The final product nice and clean.  Pretty happy with how it all came out.  Now all I need to do is re-adjust to it.  Felt really strange on the bike last weekend.

And a short youtube video of my first real full ride on it.  It was done with my wife's iPhone and unfortunately she didn't turn the phone sideways.  So really only the first 40 seconds is worth watching, the rest I'm tiny because the phone can't zoom while filming.  The best I could get her to do on short notice.

How does the throtle position sensor effect the new carb? Or the lack of one on the new carb.

   Dont be to hard on the guy . Most people need the lazy fooper power in order to go fast . Why learn how to ride better when you dont need to right ? :<img src=" title="Roll Eyes" class="smiley"> :<img src=" title="Roll Eyes" class="smiley">

There's nothing wrong with the hit or how calm the power is, it rides just fine.  What can I say, I tried to re-live my youth with the bike and it just doesn't really work out in reality.  I spent the last week riding my buddies brand new '12 KTM 250SX because he wants to sell it and I didn't really enjoy that either.  Compared to a 450 at speed the bike is nervous and not very planted.  The power, shifting, clutching, none of that is a big deal.  It pulls fine and turns great, but so does my 450.  So I think I'm pretty honest when I say I'm significantly faster on a 450, so much so that struggling with the feel of the 250 just isn't any fun.  You can say I'm spoiled or whatever, that's fine.  But I'm a competitive guy at heart. So while I'm still a 2-stroke fan I'm also looking to be competitive because I race against some very fast dudes.  I'm not just out there "for the fun of it", because that's what guys who can't win or don't race say. 

Anyway, the bike is pretty much sold to a kid who will put it to far better use than I.  I'm sure it will show up at Loretta's next year in the 250A near the front of the pack.  Also I'm not taking any kind of a loss on it, the parts were all bought at or near cost except for the carb.

i was just giving you a hard time lol
i understand that especially 450'suit people's style better, and you're completely right, they require 2 different riding styles and a 450 definitely feels more planted than a 250 2 stroke and it doesn't skate around as much. Jumping from a 4 to a 2 is a huge difference, so much so people (like yourself) don't feel comfortable riding them. But don't go saying that you can't be competitive on a 250, because you can, if a guy on a 250f can have a faster lap times in nationals than the fastest man on the planet, a 250 2 stroke can be more than competitive. All i can say is that the flywheel we put on our yz250 it calmed the bike down, made it not as twitchy (although it still is compared to 4 strokes) and i think it's easier and more fun to ride.

$100 on graphics... Or $100 on new top end... Hmmm...

Are you serious? Do you realize how many people you just disrespected?
