EX250/250R Racing Everything you need to know

Lighter is better, but too much grip makes that noodle chassis unhappy. Those things need a good front tire, and a rear that won't push out mid corner.

 

Maybe that's why it works on his....they are always take offs from no telling how many laps!

 

I have a front rotor I'll sell you. PM if interested.

 

Hey man, we going to see you any this year? At least come hang out.

 

Even Ed being a smaller rider.... that was impressive on that stock bike! Even Wayne, Ron, and I ranging from 30-40lbs heavier than Ed ran some 31's which isn't shabby on that worn out bike.

I remember a while back when Ron had told me of the guys in the Northwest ran a 125 rear, and thought they were nuts! It works, and is a no brainer too me with the lighter weight and the plenty of grip from the D'lop take-off's, not too mention they last damn near forever it seems.

 

I sure hope so; I miss you guys and the racing. Lacrosse starts tomorrow and goes until May, so probably not before then. Hope to make Cycle Jam or Barber in July, maybe camp out with kid #1 (she'll be 3.5).

I will not be racing, however. I'd like to say it's because of the blood thinners, but I just don't think I'll be racing for another few years, not until the girls are older/I stop coaching.

 

No worries, just bring yourself and the little one out and see everyone. :up:

 

Is ebay my best bet for a stock air box?

 

try suncoastcyclesports.com. I found a replacement airbox for our B bike there for about $20.

 

I've had good luck with Greens, no relation, he even delivers to a local shop here in Nashville.

 

thanks!

 

Thanks for all the help guy's!! it's getting closer

 

Good stuff.


I'm talking to a local guy about buying his crashed street 250. Ya might see me out on one...

 

Bout time you come back home and race with the fun crowd! I have been thinking one of those new 300s would be cool, but alas, no funds!

 

It's all fun. Even blowing a lot of cash to run mid pack AMA was fun. SV's and 250's are just more fun for the buck lol

 

I tell people that all the time...

I do have a airbox question. If it has been cut, but you epoxy the holes, can you still use it to race?

 

Not now, cheater!

 

I should have an airbox. PM if you still need one.

I grabbed on off of ebay. But it lokks like the JGP tire pimp may need one.

 

Lol.......
