just got my bike together and was having electrical problems so the bike was running terrible, but i got my suspension back and tuner said that the shock piston ring was blown out and was causing the suspension to not work at all.....
so the motor was running bad, the suspension was working sweet and i had a new M5B, and a nice easy fade free clutch
bike was getting hot, and died (electrical) fire it back up and richen the airscrew and intelajet all the way the bike stops dying, but runs even worse still doing decent and leaving a cloud of castor smoke beind me
passed a few experts and feeling good
get thru the "happy trail" pulling the choke whenever i can to cool the bike down and my overflow bottle is full i figure the top end is half dead anyways so ill keep going
and i see this sign on a tree.....????
this is what it means, this was 2nd lap, by 3rd lap it was so blown out no one got through without help, volunteers were trying to stay dry, but gave up pretty fast
ended coming in 2nd intermediate with a crap running bike, time to move up to expert class
it has taught me that suspension is more important than jetting... [/img]

the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

if only it was running well enough to pull 3rd there instead of 1st
there woulda been mud dripping off the trees....
there was a guy racing on a trials bike.... couldnt believe he beat me, dont see many of those racing 3 hour 3 lap races
heres what the bike did if the jetting wasnt disgusting rich,
pulling my hair out trying to figure out what it is,
disconect kill switch
swap 3 new plugs in
check all wires
swap stators
screw with jetting
remove intelajet
swap out nology wire
screw with jetting more
the day after the race i finaly run out of B7ES plugs and swap in a BR9ES and bike runs normal, but with jetting off from me messing with it
DO NOT RUN NON RESISTOR PLUGS IN A 99 CR 250 IGNITION, they dont work
cant believe i didnt figure it out earlier
