Default Thinkin about a 250F...

Well I got my CDI box today and that was the problem because it fired up every kick and has great spark. It is extremely obvious that that was the problem. My CR is a very nice bike and I'm confident that it will be very reliable bike, but I'm getting the 4 stroke itch. I don't care what 250F I get but it will most likely be a YZF since I can find them cheaper used. How would it be buying a used MX 4 stroke? It seems as if MX 2 strokes become disposable after a couple of years, what should I look out for on the YZF?
Mainly my hardest problem is keeping myself from talking myself into keeping my CR, but I'm gonna try my best from doing that. Just wandered if there is any thing I should look out for besides the usual? Do yall think I'm making the right move?

Well i wouldnt say that a 4 stroke is a far better bike than a 2 stroke but they each have there advantages, 2 strokes must stay on the pipe to run good, 4 strokes have better low end torque and dont necessarally need to be reved to the moon to get ya going, 2 strokes have more snap but 4 strokes have more linier power than a 2 stroke, in my opinion each is good and each has there good and bads, i would necesarally choose a 4 stroke over a 2 stroke if one was being given to me!!!

That's what I love about 2 strokes once you get on them it just throws you back.

Iam the same CRacer, Iam beginning to think YZ250F. Or a YZ450F. I think the wide power of 4 speed 450 would be great! I like my YZ125 alot but I love the sound of the racing 4-strokes! I am getting a club license so maybe when Iam at the local track I can take a 250F for ride. How much more torque do YZ250f have than XR250?

It's a decision that no one else can really make. We all like different bikes.
BUT..............................2 STROKES ARE THE BEST

Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier. At the time I was pretty mad at my CR and wanted to get some revenge. The racing 4 strokes do sound crazy and just the sound of them makes me want to get one. But I still can't see if there that much better than a 2 stroke. I guess I'll have to ride one and find out.

I Love my 426, but it sure is fun to flick the KX125 around.
Yea, I know the power difference is there.......Maybe its my level of riding, but the 125 hauls my fat behind around fine. Plenty of fun and enough power for me.

Although, going back and forth between the two in the same day is shocking at first. No compression braking with the 125.

I've been racing 125s for a few years and now that I have a CRF250 I can't believe how much faster(and safer) it is. I've been killing myself chasing these things and now I know why.

Hey Cracer, I just got off of a 2000 cr125 and got on a crf 250. 1 word....Awesome. Much easier to ride and predictable. Once you get on a four stroke, say goodbye to your two stroke. Your itch will be satisfied.
