I just bought my first bik dirt bike and its a 2001 CR250, ihear it is a tough bike to learn to ride on but once good enough i will be glad i chose this bike.

my question when i get it is what should i check over first/replace first, and what will make it easiset to learn to ride

any help or sites where i can purcahse replacement/aftermarkt parts let me know

thanks

 

me personally, this is how i set up my bikes for freestyle, bars and triple clamps (pro taper or tag....oversized), pipe&silencer (any brand is good), suspension set with stiffer springs, oversized foot pegs, skid plate, cut seat, cut fenders

 

So Renthal bars arent really taht good compared. i was pricing out and TAG bars were twice as much as renthals? it hought renthals were king ****, lol!

but that is a relatively easy set up for freestyle. not much involved, i guess once the bike is in hand its all good fromthere, thanks for the help

 

renthals are trash endoed once adn broek the bitch so i figure give them another chance got another set, cased a 80ft double and bent them, i didnt even crash they just bent, i got 909 now and they seem to be fine if they mess up goin goin tag fat bars with big clamps though

 

I have the tag fat bars and they are awesome. I've had some narly wrecks with em but haven't bent them yet.

Have you hace much experience with 2-stroke dirt bikes?

Keep the air filter clean. Clean it like every 3 rides or so unless it's really dusty. Change the gear box oil about every six rides. And when you choose your oil to mix with your gas pick one and stick with it. I've heard of problems where different oils don't mix well with others. Other then that get out there and have fun. i have an 01' 250 also. they are a blast fast as $#*!.

 

are you just learning to ride or learning to ride freestyle

 

If it your first bike you may have benifited from learning on a 125. O well. Just ride it in the powerband, lots of people I know dont do that and its funny to watch them ride

 

Powerband ride, good tip. thanks

um i am learning to ride motocross, i have ridden street bikes and a little dirt but not much. but i was curious on setups for freestyle and such as well.
like if i need to raplace bars i want somethign GOOD. and tag seems to be the choice so far?

 

Yea, anything crossbarless and over 60$ seams good to me. I would also sudgest the new renthral fat bar. You will wan to stiffen up suspension.

 

yeah im rockin the renthal fat bars and i love em,tossed the bike bout 20 times with em on there and they are still straight as an arrow
