Good job mate!
I backed of my compression by two clicks on my last two laps at the 12 hour and it definitely helped. Can’t wait to hear from your next round.

Teknik Nick and I were toying around with a similar option for the 250X as we both agree that a lighter bike is more fun with more ponies inside, I have a 450X but my friend had a 250X and it was way more fun to ride on single tracks. But with a few more ponies it would stand up in corners and leap tall buildings in a single bound we wreckon and be as exciting as a dung beetle in a cow yard! :laugh: but for what it’s worth I think you will be impressed with what you can achieve with your idea. if you need any questions answered post it on the Teknik forum and Nick will point you in the right direction.cheers
KRIf you and Nick were handed a 250x and an open cheque book what would you do?

the rookie wrote:Yea raced 2 rounds there so far, first round had a cracker but 2nd round not so good … 3rd corner 1st race got way out of line and we went for a trip over the hangers with a cartwheeling 450x chasing me, knocked the wind out of me and thought I broke my ankle but all good now haha
I installed some nice new heavy duty tubes as I’ve been there 2 times and had 4 flats … safe to say I am now pretty good at tube changes haha hopefully won’t have to do that tomorrow
Mate can do but what’s this crap about been on 250’s ! I’ve been reading your thread with great interest !Agreed. Give us an update Aaron!!!!!

Looking good mate!!
Sounds like you have some good mods to look forward too.

This was how I rode my last lap :silly:

My advice would be to check the same things you would on a 690. Are the mirrors straight? Is it running slicks, and is there no dirt on it. I have attached an example of how it should look below. :laugh:

Aaron wrote:Snowy i have been riding :blink:The last two rides I went on were at the qurindi motocross club and the power and handling of the YZ was very addictive and I so know what husky bloke is up to. If I took the 250 there I would have to replace the valves every second ride. Lol. Alright I will admit it you guys are riding so much faster now that you are not riding ag bikes :silly: And no boony I don’t want a 350 as if you read back in this thread you will see that I think the power of the 350 is closer to 450 not a 250. So if I was going much bigger I would just get the 450. Also the latest adb said the stock crf 250x would suit a beginner. :ohmy: I don’t want to be a beginner so I will compensate with some mods. 👿
You would smash those two on an MTB mate so no need to upsize for that reason :laugh:
Looking forward to seeing the progress of your project. The SS valves fix the stock issue. I put Kibblewhites in mine before it had even hit four figures on the clock, problem solved. Maybe if you leave it in the sun for a while the plastics will fade to orange and Boony will start to like it.STM
Happy 50th mate.
Apparently it’s the new 40STM
Happy B’Day Amy!
Next year is 39, and so is the year after that and the year after that and the…………….

Have a great day mate and I look forward to catching up with you for a ride soon.
