huck2flat Started a new thread 2014-15 RMZ250 reliability? Losing power fast?
10/20/2015 9:12pm So I'm in the market for a new 250 here pretty soon, and I have it down to two bikes. An rmz250, and a kx250f(because they're the cheapest). Both brand new, either 2014 or 2015 models. I had my mind set on the Suzuki because I would rather have the better handling over the better motor personally, but after hearing...

10/20/2015 11:15am Just an update. Ended up choosing the Suzuki lol. This thread had me set on the Kawi for a little bit, but I eventually came to my senses and decided to stick with my gut haha. Also, I actually had the chance to ride a 14 kx250f and didnt really like it.. But I'll post pics later or possibly even...

8/26/2015 9:35pm Looked around some other sites and forums as well. By the sounds of it the Suzuki seems to be a reliable bike.. I've noticed it's really only some of the magazine reviews that say it loses power rapidly.

8/20/2015 4:05pm I'm sure the kx is a solid bike, I'm just leaning towards the Suzuki. Just waiting to hear a few more opinions and past experiences before I decide on one or the other. I appreciate everybody's input so far.

8/20/2015 12:20am "Handles like a semi" was a slight exaggeration, haha. But it's definitly not the best handling bike in the class. Actually, I think it's the worst. That's just based off of what I've heard and read.. I can't say from personal experience.

8/19/2015 11:44pm I like what I'm hearing so far. Hopefully those guys that experienced the issues just had a couple lemons.

8/19/2015 11:40pm Yeah, that's good to hear. I do race but I'm good about maintenance. My plan was to replace the piston at around 35 hours or so like you stated. Thanks for the reply

7/20/2015 4:18pm So I have a 2006 Honda CRF 250R, and it's leaking a significant amount of oil out of the crankcase breather hose. I'll change my oil to factory spec, then making sure it's all the way to the top line on the dipstick. But after about 30 minutes on the meter, if that, it's near or below the bottom line...

7/20/2015 2:19pm It would seem very difficult to suck dirt into the motor since it's blowing out so much smoke and oil from that hose. But I guess it's possible.. Also, in the description of the aftermarket hose routing by Tokyo mods it says it actually increases reliability and power.

7/18/2015 11:37am So when I drained and measured the tranny oil after a day of riding it was still to spec. So I have my doubts it's the seal that separates the two sides. Another person said it could be a cracked ring, but it would be burning oil and smoking if that was the case, wouldn't it?

7/8/2015 10:08pm Yes, I'm aware there's two different hoses, but I'm talking about the one coming off the valve cover. I've always know it as a crankcase breather hose, and it has a single aftermarket hose that bypasses the airbox to eliminate the dirty, hot air from going back into the motor so that's why it came with the little plug so...

7/8/2015 1:31am Possibly, but I always put in exactly what the manual calls for. But I'll make sure to measure both sides and see. Thanks for the help so far everyone. Hopefully I can get this problem situated soon..

7/6/2015 9:53pm So if the tranny oil was transferring to the motor oil side, then it would be spitting out excess oil from the crankcase breather hose, right? But wouldn't that mean my motor oil would constantly be overfull and showing so on the dipstick? That's what makes me think it wouldn't be that seal.
