Just over 10 years ago I sold my cherry 2003 XR250 and I kick myself every single day for it. What an awesome bike that thing was, just didn’t appreciate it at the time.

4/16/2026 8:07pm Once I get that far south I keep heading farther and end up down by American Falls. Not sure why, I know there is good riding there, just what inevitability happens! Have ridden in the Pioneers (Wise River/Wisdom) to the North of there for decades up until the Alder Creek/Christiansen Fires wiped almost everything out a few years ago. Can...

4/16/2026 4:59pm Xtrainer is kinda in a no man's land like mentioned above for the CRF300F. But it definitely has a niche due to it's size compared to normal 300s. A very very successful niche!

4/16/2026 4:49pm Depends if I'm feeling like a smoker day or thumper day. For those trips it can be the KDX250 or the XR650R. I'm a bit on the bigger side, so the KDX200 and XR400 get a we bit anemic at altitude! And also depends how stupid the trip is going to get. If stealth is also going to be a...

4/16/2026 12:18pm I've ridden all the newer Beta and KTM 300 (and 350) smokers. Is my KDX a better performing machine? Absolutely not! Is the KDX the more comfortable machine for an entire day of riding? Yes, yes it is. And it's not even close.

4/16/2026 10:27am Someone got excited and way overtightened things. Bummer. For the petcock holes that the eJot screws go into, I don't really fix them. I take a clipped end from a zip tie, lay it in the hole cut flush so it doesnt lift the petcock up, then run the screw(s) in. For the brass seat retaining insert you are more...

Watch Suzuki come out with a RMZ350, electric start, A-kit suspension, etc and the people that told them they wanted it will be nowhere to be found because it’s not $6500 😂

4/14/2026 3:30pm I've done a survey for Honda back in the past, was a basically a test/feeler for what was eventually released as the CRF/RX line. This sure seems a lot more scattershot than what a Japanese OEM would do. I was DQ'd because I also clicked on other (using my phone). May try from a different ISP on my laptop later...

4/9/2026 5:43am My FitBit keeps track of all that stuff. Has seemed pretty accurate to me. Started with the original Charge and now on the newest version. They only last about a year and half for me as I end up jacking the screen/faceplate when reaching up into the engine bay from under a car or truck. I've got sleep apnea and...

4/2/2026 5:34pm Those colors don't run.... Right up until it is time to show out against the best the world has at Nations. Then they run as far away as they can. Fact.

4/2/2026 2:43pm Anyone that has followed Dakar at all knows the story of Brabec's bike getting jacked with. It was at the remote bivouac for the marathon stage. No team members, no pits. Just a spot for them all to sleep, a few officials to watch over, and that's it. All the bikes parked outside under the stars in the sand in...

4/2/2026 10:56am When I used to work for a KTM dealer, 300 models out sold 250s at a 5 to 1 ratio. Only reason we even had 250s was because it was a requirement with your allotment. The only thing more niche in the dirt bike market than motocross is trials. About the only way we could get rid of the 250cc...

4/1/2026 1:41pm It was built as a street legal bike in Asia (competing with the Honda CRM250R) so we just got the version stripped of blinkers, steel fuel tank, and other legal stuff. Note that KDX250SR was sold for quite a bit longer in Asia than it ever was here. From an economics/resources standpoint, cheaper/easier for Kawasaki to strip the SR and...

For those in other parts of the country/world who say, "non-moto": It's very "moto" for us on the West Coast who ride/race Baja and serve the Rally community. If you don't care, there's plenty of Deegan threads for you to read.

4/1/2026 12:57pm Chassis is definitely a goofball, but the engine crosses over with KX250 and KX500 parts if you've got the time and energy to hunt things down. Kawasaki used different part numbers on the fiche even if the parts were identical to a KX model.

4/1/2026 11:18am The SLR crew was headed out the evening before the race to set up an emergency pit location and camp for the night. The only access was up that wash which would be closed due to being live race course in the morning, so hence why the SLR crew was there. The SLR guys came up on the rocks, seeing...

4/1/2026 3:22am I don't race SCORE, I stick to State side stuff (BITD/UNLTD) but no, sabotaging lines is NOT normal at all. Now,, finding hot lines and masking them if you can while prerunning by throwing a bit of brush in front? Common. The smoking gun in all of this would be the SD card in the GPS of that CanAm.

3/31/2026 5:54pm Following this since it came out on RDC forum when he was caught. Even if Toby didn't do it himself, team members did. As Driver of Record Toby is responsible for his team's actions. Just how it works. With everything out there, Toby still hasn"t denied any of the accusations. We will never be privy to all of the info...

3/28/2026 10:37am Speaking of 30yr old bikes... I decided not to wait any longer on Kawasaki. Maybe when Team Green gets their poop in a group I will pick up a new one to park next to the old one I got yesterday. And just for nostalgia, my very first MX race at 17 in the spring of 1992 on, yup, a...
