Nice looking bike you have there. Not sure why you are shifting so much but you will figure it out.

Is that 250f setup for supermoto or track? Did you like it?

Jackson, ms. They have an amateur series.

I think most of the AX events also have amateurs racing.

So are you racing your new 250f there?

That's the plan! Im pretty used to it now. It's a fast little bike. It'll be my first time on a track. Should be fun!

Oh dang, and an AX track at that. :shocked:

Got a helmet cam so that we also have something to enjoy? :smirk:

If you keep the "just having fun" mentality you'll be fine, just don't ride over your head.

Yeah I didn't want to go out to an ax track for my first race but then i don't want wait until march to ride a mx track either. I'll be in the beginner class so I'm pretty sure I'll do ok. I don't have a helmet cam and I'm glad I don't :smirk:

make sure you add oil before you start it, and don't reuse a cracked cam cap

Someone had to say it.

Remember, at the starting gate you put it in first, rev super high and when the gate drops pop the clutch and pull up.

I say put it second gear at the gate

from my understanding 85 cc up you take off in second, your boot in front of the gear shfter and after take off use your heal on the way up to the pegs to shift to third. But I am not racer :noidea:

someone with race experiance should be handing this advice out not me :smirk:
