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

Time for a little winter wrenching? Good time for it with all this snow.

Yep just gettin some maintenance done and a different look for this year

Nice bike, what is the divice in front of the spark plug? Looks to be diaphram operated, is it a thermostat or is it a compression release?? I have a 1998 wrx250 with similiar motor, it has nothing like that on it. Did it come that way stock?

Just curious, Thanks.

It's an aftermarket vacuum operated auto-decompression release developed in Australia for the WR360's. The 360 has the same kick starter as your 250.......not good for the big 360 compression. The bike kicks over like a 125 until the bike fires up then the vacuum chamber closes. Pretty trick huh!? Too bad they don't manufacture this piece anymore.

ya mean im not pozed ta pin it in 3rd through the rocks??? (kablang! psssssssshhhht....flop flop flop flop) finally found something that slows the 3-ton down....a flat front tire! BAROOOP! weeeee!

HNY husky heads!

Where you been man ! Barooop!

hehehehe...burried in my shop...fixing stuff! including some of mine! mreep mreeep braaap barooop! weeee!

the 1989 KX125 "basket case" got a new name....client brought some graphics in...for a 2002 KX250. so...snip snip....few hours later and some made scissor skills? it's now the "lil green monster" mreeep mreep....got a brand new old school naked DG pipe for it too...wont be long til its on the track. the shock shaft had to go out for a re-chrome. fark! and whomever put the clutch in it, well, it was WRONG. so we fixed that too. luckily no parts were needed. this things gona style AND rip!

Hurry up and wear out those stock tires haha. You will be amazed how much better the bike will grip with good tires on it. I brake steer in the woods alot and my stock rear tire was awful

Yeah, Michelin Comp Enduro ? is that the same as an M12 ? I know tire threads are about as bad as oil threads as in many different opinions but
one tire that I haven't tried on the rear is a Maxis Intermediate Desert tire. Tried the Max Cross EN front tire and it seemed to wear out very fast.
If anyone has got some feedback on the Maxis rears they'd like to share, that would be cool or what rear is their tire of choice?

All I know is that an M59 is the front tire to have out this way. Ive had good luck with Vee Rubber and Pirelli rears also.

Aftermath of yesterdays Hangover race. It has snowed the week prior then rained in the morning. Ugh, what a mess.



Stuck in a rut. The front wheel is in so deep that the fork guards are almost below ground level.

I've never tried that M59. It's billed as a soft/intermediate tire, but Kurt, if you like it, I have to assume it works well in the rocks too? Did you run it for any of the sand races down in NJ?

Sounds like I may add that to my short list after the Washougal on my bike and the MX51 in the garage wear out...

IMO, the M59 is about the best "do all" tire out there. If you have a 59 on the front, you're about covered for whatever you run across.

I ran it in the sand and I am not good in the sand lol. I was putting too much weight on the front end. So maybe not good feedback there...
I rode with it at Blue Diamond and it felt great.
Its superb in the rocks and mud plus it only took me asking Stoner one time while we were out riding; "What front tire is the best, most versatile for the stuff we race?" He said "M59, period."
I like the Vee Rubber rear tire but it gets shredded fast in the rocky stuff.
