mike44 Added a reply to 250 SXF vs YZF vs CRF
5/17/2025 10:07am On the yamaha i am a little bit afraid of the intake noise....Furthermore some says the CRF has a heavy front feeling what do you think ? I forget to say that the KX is also an option with a better price....😅

5/17/2025 6:09am I can get a brand new 2025 YZF250F, CRF250R, or 250SXF for the same price. I will never compete; I want a bike that is easy to handle and decent power. Which one would you recommend?" I am 6.1 168 pounds going back to MX bike (very slow rider)

4/23/2025 1:16pm What year is your yzf ? I am a little bit confused about the cornering of this KX, as some say it is very Honda-like, while others say it is a little bit harder to corner than other 250F

Well, going from a 450 to a 250 the 250 will always feel slow. Also I had to learn to be more active and downshift into the corners with the 250. So I guess it is a combo of me getting used to a ride a 250 and the mods I did. The gearing change did a big difference and also got a different map and exhaust and airbox made huge improvements compared to stock. It corners better than the yzf and also got more straight line stability than the yzf. It also feels plush into braking bumps compared to...

4/22/2025 1:31pm So finally you like it ? initially it seems that you feeled the lack of power ...Does it corner well compare to YZF or CRF ?

3/9/2025 5:36am Has anyone had feedback on the effect of changing the muffler and modifying the airbox on this new KX ? The Australasian Dirt Bike shootout seems to suggest that with the muffler change and airbox modification, you end up with a completely different engine.

2/1/2025 9:54am What I have trouble understanding is why many owners of this YZF seek to increase low-end torque, extend the top-end power, and find that the engine is too rich under certain conditions and has a bog, while the US press constantly describes it as 'the best overall engine in the 250 class
mike44 Added a reply to Anyone ride/race after a reverse shoulder replacement or torn supraspinatus & LH biceps tendon rupture??
1/27/2025 12:10pm Actually, it's quite simple. Even without seeing the imaging exams, if you have active movements that seem relatively preserved with little pain, there's absolutely no indication to implant a reverse shoulder prothesis.
mike44 Added a reply to Anyone ride/race after a reverse shoulder replacement or torn supraspinatus & LH biceps tendon rupture??
1/26/2025 8:46am I'm not sure to understand... do you have a completely torn supraspinatus tendon or a completely torn rotator cuff? Because in the latter case, having a full range of motion actively is impossible. Are there other bone or cartilage pathologies in the joint in question? Does the MRI show fatty atrophy of the muscles whose tendons are torn? How old...

1/25/2025 12:22pm What do you think about this 8% gain in maximum power with the full exhaust system? It seems huge - on this bike with almost 40 horsepower, we'd be looking at a gain of over 3 horsepoweR ! https://www.yoshimura-rd.com/collections/all/products/crf250r-rx-rs-12-…

1/17/2025 9:00am Off topic, but did you compare the 25 yz250f to 25 crf250r ?
mike44 Added a reply to Honda CRF Chassis harshness
1/13/2025 9:25am It may be simplistic what I'm about to say, but isn't the fact that the Honda is very precise, turns extremely well, and is very flickable a corollary of this perceived 'rigidity,' given that other brands are more comfortable but don't have these qualities? Apart from the vibrations, what did you think of the Kawasaki's agility compared to the Yamaha?

1/8/2025 12:45pm Yeah maybe... nothing really similar to Glen Helen, the homeland of the shootout 😂
mike44 Added a reply to Lack of 2025 KX250 publicity, what gives?
1/8/2025 9:56am In Europe, at least in France and Spain, nobody says that the KX has a slow engine or revs up slowly. Everyone agrees that the engine is good with linear power. It's ranked just below the KTM group and better than Yamaha or Honda. Moreover, unlike in the USA, Yamaha hasn't won a shootout here in years! Moto Verte, for...

1/7/2025 2:01pm Honda been the quikest turning bike and "less stable" it seems fair that he did not like the chassis on a Sand track ! What does he means about "supercross" front end feeling on the yami ? He also said that KTM is by far the bike with the lighter feel....i am a little bit surprised, i was thinking it...
