So I ordered some main jets , smaller in size than the 172 in there and I was going to drop the needle / raise the clip to lean it out but when i removed the float chamber the pilot jet fell out !!!!!!:eek: I Screwed it back in , put the carb back together , put it back on , runs like a 426 killer !!:crash

Cool!!!! Now lets get out and ride it:yesnod. And see if it really is a 426 killer.....I don't think sooooo:D :D
I just rode it for about 10 minutes and it was screaming !!If I had removed the float chamber when I had the carb off at Tellico I could have been riding it !! Oh well , I have smaller jets and know what to do now if I get in the mountains and or higher humidity and it runs rich . Lets go to the Gap or to brown mtn this coming weekend !?

Man I wish I could. I have been wanting to do either for a while. But I am doing Jennings sunday. Can't pass up $75 trackday with lunch provided. But after this month I really don't have anything planned until maybe october at Barber if we still do that. So let's get together and ride. I think Eric and some of the guys are looking at maybe a Gap trip weekend of August 27th. I think I will plan on that, but I am open for whatever.
Gawarrior 07-17-2004, 05:08 PM I am considering hitting a MX track tomorrow. Don't know yet. But now with the YZ setup I have on my bike it is totally different. And Should be great on the MX track. I have one about 35-40 minutes from my new house. Plus it has a flat track and a 3 mile woods trail too. You should come down here soon and we can hit the MX track on the dirtbikes and then hit N. Georgia on the Streetbikes. Have to make it a couple of days though.
I hope this fall we will do several trips . I am racing my jetski 3 out of four weekends in August so I dont think I will make the gap that weekend in Aug. Now that it is fixed I can focus on planning a trip with it !
R1Ryd3R 07-17-2004, 05:31 PM Someone think they have a 426 killer 'eh? :hellobye
Something makes me think a lil carb work may not get you roosting me on a track :lol This used to be a stock 426 until I sunk about $5k into her. :thumbup
R1Ryd3R 07-17-2004, 05:32 PM I can't wait to get to the track tomarrow! Wish I could hook up with you guys down south..
Hey, I've always wondered how to get multiple pics into 1 post? Can anyone tell me, thanx.
Dude , that is one SCWHEEET ride ! I love the blue rims ! Come on down and ride with us !:) So I can smoke that 426 ! :crash :lol
hershell 07-17-2004, 06:54 PM went looked at a 04 wr 250f today. look like a good buy. not a scratch. had about 300 miles. asking $4500. but when i rode it i was a little disapointed how slow it is. i think if i get one i'll get a 450.
hershell 07-17-2004, 06:58 PM looks fast.

I'd love to get down there! Some of the pics you guys put up before looked awesome! Allthough things are busy for me right now, and I'd have to definately find a place to crash as it'd be a nice long drive down there. I'll give ya a chance at smoking me :-) Just like a gave a CRF450 and a Husky 250 at my buddies trrack the other day, bwaaahaaahaaa!! hehe, allthough ya never know, I have been smoked by a freeking little A class rider kid on a 125 last month! The lil dude roosted me!! :boom

Yeah, it looks fast allright, and the price isn't bad either, but seriously this 250cc 4 stroker bike isn't made for big power or real trail abusing unless your a very light person. It can be fixed up to get more power but probalbly not worth it as you'd be better off spending the money getting the bigger 450.
Hershell , me and Chad were just talking about the power of the 250 f vs the 450 f , i think I am gonna have to consider the 450 also , if and when I can afford one that is !
I have been riding and racing these 2 alot this summer , but when fall gets here I will be riding bikes more !
R1Ryd3R 07-17-2004, 07:20 PM sweet rides bro:thumbup Damn I wish I had one of those, they look so fun to ride! The only time I'm around jet skis is when I'm fishing:cryin
Do you have a 250f BKR1? I didn't think they made the f model that year and was thinking you had the 2 stroker.
hershell 07-17-2004, 07:26 PM my friend scott who has a cr 250 2 stroke rode it and thought the same thing. scott weights about 150 pounds. i don't know if i'm ready to get on the 4 stroke bandwagon. i like to ride 450 just to see
I have the 2 stroker . I bought it brand new in 2000 , I love it , but eventually I will purchase a four banger , but keep the 2 stroke ! I hate jet skiers also ! :lol We ride in one cove with a bouy course set up almost every Sunday , the fisher man know thats the only place we ride . I fish alot myself and there is nothing worse than a disrespectful , ignorant jetskier getting ridiculously close to us !:mad:

