    My new CRF250R

    Hey guys i sold my Rm to buy this bike. Ive looked at alot of bikes but this by far beat them all. Its a 2006 with dual pipes. New plastics, graphics, chain, sprockets, and tires. He gave me all the oem plastics too. Runs great. Got it for 2650 howd I do? Anyhting to look for?

    Be on the lookout for a piston turned sideways in the bore, a rod protruding out of the cases, and broken-off valves!

    Sharp bike though! go through the motor with a fine-tooth comb before you get much seat time on it.......if the previous owner abused it, it wont last long with you MX'ing it.

    I plan to have it gone through before I ride it. Anyone know a good lock for a bike besides a chain and lock?

    A. pull plug wire off just far enough it looks connected, but isnt.
    B. they make disc brake locks that lock into the front brake disc.
    C. Shotgun and a big mean dog.

    Hey guys the bikes been running great. Today I took a short ride before I had to leave and it felt harder to shift down than up? And also whenvI pull my clutch in the stop it makes a zzzt zzzt noise. I tightened my clutch cable...nothing, and then I checked my engine oil fine then the transmission oil cold was green and checked my manual and it said to idle it first. The small amount came out and seemed normal but it was white then Id that normal?

    Yeah man it shouldnt have anti frezze in the oil, you will have to drain the oil and out new in, but my friend has a 250r just like yours minus the plastic, and it will wax a kfx250x and a ktm250xc so its a nice bike, but get that oil checked out eh.

    I was cruising around the internet the other day and i found this sweet moose wheel lock chock.
    Motorcycle lock
    but it is easy to remove the front wheel. My vote is the chock and then to run a chain through the frame with super heavy pad locks
