    Not really, the diffs are in the same place as before. so the only thing that gives real ground clearance is larger tires.

    Steep downhills are tough to control. Years ago I was coming down a single track trail, super steep, slippery, and was locking up every time I touched the brakes. Hit a flat transition (what felt like straight downhill to a flat 90 degree right) front tire hit the flat and I went right over the bars :rofl: good times

    Hey Alex, I'm heading out in about an hour, got a late start, needed to change the front bib and tire on the YZ250 just in case I decide to race in 250 class instead of open on the 450.

    Lemme know if your still coming out, not sure how cell reception is out there.

    Well I got a bad start and was in the back 1/3 of the pack, was making my way toward the front and when I was in about 4th place OA my Timing chain slipped a tooth and bike stalled wouldnt restart, and it was only 15 miles into a 100mi race!
    So is what it is, just a mechanical. I heard the chain slapping when I started it earlier in the week, but had a full plate of work to do on customers trucks, and thought it would make it though the race! So much for thinking!

    Thanks, I was trying my best impression of a fast guy, had a few people fooled, haha. But I'll take a mechanical over an injury any day. I knew that my timing chain had a lot of hard hours and I neglected to replace it within a reasonable amount of use so it was totally avoidable and my own fault, damn kids! :oops:
