I'm a novice speed rider coming from a 250 2 stroke I've been on for the last 3 years. I've decided to stop racing woods and just ride mx for fun, so I'm going to try a 4 stroke. I haven't had a thumper since my 2007 crf which was junk...
I'm not really interested in the suzuki because of power, and the Honda because the new motor hasn't been out long enough to see if it's reliable.
I'm looking at the Yamaha, husky, and the kawasaki. Just want somthing that is reliable and easy to ride, i am VERY meticulous about maintenance. Thanks for any help

Best suspension, Excellent motor, Great reliability.
Try this, $150 top end rebuilds, 4O hours on my first Piston.
Eddie Sanders Racing (ESR) (Pismo Beach, Ca.) makes a $900 YZ 325 with a Cylinder, Power Valve, Weisco Piston, Machined Head & Gaskets to fit.
Rejetting your Keihin Carb (170 to162 Main & 48 to 42 Pilot makes your YZ 250 (now YZ 325) the Best Value Bike on the Market!! Torque down low and a nice after burner hit in the last 2K RPM!

Without thinking money I'd pick the Yamaha.
I'm really happy with my 16 crf250r for play riding. If you could snag a leftover 17 CRF I wouldn't hesitate for your situation it makes a great bike.
I've ridden trails, mx, and some endurox with it so far and it has performed great in all situations. My one suggestions is A heavier flyweight would help greatly for tight trail riding because it likes to stall in the tight chicanes if you aren't precise with the clutch. so if that is what you plan on doing, electric start would probably be a better option Honestly the biggest difference in "feel" is that the center of mass is a tad higher on my yamaha but MUCH more centralized.
If the tracks you ride are well prepped and tacky I think you'd be happy with a 9oz. One track I ride at is real hard packed and rarely prepped and for that track I wish I'd gone with a heavier weight but for everything else it's perfect. That way you keep the simple to own two stroke and have a power advantage over the f's while having a more rideable bike
Have you ridden you bike on a track?
