General Two Stroke Talk / my new 2013 yz 250

« on: January 11, 2013, 07:31:32 PM »

HOWDY
Fine looking ride 
I also just bought a new YZ250.
I need intel as to the spring rates for these machines.
I raced a YZ125 last year and had Enzo suspension on it.
I weight 220 lb with my gear and would like to know if the YZ 250 is rated higher than the 125?
Iam also thinking the bigger motor will handle a EXP 2 Rekluse clutch.
Has anyone done this upgrade?
I race with the Old Timers and it seems every other rider is on a 450.
Iam hoping I can keep up a little better with the 250.
THANKS

General Two Stroke Talk / RM 250 LINK

HOWDY
Thanks for all the great replies.
Iam 68 years old and the top of the bike is a little hard for me to get my leg over.
I got stuck in a rut at Washougal last year, put my foot down in another rut and just sort of tipped over.
Trying to remount was a bit difficult so I need to do something.
Another question?
When I lower the sub frame the muffler has to follow along.
Are there any ideas to make the move a trouble free as possible?
The machine Iam rebuilding is a 2000 RM250.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
I'll order a set of these links in the new year.
I also will be taking about 1/2 inch out of the sub frame to help lower the seat height.
Any other tips on how to make a 2000 RM250 more user friendly are welcome.
Thanks again.

HOWDY Happy New Year.
Iam new here and would like some information.
I race with the Old Timers M/X and would like to put a bigger machine on the line.
I rode a YZ 125 last year and bought a used RM 250 for 2013.
My leg won't reach over the seat like it used to, so a lowering link is in order.
I have looked for one but not sure which one to use.
Does any of you/all use a link on your machine and which one is best to lower the seat height.
THANKS
