Hey all,
About a month ago I bought a used WR250F (2001), gosh this bike is a pain in the ass.
It's impossible to start easy, after bringing it 2 times to the god damn shop it still maybe starts a bit better (still got stuck 20 min after it stalled when the engine was very hot) but it still stalls and the starting is just killing you after the bike get shuts off after riding an hour and being tired, then kicking the starter like 50 times.
So that's it, I'm replacing it. Sicking tired of it, pissed of and disappointed and to tell you the truth I don't have time to start fixing the problems it has with the starting and start installing a 2003 cam, with timing, start to play with jetting, and DSP powernow, powerlater, bla bla.
So now, I might buy a 2004 model if I can get a good deal on'em, if not, 2005, all brand new:
-WR250F brand new WITH(!!!!!) electric start
-CRF250X 2004/5
-CRF250R 2004/5
-KX125/YZ125 2004/5
Does the CRF250X have less power then my current WR250F? cause I love the powerband the WR250F has (when it's working).
I dont ride motocross, I ride trails, woods/forest and sand.
I'm 5'11-6' and weight like 150lbs, i'm not a novice I guess.
Electric start is not a MUST as you see, but I need a bike that will start on the damn FIRST KICK (like the CRF250R), so if any of the bikes I listed have any (any!) starting problems they are off the subject, PERIOD.
Going to buy the bike Tuesday I hope,
Please tell me what you think.
Thanks.
