Message: [QUOTE="m4i2k2e2, post: 1262488, member: 80837"] i have a 99 cr250r. i trail ride with mine all the time. i dont foul plugs. every so often ill pull the clutch in and blip the throttle to clean it out, so i dont load it up. a 2 stroke engine is not as complicated as a 4 stroke. but, if you take the time to properly maintain the bike and get a great manual ( i use clymer ) you should be fine. i love my 250, i have flooded that bike so bad before and i pick it up and it starts right away. my cousin floods his xr400 and he has to sit and wait and wait before it will start. were talking a good 5 - 8 minutes before it will start again. 125's: say your on tight trails on a 125 youll be feathering the clutch to stay up in the rpms so your not bogging when your putting around and you need power to climb a hill. like, if your coming around a real tight corner and you need to climb a steep hill. you could bog the bike. its not as likely on a 250. i rode someone 125 and it bogged on my when i was putting and hit the gas. on my 250 it just jumps up and goes. depending on the 4 stroke you buy, you could buy a trail bike like the crf450x or the XR's. will be alot more tame then a crf450r. did you look into a 250f? you really need to ride some bikes before you make your desiscion. either way just pick a mechanically sound bike. you asked how hard it is to ride a 250. its all how respectfull you are to the throttle.
