General Two Stroke Talk / After market parts for TM

« on: May 26, 2011, 08:32:08 AM »

Sorry if this is folly to ask, but I was trying to find aftermarket parts (like pipes, pipe protectors, levers and the like) for Tm motorcycles, cause I'm evaluating buying a 300 mx. The fact is tha I even found aftermarket (FMF) pipes for Gas Gas, but not for TM.

Anyone have some info on this?

General Two Stroke Talk / Results of the yamaha YZ poll of MXA

« on: April 22, 2010, 08:05:56 AM »

Some days ago (maybe a few weeks) there was an article about the YZ250 two stroke in MXA web site and at the bottom was a poll to choose among other things who was the best yamaha rider of all time and to see if yamaha should keep the fight and keep the YZ250 alive.
Well results have arrived, read them at http://motocrossactionmag.com/Main/News/MXA-MIDWEEK-REPORT-6842.aspx. It's amazing to see how much love is there for the YZ250. If Yamaha keep making them maybe I'll buy one soon.

General Two Stroke Talk / MZA Test ride 250SX

« on: December 24, 2009, 04:42:02 PM »

I've just read the test ride report of the KTM 250SX from Motocross Action mag.
This guys are still testing and spreading the word of how good two strokes are.
I now just want to buy this bike, the February issue came to let to write Santa for one of this bikes so I'll have to save every buck to buy one, and I will.
I can't paste the whole article here, but some interesting quotes are:

About the engine "This is a rocket ship! This is the most powerful 250cc motocross bike sold. On the dyno, the 2010 250SX made 49.05 horsepower at 8600 rpm and 30.95 foot pounds of torque at 8100 rpm.
    For comparison purposes, here is how the 2010 KTM 250SX compares to the Honda CRF250, Honda CRF450 and Yamaha YZ250 two-stroke.
    CRF250: The KTM 250SX makes 12.7 horsepower and 11 foot-pounds of torque more than the 2010 CRF250.
    CRF450: The KTM 250SX makes 1.8 horsepower and 1.75 foot-pounds of torque less than the 2010 CRF450.
    YZ250: The KTM 250SX makes 3.5 horsepower and two foot-pounds of torque more than the 2010 YZ250.
    By two-stroke standards, the 250SX has a very smooth, broad and usable powerband."

Final word "The box-stock 2010 KTM 250SX is a fast, lightweight and agile bike. It is surprisingly competitive against 450s and an unfair advantage over 250Fs. It is inexpensive to maintain and simple to work on. If the KTM 250SX doesen't make you rethink the four-stroke revolution, nothing will."
