DOn't do it! Dales have soo many problems that just keep coming up. Unbalanced cranks, crank bolts backing out, oil spilling into the air box, oil pumps failing, the list goes on and on. They are cool when they run but they are a reliability nightmare.

 

Danyeo, I bought a new cannondale...it is sitting next to my 250r as I type this. where in nj are you? I am in sussex county, you gonna sell yours?

 

I'm just not sure if i should fix it and sell it or sell it now. I am thinking about about fixing it and riding it but I have NO confidence in this quad. I was told this quad would be bulletproof after getting the stage8, vent hose, and motor mount updates done, WRONG. I do like it when it runs. I really want a YFZ but i can't afford one right now. They are faster, lighter, and more reliable than the Dales. I rode one on Saturday and i loved it. He had the stock pipe on but had the pea shooter out, rejetted it, no air box lid, and cam mod. What kills me is that with all the money i have waysted on the Dale i could of had one of those by now.

 

I live in Bloomfield but store the quad in Hazlet. I also forgot to mention that i have a pile os spare parts that were worth 1500 which i bought for 1000, i may try and sell all those together once i make a list of what i have.

 

wow. only 5 hours? damn thats prolly worth 9,000+ if its in good condition. i dont think i would even trade it for 2 stock dale's (im not saying there a bad bike, i like them, just saying that r is worth wut it is).

 

keep that 250R!!! id put it in a safe place with some guard dogs tied up to it. 250R's will continue to go up in value, its a classic.

 

Ive seen a lot of posts for 250r guys trying to trade for cannons but have never heard of any one actually taking them up on it. I would try to sell it outright to those who still think the 250r is worth something. My bro is a 250r guru and might be able to take it off your hands or sell it for you. He keeps about a dozen in his inventory many mint low mileage stock ones . Pm me if you are interested.

As far as reliability Cannondale engines might be the one of the least reliable out there . ATK seems to be making a great effort to improve the design. Thier chassis on the other hand are works of art built to take incredible abuse.

If you want to be different the cannondale,ATK,or GasGas would be great choices but if you want to "keep up with the Jones's" the the yfz is the quad for you. Just be sure to put your name on it so it doesnt get lost in parking lot.LOL
