    I think he is referring to big bore kits not being allowed to run in the 250 or lites class. They are legal however in the Vet and older classes where its run what ya brung.

    ride harescrambles in tight eastern woods, small bike is alot better in that situation. Had a crf 450r and prefer the 250r.

    Yamaha, great question. I have my new Atena kit, but I have yet to install it. My bud, Al at Reactive suspension, told me it will give me low end and mid, but I may loose a hair off of the top. I ride with all big bikes, on small tracks, so I need the speed out of the corners.....I think!?!?! Anyone else have one on their 250

    great low end and mid power it's super fun and fast. I need to gear it a little taller. Go from a 13/51 to a 13/49. now i need to fix the bog.

    If your feeling the bog after dropping to the 49 try adjusting the fuel screw, it solved my issue without tearing down the carb.
