Hello from Kentucky
« on: December 26, 2010, 09:48:19 PM »
Hello Everybody. My name is Bryan and Im a die hard 2 stroke fan from Ky. I got my first big bike (94 kx125) at 16 and started racing a year later. I raced a 250 2 stroke off and on for 10 years untill going to the dark side in 2007. I love the traction of a 450 but still missed the feel of blasting around the track on a 2 stroke. I broke my leg about a year ago and sold everything except a 2000 yz125 that I bought for $300. Its rough and definetly going to get a total rebuild which is the reason for joining the forum.

Heres a pic of my 250 before I had to trade her in  :(


I ran the stock pipe with a pro circuit shorty and vforce because I felt it was the best combo. I replaced that stock pipe several times when it would get smashed. I never liked any of the other (pc,fmf) powerbands as much.

Here's a pic of Ryan Sipes goon riding with his brother Justin at one of our local tracks about a month ago. Ryan still loves riding 2 strokes.



Anyways hello everybody

Cool. That '00 YZ is as fast as anything today. The plastic has only changed slightly, and I prefer a steel frame to the aluminum anyway. Welcome.

Thanks man. I gotta admit though I love a nice KX, especially the 94-98's.

Thanks man. I agree the steel frame YZ's didnt push the front end like the aluminum ones do.

I definitely agree on the KXs from 94-98. I've had two 95 KX125s and wish I still had one. Sweet bike once the forks were stiffened up a bit, or the rear shock redone (to not overload the front).

I had a 94 kx125, a 94 kx250, and a 96 kx125. Not all at once but in that order. I loved those kx's, Ive been looking for one to restore.

I agree on the forks, all mine also had crappy pegs.
