out of curiosity,as a yet-to-own a ex250, what "feels" wrong with the brakes? Is it something that fresh fluid,steel line and adjustable lever could take care of. Ive raced/been on track with really cruddy/scary vintage bikes......like a 1982 gpz750,and little things like that help. I know its never the end-all cure-all,but on the track who needs brakes anyways

OK,Andre and Joe....what are all the classes you guys are running at CCS on 250/300's? I know you have GTUL, Ultralt Thunderbike and 500 supersport. Any other classes,regardless of being competative with the other bikes on grid?Its looking like my 2 buddies are picking up their 250's much faster than I anticipated,leaving me stuck with my cruddy old vtr250 if I ditch the ex500 soon.They are planning on the Summit round in 2 weeks,and want to know all the classes to run in.

^ having talked with andre and another 300 racer about it those are the three to sign up for
The 300 brakes work, they just feel mushy. My 250 brakes were the same way and bleeding them didn't help (though some SS lines may help on the 300, I'll be installing those soon)

Alright,cool. I was hoping for another sprint class,and couldnt figure out what it would have been if there was another.My buddies have jumped on to the 250 ship FAST,and are planning on the Summit round coming up,with their newly acquired 2-fiddy's.So its looking like I will see you guys in 500 SS only,on my ex500. I will be out at the same time as GTUL but in GTL on the FZR.

@Sirref, are you running stock exhaust/headers or a slip on when you race with TPM? I dont see many people using a full exhaust since you cant use a fuel controller.

For those that say 250's can't be competitive with the 300's, last weekend's race proved this isn't the case. This was probably the best race of the season for the class in Mid Atlantic CCS ultralight. 3 of us battled the whole race. Drafting, changing position, almost bumping. It was great! I really hope next year all of the races are like this. Enjoy the footage!

@Sirref - thx for the heads-up. I stick with CCS/ASRA right now for a lot of different reasons, but mostly because it's a known-quantity. I know the crowd, the structure of the events, and can even get in on a Team Challenge race now and then.
The TPM events sound fun, and if I had the time I'd squeeze one in. It does sound tempting with all the 250s, but how many races/weekend, how much it costs, and how they mix that in with the track day sessions is all research I haven't taken the time to do. With the CCS events being such a blast at this point, I don't believe I'll look elsewhere at the moment. But I have my ear open, I'm always looking to be sold on a better experience if one's there! BTW, are the rest of the CCSers going to start running the Moto3 races since we are now apparently allowed? I'd love to get more laps in...

Yup, ccs is definitely the more competitive and known field. The tpm races have been fun for me because the grids have been good, except at njmp where we've only had 5-6 racers on average

@britx303 Cool, good to know I won't be alone when I register for those next year. I'm shooting to do all the Summit and NJMP CCS events in 2016.
Keep us posted on your 250 acquisition!

No way man,you wont be alone next year. We have a good amount of guys that will be either newbie racers or other guys stepping down from big Ducs etc. There should be a good enough amount of varying talent that everyone will have someone to run with.Its gonna be fun!! And its only September We've really been "talking up" the 250/300 class thing with alot of guys in the Mid-A region,and they all seem to be in for it.

I'm still at the 'buying a lil' ninja' stage (tomorrow morning, in fact), so a bit of clarity would be pretty useful for me. A lot more skill would be even more useful for me, but I can't seem to find a seller for that |

We have had people running full exhausts all season, the rule is no power commander. A full exhaust is useless without a power commander or a zero map power commander
Also, the rules are changing drastically for next year to create a second class so we will have to wait to see what's up for next season

Thanks. I was thinking (wishful thinking perhaps) lighter weight, not added power.
I guess I'll stay tuned for rule adjustments.

I'm staying tuned for that as well, I'm pulling for the open class to allow fully modified ninjas (ala ccs rules) so that you can run a ccs competitive bike in the tpm series without loads of work
there will still be a spec ninja class so it should all work out, hopefully with a fine balance between the two so people can run both series since almost everyone near the top wants to, or already does, run ccs with the same bikes
