That would be the plan is to bust rear end around the city and do little stuff with it. My fzr is just too cantankerous for short runs. I wanna say it has a larger tank on it, but a 40 mile fillup is about on par with my rover. :v:


I may track it. of course I said that about the fzr thats always getting worked on.

CA is so drat weird. If I move back I can keep the 250 tagged, but the 04 yz450f isn't allowed a tag there.

NV? Yeah don't care, give us money.

Best part? I can swap wheels between the two bikes. two sumos for the price of one.

02s were 426es.
03s were 450s. E: I'd avoid any yz/wr from this year. 04 is ok.

You might be able to retrofit said E start from a 450 onto your 426.
I know the later yz cases had casting bosses for a starter even.

My YZ starts on the first or second kick every time. get the jetting right and it'll save you much frustration. .

You can also plop a 450 piston/cylinder on it for a little extra power.


Price is a little on the highside, but you can probably talk the dude down.


fwiw: I paid 1500 for my 99.

I would say the basic bounds for a supermoto are less than 350 pounds, more than 7.5 inches of suspension travel, generous ground clearance to handle jumps, ruts, and other dirtbike style terrain, plus 17s and brakes that wouldn't be out of place on a supersport.


My yz250 ticked all these boxes. Pity it didn't like hot rear end desert temps.

Money :(

If someone wanted to fund the project, I'd gladly do it, but I can't really afford it at the moment. Being a responsible adult means buying a 1290 and trimming the garage way down. At the moment I've got the 1290 and the 999, and I've spent the last 6 months scraping together the cash to get the 999 together and back to 100%. I'm currently focusing on primarily helping other people with their projects until my bank account is at a comfortable place again, which will probably be a year or more.

haha no. the 200w one is more than enough. I've the hid model so its 42w.(Actually 35, fuckers).

I've heated grips too. I do however run a mosfet rectifier. No power issues with it yet, even idling in traffic.

e: I think I still have a -1t front sprocket kicking around somewhere. Should I put it in next time I have the bike apart and see how wheelie happy it gets now that I have cams?



Good train of thought.

-1 front.....14, or 13?

I run 14/47 on dirt, 14/44 on sm. I've 1-3 drz, 4-5 act WR kit though. wheelies are just a flip of the wrist away.

good budget upgrade when you get cams in is the CV40 klrshitfiddy carb. It worked fine even on my bike until I was able to rebuild the FCR39
