Question from a new guy...

Had a friend of mine take the bike out today and he said it seemed a lil sluggish at first. We really did not let the bike warm up and I told him prior owner said it was cold collared. He rode it another time and said it seem to have gotten better and may have needed to warm up.

I am going to take it to his Dad's shop and let him give it a go through.

Does the 250 need to warm up for a bit before riding?

Yes. These bikes are VERY cold-blooded. They really need to warm up to shine.

Have them ride the bike around a bit, let it warm up, and then see what it feels like.

Rule #1: don't let others ride your bike.

Rule #2: don't ride other people's bike so they don't ask to ride your's.
