You are 2 interested. Guy with the CRF emailed me back after a few days and I said, "well I only have 1200 cash right now, so I don't want to waste your time." He said, "It needs tires, if you thro in another 200, I'll put tires on it, or I'll let you have it for 1200. So I went, looked at it, gave him 1200.
You can do both on the YZ250. I agree on the fly wheel weight, but are you riding in the trees? I rode mine in the dez mainly and ran a 14/46 gearing. When on the track or trees, I put the 50 back on.
Now I am a bike whore and just have bikes for everything....
I don't have a FW. I just ride.
I think you're just a whore in general especially when you wear Cowboy boots.
Those boots are just collecting dust....
Went trail-riding with the bambino today and he laid the bike over on its left side. When I turned back to see what happened the bike was still running, rear tire spinning. There is a big scratch in the engine cover where the shift arm is.
Now it wont shift into anything but 1st and 2nd gear.
Anybody have this happen to them or seen this before?

Yeah he didn't hit that hard, it was a low speed crash.
The shift lever/arm is good, doesn't hit the cover. Not sure if the scratch was there before or not, but could've been with all the shit he runs into.
I'll see if I can get the right side cover removed this weekend and get some pics of the inside. I'm hoping it's something there and not deeper, like a shift fork...

I finally got the cover off this thing and check it out-
Water pump drive gear sheared a tooth, it fell down underneath the drum stopper roller (see arrow in photo) and wouldn't allow it to fully disengage. When I pulled the lever out the gear tooth chunk was stuck underneath the roller in the corner, just enough to keep the drum from fully locking into position.
At least thats what I'm assuming is the problem, we'll see what happens when I get it back together.
Easy fix, except they want $50.00 for that #$@&^!@#$%^ thing!

WTF?!?!?!
After I got the new gear installed I went to start it up and test run it. I hopped on, gave it a kick, and 1/4 way through the kick it went CRUNCH!
So I pulled it back apart and removed the kick spindle to find that the starter ratchet had made contact with the case and now there is a hole there. How the hell does this happen? I didn't assemble it wrong I dont think, and there is no washer or anything that is missing that would keep the ratchet away from the case.
And now what about that hole?

The hole is fine, doesn't hurt anything.
I don't know how you assembled your kickstarter, but that style is typically like below.
You have to deal with my mouth breathing...

-BIG DAN
I’m so hot right now.
Did I mention that it goes into the trans/crank case and not to the outside?
