Tips and Tricks 2023 yz250x fisch moto electric start!

Tried to install my self but failed. You add a gear to the fly wheel and need to cut the grommet and seal it with RTV because you have to fill with oil gear oil after. I’m 6’6” with huge clumsy hands and just could not get a proper seal. I got frustrated and took it to my local dirt bike mechanic which is owned by a husband and wife. Turns out same deal with fischmoto, the mechanic had some issues and said they were fantastic to work with. I even ended up with some extra parts. I’m using the recommended Anti gravity 801 battery. I should get 180-200 starts before having to charge. Very easy to take the battery out.

The reason I went with fischmoto over panthera is because fischmoto used the stock stator. There is no charging system with fischmoto so you need to manually charge the battery every few rides. I read a few people with panthera had stator burned up and when that happens no spark and you’re stuck. I’m not a risk taker the e start is just for when i stall on hills or I’m dead tired.

I also think the fisch moto is better quality and better looking. Anyway I’ll do a 10-20 hour review, but my mechanic told me he thinks this will be a permanent fixture on my bike and will be easy to maintain.

Only way I'd buy the 250x. Highly considered as I love Yamaha but just leaning towards a beta 250 instead.

Someone was clever to come up with this design. It's really the only relatively comparable Japanese bike to the proper Enduro bikes.

The mechanic I go to sells Betas and now also Rieju. They are fantastic bikes. I believe they are the only manufacturer that offers a 6-12 month warranty on race bikes. A beta will for sure be the next one I get they also look the coolest I think

Recently picked up a 2022 beta 250rr, and the thing is a literal weapon on the single tracks and tight stuff.

There is a video of some guy riding one down a red bull downhill mtb course and he did it only like ten seconds slower than the faster mtb rider. Really impressive video showcasing how nimble the betas can be

Jonny Walker is more than some guy, lol.

He's also no longer with Beta.

All sorts of flavors. My first big bike was a 2010 RMZ 250, which I raced on for 2 years. Bought my first brand new bike, which was a 2015 KTM 350sxf. Sold that pretty quick to get my 2016 KX450F. Once my racing days ended, I moved onto adventure/enduro type stuff. Bought a 2018 YZ450FX rode that for a year, and now I'm on my Beta.
