If i was you, i would look into gettin a 400ex. Im 17, 5'5 130lbs, and i have a 400ex. so i think you would be right for a 400ex. If u get a 250 or a 300 your not going to be happy. I bought my 400ex and i wouldnt trade that thing for anything. I love the 400ex its great for trails,pits, racing, and Wheelies.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
It doesnt matter what size you are its how you ride. I was 14 years only with 94 yz250, with like every mod possiable. It just depends on how you ride. But if your thinkin out gettin a 400ex u should just get a 400 because your goin to grow out of the 300.

 

yes, it is either aftermarket, or they sent the plastic somewhere and got it painted. I say just get whatever you feel right on. If you like the 250 then get it. Don't let anyone change your mind. Cuz its better to get what you like then to get what other people like. Cuz your gonna be the one riding it most of the time. I felt right on my 250 cuz of its size. I knew the engine wasnt going to be very fast, nothing a good aftermarket part couldn't fix, but I felt good on it, so I went ahead with it.

 

yeah thinking about getting the black one see the problem isnt my riding style i dont have a problem with power aka the cr500r sitting in garage right now next to the yz134 and yz275 with everything possible on both i just want something to play on everyones like youll out grow it im not racing, im riding trails that are very narrow and twisty and most of the track that i ride at have a 10mph limit so a 400 would be pointless and as far as wheelies i rode my friends (pipe and jetted) for quite a ways on the back rubbers

 

get the 300ex great bick beter than the 250 its a bick that flips esay mi friend has on it 04 he has fiped it 5 time in two monthes i have the 300 its much more suty for the trail thats wat i ride in the trials and is small so it came fit turns great and mi other friend has a 400 the hats it threw the trials its to wide for them

 

lol, not to be mean or anything, but i dont think u have any idea of what ur talkin about, u didnt spell have the words right in ur paragraph, so u have to be like 7 or 8 years old. unless u failed 1st grade a lot of times.

 

ive ridden all three, and the 250 is the most fun to ride. the 400 handles the best and has loads of power, the 300 wheelies goood, and thats about it. but i think the 250 is awesome. im 180lbs and it pulls my fat *** fine. hell, i keep up with both 300's and 400's through the trails. i just feel the 250 is easier to ride, and i think it feels roomier than the 300(and it handles twice as good)
but what do i know, im a bike guy!

*2 wheels are better than 4!

 

i really agree. i have ridden my stepbro's '00 400ex and it is really powerfull, but i like my 250 more, it may not b as fast, but it is really light and is easy to do wheelies on.

 

amen to that
i have the 250 sitting in my garage just ordered a poweroll kit and am taking the head down to a machine shop that does all my work for me (i help them keep the shop clean and they give me a slight discount) to be ported and polished
ill probally make a lid for the air box and a uni filter will be going into it
oh and one quick question what size jets should it get i have no clue
thanks
