Get yer azz back on the seat too. Treat that machine right bro! It'll be a while but I think my kid will be getting one.

 

I am getting my butt back. And I do treat it right (most of the time). I would never even think about doing half of the stuff that most of my friends do. I just push the limits, not break them [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Got my Z250 today, just from buzzing around the parking lot before loading it in my truck I can tell it will wheelie easy. Just from taking off, the front end feels pretty light. I think this will be a great quad for my daughter. I sure do love the tires on the bike!! I was thinking I would have to buy paddles but they look just like the ones on the z400 and raptor, which are great in the sand. I thought I was going to get the bubble looking ones like on the breeze.

 

My uncle was riding my Z250 today and it will wheelie easy if you put it in 2nd, punch it, and pull up. He is a lot bigger than me, 6'2" 200lbs, so he can get his weight over the back end a lot easier. I tried it and I can get the front end up a little, but not very much. I guess I have to stick with popping into gear for now.

 

Whats the top speed? Race anybody yet?

 

put one foot on the grab bar while your in 2nd and punch it and pull up. it works on the ozark without a problem, you can even shift through the gears

 

I will try out the speed this next weekend. We are planing a Memorial Day getaway. I rode it up and down the street and its got pretty good power for a shaft drive. I couldnt believe it was shaft drive, I can easily pull a wheelie on that, it definitely has some instincts from its older brother (Z400)!

 

The shaft drive is very dependable, better than the competators in it's class. Suspension is pretty good, 6.1 inches of travel aint bad for jumpiing fairly nice amounts of air. the top speed is 53-55, and that's flat out full throttle in the last gear.

 

I posted this earlier on another topic but here it is again. Plus I wanted to add that this has more power than my old 300ex had.

Just got back from Pismo and tested my daughters new z250 and was amazed of the power and ease for me to do wheelies!! I did some climbing in the dunes but not too steep cuz I didnt have paddles. I sure do like this automatic and the way it climbs is awesome! I bet if I had some paddles on that I could have climbed any hill out there. It sure does keep the rpms up there when you need them and thats what I like too.

 

Just purchased 2 2004 LT-Z250's, both white. Taking receipt of them today (6-6-2003), hope to take them up to PA next weekend for a good weekend break in and test run. I haven't been able to find any hop-up parts for this bike yet, so any help or direction to obtain some would be nice. I'll have a nice detailed review by June 16th on how well this thing performs out-of-the-box.
