Found what looks like a good deal on an 01 250MXC (2 stroke): http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/205007084.html
(dibs, by the way ;) )
I'm wondering what if anything I'd need to do to set it up for the technical, rocky singletrack riding we do. I ran a few searches here, and know the EXC is better for tight stuff. I'd be coming from a 87 RM250, though, so I have a strong feeling that both would be a huge improvement.
Can the stator on the M run a light? I'm 200lbs without gear, so the stiffer stock suspension would probably be a plus. Is the flywheel weight on the M enough?
If I did have to split the cases someday, anyone know how interchangeable the tranny parts are between the two?
How different is the linkage-less rear suspension going to feel on trails? Any immediate changes I'd need to make?
