Stock horsepower? average power modded?

[07250ex]

hey guys im wondering how many ponies a stock one has and how much hp is in a one set up with a nice pipe and filter

[deathman53]

mid 40's, a 295 kit will make 50's.

[07250ex]

stock is mid 40's? jeesh that seems awful high but i think 2 strokes have very high hp ratings for the amount of power thats acctully being generated

[woodsracer144]

no wounder they like the gas! my bro always said in order to have the power your gonna have to pump out the gas! amd its true!

[pimpt250r]

he has a 07250ex atleast thats what Im thinkin,and that maybe like 18hp

[woodsracer144]

mabie he was lookin in to one by him?

yeah i got a 250ex ... lol i wish we had 18 ponies try like 14 lol ... but yeah im wondering how fast the 250r's are are they faster than a 400ex or z400?

[woodsracer144]

yeah, all its take is money to make it the fastest!

stock HP is about 32-34 on a stock 250r....a nice piped and filtered R should be around 38 or so....definatly not 40+ stock

[cdrookie]

a STOCK 250r is about the same STOCK 400ex in the power department.

[pimpt250r]

R's are faster than z400,400ex,kfx400, those are more comparable to a blaster,,
an R is in a league all its own

[beobe99]

guess you never ridin a ltz,ex,kfx 400.. they deff arnt in the same class as a blaster.. A 250r is comparable to a 400cc 4 stroke stock on stock.. the R might feel faster but its about a tie.

400ex or a 250r its just a matter of what power delivery you prefer, what kind of riding you do etc. the earlier year 400ex compare in price of the 250r now so it makes the decision harder i know.

I got R cause the sht's just straight up gangsta hehe!

I had a lt250r quadracer ,,and the day i got it a kid had a 400ex bored .20 over and i walked on him like it wasnt even funny,
and the only 4 stroke to be faster than my R so far was the yzf 450 and its only happened twice

a 200cc 2 stoke is the equivalant of a 400cc4 stroke

[csr250r]

IF u can find a stock R, then if the rider on the R can pull his thumb outa his @$$ then the R should win...but it is deff closer than most think. My old blaster walked on 400ex's i think it was bout 250ccs tho.

[Scott-300ex]

Stock 250r HP is 38.

250r's will kill 400's.

Stock for stock I say 250r and 450's, mod the 250r and you'll win.

[blasterandy]

I dunno, it would be a race worth watching. Now as for componets (i.e. suspension) They 400ex is prolly better. Technology is a Bi*ch. I have seen quite a few 250r's none stock so when you do happen to come across this dream race, tell me and take some pictures. Not only is a stock 250 rare they ought going to be ridden very much. (Collectors item)
I say 250r will win in any race with the right rider, and power wise i see about 26-28 coming out of a 400ex, and 35-37 out of the 250r. They are race machines, thats what they were built for. Hence the 2-stroke liquid cooled, wide low stance... lower than the 400, and longer swingarm. It was top of the line back in its day, and still would be a very high quality atv. Dual disk breaks in the front single rear. Remote res. rear shock, this was hondas yfz450, and in my opinion still should be. Does anyone know why honda stopped making it. Is there any real reason behind it, other than they 3 wheeler market getting run into the ground by rampaging lawers out to make a buck. I mean if it sold so good, it was top of the line, it out performed any of the competition, its like say yamahas yfz was the clear champion of racing, then they stoped making it 2008 being the last year and they don't make another racing 450 atv. It just doesn't make any sense, where people getting howled upon by the epa, back then...???? or what.
Sorry for being so off subject but seriously, its a good topic.

ITS A GIANT CONSPIRICY THEORY MAN!!:cool:


Yea it dont make too much sence... i mean look at all the "16 & up warnings" on the atvs now days, the factories have watched their tails from day 1, which u cant blame them. If everytime someone felt like suing a factory because of injuries im pretty sure that streetbikes wouldnt exsist,

good thought.

