They changed the rules to 45min+1 lap. They used to wait till the leader came around to put out the white flag, but now they throw it exactly at 45:00. That usually shortens the race by a few minutes. Stock Jap 250s are designed to go 45 min +1 lap with ... more »

I have some KTM orange brigade graphics and factory trim kit for sale. PM me if you're interested.

Oh, my goodness, I just bought an Italian seat cover for my KTM when these guys are literally 5 minutes from where I work. Dang it! Thanks for posting.

Interested to hear how it goes. Rave reviews for RK heads for the XC/XCW guys who all start with low compression and wide squish from KTM/Husq. The TC and SX come standard with it quite a lot higher/tighter from the factory but I'm RK will make some ... more »

Great choice of bikes! Take a look at your owners manual for suggested sag numbers. It looks like you're in the correct weight range for the stock springs, or at least close to it. Are you sure you have the EXC? EXC is street legal and will have low-emission ... more »

You pay for what you get: plenty of track time and awesome conditions. Beats local MX by far, IMHO!

YZ250 takes 750 ml. The check bolt is too low. If you run it with 400 ml or less, the transmission and clutch will start to make noises. This happens when you have a right side crank seal leak. https://thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/1047534-2013-yz250-oil-level/

I have a good used rim from a WR250F. PM if interested.

Friend who races YZ250 on tusk wheels in the desert said it was a pain point for those wheels. I think he rebuilt them with Buchannan spokes. Light and fast young kid.

He would be a good choice for factory Honda, if something were to happen to Roczen or Brayton. I know that fans don't see him like that yet, but after a few years with CDR Yam in AU, that's exactly the caliber of rider I see in him.

I know they have a solid rider in Clout. Not sure on the team they have behind them, but they must have connected with the right people to get the bike and practice track access figured out. There is a lot to doing well at SX, but those are some of the ... more »

Practice is the event called unclassified. There is a Saturday and Sunday morning Unclassified events, and there might be one on Friday afternoon, too.

Ok, I just got more interested in this bike … I might be racing one in Baja (2020 YZ250FX) We'll be running the bike for up to 28hrs straight mainly in 4th/5th and 6th gears.

Nice looking pipe! I was scotchbright-ing my pipe last night in the rain, thinking about this too, lol.
