Great machine did 50MPH stock with my 185 LB butt on it verified with GPS no problems at all, elec start and reverse, shaft drive, little maintenance, like change oil, more time to ride, unlike 2 stroke with fouling plugs no reverse and no kick start, but it is faster, so for my son the choice was easy hope that helps

 

in an earlier reply some one mensioned good for some one from 90 to 140 pounds i am 12 5'6 and weigh about 125 150 so should i buy something bigger or no

 

i ment 145 150

 

The 250EX is perfect for ya kid,,,

 

Your weight isn't a problem, the heavier the better probably since it has kinda stiff suspension, and tends to hop around a lot, thats about one of the only bad things about it.

 

the only problem with this is i was planing on buying a used quad since this will be my first quad and i cannot find any 250ex for sale

 

Cycletrader.com has used ones for sale, along with every other atv under the sun.

 

Routes,

The wheel spacers go between the stock hub and the wheel itself. They use longer bolts in place of the pressed in studs to secure the wheel and spacer to the hub. I don't reccomend this on a machine that you can buy a wider axle or wider A-arms for. The only problem with the 250EX is that it has shaft drive and that really limits your axle choices to nothing or wheel spacers. Not to mention aftermarket manufacturers aren't exactly going to get rich selling wider 250EX A-arms.

The only real problems are two fold. The first is that they aren't as strong a set up as wider axles or wider A-arms. They are made of polyurethane and titanium. The grade 8 bolts they give you are strong, but they can't take the place of a wider axle. Number two is that they can be a little hard on the hubs and bearings, because of the increased leverage. I wouldn't do a lot of jumping with the wheel spacers on, but then again the 250EX wouldn't be my first choice of a machine to jump.

In short, I can recomend them for the 250EX where you don't have any other options, but not for just about any other sport machine that you can buy an axle and wider A-arms for.

 

Durablue makes an Eliminator 2+2 for the 250EX.
