[QUOTE="93YZproject, post: 1339393, member: 80239"] Please excuse my ignorance in some of these questions. I have been searching for new motor bikes for my 16 year old sons to upgrade to. a very available model around here(SW PA) seems to be the CRF250R. I have done some research on these machines(mostly here at dirtrider) and they seem to require a lot of maintenance. Which is fine, but my concern is do you think this model is to much for someone of our mechanical IQ to handle? My oldest son has a 2002 YZ125 and I have done a couple of piston ring and piston changes, brake pads. clutch adjust, exhaust pipe change, radiator service and other small stuff along with the same things on a smaller '93 YZ80. The part that worries me is the adjustments and replacements on the valves in these 4 strokes. Riding is trail and woods only. No racing. I don't really consider myself a mechanic and only have basic tools. I bought my sons smaller bikes years ago as a means to teach them some kind of mechanics and something fun to do, but it's turned into a real addiction for us and we all seem to need a little more now(bigger and faster). is this a good choice or should I be looking at a different model, brand, Size, or maybe 2 stroke?? If I buy a service manual will I(we) be able to keep these bikes running with our mechanical aptitude?? Thanx in advance for any input. [/QUOTE]
