General Two Stroke Talk / How much power does carbon rob?

« on: May 13, 2012, 08:16:44 PM »

better to ask yourself not how much power the spooge robs, but rather, how much power the poor jetting that caused the spooge robs.

General Two Stroke Talk / 2002 Rm 250 cylinder issue

« on: May 08, 2012, 10:59:02 PM »

i hate to do this, but don't send it to Gorr if you want to see it back in reasonable time.  He took 3.5 months on Chuck's and he doesn't even know where mine is after a month.  "millenium must still have it."

from a 93 KX250 to an 87 monte carlo?  You went from Chicken Metasevich to Dale Earnhardt.

General Two Stroke Talk / 2002 Rm 250 cylinder issue

are they sleeved?  I think these are just aluminum with a nikasil coating.

1. find out all the compatible cylinder years for your bike

2. Google all the nikasil platers in the country, and check and see if they have any work that someone didnt pick up. 

You could potentially get a fresh jug for the price of the nikasil work if your timing is right. If I had a big 4 Japanese 250, this is what i'd have done, but I have a KTM.

Okay then, just talked to Charles and he said the only problem was the 2011 front wheel wouldn't bolt up with the 05 forks/triples.

i think the parts differences in the YZ250s are largely dependent on the 250Fs.  I think they wan to machine one part, rather than two different parts, wherever they can.  so, somewhere between 05 and 11, the 250F probably got a new front wheel or hub spacers.  something.

5 lap dash, last place pays the bill at the Cracker Barrel at the Lakeland exit off I-4.

lol 5 is about all I'm good for . If you change cracker barrel to olive garden in ocala i'm down .  I'm planning a trip to go to High point in Ga  with a couple of bud's that want to buy some orange bikes within the next month or so . When are you coming to FL?

june 4-8 to orlando, but im flying, so I wont have my bike.  i will get down there with my bike this year though, for sure.

hey, memorial day weekend, there is a big event at south of the border MX, which is jimmy weinerts new facility.  i am going, and im trying to talk Charles into it.  Why don't you come up for that?  i made that drive 2 months ago, its not that bad from Tampa, and youre in Brookesville, so thats almost an hour closer.

saturday practice, bonfire at night, sunday racing. jimmy weinert.

Ha, he's pointing out that the bike is already outdated.. The only difference with 2002 model and 2012 is the aluminum frame and better suspension. If I buy an 2012 yz250 frame, everything off my 03 yz250 will literally bolt on, even the sub frame despite different part numbers.



 

Ask Charles how bolting parts from an 05 to an 11 worked for them at midnight in the pits at VMP.

Boils down to personal opinion then really.  No doubt you can huck the water tower, at least on the left side on an 89, but isn't it more fun on an 09?  To me it is.  To each his own, I like the ergonomics and stiffer frames, lighter weight of the newer bikes.  the build quality and finish has only improved with time.  Remember the bars these bikes  came with?  Remember the oem plastics and graphics?  I remember nightmares of brand new early 90s bikes looking completely hammered after 2 rides.  These days, you just put numbers on them.  You have pro tapers and all the goodies, especially the KTMs.

there is a gray area in the late 80s early 90s where it isn't old enough for vintage class racing, but it isn't new enough to be worth a shit.  i think super vintage is conventional forks and drum rears.  

Just because a bike isnt up to date dosent mean it isnt worth a shit . My 88 kx250 was one of the most reliable bikes I ever rode and had no problem running with 00+ machines in the woods or at hard rock . Its all in rider ability as to what you can do with an older bike .  They may be a little harder to ride consistantly than modern bikes but if you want the easy way out buy a 4stroke  
 

Keeping the older bikes alive  seems pretty important to me as far as keeping 2 strokes alive in general .

This bike cost me almost nothing other than fresh tires and air filter,a few adjustments and she was a beast . I had a guy out at tanglewood try to take off and leave me down a 2 mile long whoop trail  on a yzf426 and I stayed right next to him the entire way . This bike cleared the water tower jump at hardrock more than a couple times also . I still miss it wish I would kept it as a 2nd bike

and like i said, if you are going to trail ride it, then it's a good bike.
