All 2st Please post pictures of your 2 stroke bikes.

What can I say..... I'm vertically challenged

do most of your riding on the pegs I guess or use a haemorrhoid donut in the arse of ya pants?!

Yeh I have tried one of those but it leaves a rash that takes a week to settle down !!
Before I cut the seat foam down I would struggle when jumping big logs and getting stuck on rocks and stuff on slow technical rides.

Had a nice little ride with some friends yesterday. Got a big ole dinger in my pipe though. DOH

LAHuskyRider, I got one of those in the background. Sweet bike.

Not trying to hijack the thread though...oops

Kick stand? Where did you find one that doesn't mount to the swing arm? Just curious!

My 03 YZ250 has a Trail Tech kickstand that mounts with 2 bolts to the frame. Where you would bolt on the frame guard. It was only about $50 and never gave me any issues in 3 years of solid riding year round.

There more like over 100.00, I've looked before.

Yes, Kelly is correct, its the Pro Moto Billet. Spendy, but well worth it IMO. When I replaced the YZ250 with a KTM 125 SX, ordered a PMB kickstand right away for that one too.

Maybe I should get one for my christmas gift to self. After all, when I ride into town it will look funny leaning up against the wall.

Do it!

2 seconds after I installed my first one on my YZ and moved the bike around the garage without having to lean it against something or find the stupid triangle stand I was like "Oh my god why didn't I buy this thing sooner?!"

Its even better out on the trail, same deal, no farking around looking for a place to lean it against, just stop, kickstand down, done.

And to get back on track with this thread, here's a '76 250 WR that I bought cheaply with the intentions of fixing up a bit. Life got busy, I never touched it, finally sold it to someone with the same plan. Have regretted selling it ever since. It was pretty complete.

But no kickstand LOL.

Unfortunately, we always regret the sale. I am kicking my own butt after selling my sweet 08 SM610.

Then there is the blown rod bearing in my sons YZ this saturday. Sure happy 2T's are fixed on the cheap.

Wow! I stand corrected. The price definitely came up since I bought mine

I did it anyway, had a frequent 50 and a 10% so I figured what the heck. Don't need to lean it up against anything once I get it.

Yep, had an early 70's Husky 400 rolling frame project for a while too before I found the '76 250. For some reason I was thinking I would make time to resurrect these bikes, but after having them for a year or so and basically never touching them, I let them go.

But I haven't given up on the idea of getting a vintage Husky dirt bike so I'll keep those mid 80's WR400's in mind Kelly, thanks.

She's finally here
New 2012 wr250


She also came with this


Didn't get to try full throttle yet, she's still in her break in period. But I did feel a slight hesitation around mid rpm. Is that normal and will it improve once broken in? Or is it bad jetting?

It could be jetting but the bike needs to be broken in and completely warmed up before you can really judge the motor response.
