YZ-250s have been blowing up at Nationals for a couple years now, I continue to get my hopes up but then they blow up. sigh

I think they blow up because of the misconception that they must be tuned to the extreme ragged edge to be competitive with 450s.
A modified smoker that is both fast and reliable would be on par hp wise with a ktm 350f and they have proven competitive, Mike Alessi won a national on one last year.

Agreed, consistency wins races. Blowing up does not. I keep Jeremy's bikes reliable and able to finish races.

I always see videos of him riding his 250f and 450f.  I wonder why he is choosing to ride the smoker.

Another misconception is that oil in the gas is bad and that you should try a ratio of 100:1 or maybe even 150:1 if it's hot out and the track is sugar sand.... oh and lean out the jetting too....

Dry as a bone, and bored with a hone.

I was at the Steel City race last year and Steve Roman smoked the second half of the 450 qualifying on his YZ 250
