Whats A Good Dirt Bike?

admin — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:43:21 +0000

Ok im a intermediate rider and looking for another dirt bike. Im trying to get away from an 85 and preferably a 250 just wondering what you all think a good bike is. i was thinking about the honda crf 250 or the suzuki rm 250?

All of the big 5 manufacturers make a great bike these days. My only suggestion would be going with a 4 stroke over a 2, but that's your call. If I were buying a new 250F right now it would be the KX-F, but I'd be happy with any of them. If I were buying a new 250 2 stroke for motocross it would be the YZ250, wouldn't even consider any other models. If I were buying a 250 2 stroke for the woods, definitely a KTM250XC-W.

I Am Looking To Buy A Dirt Bike But Do Not Know What To Get?

admin — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 01:04:59 +0000

I am 5'8" and weigh 200 lbs and have never ridden dirt bikes I own 2 crotch rockets and have been looking at either a 250 or 450 dirt bike but dont know how much different they will be. does anyone know what would be recomonded for me

Best thing to do would be go to the dealerships and sit on both the 250 AND the 450…maybe some others aswell

whatever one feels most comfortable to you is best. dont get one you arent sure you cant handle because beginners luck means a lot of crashes on a dirtbike.

obviously 450 is going to have 200 more cc's then a 250 so its going to have quite a bit more power. its is also going to be alot heavier. it might sit a little to high for someone your height though?? im not sure…the last time i got on a 450 i was like 6 (riding on the back of my uncles…im now 15 but a mere 5'3…so as you can imagine something that big is of no use to me! lol). but anyways…my uncle is a big guy…like 6'2 sooo…ya.

the 250 will sit lower and be easier to handle…it will probably be a good first bike. it will have plenty of power. and dont worry about your weight being a factor…both bikes will zip around like crazy with a 200lbs dude on the back no problem.

What Is The Best Dirt Bike Out Of Honda Or Yahama?

admin — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 01:37:44 +0000

First one and was thanking about a 125 or 150 something like that

Yam's usually outperform but need more repair. They're a pleasure to work on. The only Honda I prefer is the 99 – 2005 cr250r. (2 stroke). If I was buying new I'd get a Yam for sure. The honda 4 stroke mx bikes have been splitting their valve seats and cost major $$$ to repair.

What Is Another Name A Dirt Bike Kick Start?

admin — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 07:27:57 +0000

My yz85 kickstart is broke and i forgot the other name for a kickstart to buy a new one

Footstart?.. i think the word kickstart is correct.. if you just go down to whatever dealer you bought your bike at and asked for a kickstart lever to fit on a yz85 i think they'de know what you mean

Mini Dirt Bike In City?

admin — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 18:33:59 +0000

I live in a small city with wide roads and open space. Is it a good idea to buy a mini dirt bike to go to my uni 3 km (on tar road) and also try some stunts in evening?

what bout the tires?

does it need a driving liscence (MINI dirt bike)?

i'm looking at it as a fun bike more and transport less.

Your mini-dirt bike is probably not legal to operate on public roadways, and may get you a couple of traffic tickets. If you want to ride a motor vehicle on public streets, buy one that's licensed for the street.

Any One Know What Website Is Good To Look For Dirt Bikes?

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 05:28:47 +0000

Know any good websites to visit when looking for Dirt bikes? Answer would be appreciated.

Ebay or Craigslist

On Ebay you at least have a binding contract so that they can't just rip you off as badly if you buy a lemon. They also have the bstr prices since it is bidding.

Craigslist is another but keep in mind they are usually asking much more than it is normally worth and they can also "forget to mention" things with out having any consequences.

Just stick with ebay

Can You Repair A Gas Tank On A Dirt Bike, From Corrosion?

admin — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:56:06 +0000

The gas tank was left for a few years with a small amount of gas in it, so in order to not have to buy a new tank is there some kind of solution that can be poured in it and fix the inside? Or any other method, the tank is pretty expensive.. any suggestions will help

Get the 3 step system by KBS Coatings. Better than Kreem which just sits on top the metal & eventually loosens breaking away over time. KBS sealer seeps into the metal pores and interlocks with it for a more permanent seal. It can handle expansion & contraction of the tank too. Choose the kit for your size tank. The inside of the tank will look like brand new silver metal.
