[QUOTE="fishwater, post: 1135948, member: 73132"] Honestly I got back on the dirt with a 250 2 stroke after a few years off & it was tough in the tight woods of New England. You need to add a flywheel weight to the bike to help calm the hit down. I now have a YZ426 4 stroke & the hit is easier to manage in the woods but it still requires some work as well as a flywheel weight. Honestly to do it over again I would either buy a KTM, KDX or XR for the terrain up here. All of these bikes are alot easier to manage in the woods. I know it's hard to not get seduced by all the sexy MX bikes but they all require some money & work to get dialed in for tight technical singletrack. If I was to stay with an MX bike it would either be a YZ250 or 250f. The only problem with the XR's is the weight & suspension. BTW, I am 6'1" 260lbs & 36 years old, I am not getting any younger or thinner! Any bike I ride needs suspension work. [/QUOTE]
