    Why get a 2 stroke ? Easier to work on ! Usually only requires a top end which is so easy to do and not that expensive ! The smell is killer ! Very lightweight ! The Power is out of this world ! You become a legend to your friends !

      while im not biggest fan of "chainsaw screaming" (i used to live next to lumber mill and those freakin chainsaws were running 20 hours per day) , the smell... the sweet smell and sheer killer pull that this bike makes was enough to make me love them. still prefer deep gurgling sound of 4 stroke, riding wise, there is no replacement for 2 strokers :D .

    I had a Ninja ZX1000R and a friend of mine let me ride his Honda CR250 2 stroke one time. I thought to myself "This is nothing". I opened it up without even holding in the clutch and took off like a bat out of hell fish tailing as I almost lost it. When I came to a settle my friend told me the only reason I didn't wipe was because I held my feet firmly to the pegs. That thing was a beast. Too bad they're so high in maintenance. Later.

      @backyardboosters9128 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Ibcn Things the 250's really aren't that much maintenance especially if you're more into trails and what not. MX races will definitely shorten service intervals quite a bit, but an enduro 200-300cc 2 stroke only needs a topend every 80-150 hours, very comparable to 4 stroke bikes and way cheaper/easier to do.

Shifted into first (mistake). Let it rip. Wheelied for two blocks before my brain caught up with the torque and I let go of the gas. Can't wait to do -that- again.

But I'm 260 lbs, and 35 now, and finally talked ol.boy into parting with his 97 RM 250, and has been fixing it up just right, and will keep working on it until I buy it Oct. 1st or so... At $800-850... And has been getting love...
    I'm gonna get a trailer and tow behind my Lexus LS430 til I get a truck... And definitely starting slllllow and careful of the clutch, whiskey throttle situations... Any advice for my big ass? I know these things are a beast apart, and know how to ride a clutch, on a car and learned on smaller bikes. Any advice for starting out and learning to tame the stallyn would be good

      @torjusbirkeland2048 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yeah that's the reason.
      The cylinder only gets lubrication when there is fule going trough. So when shift down and let off the throttle the rpm goes ut and no oil is lubricating the engine.
      Takes some getting used to when you come from a 4 stroke where you can enginebrake as much as you want :)

    • @GladiusJon
      @GladiusJon  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I did some research into it, apparently a huge controversy. Yes, when the engine is on it gets oil and fuel.
      But the Problem occurs at high rpm. When you are closed throttle you have very little gas/oil making its way into the crank case. Arguable not enough to keep the Internals Properly lubed. I do not know enough about it to say for sure, one way or the other.

      Gladius Jon nice!! my '00 cr250r will be mine for rest of my life. and rebuilding motor is retardedly easy and cheap. smog laws limit two smokes somewhat after '02 here in cali. but an '00-'02 is faster than most new bikes. hella light too. shit, well you know. glad youre getting one soon! that bike will open up a whole nother world of fucktastic shenanigans out there im sure! haha

    Don't loop it out. My 99 is a 4 stroke game changer. The few that have ridden it came back grinnin ear to ear. With the power valve all the way down. ✌

    Just imagine if it was jetted properly or, if you'd take off the choke!!!

    • @dormantmenace
      @dormantmenace 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It would just die once it got good n warm with the choke on, once he rolled of the trottle. Bike sounds good n crisp. Late 90 rms make a lot of engine noises. Pops cracks ticks. .. Possibly slightly lean at best

    My next bike will be a 2 stroke for sure the only reason why I don’t have a 2 stroke is because I’m a beginner and my dad wouldn’t let me buy a 2 stroke even though I’m the one paying for it so that’s kinda dumb I mean I think I should’ve been the one to choose what type of dirt bike I bought

    2 strokes are good fun, but it just depends how much money ya wanna spend on riding, i know my mates spend twice as much as me when we go out for a ride on fuel and oil, wherei spend $8 in gas on my DRZ 400, they spend $25 in gas and then another $10 in oil.. im all about the cheap and easy riding..lol, make sure you dont flip those 2 smokers thou.. lol,

    • @oo0Spyder0oo
      @oo0Spyder0oo 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      yeah they get away with cheaper fuel but not on the high cost of valve/chain and cam gear when it comes to rebuilding time. No matter which you go for it all adds up the same eventually.

    you need to sort the pilot jetting and needle out in the carb, sounds horrible at bottom end and thats why you get a big burst of power higher up when your fuelling is crisp

    • @codenamenel
      @codenamenel 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Give over, its too rich at the bottom, its not until about half revs it starts to sound crisp, you can hear it mainly when he turns off the stone track into the wooded part, then back onto the stone part from the woods.
