Looking for Riding group/buddies

[BrokenR1]

Picked a used 98 YZ250 almost two weeks ago. Looking for someone to ride with though as it's just more fun and safer. Went out to northern part of rampart range road and luckily was advised I needed a spark arrestor so I left before I had problems with a ranger catching me. I live in Southern Colorado Springs and don't really know of anywhere else here to ride yet. Should have that spark arrestor by the end of the week though and already registered the OHV thing. Anyone wanna hook up and ride with a Dirt newbie?

Alrighty then, check me if I am wrong, the YZ250 is all stock including gearing, and this is your first dirt bike?

If this is accurate I wish you luck :lol:
Is it jetted for altitude or city? You will probably want to look into a weighted flywheel for that beast and drop your counter sprocket -1.
If you are really familiar with riding a 2 stroke MXer you might be able to fore-go these mods for awhile, but you will find it to be a handful on the technical stuff. Keep looking in this forum and there will be some rides but as this is predominately sportbike forum you will have better luck on Thumper Talk in the Rocky Mnt. Region.

I am headed to Utah for a Supermoto Race this weekend but possibly next weekend. Can you ride during the week? Much better at Rampart to avoid weekends 'till late season.

Every Saturday and Sunday 470 and Morrison Rd. The Conoco off the exit. It starts at 9 am and they leave about 10am. There is usually 20 - 30 bikes there.

First Dirt Bike, only other time on one was around 11 or 12 years old I think I rode one like 3 times. Yep looks pretty stock, even apparently has the original tires :crazy:. I think it's jetted for city since this is where the previous owner had been riding it but not sure. I had been looking for a used 450f or maybe 250f but didn't mind a 250. Friends recommended these for me. The four strokes may make good trail bikes but this will let me play around more I think. For now I plan on leaving it stock except possibly putting a bigger tank on it. I found this site by searching for colorado riders so I'll check out thumpertalk also. I may take a day off from work sometime and try going up there during the week.

I'll get another streetbike here in a year or two. Went out a couple weeks ago and followed some guys while in the cage, probably do it again next weekend.

.... The four strokes may make good trail bikes but this will let me play around more I think. For now .

Umm, do you know what most of the Pro's are racing these days? Yup, 4-strokes. 250F's and 450F's are the new crack on the streets. What kind of playing were you planning on doing that a 4 stroke wouldn't suffice?:confused: I have owned 2 strokes in the past, and I think they are great, but compared to the new 4 strokes, it's like night and day. Especially when you get to the technical stuff on trails. I ride my YZ450F on the motocross tracks AND up in the mountains. Best of both worlds!

I might make it out there sunday, but doubtful saturday.

As for the 4-strokes I wouldn't mind one but I'm happy with the 2-stroke for now.
