the SX 250 is looking very sexy with all the billet off the 350 bolted on  8) 8)

i am in the process of movies my girls back to Europe for my daughters schooling , so the TM's will be at the house there and the SX 250 will be my ride here in Indonesia .

the SMX is great we had some fitment issues with the scalvini pipe but my mate is sorting it , i also got the squish , head volume and ignition specs from the factory on what to run so that is being done now .
work has been so busy i have not much of a chance to ride it but we have to pay for the toys some how don't we :-}

eprovenzano yes it was the 350 that i was riding , my elbow feels strong as ever now so back on the 2 stroke but my riding fitness has turned to **** damn them 4 strokes make you into a lazy cooont

Damn that is just one sexy a-ss bike. I think I would put it in my living room and just stare at it. Wife would hate all the mud and stuff in the house though.  :D

Any chance you'd share the factory recommendations? I've set the squish at 1.1 on my 300 but would be keen on hearing head volume and ignition.

Interesting squish figures. I have experimented with the squish on mine from 0.9-1.2mm. I have to run race fuel with the lower setting. I know they changed the head between 07' and the newer bikes, I wonder if those specs would suit my engine. I will measure the head this weekend to see what the cc is.
