Does the 250c class mean 250cc four strokes and 250cc two strokes? I have a 250cc two stroke. If I wanted to race c class at three palms would I have to do 450c class?
@James_Cook_62 ай бұрын
Hey sorry for replying late. It’s been a while since I’ve even touched a bike, but I believe the 250 class is both 2 & 4 strokes. But definitely call 3P before you show up, just to make sure

Hey so I forgot to mention, last time I went to the track I moved my gear shifter and it helped out tremendously. Just go to you garage or barn or what have you and just move it up a notch at a time, and just practice shifting on the stand. That’s what I did and i realized I had it way to low. Also don’t move it to high to where it rubs against your chain when shifting up. I totally didn’t figure that out the hard way lol.

Yeah you can ride your Klx, you can ride almost anything at 3 Palms. I would call them and ask them if you planned on brining something other than a bike or quad tho. As far as racing goes, yeah you could probably race it. Just ask the staff at the race what you should enter in and tell them the size of the bike. The next SNl race at 3 Palms is December 18th. If you need any help with anything let me know.

I’m on a 2017 Yahama Yz250f with some power upgrades. And It’s really cool if he wants to race, the biggest thing I tell anyone wanting to get into racing is that they need to have really good body position/attack position before they race. Because that allows them to ride/race as safely as possible. (it also gives them a fighting chance so they’re first race won’t go as bad. So it minimizes the chances of them getting turned off from the sport.) I’ve checked out Jackson’s videos and I’m not trying to be a dick, but he needs some work. Go check out the Mx factory’s channel on KZbin. They make excellent videos teaching people how to ride safely. I even linked there attack position video below, I would watch that first and work on him with that. That really helped me out a ton when I started out. I would also check out Aj catanzro, & Grant Taylor’s KZbin channels to. They are amazing riders doing the same thing, they’ll be linked to. I even made a playlist titled Motocross drills which I’ve followed to help make me a better rider, check that out as well. It’s on my channel in my playlist section. The Mx factory’s attack position 👇🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4C5oGtvpsSqqKs Aj Catanzaro’s channel kzbin.info Grant Taylor’s channel kzbin.info/door/FpP08F1rykUugDFAJZdRMw Ps. Don’t be to edgier to get him racing. There will always be a race right around the corner. Don’t jump in head first and have his first race a disaster like mine was. I almost quit, but I stuck with it because I didn’t want to disappoint my dad lol. But thank god that I stuck with it because I’m in love with it now, it’s really the only thing I do. Just take it easy and slow, and I’m always here if y’all ever need anything.
