New Rider Here!!!
« on: July 29, 2010, 08:44:41 AM »
Hi Guys! Well I have been searching for a bike for the past couple months on craigslist and I finally found one!!! Let me just show you the bike before any further detail...








The Bike is a 2004 Yamaha YZ250. My mom Paid for it "It's a graduation present." We got the Bike for $1500 and it came with a tire stand "I've ordered an actual stand." some bel-ray oils. 2 new NGK spark plugs. A helmet and goggles "Even though my head is too big for it lol." He even threw in a ramp!

Mechanically the bike is Mint! Just fully rebuilt. It has TONS of compression. ripped a hole in my nike's kickin the sob over for a test ride. It has Renthal Handle Bars, Renthal Chain and Sprockets, FMF Gold Series Narly pipe "its been jetted", MSR clutch, He had the bike Rebuilt by Professionals. Fully rebuilt with a Wiseco top end. The tires are almost new. Oh and I can't forget EXCEL WHEELS ;D

And as you can Imagine the bike HAULS! :o Lets just say im glad i didnt eat anything before i test rode it in the field he had next to his house.  ;D


The only the thing the bike could use is New black grips. and number plate shrouds then its PERFECT!! oh and some fresh gas. its been sitting. Tell me what ya think!!!

Tips for your first time;

1- Wear protection. You just never know.

2 - Use lubrication - Oil works best mixed with fuel....

3 - Take it slow and easy - When you're not used to it you could get thrown off and get hurt. Meaning no back flips or 120 foot triples!!

4 - Smile! - It's fun, enjoy yourself.
Life is short.

Smile while you still have teeth!
