Thinkin about a 250F...

[CRacer]

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?

Why are you going 4 stroke. What's so great about them? My friend has a yz250f and I rather ride my 125 anytime. So can someone please tell me how these things are Soooooooooooooooooo Great? The 450f I can see. I don't get it lol

Well for one 4 strokes are the future and 2 strokes are on there way out...And second 4 strokes require less to maintain than a 2 stroke in my opinion not to say that all bikes dont require some to a certian exstent...

[YzRacer#53]

I defiantly know that 4 strokes are the future and 2 strokes are the past. Just wanted to know whats so great about them besides maitenence.

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?

Torch? not much b/c xr is trail, but it has about 4 more hp

[TexTwister 393]

Riding that yz250f to an XR250 would be a night and day difference!!!!!

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

[CRacer]

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.

Four strokes rule! I will never go back to a two smoke!

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.

I have a yz250f and i love it. Go get one!
