[QUOTE="gn83tm, post: 656843, member: 38076"] Thanks for the replies! I don't think the clutch is really an issue unless he would need to do a lot of slipping to keep the motor running. The boys' been riding a YZ80 for about a year now and does pretty good with the clutch. He's not feathering it like a pro but is able to start, stop, and shift with no problems. I'm just looking to get him on something that he'll feel comfortable riding the trails with. So far his experiences on trails riding the YZ have been pretty rough. The bike is just too big for him to handle when the going gets rough. If he's riding fields or the MX track he's able to get along really well. I think if he had a little smaller bike in the woods he would be able to put his feet down and maybe even stop and regroup before tackling the next obstacle. I'm looking for a lightweight 2 stroke bike with a 28-30" seat height, a standard tranny, and a real chassis and suspension. The KX60 seems to fit the needs and I'm also wondering about the JR80. It's about the right height although I'm sure the suspension probably isn't on par with the KX. It probably does have better manners for the woods but would be a tough ride on the MX track I would think. I suppose the XR80 is to be considered also but it just doesn't trip my trigger. 155 lbs sounds like anchor weight to me compared to the KX at 115 lbs and the JR at 130 lbs. Thanks for the help. Isn't this a great sport to be in? [/QUOTE]
