smv ryder My Rides (6) Posted February 10 Is anything different besides the 6 speed? The only reason I ask is because is because ping rode a 270 and mentioned some things were different from the 250f stock and 250fx motors. Watch video and let me know what you think. https://www.vitalmx.com/features/Race-Shop-Build-2021-Yamaha-YZ270FX,7270 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kgish475 My Rides (2) Posted February 10 I could be wrong but I believe they are the same platform currently. Typically just the ECU mapping, tranny ratios and final drive are different. I just watch that too and my problem is he didn’t dive into specifics so made me skeptical of how well he knows these bikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr.X My Rides (2) Posted February 10 They are the exact same machine, from head to toe mechanically. Differences only lie in suspension, real wheel size, and a kickstand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kinda thought ping didnt know what he was talking about. https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/cross-country/models/yz250fx/specifications Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps the engine (but maybe different mapping for each) but as for the gearbox, one's a close-ratio 5-speed while the other is a wide-ratio 6-speed.

Kaw751 Posted February 11 The 21 yz Has motor updates that the 21 fx doesn’t have, I think is just head work! The fx probably gets it in 22 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, I didn’t notice when I initially replied that you asked about the 21 F and FX. I know for certain the 20 F and FX is same engine, but I don’t know for sure about 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ah665 My Rides (4) Posted February 23 I didn't think the FX received the updates that the '21 YZ250F got. But regardless it's very similar, to the '20 YZ250F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
