This guy at work has a 2008 wr250x with full yosi pipe, lowering kit(+stock), kn filter, power commander, sliders, pants, jacket, gloves, helmet and other crap I’m forgetting. Around 2k miles and have him talked down to $3000 already lol… I hate to take apart an almost new motor so I’ll probably slap a turbo on it for a bit. ---

> [@KuntryQuestTSi](#): > > What’s gearing like. If your at 70 what’s your rpm going to run? > > Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Rough estimate 5th gear 8100 rpm@ 70mph 6th gear 5000ish rpm@ 70mph Little over 11,000 rpm redline, top speed just over 90mph. If I could get to 50whp I should be able to add a tooth to the front and maybe take off a couple on the back to get closer to 4000rpm @70mph. - - - Updated - - - It’s supposed to have pretty tight gearing 1st-4th with 5th and 6th being overdrive gears. Once I ride it and get the feel for it I’ll make changes, but chain and sprockets are cheap. I don’t want to jump on it hard to bring it up 1st-3rd though and it should have smooth power with the turbo. ---

With the mfab turbo kit its about 110 mph stock gearing @ 45whp. The more research I do makes me want the mfab kit, it will put out 55whp without doing any fuel mods. It comes with tuning software, base tune and 3 hours to install. $1800! One guy has 11,000 miles with the kit on stock motor. I won’t be able to build one that cheap… - - - Updated - - - I’m still keeping my options open if I come across a nice 450 SM. ---

This thread has almost 400 views, anyone else have a SM or bike that rides the twisties? I don’t do the 170mph thru way runs, but I’m down for country/back roads if anyone wants to ride this year. Kuntryquest get another SM… Spam16 do you still have a bike and how’s that trailer working out? ---

Shrug. I’m eyeing an SV650 or a HD for this season. I feel like commuting a SM would be rough. ---

Rough? It was rough riding from exit 48a to letchworth state park and back when it was 90 out. Other than that, it’s like a room full of kids with downs, fun Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk ---
