    that'll work, but might be a little messy if you over oil it.

    A good bike to start on would be a CR125R 2-stroke.:D That was the bike I had to learn on.. It got old really quick... Only weighing 125lbs I could haul butt! I sold the bike a few months ago. I think the next bike I will get will either be a 250 2-stroke or a 450 4-stroke.

    I will get an hour meter before I ride it again. I have only ridden it twice and probably about 20 minutes each time. For a top end I've heard different things about Wiseco?

    psh, I ran a ball hone through the cylinder a few times and slapped it back together. I am amazed that thing didn't blow in the first harescramble with the new piston, there was a 1/4 mile long, extremely steep deep sand hill on which I had the bike pinned in 3rd gear for about 45 seconds straight lol. It was blowing coolant out of every orifice at the top but it kept on going! (past all the overheated dead 4 strokes)

    its great because if it blows, 300 bucks and you have a new bike (assuming most parts are still good.)

    exactly what happen to me.. bought the bike used and cracked the ring on the piston (about 20 hours later, no idea how many were before) and ended up taking a chunk out of the cylinder... 350 dollars later i had a pretty much new bike.

    I used to think 2 strokes were kind of at a disadvantage in some ways until I bought my 250sx. That thing pulled harder off the bottom then my bro's 2010 yz450f. He even agreed lol. I want that engine in his frame...
