Technical / Yz250 2011 problems

« on: January 11, 2012, 04:19:05 AM »

Mine detonates on pump gas.  With RAD Valve (spacer removed) and DEP pipe/silencer.  Race gas makes it very happy!

The problem is the Works Connection perch.  Their "pull ratio" is off from stock, and not in a good way.

Cycra is now making the new style fender for the 2Ts (and older 4Ts).  It comes in Blue, White and Black.

I've wondered why noone has raced an AF in that class?

If the 2Ts were allowed to run the leaded fuel they used to be able to run, then it would be interesting.  I'd love to see it happen, or even better, sneak a 300cc smoker in there.  That would even the playing field a little.

Do you really think he'd  give props to a machine his sponsor doesn't even make.  He did his job.  That's what they pay him for.

I don't think he's a tool because of what he said. I think he's a tool because...well he acts like a tool  . I have never been a fan of his.

I've thought that in the past, but this year he has mellowed out a bit.  I guess that's what happens when you've burned so many bridges you gotta fund your own effort.  Now, I actually like the guy.  Hope he doesn't revert back to the old excuse maker he used to be.

It was great meeting you last night in the pizza line miedoso.  For the life of me, I can't remember your name though.  Lets plan on hooking up to ride soon!

I use a shorty in all conditions.  I just like how the bike barks off the bottom better with it.  It definitely does not pull as long on top though.  That is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

Awesome video!  At one of my local tracks this weekend (I-35MX), there seemed to be just as many smokers out there as 4-strokes.  And the guys on the 2-strokes were bringing it!

The 1st gen Honda aluminum frame was crap.  Ask McGrath.  He chose to go ride that PoS RM in '97 instead of staying with Honda.  They got a lot better though through the years.  Give me a good, light ChroMo frame any day over aluminum though.

What I would LOVE to do someday, is build a custom frame, based on my YZ's dimensions, out of ChroMo and with a Full-Floater rear end.  Now THAT would be sweet!

EDIT: On second thought, I'd need to do this with an RM.  Anyone have an '06-'08 RM 250 they want to donate to get this project started?

I couldn't find any info in a search other than the VDLaar kit.

ProTaper non-oring chain.  Hands down, the best chain I've used in all my days, and I'm damn old!

Bearorso, how about doing a 1.7 gallon aluminum tank for the aluminum framed YZs that accepts the shrouds from the '08-'09, or even the '10+ YZFs?

Pretty sure that's Phil Nicoletti.  Looking good!
