Couldn't buy a yz250x because they sell out before season even starts here in Ontario Canada.

That looks like so much fun going over all those downed trees in the path.

[andrewtrombley]

Thanks man! just bought a 21 and I'm probably gunna do everything you just listed to it! Exactly what I was looking for!

[harveymushman]

Great video. Definitely best setup video I have seen. Please more videos on this type of riding and the yz250x. Good job man

[kimojon]

Rolling on to this vid late but wow this Jason guy is on his game. Everything he stated was spot on. I also do not like wrap around guards, they are dangerous. Anyway, great ride and excellent set up!

[curtiswilkinson]

I love the comment about your neighbor at the end. Haha

[brodi]

This is a well done video, I'm sorry I just found it now. Enduro engineering made a name for themselves, and now I think they just ride that out. Thanks for the vid!

[joeshawley]

Good stuff. I had a 2018 250x and loved it! I'm on a yz125x and really enjoy it!

[terramoto_pt]

I tried one of those and those bikes are AMAZING !

[nuthintoprove]

Been riding YZ's since 02. Smart carb eliminates all the carb issues; sorry for you that haven't compared back to back but its better than an electron. Never run a Pro-circuit pipe off-road unless you want to kill all the torque from idle to top end but add 2 hp at peak RPM. Fatty or Gnarly are both great. If you want a pro-circus pipe, I'll give you mine.

[brianpearson]

Is that the regular ims tank or the zip ty one

[willyrasubala]

i love everytime you give us some tips and info sir... good luck

[carlatamanczyk]

You have a great taste in your bike set up. Kudos..!!
