Sounds like a good deal to me.:w00t: Now let's get a ride report on it.:lol:

[coleaclark]

well i havent rode it yet but it runs great nothing is broken everything works well when i first started it it smoked alot then after it was warmed up it stopped but i do have a question how are the shocks suppose to feel like is it spongy or bouncy?

[dirtface]

A 2-stroke will smoke alot more than a 4-stroke, if you haven't owned or been around a 2-stroke. If I had to pick between spongy or bouncy, I would definately pick spongy.

[Lukeatc185]

id say spongy when u sit down, bouncy when u hit a big bump:P but its a 250r there 2 stroke there always going to smoke a considerable amount.

dude thats just bad info right there!!! just because its a 2 stroke doesn't mean its going to smoke alot..... with the right oil ratios and careful cleaning of the silencer packing,,, it will hardly smoke at all,,,,,, so do your homework and ask alot of questions,,,,,, you might get some right answers!!!

[coleaclark]

ok first of all im new to 2 stroke what is the oil ratio on a 85 250r?

It says 20:1 on the sticker by the gas tank, but I do 32 to 1 yamalube 2cycle.

[Lukeatc185]

well before you jump on me pall, 4 strokes are alot more common, and a 2 stroke puts out as much smoke as a hard ran 4 stroke... so yea if hes comparing most common exaust smoke that u see by todays standards a 250r would probably look like its pushin alot of smoke..

After a couple of months of ownership, I am starting to wonder if the 250R is not only the best TRIKE ever, but the best ATV ever. It is more fun than anything you can buy today.
