Nice ride man!!!

[@colechristensen25]

Were you on your 250 or 450?

[@connorblakely621x]

@@colechristensen25I raced the 250. The course is brutal enough, I don’t wanna get my arms ripped off at the same time, on the 450.

Nice job this weekend. This course destroyed me.

[@connorblakely621x]

Thanks, same here

@@connorblakely621x was going to ask your opinion on the FX, I am thinking of getting the 450 here this summer maybe or spring. Thanks

@@RideWithJosh696 I love the 250fx and the 450fx. I think that they serve two different purposes though. I like the 250 better for racing and the 450 for play riding. The main thing that I like about these bikes is that the suspension is so good stock, compared to ktms and Hondas that I have experience with. The 450 has really exciting power and feels very lightweight, because it revs up so quick. But the problem I have with racing it is that the bike always wants to go faster and it’s hard to slow it down to conserve energy and when you are tired it’s hard to hang on to because it has so much torque. With that said, I think it’s better than my old 2019 ktm 300 xc, in every way. If you want to try it out for yourself, hit me up to go ride.

How’s the reliability been on the 250FX with the racing hours?

[@connorblakely621x]

@@cannonsmith7429 It’s been pretty good. I’ve got right around 125 hours on it right now. The fork seals failed at 52 hours and the linkage seized up at 103 hours ( I spent a lot of time riding in snow and mud), and right now I’m getting ready to service the rear shock, it’s not leaking but it’s not feeling quite right. I did have a catastrophic engine failure at 48 hours, but it’s one hundred percent my fault, I can’t blame the bike. Lesson learned. I also did chain and sprockets at sometime but didn’t keep track of it. It definitely has been pretty solid, considering the abuse I have put it through.
