General Two Stroke Talk / Questions about HorsePower and Torque on MX bikes.

« on: August 29, 2010, 07:06:13 PM »

I'm just curious how much the average 250 2 Stroke makes in Horsepower and in Torque, compared to the big 450F thumpers?

Also, A buddy of mine who rides an 06 RM250 came over tonight and we were talking about how much power my YZ250 most likely made. I guessed anywhere around 44-46HP. He said thats too low and that his RM is makin like 55HP!! I immediately called Bull$hit. and he said with his exhaust setup "its a stock pipe with Pro Circuit shorty " that it wasn't an unreasonable number....  Now this kid has been ridin motocross for 4 years now. And I may be new. But I know aint no stock 250 "And his is. no motor work done" is gunna make 55 Ponies... Thats close to the numbers the old 500 dino's made right??? anyways, sorry that this took longer to explain than the original question lol.

No I mean they don't work. Yamaha will not let me get the pdf even though I registered. And the other site doesn't have the manual at all.

Hey guys, I've got another question. I ran out of the bel-Ray h1r and am taking my new yz250 out for the first time next weekend. It still hasn't been rejetted. I plan to do that after I finally get to have some fun on it. But my question can I switch over to maxima castor 927 without any problems for the weekend??? I mixed the bel-Ray 40:1 and plan to mix the maxima 32:1... Thanks guys.

But it is still spooging real bad.. i dont want to constantly have to clean spooge out from under the bike. reguradless of puttering or being constantly wide open I'm sure it will still spooge.

You need to check your jets.
It's easy to do.
Loosen both clamps holding the carb to manifold and air boot.
Twist the carb so the float bowl is facing you. Just be carefull with the throttle cable that you dont damage it.
Undo the float bowl and have a look at the jets.
The main is on the bottom with a hex head & the slow jet you need a small screwdriver.
Post on here the sizes and someone can help from there.
PS some bikes you may need to take out the throttle cable.

I think I'm gunna Re-Jet it myself. But I talked with my brother and he said to just ride it like it is when I go with my friends to HoloPaw. I don't have the time to mess with it this week because Graduation is coming up. After I take it for the 1st ride. I'm gunna let you guys know what jets I have in the carby then hopefully we can get this damn spooge under control

Well, I have a feeling they were talking about two parts of a 4 stroke that don't pertain to your bike.  First, saying yours is smoking. Although the guy who likes 2 strokes could maybe make a judgement call on that, the others may have been thinking compared to a 4 stroke. Second, the pipe depending on what pipe, should not be discolored like they speak of. That again, is a 4 stroke thing.  Here's a simple test for you. Put the bike on the stand, in neutral. clean it out and warm it up good. Then, let it idle for about 10 seconds, crack the throttle wide open fast.  If it revs, with no problem and cleanly, move on to the next step. If it gags, you are either lean or rich down on your airscrew/ pilot jet.  Next, about 1/4 throttle for about 5-10 seconds and do the same.  Then half throttle etc. If all those are reving cleanly, without gagging for fuel or air, and you will know it, then move on to the last. Take your bike, put it in 2nd gear and pin it (only if you can handle doing that, if not, try 3rd).  It should pick the front tire up at the end, and not feel like it is all of a sudden climbing a super steep hill. It should rev out, without "falling" off.  Again, you will feel it.  Try those things and report how it feels.  We can go from there.

I noticed yesterday when i took it out on my street that when i decided to get on it in 3rd when it hit the powerband it seemed to chuggle then clear out and rev fine.. ?
