upgrades

[rev-man]

i have a 2007 250ex with a dg xcellerator exhaust i have 300 dollars to upgrade my 250(im 14) what is your recommedations for upgrades

[klutchbuster250]

tires and shock u cant go any faster if u dont got good shock trust me i made the mistake of dumping alot of money into this bike and not buing shocks

[ryanh250ex]

The Performance FAQ is there for a reason, READ IT

[rev-man]

it just tells you what to do after you buy the performance parts

can you guys just recommend some stuff plz

[Honda10]

well i have to agree, go with suspention, maybe a raptor rear shock, then some tires.

[tedwilley]

IMO,
1.Get some decent tires first. That'll just about use up your $300. They will give you a new outlook on handling.
2. Bolt ons like exhaust, filters, and jetting are the next least expensive to tires.
3. Upgrade the suspension if you can, but it will cost you more than three bills, however you go about it.

thanks i traded my stock exhaust for the DG and im going to stick with the stock fronts put but Holeshot H-D on the rear
going to get a raptor rear shock but my front shocks bottom out when im racing what should i do about them?

[klutchbuster250]

the only thing u can do is buy elka or works aftermarket or get the shock relocater kit and put 400 ex shocks on it

[tedwilley]

Yeah, those are the only choices I know of. I haven't bottomed out since putting the 400ex front shocks on and I running about an inch lower in front too.

personally i would have lost that DG exhaust and goton the HMF full system, its much better. Nerf bars are always great, the look better, feel more confortable, and they can save you. K&N airfilter and open air box lid really lets it breathe better and more performance. Just remember to rejet it. I would sell the DG and then use the money from that and the $300 for an HMF full sytem, K&N airfilter, then depending on how much money you get for your exhaust get nerf bars. Most are around $100

[rev-man]

well im on a limited budget so i will get a hmf in the future bcuz i no that DG exhaust sucks i traded my stock exhaust for it so it was a good deal.

[tedwilley]

I agree, nerfs are a wise investment. I bought the Tusks from RMATV.
We had club member who didn't have nerfs, get pulled off his quad during an mx race last week. He had moderate leg injuries, but also damaged his quad after it dragged and rolled over him!

Do I need to quote the FAQ to prove you wrong? :rolleyes:

Go get some nerfs and a jet kit. and an Air filter.

[tedwilley]

Ryan,

The FAQs are a wealth of information, I appreciate the effort.
But, is there a way to delete all of the off topic BS that went on about dumping used oil and gas, ect?
It might make it easier for some of the 'young uns' to read, knowing that only pertinent info is in the FAQs.

[rev-man]

ya and truely that FAQ deal is not all true

[Honda10]

if i were u i would get razor tires, and for the front suspention i would widend with diamond j customs and get the 400ex shocks. Or if that is too much money just get converstion kit and 400ex shocks. I also strongly suggest to sell ur dg exhust. for that money you could probly get an air filter and jet kit.

[klutchbuster250]

yea im not trying to brag but i had/have on of the fastest best overall 250s in miami cape coral area and everything that faq said was not true well atleas more then 50 percent of it was wrong i never paid atention to it :ermm:

If it's not true, send me a PM telling me specifically what isnt "all true" and if I find that it is inaccurate or untrue, I'll change it. Until then, it's staying the way it is.

TedWilley,
Check your pm's.

I disagree, why not upgrade a 250? I think what you should have said is "i would upgrade a 250, its a beast!"

[klutchbuster250]

year right if i said that i would have lied to ya.

[BlasterEaten250]

My advice to you is not to get holeshot hd's. Those tires are HEAVY, it would really slow it down, and they will probably grip way to much, espcecially when you want to powerslide. Not to mention they are really expensive. If were you I would get the regular razr's. I had them on my old 250 and they were great. Plus they are a lot easier on your wallet.

[250exkid]

get wuts in my mod sig,,,,, i sold my 250 but thats wut i put in itthats wut u should and for tires get Maxxis All traks better then stock not as good as razor 2s maby but at 56.99 a rear tires a 22-11x9 i wouldnt complain
