I am getting ready to pick up a 2003 CR250.  Its in fantastic shape!  I did the pre-buy inspection.........bearings, sprockets, steering, tires, rims, brakes, etc.........everything looked good and solid.  Took it for a ride and it ran very smooth.  It had been sitting for a bit but it fired fairly quickly.

The rest of the family has bikes that are pretty easy to maintain and keep running smoothly .......PW50, TT-R50, and a TT-R125............but I had a few questions about keeping this bike running smooth.  I don't have alot of experiences with bikes except changing plugs, oil.........never had to do any jetting or other maitenence.

What is the right fuel mixture you guys are running in these?  What type of oil are you mixing and with what octane?  The only mods to the bike are an FMF silencer and handlebars.  I will probably go with a pipe eventually.

Could someone also explain a few simple terms to me?   What exactly does a sterring damper do???   And what is "over-rev"?

Thanks for the help!   This is a great site with great people! :nod:
