Ok lets add to ur description. The flipped the motor ad fuel tank being lower does lower the weight it also centralizes the weight into middle of the chassis. It allows for ram air into air box via the scoops on inside of rad shrouds, and also the longer the head pipe is where there gaining there torque as well as the ram air. Suspension is by far the best in the business. Ktm wp air forks alot of people dislike and switch the internals to s spring conversion. It is abit heavy but being how well balanced the bike is u dont really notice the weight on a track. I can show u how well balanced the yz250f is over a ktm as when on stand both wheels are off the ground. Ktms front wheel is always on ground unless its pulled way back on the stand. I have a 2017 ktm 150sx, 08 ktm 144sx a 2011 ktm 85sx and my 21 yz250f and i absolutely love my yz250f. I bought it end of last season with 2 races left. Both my wife and boy now want a yamaha after riding all of our bikes. Your issue with starting is more then likely the spark plug gone or going bad. The fuel pump wont even prime if the plug is bad. Anyway best of luck If u ever want a set of the best bars on the market hit up twisted engineering and buy a set of carbon composite bars i have lvl 3 flex and id probly go lvl 4 next u dont notice them bending as they move all directions but helps alot in a case or rough choppy situations.
Track/racing is adrenaline and addictive feeling you dont get anywhere accept maybe them bug hare scramble races that have like 500 bikes all rushing to one corner then that would be on a different level.
Thankyou for input, I didn’t have much of a choice since the wind is ruining the GoPro audio but we are working on getting mics so music will be eliminated and we can talk when riding👍🏼
The first time I tried to wheelie, I got so close to looping. I had only been riding for maybe 2 weeks. I had that bike for 5 months, and I could wheelie it when I sold it, but my foot brake control was terrible. It's the bike in my profile pic. I bought a ktm 500 after that and had my first loop 2 weeks after buying it.
@chase3377 I've never tried to wheelie a 2 stroke, but it seems like there are plenty of people that don't have a problem with it. I like the engine brake of a 4 stroke.
this is me trying to save u some money, I have a atc 250r with a crack case and u wouldn't believe how well jb weld seal stuff, fully clean off the surface and put some on probably steel stick, then u could probably sand it down or something and hit it with some silver paint no one would ever know that's like a 13 dollar fix
