smoke with my wallet

I'm Robert Pennsylvania and I approve of this post.

Awesome.!

It is the best 250 ever available to the masses

Wow that’s a great looking bike. Did they have good deal at Hutch? Any reason you didn’t go up to NH for the bike? Congrats on the new ride

Very nice! I approve from Colorado.

ive raced with Hutch for about 30 years, you do bisiness with your friends

Must be a 19 because of the blue frame right? Been thinking about upgrading to a 19' TX300 in the near future.

Good to hear you're enjoying it!

That bike is beautiful. Love to have one, but I dont even ride the bike I have.

B-b-b-but, wood screws. What about the wood screws Pete? I'mma gonna let you finish, Pete but I'mma gonna give you shit from here on out about those wood screws.

How long did it take you to figure out those torx head bolts were 8mm hex's on the outer edge?

Damn, this is gonna be fun.

Hey Pete, do I need to get Hubbard in on this thread?

nice man! check the reeds and there is this thread if you need help.

enjoy the brembos and hydro clutch.

Bone stock?
Jetting seems fine?
Was gonna go to crow hill today, glad I didn’t looks muddy....

How do you find the suspension compared to the yz? Demo days are few and far between around me and that's the only thing holding me back from picking one up

Congrat's Pete. She's definitely an awesome bike. Hope you have a fun of ton on her.

What!!!!?????
Nice!

Excellent choice! Congrats man!

One of these will be my next bike, upgrading from an 05 RM250 that I love dearly but the call of something that bit more modern is hard to resist.

Hubbard's coming by this weekend and he will probably laugh till Tuesday

Nice scoot.



Looks like Crow was a mud bog yesterday. Hope it's better tomorrow.

Nice! These bikes are great... I have 30 hrs on my 18 250 SX....takes a while to get back into the 2 stroke groove, but it makes you feel alive! Not sure what the jetting is on your bike, but I"m at 37.5 pilot & 450-460 main depending on ambient temps & how deep the sand is...50/50 c12 & non ethanol. I have an FmF factory pipe with powercore silencer, 49 tooth on the rear as per MXA helps space out the shifting, but sometimes I feel in deep sand the stock gearing is better for 3rd gear. I"m sure you know, check spokes & rear axle nut frequently, I double nut the lower exhaust mount, as it comes loose even with loctite. Was thinking about replacing my top end but I took a look through the exhaust & the piston looks like new....enjoy!

Ive gotta get to a demo day, I can't wrap my noggin around how an engine can be better than a YZ250 (except maybe the counterbalance?)

Had my top end done @ 50 hours, ring gap (?) was at lower end of spec's, mechanic said it was indeed time for a top end.

Awesome bike! Congrats.

Nice. Check the reeds.

Many have gaps in their reeds and replaced with aftermarket only to feel little to no change. I fell for it too. If you must change, then go Rad Valve.

I wouldnt have known about it if i hadn't bought the rad valve. I can't imagine it was helping anything though.

You are probably right and definitely wasn't picking on you, more of a general observation from other people as well as myself. Good choice on the RC2 though.

I know you weren't its all good. Did you have to change the jetting at all with yours? I Havn't put it on yet. Iam running the jd jet kit with a bills pipe and silencer.

Great bike- Congrats

Mine's a 17', and have about 80 hrs.. Top Ends every 35-40, you should be good. I've got some porting done, stk reed cage, and FMF Fatty + 304 silencer.. Running C12+93 pump w/ 927, and freakin' runs awesome..leaned out a bit, but stk carb.

Very, very fun machine!!
