2004 RMZ 250 performance questions - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

futball22 · 12-20-2005, 05:11 PM

What are some good tricks to get more power out of my RMZ 250? Over the winter I plan on putting around $500 +/- into performance parts for my bike and am wondering what kind of things I should look into getting. I do most of my riding in the mountains on tight trails but every now and then go to the track. So my main priority would be to get a little bit more bottom end power without changing the sprockets a whole bunch. any input would be greatly apretiated. Thanks.

Normally the best bang for the buck is to start with the exhaust system. Lots to choose from out there as far as aftermarket products go, so do your research to find the best rated product for your bike.

BTW, just wondering if you used to ride a two stroke before the RMZ? Is it easier to ride for you? Would you go back to the 2 stroke?

I used to have a Cr250 a while back. And have wrode my fair share of 2-strokes. And I love my bike compared to any bike I have ridden. My brother has the 04 YZF 450, and I would still prefer to ride my RMZ 250 over his bike in the mountains. Although his bike does have more power. its alot heavier. With the 250, I find that the power is more managable and the bike is nice and light so its easy to trow around. I ride with a bunch of 450 4-strokes and 250 2-strokes and I still haven't yet found a day where I wish I had a different bike.

Cool: Thanks Futball. I have an '03 RM250 but I'm considering getting into a 250F. I'm just a weekend warrior and the 250 2 stroke is a real handfull for an amateur.
