    You guys are killing me.LOL I reached out to the seller and let him know I am still wanting the bike. Wanting not needing but what's the difference right? I hope to make it happen this week. Heck I already downloaded the shop manual and read it start to finish.:D

    Looking back I wish I had never sold any of my dirt bikes. Well, maybe the TC250. That bike did not like me, at all.

    If you want a spare stock seat, let me know.... It yours, as I doubt I'll get another ZRX. I put a Corbin on mine, for the passenger back rest for my wife.

    I should add, with a wife, two teenage daughters, a pug that is dumb as a rock, another dog, and a horse at home, a 20 hour day by myself to go pick up a motorcycle was like a vacation for me. I loved every minute of it! F250 rolling, tunes cranking.

    Like a boss.

    Who's driven the longest to get their bike stories, best thread jack ever! Ha ha...

    Rode the CR250 again yesterday. Forks seemed stiff and harsh. Let what seemed like 30 PSI out, much better :D but still just average. Motor continues to impress. Lugs and pulls of the bottom like a 300. Linear power everywhere. Handling is a little twitchy. Bars need raised a good bit for me. Will keep massaging. Fun bike. Still dont think it is going to displace my much loved 165 any time soon.

    Lol we have totally hijacked Kelly's thread!
    I think I have a good one.. I drove from PA to SC to pick up an Aprilia Mille, trailered it to my brother's house in Gulfport, MS, rode with him for a week, then trailered it home to PA.

    If you are staying in the woods, about 13/48 with a 10 or 12oz FWW is really good.

    If you want to ride on the pipe all the time like a 22yo Pro, then 13/50 with not weight.

    I like both, but this old man can't do the latter all day long, anymore. It's good for fast 1 hour GP or MX, but just too much for a long race. Either way, you have some killer top end power when you want, but you can lug the 13/48 with FWW like a good enduro bike and still fly.

    The motor needs nothing but a Lectron which is going to happen for better MPG and crisper throttle response. It does not need a FWW for me, is perfect. Lugs like a 300 and impossible to stall. just need to gear it up and sort the suspension some. Shes kinda ugly but a great woods bike and likes to climb big hills.

    Kinda joking. Kinda. In my 165 i am running ATF and it works fantastic. Old school guys used to do it and I tried it in my dampers and found it to be uber slick. So tried it in my revavled 165 forks and love it plus it is cheap. I would think if you dont revalve it might be to stiff. Does not hurt anything so you could try it if you wanted. Not a recommendation but works well for me. It is a very good hydraulic fluid with most the right properties.

    I am thinking of biting the bullet and just selling my keihihn on ebay to afford going with lectron , mainly for gas mileage. I seem to get about 22 mph now in the tight stuff and around 30 when duel sporting it. What I should I expect afterwards with the lectron?
