Yeah it is absolutely mental :driver: It is a massive difference riding this than the 4-stroke's I used to race. Im gonna have to alter my riding style completely but first of all im thinking im gonna have to go down a tooth or two on the rear sproket :rolleye: until i get used to it.
I only bought it as a bit of fun but now im tempted to start racing again :chicken:

2 Strokes = Win!!
I had a KXF250 which I just sold this year and I must admit, the 2strokes are much more fun to ride, a lot more lively!
What age is it Ben, any mods?!

Its a 2006 I originally bought it new then raced it for half a season then i sold it to a freind as i decided to go for a 2007 kxf250 as i was a bit lazy. Then last week he told me he was selling it at a price i couldnt refuse.
The only mods that are on it which i had done originally are a blueprinted engine, V-Force 3 reed block, Properly Jetted carb, Re-valved and set up suspension to my weight, style etc. I have just ordered a Pro-Circuit pipe and silencer for it and ive got my old wheels in the garage which im hoping will fit. It was just meant to be a bike to just mess around on when my mates go up the practice tracks but im already seriously tempted to start racing again :evilgrin:

What's the obvious difference?

Mate are you serious???? lol there isnt anything better than the sound and smell of a 2-stroke getting ragged around a track lol!!!
1min 33 sec :party:
Umm there is quite a distinct difference in the riding styles of both bikes but the easiest way to describe it is a 4-stroke is like a diesel car and a 2-stroke is like a turbocharged petrol car. With a 4 you can just use the low down torque to pull you around but with the 2 stroke youve got to keep it in the sweet spot (power band) which is more or less flat out i.e the same as keeping the turbo boosting in the car.

Bought a Hard Anodised 16"x10" oven roasting tray. Cost 24 squid but definitely worth it as it's truly non-stick and heats very evenly without warping etc. I've learnt never to buy cheap for cooking gear - The good pro stuff lasts a whole lot longer and delivers better eating results! :party:

I agree - with cooking stuff you get what you pay for!

Not so much of a purchase but more of an expenditure;
have had these sitting in my garage for about 3/4 years:
and finally got around to getting them refurbished.
also had to buy these to get them to fit.
