snowflake:
:hyper: I rode it. I haven't rode since my last race, been fighting a nasty mouth infection.
I felt really good, Honestly, this 01 stockish WR250F is pretty freaking awesome to me again, Its got more power than the Hondud, it even corners better and with the suspension freshened up I even like that better too, for the most part, its much more plush but when you hit something hard it can get a little gnarly at times. I spent all that money trying to make the Honda a good desert bike and appear to have failed horribly.

and then I got a pinch flat, I was riding through a rocky section, hit one rather hard, came into the next corner and felt it try to come off the bead lol

03 with i believe the 04 or newer showa forks

I'll have to look at mine when I get home but only the 01-03 RM's have the front brake routed around the bottom of the fork. All are KYB forks. In 04 they did change over to Showa but I don't know if the Showa has the mounting holes for the brake routing. It may not matter how the forks are but I would think they mount to the bottom of the forks.

should be marked. On the back of the fork tubes up by the top of the tree I believe. I'll look at mine when I get home and let you know.

TE 450:
Removed both radiators, (tanks are leaking) see if George can weld them up. If not, New Mylers from RMATV/MC with my rewards points instead of SIDI boots....:cry:
Fixed broken speedo pickup wires.
New pillow top grips.
Reinstalled the Pivot Pegs that I had on before the rebuild. Jr. Jr. bent the stock ones.
Jr. Jr.'s YZ250
New rear tube, flipped tire for a couple more rides.
CRF230:
Battery tender installed.
Timo picks it up tomorrow for his daughter and trip to the dez.
RS520 tomorrow:
Pull carb, clean, reinstall and see if it fixes the low speed stutter. I think the jets have ethanol build up.

Got a shot of Sea Foam/Mystery oil in the tanks, shaken, and ran for a few minutes, then ran carbs empty.

Waiting for the head to come back from Alabama, new nikasil.
Jr. 02 YZ250:
