(1/2) > >>

hey guys whats up, my name is grant and i am from mid michigan. ive always liked motocross and all that ive known about a bike is their basic design and how they worked. but how to ride em or how they should work and look correctly is beyond me haha. i just recently got a very clean very nice 90 kx 250. engine has been redone. it has a psi pipe, stock silencer and v force reeds. high compression wiesco piston flywheel weight. i am very afraid of this bike haha. i traded my 98 yamaha beartracker quad for this bike. when i got it it was leaking gear oil and the chain snapped on the first holeshot i took. i am in the process of restoring it little by little, new plastics have been ordered, paint, clutch, bars, tires, shift lever, brakes. when it rolls out of the garage this spring it will look just as it did when it rolled off the showroom floor in 1990.

so, anyone from mid michigan wanna go riding sometime, send me a pm! kinda sucks riding by yourself.

Welcome!! :-)


but if i may ask ,why trade a 98 beartracker for a 90 kx250 :?
or do i miss something?

I am completely redoing my 91 kx 500  I think plastics will have to wait for my wallet to recover though... Everything else  is new or refurbished, new bearings end to end, motor top and bottom, new rims and tires rebuilt forks and shock, sprockets, chain, hand grips. next spring I'll do the exhaust, brakes, handlebars and plastics.....But welcome to the site

Welcome to the group Grant. I live thousands of miles from you in Northern Ca.. Anyway, just take your time riding and learning. Dont even try to ride like guys who been at it for a while. The most important thing is to just have FUN. Let me tell you something, I just busted up my knee real bad and been off work laying on the couch for two months.....that isnt fun. Dirt Bikin' is fun.
Isnt there lots of riding places in Michigan? The only place in Michigan I've ever been is Bay City and there seemed like lots of good riding places.?.?
