Message: [QUOTE="Duwvesmith, post: 243381, member: 27089"] I have been riding a 95' XR250 for 7 years (bought new). I live in North Carolina and our trails put the "T" in tight. We also ride in West Virginia on the Hatfield trail system, BIG hills. I weigh 170 in gear and am 5"10". I love the bike and have tried many other brands and models (swap for the day with a friend). I suggest the following mods. Call Thumper Racing and get the 280 kit and lightened flywheel. This allows the bike to rev quicker and because the flywheel is so heavy to begin with you won't give up tractability. Send your fork and shock to Factory Connection and let them wave their magic wand over them. Just tell them your riding wieght with mud and where you ride. They'll get it right. I heard from a friend that the Thumper carb replacement makes a big difference but I have not done that due to cost. The final touch is to add a Scotts steering dampener and you'll be happy.....I guarantee it! [/QUOTE]
