MOTO TIME - 2024 YZ250F @ ACP | CHUPACABRA OFFROAD

I had to hop on the two wheeler after the rain, and I wanted to chat about my current bike of choice. I didn't get that much ride footage, as I goofed on the GoPro setting, but I'll be riding more and posting it in another video soon...
Transcript:
🔹 Part 1: Background & First Impressions
(0:00–1:22)
Nick Olson introduces the video at ECP motocross track in Phoenix. He talks about his riding history—transitioning from motocross in California to off-roading and dual-sport rides in Arizona. He introduces his new 2024 Yamaha YZ250F, praises Yamaha suspension, and says it’s a great vet-rider bike.
🔹 Part 2: Power & Performance Mods
(1:22–4:06)
-
Switched from 49T to 50T rear sprocket → better 2nd–3rd gear range
-
Slip-on Yoshimura exhaust for better power and sound (stock was too loud and unpleasant)
-
Uses Yamaha Power Tuner app → custom maps like “Hard Hitting” or “KK Aggressive”
-
Planning more performance with Twisted Development ECU + airbox mod (~$1500)
-
Also added a Cycra airbox cover with pre-drilled holes for airflow
🔹 Part 3: Ergonomics for Tall Riders
(6:32–9:36)
-
Nick is 6’3” and discusses best setup for tall riders:
-
Lowered footpegs (Works Connection Titanium, down 4mm)
-
Renthal 930 bars (not overly tall but flexy and vibration-absorbing)
-
Stock seat height
-
-
Added Steg Pegz (rubber bumpers on side panels) to reduce arm pump, keep posture upright
-
Says these mods help him stay in control and avoid fatigue during long rides
🔹 Part 4: Suspension & Setup Adjustments
(9:36–13:04)
-
Revalved suspension locally, with DLC coating on fork tubes
-
Went up 1–2 spring rates front and rear → better for his weight (205 lbs)
-
Adjusted compression and rebound to balance feel between vet and pro tracks
-
Wants setup that works for motocross + off-road (GP-style)
-
Says it’s more stable, better in corners, and doesn’t buck or bottom out easily
🔹 Part 5: Final Thoughts & Outro
(13:04–14:07)
-
Plans to ride more motos that day and participate in a Buckeye GP race
-
Reflects on passion for moto and how he’ll keep doing it as long as he can
