'99 YZ250 for off-road Enduro/HS ?

I have a 2001 yz 250 I am considering turning into a woods rider. keep me posted to the mods you do, it will give me some insight for mine.

My friend has a 99'YZ 250 modded for the woods. All we ride is cross-country and harescrambles. He changed the gearing, and put a FMF Gnarly pipe for more more low-end torque. The bike actually has too much bottom end hit for my liking(it lost alot of top-end with the pipe too).The bike has incredible low-end torqe. It is a great woods machine:cool: .

i rode a 99 yz250 in the woods and loved it. spend your money on a flywheel weight and suspension revalve. you may need a larger fuel if you run longer events. i also had a steering dampner which is nice.

I have a 00 YZ, just got it last weekend and did a 2 hour mx yesterday but the track was more like a short cross country, with laps no longer than 8 mins but not what i would call a motocross track. The bike ran great, only problem i would say is that i wasnt ready for 2 hous of racing, and that it wasnt hooking up the way im used to, havent raced for 3 months and coming off a RMX 250 and still getting used to the bike, but a heavier flywheel maybe the answer to it, but awesome power everywhere else and like i said getting used to the bike is the main problem, and havent raced for so long. As for it compared to a 99 i wouldnt know, my RMX was a 94 and the difference is amazing, the YZ is SO much better in all departments.

jimt,

I ride a with a buddy who ride a 00 YZ 250. His mods include, larger fuel tank, suspension revalve, "O"ring chain, FMF Pipe w/Turbine Core II S/A, flywheel, steering damper and a few other little items. I've rode the bike and it is a hoot to ride! Off road manners are very good!
