I used a TMD GP guide on my 250SX and now I use an Acerbis one on my FC250. I think the TM one was better, but not for the noise … mainly for the wear. I don't recall hearing either of them.

My initial thought is that they were grooming him to fill Toby's spot as he drives off into the sunset, but you might be right about Kevin. There is an extra brand in the mix and those Rally guys fall hard (leg/neck/head injury) so it might not hurt ... more »

Time to ride some other bikes and have some other vet riders try yours and see if anything is out of whack. A LOT can go wrong from when the bike was released to today. Most people have ZERO regard for how good a stock bike can be.

Thank you for all the data/weights! All I can say is I hate the feeling of an ultra heavy duty tube in my front tire when whipping the front wheel left and right off jumps or between trees. I can 100% feel the inertia of that sucker.

I have a good stash of 110/80-19s … my personal favorite on the 250f when the track is not too square edge.

Man, to be 40 and live in OC is to know most of this freaking list! I've seen Franklin, Tooma and Tze. Luckily my wrists are good.
