just got a '06 for my son today
hello,
proud / scared dad moment, just trucked home with an '06 EX250 for my son. I've ridden / raced ( dirt, baja style )since i was 8 ish. my son hasn't really shown that much interest, but I found this bike and he seemed to really want it, so i pulled the trigger! $800 seems like a pretty good deal, it's under 6k miles, tires / brakes / fork seals all seem good, but when I got it home and did an exteneded test ride the carbs leaked gas. not too big of a deal i'll order a rebuild kit tomorrow, this will be a good 1st lesson on how to take care of your new bike for him. anyway, I found this forum and thought I'd sign up, always can use tips on ; well - everything ! thanks ! |

Welcome to the board, @dviskoe. It probably won't get much better... my daughter and I just got back from our 5th year together at the annual 2-stroke meet at Deals Gap, NC, and every time she rode without me I was a little nervous until she got back.
