It's an 05. You can tell by the gold high speed adjuster on the shock and the old style fork guard mount arrangement.

First thing I did when I bought my bike. That and put a 203 front 180 rear brake rotors. Nashbar had (has?) a good deal on a fluid trainer for $130 and free shipping. Shit's too muddy here. I'll ride inside so I can eat pizza and watch top gear.

I'm curious.. I'm an engineer but not a fluid dynamics and thermo type. Can you explain why/how a slightly rougher tract can cause slower fluid flow in a system where the fluid is pumped and under pressure? You talk about surface tension caused by the tube, but isn't surface tension a factor of the liquid and not the tube? Surface...

It was a local harescramble in 2000. I was on a 1994 rm125. Got halfway through the parade lap and chickened out. Dad convinced me to line up on the start. I was so nevous I left the choke on (for whatever reason.. the bike was already warm) Fouled the plug in the first 20 feet. Dad changed the plug...

Go to your local bearing shop and get proper bearings for the swap. It will be cheaper than paying a machine shop to make you a sleeve.

Truthiness. My brand loyalty lies with Yamaha. Reliability and performance will probably keep my riding blue for a while. As OW38B said, I have friends with hondas that are all honda this, honda that. Forget that they have starting issues and hardly ever finish a harescramble, honda is the best no matter what.

Yes and no. They will fit. It just depends on how custom you want to be. You'll need new custom made spacers and bearings to fit your swingarm and axles. As it sits now, no it will not fit. If it's a super good deal, buy them and lace your old hubs to it.

My 01, 03 and 04 yz250f all had over 150 hours on the stock engine before I sold them. I think I had to adjust the valves on the 04 once. Other than that, they've all been bulletproof. Stay off the rev limiter, keep your air filter clean, and change your oil and filter often and it will last an...

He and nick wey came to our local track for a dealer day ride back in the early 00s. Nick was super cool and talked to everyone. Fonseca was a huge douche and sat in his truck the whole time until he had to ride. We let nick wash up in our trailer while frenchy got to drive home in...

The boat from china probably crashed and is headed back to get ready for next year.
