Headshake Started a new thread Choosing a suspension shop

1/14/2015 9:51am
I am considering having my YZ250 suspension revalved and have a couple questions about how to choose a suspension shop. I have used big suspension companies in the past and have been satisfied for the most part with the results. I am considering using a local company for the first time to work on this YZ but I’m a little...

Thanks for the information Chris. I was not aware that Manchester Honda/KTM was a Race Tech Center. I will definitely consider that as an option.

If someone made a motocross movie drama including all of the Alessi shenanigans over the years people would laugh at the plot, calling it far fetched and ridiculous.

Headshake Started a new thread 250 two stroke rear tire size

4/5/2014 4:16pm
I will be replacing the rear tire on my 2009 YZ250 and was wondering if anyone has used a 120 instead of a 110. Just wanted to hear any pros or cons in making a change to the wider rear tire.

Headshake Added a reply to Southwick season update?

3/20/2014 6:26pm
The Southwick Board of Selectmen had a public informational meeting scheduled for last night about the track but it was postponed. Not sure why it was postponed. Last I heard they were still working with the town to resolve the zoning/permit issues.

Headshake Added a reply to Southwick announces end of operation

1/9/2014 8:46pm
I agree with you Nick about how strange it is to see the NESC schedule without Southwick on it. I hope the track is not doomed but that is definitely a bad sign. Hopefully some more information comes out about this.

Headshake Started a new thread YZ250 Wheel Options

12/10/2013 5:37pm
I'm looking for some advice on the best option for repairing or upgrading the wheels on my 2009 YZ250. Both the front and rear wheels are stock and both rims have flat spots. The spokes on both wheels appear to be in need of replacement as well. I am considering the option of replacing the rims and spokes on both...

Headshake Started a new thread YZ250 Crankcase fix

12/9/2013 7:29pm
I have been working to get my 2009 YZ250 ready for sale when I discovered a hole in the case right in front of the countershaft sprocket. The hole looks like it was repaired with JB Weld or something similar. It was hidden behind the countershaft sprocket cover/guard and I didn't know about it until now. I'm the third owner...

I'm bringing it to a welder this week to have it looked at and I'll take it from there. I then have to figure out if I want to tackle splitting the cases myself or not. If I end up getting it repaired I'll throw some pics up here to see what you guys think. Thanks again for the input.

12/8/2013 3:56pm
I'm definitely not looking to get top dollar for it. It's a high hour bike that I bought as a project but I just don't have time for it. I just want to repair it so I can be up front with a potential buyer about the condition and know the bike is safe and not a time bomb. I...

After checking with my local shop this morning about the cost of having the wheels built I think I'm going to go the Ebay route. The costs of good rims and spokes sets online plus the labor costs are getting way beyond what I want to spend. I was hoping to spend max $200 per wheel and got a bit...
