Hey 250sx owners!

[ditchmud]

Shout out to those of you with 250sx experience!

What is your favorite modification that you have done to or have seen done to a 250sx???
We already have an '87. It's my daughters, but now my wife has chosen to also get the same model because she likes my daughters so much. I like to have different stuff so I figured I could upgrade and modify hers to be different. So what's been done?

350X front end makes them look sweet!!

[Liquid-Darkness]

Cobra complete exhaust.. Makes them a little more pepy.

personally I think tires are the best upgrade you can do. everything else is just personal preference. here's mine.
182572182573182574182575182576 22-12-8 bear claws on the back with 1" spacers and a 23-7-10 on the front. fmf silencer from an rm modified to fit, protaper bars and a custom rack.

Agree with 59GMC..

The rim/tire update makes this thing!!

I've done it on a couple of mine..(and my ESs too)

Way simpler than front end swaps..but still get the control improvement.

I agree with the above, the front wheel/tire change combo is sweet.:naughty:
I made the change on my project SX, and once that project is done as a whole, im pretty sure I will make the same change to my original SX. Also, although its much louder, I like the supertrapp pipe on my original SX. I got to ride my poject SX with the stock pipe, and noticed a pretty big difference between the two. My SX with the supertrapp being way more quick in and out of corners.

i CAN'T be the only one that Loves that rack

[tri again]

The ones I have all came with orig? round tires.
I've changed them to flatter profile so they kinda match the roll characteristics
of all the other trikes.
Every one of us rolled the first sx within minutes because we were used to hard tails, big reds etc.
Just a utilitarian preference.

I'm fixing one up for my gf with 23x13.5 Maxxis Rubi's, 2" wheel spacers, front/rear rack, winch, compressor, and the 200x front end conversion. The wider rear with flat profile tires makes it a bit more stable too. The SX's are pretty amazing and don't need too much done to be great machines.

Best thing, would be sell it and buy a 85-87 ES... Anyone want to buy my SX? Thought I could learn to love the SX, but just cant!

[ONEBAD350X]

i had one back in the 90's it was my favorite wheeler.. I had more fun on it than my 350x or 250r. Disc brake front end is the favorite mod.. I could never keep good working brakes on front or back

No kidding Thorpe?? How can you not like the SX?? I probably ride it most of all my machines!

Some people hate free beer and chicken fingers. The world is a crazy place. 59GMC, that rack is awesome.

[King Trikester]

sweet rack 59GMC, nice machine aswell. I like the idea of disc brakes all around, is it possible to do on the rear? ive got an 85

Thanks! glad you like it

On my daughter's we added wheel spacers and a squared off tire. I might have to look into the 350x forks for my wife's. As far as selling them to get a Big Red? I already have one so that's not necessary.
