Crguy thanks for the offer, but PA is bit too far. Ok, I deserved the ribbing, I'm just frustrated, some of it is that I'm coming off a smelly, crappy yz 400F. I wanted to go to a 2 stroke, rode a friends yz125 & liked how light it was, but I had the throttle pinned most the ride & could see wanting more soon. I went with the 250 & had read the 01 Cr was the bike to get & luckily a guy with an 01cr wanted a 400f. I think I may have a jetting prob, the bike has no power down low, then little over half throttle it explodes but is not exactly usable power, it's pretty much like a light switch. I want to try a flywheel weight, but don't see how it could help if I have no real throttle control. I didn't notice the bike acting like this before (but was on a longer/wide turn track), only the last few times I've had it out where I need some throttle control. I've gone through the carb, float is set, jets are clean, air filter is good, reeds are good, the piston visually looks ok & plug is tight :laugh: . I do want to get through this though, I really like everything else about this bike, just frustrated. Eric Gorr sound like a good guy to talk to, thanks guys. Jason
