If you're into trail riding you'll love it. If you're into creeks and water be sure to keep the rear end serviced. :beer

Yep. alot of trails, and soon to be snow. and during summer MUD.. LOTS OF MUD !

I'd like to be able to fit grease fittings on it, anyone got info on that ?

Got Bear Claws on the back and a 6 ply something devil on the front, kinda heavy but keeps the front down wich i like untill i get a good feel for it !

Why would you want grease fittings on an enclosed axel?

becuse the honda axels arent enclosed properly even tho they say they are, they still seem to get mud and water in the axel and brake drum some how lol, ,my friends brakes on his 200m always freez when it gets cold, he didnt know why, took the drum off and there was about 2 inches of mud in there :p

yep, the 250sx are fun i never had one but i test drove one, i think they have better suspention than the 250es big red and they handle alot better and seem to be a little bit more torque than the big red.

I see. I havent had problems yet with stuff getting in the axel but water and mud is getting in one of my drums. I figured if you just replaced the drum seal it would block out that shnit because my others dont have brake drum probs.
