Hey Pete! Love the videos, especially since I'm located in PA as well, and was also in the same boat... wanting to do woods/single track riding, but consider myself a novice... whats your thoughts on the 250FX today compared to your video regarding if it was the right back for you? I am stuck between wanting a 250fx or a ktm 300 xcw... they are both awesome bikes.

Hey what part PA you from...originally I am from Western Pa. To answer your question (just keep in mind this was my first dirtbike so I have nothing else to compare it to.) I was skeptical when I first bought the bike. The throttle was so touchy till I got used to it, and I found that with this bike if you can control the throttle and clutch...you will enjoy this bike. I did NOT do a "throttle tamer" or nothing. I just told myself...."learn the bike how it was bought"... and that is what I did. I never installed a flywheel weight or nothing. The bike is stock as it was in 2022 when I bought it. The mapping is awesome...in the beginning I was running what I call "detuned" maps when learning singletrack, but now I run some aggressive maps on singletrack just messing around. I found the mapping was key when I was first learning to ride this bike. I just got worried when I bought it because I honestly didn't know how to ride it and felt like it was to much bike for the trails I was riding. But like anything there is a learning curve and I had the full spectrum of that curve. I can honestly tell you....I don't ever see me selling this bike. I bought a YZ 250 two stroke and I keep it in the garage.....I would rather ride the FX. The suspension once it broke in....I kept adjusting and now have found great settings for Rocks and Tree/Log crossings and am very happy with it. It took time...but I love this bike and my opinion will vary from a more experienced rider who has alot more experiences on other bikes...they may tell you different. I can only say from my experience and I thought I wanted to try a 2 stroke so I bought a used one that needed work......and I will keep working on learning to ride it...but with the FX you twist the throttle and the power is there.....I can't get used to the two stroke loading the flywheel and revving it out after being on a four stroke. It is a new thing to learn....but I always find myself back to the FX.....and now I find I am repeating myself...so I will just say I have NO regrets on buying the FX, am very pleased with this purchase and it Definitely the right bike for me in the end. Whatever you choose to purchase...give yourself time to learn the bike....and only tip I can give you that was a game changer believe it or not...was TIRES.....they made so much a difference riding in the woods. The stock Dunlops had me tentative and hesitant when approaching log/rocks gardens on trail......cause to many slips and loss traction. Tires are a game changer. Let me know what you buy when you do purchase a bike, best of luck. If you have any other questions, just ask I will answer what I can.

Are you running heavy duty tubes, Tubliss or mousse bibs?

Yes heavy duty tubes.....want to try the Tubliss but haven't ordered then yet. I change my own tires so don't think I will do mousse bibs just cause they appear to be harder to change tires.
