[QUOTE="mechantloup, post: 132778, member: 21702"] [b]250 vs 520[/b] Hi ! Just to add my 2 cents ....I test rode both before buying and ended with a 01 520 e/xc ...i ride about 60% tigth single track 40% fire roads , i weight 200 lbs and am 6'1" (close to your own specs :) ) The 250 was a smooth, torquey,ligth bike ,i really liked it but....The 520 is as smooth ,lots more torquey,almost as ligth feeling ,lots faster on top ( usefull on nice fireroad ... :) bike as a 160kph +top speed ;) ). Maintenance is easy and cost no more than a japanese bike (invest in a pair of stainless steel oil filter ...in 4 year you will save a lot of money) i change oil every 15 hrs (clean the oil and air filters also) and check valve clearance every 30 hrs ( they don't need adjustment very often ..adjusted mine 2 time in 120hrs ) If you want maximum tractabillty you may try a 400 e/xc too.520sx only have a 4 speed and top at 75 mph not fun on open fireroads .As for two vs four stroke in 4 years you will have to rebuilt a 2 stroke ....a well maintained 4 stroke will do 4 years easily ,and you don't have to carry oil ....and the sound well ....no contest!! 4 stroker wins ! :cool: Choose your way and have fun !!!
