Yeah I may well stand up once iv got used to it lol. Only been twice and problems with the bike have over powered it all so far.

ah man, would love to get a yz or something myself for offroad, not really much chance though to be honest :( Can't even go out for a proper ride till i sort out my forks and wheels my bike is just getting uncomfortable lol

Silly me bought a brand new 04 YZ250 just before the frame change in 05, road registered and WR kit fitted from new. Even had a steering lock :) here she is brand new never ever started.

First time she was used in an enduro after being set up and bedded in on the roads, they dont stay shiny for long.........:)

Wow!! Even the sticker is still on the side stand!!

Yeah realised that pretty quick. I bought it being told it was an 02 model. My friend has since bought an 00 model and found it to be 99.

96-01 seem to be very good bikes though. The 02 had 5 gears or somthing.

Its now had a new piston put in, replaced the gear lever and have a full dep system on the way. I already have full dep but the front pipe is dented to the max.

Need to do an oil change still. Going to either golding barns or mill lane on sunday. by the looks of the weather its going to be mill lane.

looks like an 01,due to the white airbox and alloy subframe biggrin when it comes to motox bikes ages,people are a bunch of lying sh1tes lol

awesome range of cheapish spares for 96-01 though,and some good aftermarket stuff. the 98 was legendary (claimed 38 hp)

i've yet to get out on mine this year disbelief

Yeah we've established that Funkey lol. Glad it was on 01 now as the 02-04 had 5 gears and from what ive read werent as good by a long shot.

A friend has since bought a 99 and we're going to look at a 00-01 model tomorrow for another friend.

Struggling to find many options as far as graphics go but as you say, parts are abundant which is useful.

We've booked out Golding Barns Raceway on the 25th this month. 10-4. Which should be good. Then probably going to Mill lane on the wednesday.

Loving it. Just finding it very expensive lol!
