Yeah, I've only got to put about 20 minutes of ride time on it. When I got it, I couldn't get it to start. I kicked it so much the home made hack job of a kicker extension broke. Found out the valves were WAY out of spec and fixed those. Went to ride a little one day and made about 3 laps and it jumped time. Found out the the timing chain was really stretched and the tensioner had been rigged up too. It had a nut welded to the end to take up slack. Got a new piston, timing chain, and timing chain tensioner for it. Then, found out while putting all that stuff in that the crank is about shot so I got to get a crank too now.  But, what little I've ridden it here's what I think so far. The power is about the same, maybe a little better than my YFZ was. The handling is better than my YFZ was. Especially the turning and in air adjustments. Plus, I just like the feel of a 250R so I've wanted a 4 stroke 250R for as long as I could remember. It's exactly what I thought it would be, riding a 250R but with the power of a 4 stroke. |

Oh, it deffinately pisses me off!! This thing has pissed me off, now it's personal. It's now my goal to make this thing as bad ass as I can. I might put myself in the poorhouse doing it but I'm sure gonna try.
