[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 229382, member: 3959"] Back-burnered the 125. Probably looking at around $400.00 for the suspension repair. The KX250F right side engine gasket is definitely the oil leak, (clutch issue was just adjustment), so it's semi-back-burnered. So I took the 06 YZ250 to the track this past weekend. Just gotta say, it's the best MX bike I've ever had. I forgot how much fun it is. (I dont think I've ridden it in a year or better) This bike does everything [I]perfectly[/I] (for me). It's fast, handles like I like, doesn't leak...and it just runs like it should. I'm glad I spent a month on the kids 125 prior though, after not riding for 5-6 months. 2020 was the longest/hottest summer ever on record here in AZ. 50 days over 110, previous record was like 31, back in 2011. It was brutal. The YZ250 didn't seem as fast as I previous thought, (maybe that means I'm getting faster/better?) but still hauls the mail, and keeps me on my toes. It's nice to get back in the groove again. It's also nice to have 3 bikes to choose from in case one breaks. It was mentioned earlier about how switching bikes so often might make it hard to get good on any one of them, but I think it's better than having a broken bike and not being able to ride at all. Throw in the 6000 miles on the Softail this season and I think seat-time is a good thing. Looking forward to this weekend. [/QUOTE]
