1/26/2012 11:47pm good morning troops,
had a long conversation with you guys some months ago trying to figure out what bike to buy to get back into this game. you were all a great help and after long discussion and screwing around found a crf 230 that is absolutely brilliant... more than enough capability to remember how to do this yet bullet...

stevesxm Started a new thread 230 vs 250 motor architecture
1/26/2012 9:05pm asking for info from people that have hands on experience with these two motors.... do you know what the relative interchange of structural components is/are on these two motors ? i.e do they share the same crank and rods but use different cylinder and head ? are the cases the same but w/ different internals ? are they simply two...

1/20/2012 1:02am two reasons... the ktm is a 450 and almost $ 8000 and the conversion i'm talking about has been done already. its simple and easy. having said that, i totally agree with the notion of buying factory first if possible.

1/19/2012 1:03pm really ?
everything i have read says the X is considerably heavier... 50 lbs or so and the suspension isn't anything like the R... not saying youre wrong... just trying to establish whats correct.
apparently the motors blow up with some regularity on the R's there are rollers all over the place... 06's and 7 for 1000$ or so and...

1/19/2012 8:05am well...
i wouldn't go that far. the 230 does the job at the moment but as i everyone has said and i have not disagreed with, the proper chassis will be the ultimate answer. having done a fair bit of research now i sort of have a plan to get the best chassis and the precise motor i want and...

1/3/2012 6:48am no... not a kook. asked a simple direct question and got a simple direct answer early on which, i am happy to say when this fox product arrived , solved the problem completely. i never started this deal about the bike being inadequate... i know it is not a true mx bike... i know that if i ever get serious...

12/27/2011 12:02pm you keep talking about 450's.... no one has said anything at all about 450's. there are some of those here and they are very very fast. what i see most often are 125 i'll repeat that so you don't miss it.... one hundred and twenty five cubic centimeter two strokes that this 230 can run with all day.... and 250...

12/27/2011 11:20am on pure performance, the 230 and the 125 2 strokes are essentially the same so i can beat like skilled guys on the 125's and not well skilled guys on the 4 stroke 250's. the 4 stroke bikes are very very fast. but having said that, they seem finiky as hell. and the maintainance they need is quite high. there...

12/27/2011 9:55am well... you are entitled to that keen insight, but this bike beats the sht out of all the 125 2 stroke guys pretty routinely, jumps doubles just fine and when the 2 stroke and high strung 4 stroke guys are 8 heartbeats from a death after kicking theirs in the heat trying to get them to run, i push a...

12/27/2011 6:59am i don't know why it never occured to me in the beginning... but based on the answer from the first guy, this is what i bought and while i don't have them yet, i suspect they will be exactly what i need

12/26/2011 7:30am thats not the issue at all. the issue is my standard underware not being able to deal with the g forces. the bike and my conditioning are just fine.

10/4/2011 3:47am wow. all your years on the tour give you that insight ? if you took the time to read this thread you will have noticed that this isn't my first bike nor am i inexperienced. just out of practice with no time on newer more powerful equipment. and my question was technical. i'm not looking for riding advice, thanks.
