[QUOTE="kx_dave, post: 835328, member: 23570"] I'll second that. I bought a 00 KX250 when they came out. I left it stock but I don't really ride tight woods with it. The times I did the power was an awful lot to control and I ended up stalling the bike quite a bit. I prefer more wide-open trails where I can keep the momentum up otherwise I'd probably have bought a different bike. I'd have your friend get used to the bike in a wide-open area before taking it out in the tight woods. From what I remember the 01 KX is not much different than my 00 in the motor department...which means it has one powerful motor! I haven't had much dirtbike experience before I got this bike, but I had already learned how to ride and had many years of mountainbike experience. Tell your buddy to take it slow at first, get used to the bike, learn throttle control (important!), and of course have fun. I had quite a few experiences where my throttle wrist moved unknowingly and the bike responded instantly...gotta watch out. Friends have told me a flywheel weight would help mellow out my bike, but I acutally like the 'hit' and it kinda makes the riding more fun. Then again if I wanted to get into tight woods riding I'd most definitely get one. Cheers.. [/QUOTE]
