Traded the 450 in and went back to a two stroke for the first time in 15 years. At (almost) 48 years young, I finally decided that while I'm probably faster racing on a 4 stroke, I will have more fun on a 2 stroke...if I finish a couple spots further back, who really cares? Let the build begin!

I made this same move to the same bike a while back. 
Spend time with those forks! If you can get them right, it’ll really change the whole chassis and how it reacts. 
One of my takeaways going back to a 2 stroke 250, I never realized how short the gears were. You are literally shifting in seconds just to keep the powercurve in place. 
 

It’s not a successful transfer until you’re running race gas. That smell needs to be present to make it official.

Sweet looking bike right off the showroom floor.  Congrats.

What are you building?  What problems are you trying to solve, or improvements to make?

Good man! I sold my 350 for a YZ250 a couple years ago and I love it! 

I ride because it's fun, not for results/money. 2 strokes are the way to go for most folks. 

I hope Husky makes a TC 300 next year, I'd buy one the second they're available!
