Re: The New 250
Awesome dude. She is a beaut. Your previous bike was a 4 stroke right? What made you go 2 stroke?
Do you normally keep her in the house? I tried that and got "the look" so didn't pursue it.

He's mastered 4strokes, clearly. His skill level is too high and they have nothing more to offer him. Now he can return to feathering clutches and mixin 2stroke like a true god.

Beautiful machine, you'll just have to get Mr Braham to teach you a few tricks to amuse your fellow riders

As she is all run in now, I will be swapping green for red spring to see the difference in power. I think the green spring is perfect for the conditions we rode in on Sunday. Very chuggable and not to scary when it came on pipe. The low down torque is fantastic, surprisingly it feels like my 4T but with snap and it feels light and agile like riding a big MTB! I have a feeling the red is gonna be angry, but just have to satisfy my curiosity to see what all the hype is about.
Also need to sort out a stutter just before she comes on pipe, may fix this first just in case she bites me....
Don't think it's needed but will also be dropping gearbox oil to inspect magnetic drain plug and replenish with fresh new 10W/40.

Re: The New 250
It's should have more torque and way more BHP than your old 250 thumper. Cheers bud. Hopefully I get my bike back, or a bike soon so I can come see it and also go to Wales!
Also yeah if that's the same oil it's got in it from the factory get rid of it ASAP and chuck in something premium.
