The 2-stroke thread

I'm 6' 250lbs and my friends 5+ year old KX85 has no trouble pulling me around, the suspension doesn't like it but the motor doesn't care.

 

The 500s have a pretty deep tone, if the high pitch bothers you

 

Now this is a good running 2 stroke.

no its the ting ting ting that gets me lol

 

All hope is lost for you then

 

ill stick with my yfz. its got a full bill ballance exhaust. its stupid loud and i can walk 5th sittin on the seat.. its plenty fast for me lol. but I got respect for the dirt bikes. i sure as hell cant ride one.

 

2 stroke is in my near future. I hate my unreliable, poorly designed, old, never wanting to start 4 stroke

 

lol. what a bunch of simpletons

 

Indeed. I rest my case.

lol damn he blew that thing up, if its prior to the 04 model they didnt have a very good oiling system and that was a very common occurrance. and riding the rev limiter dont help.

 

not near as often as 4 strokes. i blew up my 400ex 3 times. first time bored it to a 426, then the second time i went all out and ended up with a 520 sometin after the bore and stroker crank. and it blew up too. now i drive a yamaha.

 

I cracked a piston skirt in my 250 in may, only thing that didnt need replacing was the transmission and cases. total cost to overhaul the entire engine was about 1300$, and that was a shop putting the bottom end together for me. I am willing to bet that NEW kawi cost at least 2000 for a rebuild

 

2k if you do the work yourself.

 

i almost went to a 2 stroke banshee that had been rebuilt after i blew up my 400, but for what i paid for the 07 yfz 450 i got. i couldnt pass it up.

 

Its mostly if it's ridden hard, I can't see anyone who isn't pro even getting close to riding a 700 quad to it's potential. I rode a KX80 for 5 years on the same top end, and I was definitely not easy on it there at the end in the deep sand out here. The piston skirt finally exploded at the top of a hill, Bought a new wiseco for ~80 bucks and she was running again. How the cylinder didn't get destroyed I have no clue.

 

lol i drive mine like i stole it. it is constantly wide open. and I will jump pretty much anything.

 

rev limiter is bad. You can always tell a goon rider by the amount of time he spends on the limiter.

 

weird, never seen that before. I've also never ridden a quad though other than a 400ex or something, can't remember the name.

 

In the middle of a jump try a quick panic rev, that should do the trick

 

Here's my collection of 2-strokes:





Ok, they're not motorcycles, but I still love the 2 stroke engine. These 2 run wide open all the time whenever they're on and never miss a beat. The trimmer is damn near as old as me and has been used commercially for the last 5 years with me. I give it a new plug each season and that is all that I've done, aside from removing the stupid clogged spark arrestor screen. That's it. Whereas my 4 stroke mower engines (also running full throttle all the time) overheat and warp cylinder heads. I really hope the greenies never get enough footing to kill our beloved (yet highly polluting) 2-smokers.