Trust me Hershell, if you ride one you will be getting on the bandwagon:yesnod
ChampR1-Guy, it would be really cool if you could make it down to ride with us sometime. We have some pretty cool ORV trails in N. Carolina and Ga. that we ride. And definately think about the East Coast Convention next year, cause we will most definately be riding dirt then too.
R1Ryd3R 07-18-2004, 08:10 AM East Coast convention? I'm definately in bro! I got a buddy with a 426 as well and we'll definately be down :rock
OVR trails sound awesome, I love trail riding as I can open my girl up and get some 5 gear wheelie action in :rock I only get to see motorcross tracks around here and I never get to trail ride as the only dedicated trails are for quads only. ,:cryin

By far the coolest place I have ever been on dirt bikes ! :) I really hope you and your buddy can make the convention with your dirt bikes , you will love Tellico ORV , no doubt !
I got to ride at Devils Ridge motocross track today , boy was I flying !! Chad , Lets take dirt and street bikes to the gap this weekend( July 30 ) !? I think Eddie will be there !! If not then maybe Brown Mtn ?:dunno :riding :fork

Brian, I sure would love too. But I have party at my house on Sat. the 31st:( So I can't do it this weekend. But I know some others will be there if you decide to go. I would really like to hit the dirt for sure:yesnod. I hope we can get together soon.
We just got back from Jennings a little while ago. It was pretty cool. Actually it was pretty HOT!!:lol. Got some good riding in. I tell you what though...camping in Florida in July is for the birds!! Hot, humid, bugs, and sand everywhere.:lol I am really to hit the dirt now, too bad I can't next weekend. We will soon though. If you get off that darn superjet:lol :lol
BTW, I tryed to get some good pics today. I used a 35mm with a 300x zoom. Gonna go get them put on a CD tomorrow and see how they came out.
Cant wait to see some pics ! I forgot my camera today . I dont ride the Superjet , I ride the SXR !:D I am racing in Macon August 8 th but I am thinking of bailing on the 2 after that , work is killing me , I have worked 140 hrs in the last two weeks !!:bash I will probably go ahead and work this coming Sat also . Maybe late August or early Sept. we can go somewhere !?

That sounds like a plan:yesnod. Dude you need to lay off the work a little:lol. 140 hours in 2 weeks is insane!:scared I don't know how you have time to do anything working that much.
Its not so bad . I got to do it so I can save up for a 450 F ! My 250 is in excellant shape though , so I am in no hurry .:dollar
hershell 07-25-2004, 09:40 PM brian, you need you sell me that 250 so you can go get that 450f. i need a dirtbike bad.

I will eventually get a four stroke but I didnt want to go buy it because the 2 stroke wasnt running , now it is though !:D Hershell I might sell it to you but really I plan to keep it , its the only motox bike I have bought brand new , 4 years old and still like new !:rock

The problem is that you would have to be in front of me to roost me:D And me being on the MASSIVE THUMPER.....that will not be a problem:no :lol
Alright, I am up for a ride as soon as ya'll can get together. Rob, Brian, and Hershell we need to try and plan an overnighter somewhere soon. Durhamtown, Brown Mountain, and Brushy Mountain (Basically DT in the mountains), or Tellico would be our best bets for one.
And no worries Rob, I won't forget you....3 two strokes!!!!:scared where is Lance when I need him:lol Good thing I will be out front so I don't have to die from all that smoke.:D

:lol Not a couch anymore. I put a YZ tank, seat, and rear fender on it. The motor and suspension is already the same as the YZ. So the only thing that remains from the ol WR days is the
headlight. So no worries, just watch out for the big roost, and their legs will be plenty stretched just trying to keep the up with the thumper. :D
hershell 08-10-2004, 03:52 PM Chad left the headlight on so he can see how to get home.

Bummer. Maybe we can try and hit some dirt next weekend:dunno. Maybe me and Rob will hit the street this weekend then. Maybe even make a day Gap trip.
Also, I think a few of us are planning on doing a Gap trip last weekend of this month. Me, Brian, Earache and not sure of who else. Maybe you can join us for that.
