Edited Date/Time:
Just picked up a 2017 TC250 today! Haven't ridden or had a bike since I sold my 04' YZ250F in 2005...the bike that made me quit MX after 10 years. Anywho...Im 185lbs and I'll be riding at novice level for quite some time. Probably more trial riding for now until I get used to the bike and get my moto legs back. I took MXA's advice and bought a 49 tooth rear sprocket to tame it and stretch the gears out. I'm going to spend time getting it dialed but I'm looking for any lessons learned on the bike, must have parts or setup secrets.
One more thing....is there an alternative plastics kit that looks more like a 2016 TC250 in terms of shape? The funky ass plastics are my only gripe about that bike.
