I was going to get a 250X in about a year, year & half. I was wondering if i should get a 250X i weigh 150 and around 5' 2". i was going to get the kuoboa lowering link for it (if not already on it).

i was considering the same thing. i had a 150F and wanted to get a 250X, but not only are they crazy high, a lot of maintnence is required on this bike. the racing engine requires a lot of attention, i've heard of valves being a problem on this bike too.
i've settled for a 230F. after i pep up the intake, carb, exaust, and shocks it will be perfect for my riding conditions.
if you don't mind having to mess with the parts, you could save a lot of money doing that.

A 250X actually needs relatively low maintanence as far as valves go, changing oil frequently will keep the engine running as it should, as long as it's not being revved to high for too long.

you are heavier than me and smaller

omg thats funny

[itsgrady]

i was thinkin of gettin a CR125 with a lowering link and cutting the seat foam b/c i'm 5'2" and weigh 100 lbs.

You might look into the Service Honda that fits the 250 engine into the CR85 frame. It's perfect for small riders from what I hear.

[itsgrady]

yea but that is way too out of my budget to get a custom bike

[woodsman]

What is your budget? Are you old enough to get a few temporary jobs to more earn money?

[itsgrady]

possibly....im 15

[redrooster65]

The only in between bike I know is not red so don't flame me. How about the KX100?

[itsgrady]

i was lookin at one of them as well as a RM100 supermini. i have 4 years riding experience, would they be a good ride for me?

[ship_killer6666]

im 15, 5'8½ and weight 145

Im working everyweekend for a damn yz 125

do the same :p

[redrooster65]

At 5'2" I think it would be a wise choice.

[itsgrady]

yea i think so too. If i can sell my CRF150 soon i'll be able to ride it on the ice at my friend's lake
