But I am in Florida. I just wanted to share since I have been coming to this forum for years now and wasn't going to change once I moved.
I picked up an 2003 YZ250 which some might say is to big of a bike for a newer dirt rider but I already took it to a track and yes it is a powerful beast I didn't do to bad. On my last lap I decided to try a step up double but i hesitated and didnt have the traction i needed due to it raining so the rear hit the lip of the landing and pretty much bounced around and fell on my face and broke my already cracked throttle tube.
I bought the bike for $1300 and he gave me a work stand, loading ramp, 5 gallon gas tank, two pairs of riding pants, a jersey, pair of pretty used fly boots and some renthal stickers haha. It needed new bars, grips and levers because someone test drove it and crashed it. I went to a local cycle gear store and bought what it needed and fixed it the day before I went to the track.
After the track it needed a new throttle tube, air filter and front wheel bearings. I put the wheel bearings in today, doing the air filter, oil change, wash and possibly taking plastics off to get a better look at the bike. It will need a new chain and possibly sprockets soon and then looking into getting a trailer and hitch for my Acura CL.
I really think this was a good purchase compared to the crappy CRF450 i had bought 3 years ago. I am just wondering if you fine people can point me in the direction of a good dirt forum. I know of thumpertalk and haven't been there in forever but would also like to know of another one or two. Thanks everyone!
