My first race is on july 15 and i was wondering what i should do to my 250X to get it ready to race i just got a new carrier , clutch lever nerfs kill switch numbers and seals anything i should know or do to be ready ?

 

Well, your 250X sounds like it is pretty much set up already. My only suggestion is to practice as much as you can, and get a good feel for the track. Practice everything. This means, starts, whoops, corners, jumps, etc. Most importantly, have fun.

 

also what gear should i start in 2nd or first I have 14/38 gears and 22inch stock tires i heard i should run low preasure in the rear tires like 2 pounds is this true ?

 

Practice your starts and find out which gear is best to take off in. First gear may make you wheelie out of the gate. It does me. I think that trying 2nd gear, and keeping the revs at about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle would be a safe bet. Just enough to take off without popping a wheelie or bogging. I suggest you try both gears at practice and decide for yourself.

About the tire pressures. I think 2lbs is too low. I would run a good median pressure. Enough to slide well, but still hook up. Test out the pressures on the track. If it slides too much, let out some air. If it doesn't slide enough, put a little air in you tires. Trial and Error. Good luck.

 

What kind of racing? Flattrack, MX, cross country? What?

 

MX racing

 

If your going to be getting some big air stiffen up your shocks by adjusting the preload some if you have stock shocks.

 

they allready have all the preload possible on em now and i still bottom out off small jumps I only weigh 130 and my friends 2001 300ex does the same .

 

Mine do the same too. Thats the reason I'm gettin some works shocks.

 

what type of works shocks are you getting ? stealers?
