I feel a lot better about my newly acquired 09 YZ250F now. These bikes naturally make unnatural noises and run like crap at idle. Make it run smooth at idle and it dies at instant WOT under load. Yamaha minimized rotating weight for max hp, and it's impressive. Very impressive. But don't plan on a Honda CRF100 style cruise around the catfish pond, the YZ250F is fast and mean.

The idle should be low when making the adjustment, it helps notice RPM change. I bumped up the idle to 1900 at the end since that is what recommended setting is (1800-2200?)

Please help: My 2008 rmz 250 is having sputtering/bogging issues in the mid-throttle area. I did mess with the fuel screw so that might be it but idk. It idles perfect and starts up first kick and anything 1/4 throttle or lower is perfect but as soon as I go to give it more throttle it starts to sputter and not give me any more power, but if I give it 3/4 to full throttle all the power comes at once and it pulls like it should. So basically sputters and won’t accelerate around 1/2 throttle range. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. NOTE: It did run close to perfect before I touched the fuel screw but did sputter occasionally.

If your fuel mixture screw fell out, I would make sure that the spring, washer, & o-ring was not lost either. If you are not sure how much you installed it, double check the setting per this video.

Hot start adds air, so it sound like it wants to run leaner. Also, a leaner mix will raise the idle speed. Maybe your idle is set too low. In any case, try adjusting your fuel screw.

yamaha Yz426f_yz250 also, yz426s are prone to bog because of the stupid accelerator pump. there's a mod you can do called the BK mod. lots involved. with carb off so you can see inside, give it gas. the pump will squirt fuel. the BK mod makes it so it only squirts fuel for about .5 seconds instead of the 1.5 seconds or whatever it is stock. I was going to do it but mine doesn't bog. only at idle if I slam the gas. riding it it isn't noticeable. maybe I got lucky and one of the owners before me did the mod already.

I see what you are saying. Either way will work I guess. I never thought of getting to the next circuit. I tried your way today and it works as well. I just don't get the exact spot that I do with the way I normally do it. I have to kind of find the middle between the two places it starts to die.

Hello, first: nice vid: second: I have 03 yz450f. Idle is very strange. Sometimes it's very high, than reaturn to normal. TPS? Also, my header is glowing red? To lean? So I have to turn pilot jet counterclokwise? Thanks :)

My bike is an 05 crf250r. Thing is it was sutting for 6 months. When it idles it dies so i got a bigger pilot and it seems to be working but it idles at very high revs... if i lower the revs though it will die. Any ideas? Also on 1st gear it accelerates a little on its own because its already has high rpm's. Any ideas? Thanks

Make sure you clean the carb. Take the fuel screw & pilot out and give the passage a good cleaning with carb clean. Make sure the hot start plunger is clean and proper slack in cable at lever. Next, check the air boot and header pipe for air/exhaust leaks. Laslty, tune the fuel screw and let me know what happens.

Hey there, so I have a problem with my 07 KX 250f, It has a pretty bad backfire problem when it is going down from high rpms, and it it even does it quite a bit when it is just over idle speed. I know some backfires are normal, but mine does it 2-3 times per second until you are down to idle speed or hit the gas. It hasnt really affected the performance much, but I dont know, just seems a bit inconvenient. Do you know any good ways to reduce those?
@HTMR

catman377 First off, make sure there are no exhaust leaks at head pipe and muffler connections. Also, make sure silencer packing is good. Next, make sure there are no vacuum leaks around carb boot. Make sure hot start plunger is clean, sealing, and cable is properly adjusted. Finally, adjust the fuel screw per video and size pilot jet so screw falls 2 turns out. I had to run a pilot jet 2 sizes larger for this bike in my climate (Chicago). Hope that helps.

Your bike is fuel injected so this video does not apply. Your issue is that you can stall the motor while on stand or nuetral while you whack the throttle? That aside, how does it behave when you ride it?

MatthewMCRepair My bike is not fuel injected there is a fuel injected version 12.5 but the orginal 2012's were still carburated it was the first year that Dungy came to the team. And that is correct while on the stand and while in neutral. it has stalled on me when i was messing around rolling over a small jump and i whacked the throttle and it did the same thing. So what i'm thinking that it could be the fuel screw or bad gas?

Also, read this: www.howtomotorcyclerepair.com/jeta4stroke/ Your problem is probably due to a lean accelerator pump shot. Read the link above and let me know if you have any questions.
