You will find the kx will need Very little parts in it's life.. Tires chains sprockets....
Your 250f on the otherhand... Is a ticking timebomb grenade of a motor waiting to cost you $3500
BronkoRob:
dont remind me! this is my first and last 4 stroke. maybe an xr one day, but never again with the high strung indy car 4 strokes. yeah it was just TOO good to pass up, so i rolled home with a KX in the truck and a not so happy wife in the garage...lol i got the kx is priced kinda high so the YZ should sell sooner :evil: glad the wife doesnt check this place out...lol but until than i got to register the bike and im ready to ride! like i said i need to get some seat time on this bad boy.
BronkoRob:
im am here to stay. managed to get out of the doghouse and keep the green machine. so anyone in the market for an 01 YZ250F..??? would make a great bike for someones grandmother..lol im sure once you get in good with the 500 everything else is a disappointment as far as dirt bikes go.

Awesome!!! Local guys on 500s....
Did you ride it yet?
check jetting?
BronkoRob:
i have taken it up and down the street so far...lol i now know what you guys are talking about with the surging of power after full throttle. so from what i have read that means the jetting is close to where it needs to be...? something new to me that i will have to get used too. from what i have ridden on the bike the jetting seems good, love the 2 stroke throttle response, runs smooth and starts right up. i dont have my notebook with me, but i believe the main was a 168, i want to say the pilot was 58?? or at least near there, and clip is center of needle. the bike is bone stock, so its probably whatever it came with from the factory. i will have to search around here to see what i should be running for this elevation. any hot tips or setup advice? ive ordered fork seals, chain, and fork guards for it, so once i swap those out i will take it out to ride for real and see what it can really do. only bummer is the red sticker, D*#* you california!! so once im in "season" i will be riding as often as i can, and always looking for people to ride with.
