New 250 Rider in SoCAL!

xylo · November 2nd, 2012, 02:02 PM

Hello all! I picked up my used '10 250 here in the Antelope Valley March of this year. I did the MSF, read the books, took my time, etc. After 7,000+ miles of riding (mostly commuting) and some twisty action, I am still really enjoying it!

If anyone is local and wants to do a weekend ride or something, shoot me a PM!

Welcome, my friend.

Wish me luck, doing my first valve job! Just put the cams back on and started double checking lash. Looks like one of my shims is either out of place or something is a miss. Super tight exhaust valve.

Next weekend ride out to Cuckwalla. If you can't get on the track you can at least come out to watch.

I never understood that track thing. Are you chasing or being chased?
