You'll find at this price that the components will be the bits you'll have issues with. Cheaper 3 piece cranks tend to be amongst the first parts to go. You'll often find the splines (the small grooves that hold the crank arm in place on the bottom bracket axle) will strip meaning you'll have to replace them pretty quickly. And no, before anyone pipes up - it won't be covered by warranty if you've been using the bike for jumping / park riding. Even though the bike is designed for this, it'll be excluded from the warranty cover.
Another thing you may need to think about changing pretty quickly would be the wheels. Off the peg wheels tend to be pretty poorly built. Look for something with steel rims (heavier but stronger and better braking), 48 spoke and with a serviceable hub. No point going for cartridge bearings when the wheels are going to take a kicking. And they will. especially if you're learning to jump!
Take a look at the Specialized Fuse Two & Three. Both have good frames and a good level of equipment. The Fuse Three at $400 has a full Chromo frame and slightly lighter wheels. Otherwise have a look for the GT Bump at around $300. All good places to start.
Whatever you get, don't expect it to be unbreakable. Even the really expensive ones get busted, especially if you're just getting started. Remember to save some money for pads & a helmet. And have fun!
I ride a lot at the track, but a lot of my riding is also done in the mountains, in the woods, and on trails. Right now im leaning more towards the Honda, but its up in the air.
Thanks.

KTM has the best suspension, lightest weight, most options and the most power. It is the most expensive and parts can be hard to get. The suspension is great but fussy to adjust.
The Yamaha is great for both racing and trail riding. YZF is better for racing and the WR for trails.
The Suzuki and Kawasaki are about the same and are good for both and they have very tough motors.
The Honda has great suspension and is easy to ride fast but the motors wont last the longest.
BTW, Cycle News sucks and I wouldn't put much trust in what they say. They mostly do street bikes anyway.
Thanks!

Remove the carb, leave the cable attached and the top on.
Stick your finger in and lift the slide.
If it returns, the slide and carb are OK.
If not clean them.
Put the carb back on the bike.
Remove the throttle cable from the throttle (hand grip).
Pull the inner cable.
Does it return?
If yes, then good.
If no, might need a new cable, it's kinked, or routed wrong.
While the cable is still off, spin the throttle (whip it).
It should spin freely.
If not, could be dirty handle bars or throttle pipe (hand grip), damaged throttle pipe - replace it, bent handle bars.
The throttle housing might be dirty or damaged.
Clean it, put it together with the throttle (leave the cable off), and spin it.
Do not lube the handle bars or throttle (will attract dirt).
Leave both completely dry.

i will get you a great price
