XC setup quad pics!

[yellow400ex05]

Post the pics of your XC racing quads!

I also want to know what district I would be racing a 250ex in and how old I would have to be. And do you have to have nerf bars when racing in XC? and what quad would I race against?

[Sjorge450R]

if you are racing XC I would race district 6. I will be starting racing my 300 this weekend up at the dutchmen. You can be 15 and race. You will be racing against blasters 250z's 250ex's 300ex's mojoves and all other quads that aere 91-200 2 stroke or 91-300 4 stroke. I dont think that you need nerfs

[RaptorRacer45]

I Raced in District 6 most of this Year but im currently down in NC for school, i might try and make 1-2 next year but im busy down here so i dont know. Anyway heres my Raptor that was run all year:D

[Hondadudeehhhh]

i have some advice for you. you will be racing quads that handle a lot better than your's and are a lot faster. If i were you i would try to sell that 250ex of your's and go buy a nice 300ex. Used 250ex's and 300ex's go for about the same price so go for a little bit older 300ex with a couple mods.

My 2 cents

[yellow400ex05]

First off a stock 250ex is not that slow compared to a stock 300ex, but if you give a 250ex with the engine mods in my sig it will keep up with a jetted and piped 300ex, And I know for a fact.

And a 250ex would do better than most 300ex with a 250ex has better and more powerful mods on it bc it has more ground clearence for XC and it doesn't stall and its built well like a 300ex. And neither is it nearly as cold natured as a 300ex, btw I don't mean what I said by 300ex being very cold natured just a 250ex isn't hard to start at all and its is just slightly better for XC if you look at similarity and differences. JMO and it matters on the rider not the power. And btw in XC you won't really have to worry about top speed in XC bc you will be going on tight trails anyway.

It also matters about the gearing on the two quads. If a stock 250ex had honda civic tires on it it would beat most modified 300ex's out there in top speed because it will go like 70 or 80 MPH and a stock 300ex with the biggest gearing you can get it can beat any modified 250ex. Not that you would really want to put Honda Civic tires on a 250ex,lol.

PLEASE show me a 250ex that will go 70-80 mph!!!!!!!!

[DH400EX]

well id hate to ruin your thread but the truth of the matter is the 250ex wont go 70mph with civic tires, it would blow up before you got to that speed. Also, i realize what xc racing is and you wont be hitting top speeds all the time, but do you think a 250ex is faster off the line than a 300ex or blaster? I dont mean to rip on you or your quad but you will only be able to keep up witht he crap 300ex/blaster riders for so long. Im just making a suggestion that would work in your bennefit. I guerentee by the time spring comes and you've wasted all that money on your 250 you would have wished you got a 300ex. You could be riding a 300ex until you are 15. Do what ever you want but i am telling you what many other will tell you, the 300ex is a better quad in every aspect. But if you can keep up with the 300ex riders, more power to you but that 300cc/200c c class is not limited to amount of mods.

[yellow400ex05]

I have beaten two piped 300ex's off the line and there are no other 300ex's that ride aorund me. I beat a piped 300ex and I'm a better rider than the two.

[trx400exxracer]

get a 1999-2002 nicley modded blaster watch though there are a lot of mx blasters out there though

the blaster is a nice and cheap sport level xc quad

[yellow400ex05]

OMG!!! It depends on rider skill, and like I said I am a better rider than both. I beat them off of the start! I only beat one of the piped 300ex's because they had the POS Cobra pipe on it. The other 300ex beat me by a quad lenght.

So if a 250 can go 70 i guess that means my 450 will go 170?

[Matt37]

a 250ex will not beat a 300ex period.

My little brother has a recon and the ex and recon are the same exact thing.

And the recon is a turd.

Stop picking on him. Let him learn through experience. If he is like most people he probaly cant just get rid of his 250EX. Here is a pic of my 450R that I race XC with, and you do not have to have nerfbars. Some places require a kill switch though.

[dopeyferree]

Here is a picture of my XC YFZ. Basically you can use a close to stock atv. Good wheels and tires, skidplates, bumpers. Maybe a pipe, good handlebars and if money is okay work on suspension.

Oh good lord, this has to be the funniest thing ever. You have got to be kidding me.. Your 250EX must have like 8 250 motors on it to run 70.. Pretty slow quad if you ask me.. Great beginner bike.. Honda civic tires... How come it can't be neon tires? They make it lose 10 miles an hour? I bet if they were slicks, and you had your oil changed, and the psi in your tires right, you would have around 160 horsepower and run low 7's in the quarter mile.

[jdwxv3]

I have the 3-2 offset fronts for now. I am going to get 4-1 offset when I get my houser plus 1" A-arms. I have Axis Front Shocks comp and compression adjust. My rear end is an 1 1/4" Houser Swing arm with houser long travel linkage and a 17" Axis Shock. Works Great had my first race yesterday with this set up and in my 2 45 min motos I took first and first for first overall in the A class.


And for the guys rippin on this guy for saying his 250 is faster than a 300ex I bet he means he can make it go faster in the woods than most people in his class can make a 300ex go. All he has to do is beat them in the woods and hold them off in the straits. I have seen lots of underpowered quads with better riders beat fully moded quads. In fact I see it happen at least once a race.

[Sjorge450R]

I just raced my first race on my 300 and got 7 of 16 and there were two 250ex's in front that had very good riders on them. Its not always who has the faster quad, its all about the rider.

I could beat my dad around a little track because he does not know how to jump to well. Especially in XC, it is all about the rider. In a very muddy race the 250 would have a huge advantage because of ground clearence.

What if the 250 had a that powroll kit? I wouldn't have much less power than a 300.
What if the 250 had new a-arms and shocks, it would handle as good as the 300.

My point is that if you had two skilled riders on each machine, in XC atleast, the 250 would not be that far behind, now if you had a bad rider on the 300 and a good rider on the 250, the 250 would most of the time win depending on the course.
If he wants to race let him.




Though there is one thing I do not agree with, with a 250, it would not be able to pull 5th gear with civic tires.:eek2:

I agree with the kid and beleive the 250ex would be a great XC quad! :blah: And no, I don't have a 250ex anymore I have a 300ex and the shee pictured above. I am a million times faster on my 300, but then again I've gained so much experience it's unbeleivable since I've had the 250. I've learned it's not what, you ride, its how you ride it. ;) Not to go off exxagerating or bragging, but as an example of a rider making a quad fast I usually end up waiting on my buddy who rides a fully modded c-dale blaze and I'm about 85% speed of another friend I have ridden with for years and races 4 stroke B on a YZ250F.

[Ripitupfilms]

we all know 250exs are super fast everyone races them they bet 450's all the time and do 60foot doubles ....

[Ripitupfilms]

heres you post you made saying how fast a 250ex will go dumb posts are gay (http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?threadid=144191)

[clutt225]

I have beat 450's on my 400ex that was stock with a pipe and jet kit. Last season I also chased a stock 300 ex all dam season. He was just flat out a faster rider. So that said on a track be it mx xc or tt rider has more influence than power. But in xc the auto clutch of the 250ex will help but the power of the 300 would also help. It is not the power it's how and when and if you can use it.
