Hello from Texas
« on: November 07, 2006, 11:07:33 AM »
I found this sight while looking for info about my "new to me" '03 KX250. I found some good stuff on here about setting the bikes up for woods / trail work. I've been riding for most of my life... and since I'm an old fart, that is a looong time.
I recently felt the call of the 2 stroke  :-D and bought the KX. I fell for the great
ergonomics of the bike (I was previously a Yamaha fan  :oops:) I had foot surgery
the day after buying it so I have not had time to really ride it yet. The foot's toast for
another 5 weeks..... which is a good thing. I intend a total tear-down of the bike
and a full maintenance rebuild.... just to make sure that everything is where it
should be and that it's all nice and tight.  :wink:
The bike (motor) sounds good and solid, with very little / no KIPS noise.
It has a PC Works pipe on it with V-force reeds and it's really quick. I might get
a Gnarly for it though to help with the low end needed for woods etc... I'll keep
you all posted on the progress.
