the air filter was "OK" ..but I did pull it off and there was no change ,maybe even a little worse (fuel starving??? i,ll look at the screen) it will start and run just not in 1 or 2 kicks ... mid range it still runs reasonable thats whats so confusing heat seems to make no difference

OK ....its a "00 rev3 250 I was riding along and it felt kinda boggy ..wouldnt pull clean off the bottom end(this bike has always pulled down low VERY clean) so I tried to clean it out (you know whack it open) thats when I noticed it wouldn't rev out now this bike has not been used that much this year so I figured fresh gas and a new plug would do th trick...noop so the carb must be mucked up ..took it to work and gave it a through cleaning....still no luck broken reed ....nada scored piston and or a stuck ring... negative so what is this mystery disease?? timing? coil? HELPPPPPP this all started out of the blue (IE .no I hadn't been messing with it) not to mention its always been stone reliable thanks troy

Heck if your going to polish it any will do we have used "easy off" but most any will work

I put v force in my '00 250 at first I didn't think it was that drastic of a change but the more I rode it and accustom myself to it the more I noticed . now it will pull confidently from WAY down low (like well below idle) its quite amazing, the bike carbarets(sp) very well and always has but now its just several notches better

Is yours a 2000 because the late models have a different "bolt" in that spot ,it's shorter. This could help in your case or just keep an eye on those seat bolts.

my 2000 with 145main and 27.5 pilot jet and n7yc plug seems to like it between 2.5 and 3 turns out. I do have the idle set slightly high if someone knows more chime in

Hey bagey. hows the OSSA ride (is it brand new?? ) we never got late ones in the us but I do miss my MAR

one side is preload the other is rebound

I recently bought back my '00 250 rev 3......... well to make a long story short I've been going through it.?.!..?..!.... and I've found that the mid pipe has worn a sizeable divot into the gas tank ! Has any one ever worn through the tank? So far I've took a die grinder to the weld on the mid pipe and added some asbestos type muffler tape to the tank. I think this will be sufficient . Just wondering if any one else had this problem

Don't you always put a new valve stem in?

Ps pull the valve core .........trust me this helps

i've probably done 20 + trials rears and god knows how many street tires (more than a thousand) no issue here 'cept for a few stupidly wide race tires just my 2 cents

cant say this would help you now........but........ I keep 2 of everything in my van when I would bend a brake badly I would just swap it then when I get back home, straighten it with fair amount of heat. Been doing this for 5 years or so and only broke one (and I think that was a brand new one!)

and my '00 has been STONE reliable!!!!
