well I'm not comparing it to anything because it is the first dirt bike that I have drove that was a larger 2 stroke (all I have ridden for a larger dirt bike is a xr 200) but I noticed that is had real bad head shake and told the guys I was ridin with and they all agreed one of my friends said that it might be because the front tire is over inflated? would that have anything to do with headshake during acceleration.
I loved the powerband of that machine and I'm thinkin of buying one does anyone know if there are many differances in power/other stuff between 1999-2000? the link of the one that I'm gonna go look at is http://www.canadatrader.com/trader/result/affich.asp?sid=24SLGIE8742261&rubno=4400&pa=3&pr=1

Ever thought of mabye gettin a bigger four stroke, something that could keep up with the two stroke? Say....a YZ426?? Ask Chubby, he'll fill ya in on a 426.

Eatin Ain't Cheatin!

 

Hey, if he wants to part with $7000, he can have mine. I can't say enough good things about the YZ426.

 

All the newer 250's really want to "turn" and the RM's are about the "twitchest" of them all.... Try to ride as many difrent bikes as you can, and remember that it being your first bike will probley get thrashed....
What kind of riding do you want to do???

After ridin the two stroke there is simply no way I will ever want to buy a four stroke, just the way the sound and accelerate is reason enough for me to buy one, I have found a good deal on a 99 Rm 250 and if I did buy it could I put some type of steering stabilizer on it? would that help the twitchy feeling? also would some suspension adjustment and differant tires help because I absolutely have to have a new 250 2 stroke.
oh and thanks for the offer chubby but I must have a 2 stroke.

Dammit you guys! Now the poor impressionable thing wants a 2-smoke. Another child lost to the dark recesses of society. Like I'm totally ashamed..........

 

Well that bike that I rode the other day will probably be for sale because the owner just broke his arm and will be out for the rest of the season so I might ask him if he wants to sell it. oh by the way he broke it by hittin a tree while ridin it and had to get hauled to the hospital in a ambulance supposedly he shattered some bones in his arm real bad.

Just two squirts tho.

 

OK, Bubba, enough about the amount of piss someone will give for an RM (btw they are yellow, you know), my question is how are you gettin "headshake" during acceleration? That's how I get rid of it. Hammer it! Please define this headshake you are getting. I usually get it when at constant speed, or decelrating across uneven ruts or bumpy terrain. Do you mean this as in it is rattling your head? Headshake as I have been explained is that god awfull shaking left to right, right to left, left the left, right then left, left right, right, right, left, OH MY GOD I'M CARTWHEELING IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, of the handle bars (head) of the bike in choppy terrain.

Please let us know what you mean, and remember, blue is your friend. Hee hee

I love the smell of two-stroke in the morning.....

 

hey bud , you obviously havent ridden a new 4 stroke lately, they hit like a 2 stroke and are more dependable
anyway I would listen to KYRON on this one RIDE AS MANY BIKES AS YOU CAN BEFORE YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND, and as yzroosinya said the RM is one of the worst out there

Ride hard, Lifes short

 

I REALLY WANT TO RIDE THAT YZ250F AND 426F, they semm pretty dam trick. the 250 motor weighs less than the 2 stroke 250. thats awesome cosid it has so many more parts. finally technology!!!!! woo hooo, yeah blue did it

 

imagine how light the 2 strokes could be if they got all that technlogy put into them...

hook me up

 

98warrior, two strokes can't be technological...they are just two parts, a piston and a crank, hehe, although...look at snowmobiles, when are we gonna get a 800cc triple cylinder two stroke in a quad? Or a twin in a bike, hehe, yeah right.

Eatin Ain't Cheatin!

 

Raptor, where you been old man?

 

also isnt there a weight limit in the AMA? if so this would give the 4 strokes an advantage by taking away one of the 2 stroke main advantages of being light weight..
