Too bad at the bottom he doesn't say. Or go out and buy a 250 2 stroke and detune it to run as slow as the 250F, but 5 times as long.   :P

Ive never blown one up either and Ive had atleast a half a dozen of them for full race seasons. I agree they probably blow up more than 2 strokes but they are far from the ticking time bombs people make them out to be. They are like anything else, if you dont maintain it... itll break.

I know Eric knows his engines. Im sure he loves all those broken motors coming to his shop, 4 strokes sound like good job security for him.

I have a 4 stroke that I enjoy riding...  Its a Yamaha Vstar 1100, it doesn't handle the woops very well, but it sure is nice for cruising with the better half..   :D

A fast local kid blew up a 10' kx250f a few weeks ago. It threw the rod through the case and hit the motor mount causing the frame rails to bend. Thats probably the worst one Ive herd of.
