The Hitlis Story
Since its initial release in 1974, I, along with countless others, believe the Yamaha YZ250 (and YZ250X) to be the best off-road motorcycle ever made. However, there is one often-cited issue with the current generation’s engine that has persisted since its introduction in 1999: it does not provide a linear power output. Additionally, no aftermarket parts have been able to offer the combination of full power and smooth control that everyone desires.
Among the many thousands of hours I have spent riding, working on, and trying to perfect these bikes, I found myself making a cutaway engine. This revealed the reason for the non-linear power delivery: spring resistance inside the PV box. While this spring resistance was necessary to activate the secondary power valves, it was unintentionally disrupting the linear nature of the governor. So, I set out to fix it.
With God’s help, I was able to envision a new system that linked the power valves to the governor while simultaneously eliminating this spring resistance. This new patented system gives the governor complete control of the power valves, and thus complete control of the power output. From there, my focus turned to the governor, and a new governor spring was created to leverage Yamaha's superior cylinder and power valve design. Additionally, adjustability was incorporated into this new governor spring, allowing each rider to fine-tune it to their liking; you can mellow it out as much as you want, or speed it up as much as you can handle. These improvements then highlighted the need to change the valve sequencing in order to make the perfect release of linear power. After trying hundreds of sequence combinations, we were able to accomplish just that.
What’s it like to ride? Simply put, it’s incredible. The bike’s acceleration and deceleration are as smooth as glass. Your newfound control of the power output makes you feel like a surgeon with a scalpel. Everything seems to work better; the traction is better, the suspension works better, the braking is more effective. You end up being smoother, which is safer, while at the same time faster and less fatigued.
All of the components of the HITLIS kit are patented and made in the U.S.A., using the highest quality methods and materials. Step-by-step installation videos on our website make installing the kit easy for riders of all mechanical abilities. Whether you’re plunking around with the kids, in competition, or both, the HITLIS kit will elevate your riding experience. It is the first thing that should be done to these bikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the HITLIS kit do for my YZ250 and YZ250X?
The HITLIS kit improves throttle response and power valve control, offering smoother and more precise power delivery for technical and high-speed terrain.
Which kit should I choose?
The Woods Kit is ideal for slow, technical riding, while the Desert Kit excels in high-speed environments.
Is the HITLIS kit easy to install?
Yes, we provide an installation guide and video to simplify the process.
Is the kit compatible with my bike?
HITLIS kits are designed specifically for Yamaha YZ250 and YZ250X models.
This is a great part. When riding a YZ, there are times when the rear traction is lost, but with Hitlis attached, the traction does not drop and the bike moves forward. The power does not decrease, but it becomes usable. They ship outside of the US, so if you are even slightly interested, you should buy it.

A CONSEILLER
Ever bought something that kind of helps or makes a little difference? NOT with the Hitlis. There is no "placebo" effect with this product, it works! I installed this on my 2024 yz250x. The 250x definitely has a hit that causes lots of wheel spin. With the Hitlis, the bike puts power to the ground and moves you forward. Don't get me wrong, I can still spin the rear wheel if I want, the power is still there. It's just that the "hit" is gone. Less tiring to ride the bike? Yes. I read quite a bit about this product and the reviews. It almost sounded to good to be true. I'm glad to report the reviews are spot on. The only thing I found is the videos don't really do the Hitlis justice. If you get a chance to ride a bike with it, do it. Install instructions and videos were excellent. Best purchase I have made for this bike!
I bought a Hitlis woods kit for my Yz250x and it was a game changer, best mod I’ve ever made to any of my Yz’s and I’ve been riding Yamahas for 40 years!! Within a week I ordered another Hitlis for my Big bore Yz300, since I don’t do hard enduro , Tim suggested the Desert Kit, along with new jetting . The bike is an absolute beast now!! Smooth , yet more power all through the power band!! I also own 2 Ktm 300 fuel injected 23 model bikes, and to be honest they will probably stay in the garage this year because the Hitlis kit has made everything else obsolete, Tim also has the best customer service and support of any aftermarket company I have delt with!! I highly recommend if you have a Yz , do yourself a favor and order a Hitlis!!
