2010 TC250 in the house!

Can't wait to go get it dirty!

Congrats! Now get it dirty and tell us all about it please.

Nice! Congrats.

Its a new motor but still has that Husky look. Its a pretty machine. it looks like you got the KYB forks-they are really good on WRF etc.
Do you recon this will be the format of new 310, 450 and 510 donks for say 2011?
Give us all the dope after your ride the good the bad and the ugly.

Have a great first ride-there is nothing like the first ride its just a majic day-get heaps of shots for the rest of us to drool and enjoy with you.

I thought the 2010 TC, TXC and TE 250 was all going to have efi

I see the TXC and TE does but didn't realize the TC would remain a carb.

I, for one, hope it remains that way until the Japs prove it's better or fail dismally... or until someone can make tuning software that's intuitive and a laptop that'll hold up to dust, rain, mud for "trackside" tweaks

So Paulee, we have not heard a ride report. Did you get to ride it yet?

My 2008 TE250/310 ran at least as well as my 2007 TE250 with the JD jetting kit. At sea level they were likely a match but as soon as you start gaining elevation, the EFI bike ran better hands down. I'd rather have EFI that only ever performed at 99% of perfect but all the time than a carbed bike that runs at 100% perfect at only a set elevation/temperature.

Gotta work. First ride this Monday.

Hey Pauleee need to ask if the bash plate for 2010 fit into a My08 and 09 frame.. if it is able too i would get a husky bash plate for my self and my friend.

Yesss! Finally got to sneak in a ride and it runs strong. I wasn't ringing its neck too hard, you know breaking it in and all so true top end is still unknown but man does it have midrange like crazy. More than any stock 250f I have ridden recently. Will give better report on the motor after break in. When I did after ride valve inspection two valves were a little on the tight side.

Suspension was great for a first ride and the bike steered wherever I pointed it. The Kayaba is definately firmer than the Marzocchi fork and it soaked up big stuff real good. The brakes were strong and have very progressive feel. I'm used to running Dunlop 756 or MX51 tires on my other bikes and to me the Pirellis didn't feel as good. Maybe I'll come around to them as I get the suspension dialed in.

I'll check on that skid plate fitment with another bike at the shop. I think it should fit. I hope so, because it has nice coverage, is light, looks great and because its plastic, probably doesn't cost much.

Thanks for the quick report.