[woodsracer144]

that pisses me off! the 16 and up, its so dumb beause you can thow a 12 year old on a bran new 1000 sled and go 100+ down a wooded trail but you can ride a wheeler biggerthat 90cc if your under 12, and they dont have age limits for bikes, you can be 10 and be on a cr500,

[deathman53]

its all lawyers, they make big charges out of nothing. Look at the lwsuits against mcdonalds over people spilling hot coffee on themselves. What about the parents that suied mcdonalds over ow there kids got FAT eating their food breakfast, lunch and diner. Both these cases won also!!!!! The atv manufactorers are getting suits all the time, people getting hurt riding double, triple and 4 to a quad. That is the reasoning for the under 16 stickers and all the warnings on the bikes. We are moving targets for lawyers and untill somethng gets done to stop these ridicualcas lawsuits, it isn't gonna change.

Where I ride, there are 10 yr olds who ride adult sized 600+ utility quads, yuppies riding 450r's and having to change their underwear after a 3rd gear run. The atv market is a big target, it looks so easy to ride, its like sitting on a comforatable seat, pushing the throttle with your thumb and turning the handle bars when you are gonna turn. But thats not how good riders can even think of riding them, better than half the time we are off the seat, standing up, cat stance or similar. We lean our whole bodies into the turn on the inside and we slide out the rear tires over turning the bars alot. Since lawyers saw the people getting hurt on 3 wheelers(mostly due to rider fault also), they went nuts. I question, if quads are so much safer, how come in 87/88 the injuries and lawsuits topped all the years that trikes were made?????

The reason why honda stopped making the 250r was because of the dying market and upcomimg epa stuff. In 89, trx250r's were sitting on the showroom floor for years untill they were sold. Suzuki stopped the lt500 in 90 and 250 in 92, kawasaki stopped the tecate 4 in 88. Honda even stopped the trx250x for 2 years in the late 80's, early 90's.

The reason why none of this happened on dirtbikes is because they don't look easy to ride and yuppie friendly. A twist throttle takes some control to use and anybody who rides a dirtbike drops it a few times and alot in the beginning. Notice that kawasaki tecates had twist throttles on them?? Might this have been to keep inexpeirenced riders off their bikes???? I have twist throttles on all my atv's and far less people even question to ride it, twists take more controll to use.

[woodsracer144]

twist are harder in some spots but it depends on the power of the bike... like i rode a friends ttr125 and i was havein that thing pinned all the time... then i rode a guys yz250, it kicked my @ss the whole time, the throttle was soo touchy, you bairly turned it and it was pinned wide open and i would shift and the power bann would kick in and i would be rideing a wheelie up a hill...

i think for the respect of the first poster we should move all this over to the open fourm...

[blasterandy]

Agreed. :D Sorry.

If I remember correctly a bone stock 1988-89 250R was rated at 29 H.P. (not 38 that a stock Banshee) and they were 2 H.P. more than the 1986-87 because of port and ignition timing changes.

[Scott-300ex]

They stopped makin them cuz everyone thought they would get on the 2-stroke 250's, think they'd mess around on it, get on it, didn't know they were fast as F**k and get hurt, "Oh, stupid Honda, made the bike to fast and didn't let me know, I'm suing them."

I cannot tell you how much I hate absolutley HATE these kinds of people.

Making the production of the 250r lt250r Tecate-4 stop.

At Flat river, which was an old lead mine, it was like 5x5 miles, now there are towns and interstates runnin threw it so it really shrunk in size, no more sand/mud holes, like there were and no more HUGE sand hills, that you would think it was the dunes, and you can't take trucks up in the trails anymore but anyway......................... There was this hillclimb, rock/chat hills and a sand hillclimb back there to, some some @ss got lead poisoning, so wut does he do? Sues Mossouri State park and gets that section closed off, So they had to close off the hillclimb and the 2 mile ride there off, prolly closed off a 5th of the park, I was PISSED.

People today gettin sue happy so they don't have to work and shut down everyone elses fun, I HATE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
