2023 Yamaha YZ250 Two Stroke TESTED

#motocross #dirtbike #2stroke #yamaha
One of the most used and favorite bikes in the MXA barn is the Yamaha YZ250 two stroke. We are fortunate enough to have Yamaha bringing this tried and true model back for another year. If you remember, the 2022 model was updated with new body work, new seat, new air box, new suspension settings, new brakes, and more. It wasn't a complete overhaul but it modernized their already proven platform from the past. Motocross Action gives you all the details after years of testing this model. The 2023 has 0 changes to it but that isn't a bad thing. Will this be your next bike? Watch this video before you hit the dealership! We even compare this YZ to some of the other two stroke bikes in the class.

Thank you Yamaha for keeping the 2 strokes alive!

[vintagetrikesandquads]

I ride both 2 and 4 strokes. There is something really fun about a 2 stroke on the pipe that I don't get from 4 strokes. I love the violent rush of power, the sound, the smell.

Keep the kickstart forever please. That’s the most satisfying way to start a dirt bike.

Great timing of this video, a 2023 YZ250 just made the 450 supercross main this weekend at Atlanta

I'll always support Yamaha and their 2 strokes are the best. Thank you blue team!

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Obviously the yz250 is still super competitive we are all proud of Jared lesher

[cirosoares]

I have 2001 and 2008 Yz 250. Amazing! Strong! Though and never brake down ! Great bikes! Theses are man bikes!!! 2 stroke!

[redlinek]

A true testament to how good this bike is, was Jared Lesher making a 450 main event on YZ250. First time in 17 years a 2 stroke was in a 450 main event.

Well done on another great review, I Love my 22 YZ250 puts a smile on my face every time I ride it

[johnwilson]

That Keihin carb is great. I've been using them for years. No need to change something that works so well and it's cheap to produce. Keeping costs down for people is important.

2 strokes for life. They are just more fun to ride! Keep ‘em going Yamaha thank you 😎

I just bought one yesterday. I've been running her in up and down my street. Running c12 with klotz super tech @36:1. I live in south lake Tahoe so, I'm well over 7, 000 ft da. I've only hit the little road jump by my house and the berm going into it so far but I can tell you my 2022 yz450 is gonna get dusty because this is MUCH MORE Even the wife is like "it sounds so sexy honey! Why doesn't it sound like a fart like the other one?" I just tell her she's pretty and that I love her. Easier than explaining the difference between a 2 cycle and 4 cycle engine. I explained internal combustion a few months ago and she had a headache for a week.

One of the very few reviews where the test pilot is obviously enjoying himself and popping the front end at will, and that’s the clincher not everyone is a full on racer but we all want a fun bike and reliable to boot well done Yamaha👏🏻👏🏻

[slickcraft]

Been riding a yz250 for 23 years! Best bike ever!

[tj_altekruse]

Thinking about ditching my Rmz 450 for one of these. Bike looks amazing.

[HPRaceDevelopment]

brian dude shifts at right time, rides it where it should be

[tylerjamesgillismusic]

I hope that Honda Suzuki and Kawasaki decide to jump back in the market with two strokes again they would definitely sell bikes like hot cakes. The two stroke market is here and all the old bikes prices are continuing to to go up.

[anthonywalters]

YouTube recommendations really want me to get a 2 stroke…

[granttaylorvlogs]

I’ll be on one for the pro nationals! Love the bike🤘🏻🤘🏻

[monocogenit]

Don't fix what ain't broke. Love my YZ250X
