Hi Guys,
New to 2 strokes so I thought I'd join for a bit of guidance!
Just bought a YZ 250 '04 plate. Loved my mates CR 250 '07 so the 2 Stroke bug clawed back childhood memories(twos up hitting powerband through fields on older teens bikes wearing t-shirts but no helmet). Owned a CRF 450 R for 18 months before my YZ but I don't miss it!
Just checked over my latest shipment to the Falkland Islands and it's not a bad bike but requires abit of attension!
Starts and runs OK, quite surprised at the gearing being 14/46( a little tall). It's got a lot more go than my CRF!
My concerns are low water in rads, trans oil milky grey, and the shraider valve has snapped off my shock! I guess my water pump seal has failed? Can I get the valve? looks like they are replaceable. Does it get filled with air or nitrogen?
I wonder if my suspension is standard too? There are stickers with Pro Action 3 stage incremental! Does this mean they have been re-valved?
Great stuff on here
Ben.
