[QUOTE="YZmidLife, post: 1125313, member: 73862"] Just picked up a sweet looking '01 YZ250 that I was told was a practice bike for a 170lb sponsored MX rider (suspension revalved for him), that pretty much sat for the last two years. I plan on using it for woods riding in Northwestern Oregon and Northern California, so it needs to be way quieter, maybe a bit more plush, some armor.... I'm 5'9", 190lbs, 36 years old, haven't ridden in 15 years, kind of out of shape, great health insurance. It has a Pro Circuit Works pipe with a Factory 304 silencer, but the first thing that's changing is the silencer to an FMF Q. I care less about the power loss, and more about continuing to have places to ride. Would have gone with a PC Type 296, but they don't appear to be made for the '01 YZ. Will the FMF silencer/sparc arrestor work with the PC pipe? If not, I'll go with an FMF gnarly also. Here is the list of other changes I'd like to/might make: Suspension re-dialed to my specs Handguards Devol radiator guards Heavier flywheel Scotts (or other) stabilizer Rekluse Auto-z clutch skid plate Of course, I still want to have money left over to put gas in it, so I have to pick and choose. What would you choose to change on a bike like this if you had approx. $1000 to put into it? [/QUOTE]
