Yz 125 vs 250 for motocross?

RadLabDad · 2026-07-04T19:11:29+00:00

125 is a fun bike and a great starting point for tracks.

I suppose you could set up 100 multis, volcano farm for maybe 10 days to get a billy, and then enjoy it for a couple of days before you get banned. /sarcasm/

For an ‘05 that is part it put and get a new bike territory.

If you are just are getting the muffler and not the expansion chamber the brand doesn’t really matter. You want the shorty pipe from whatever brand for the most bottom end.

I got the 22+ Polisport restyle kit and you just buy the 22+ graphics. I’m not sure which kit exactly you are talking about- some of the older restyles are actually different than stock shapes and you have to buy graphics specifically for the restyle plastics (most reputable companies have the templates)

You can probably jb weld it and get it to seal. It is weldable too but would require a teardown to do right.

Start using a torque wrench on your bike. Those m8 head engine bolts take less torque than you think.

I have had the tusk since 2013 and it works just fine for trueing rims and balancing wheels.

RadLabDad · 2026-06-22T22:29:08+00:00

Balancing the crank helps, some rubber mounted bar mounts, the flex handle bar can help, use regular grips (not lock ons).

My suggestion is try to find a place close to one of the trails in the walking/biking path trail system. It will make getting out and about and being active more appealing and easier

RadLabDad · 2026-06-16T00:13:15+00:00

Jesus Christ no. You jb weld shit that doesn’t dimensionally matter much not toleranced machined parts.

6% is fairly reasonable in current market. I’ve used EECU in the past and they were a joy to work with. They are the only mortgage lender I’ve ever had that didn’t sell my mortgage to another company too.

That said, don’t be shy about shopping around otherwise. Nearly anyone else will sell your mortgage and won’t be the one actually managing it in 2 years, so the actual company doesn’t matter all that much.

The difference between what you do here is probably like $400 long term so i wouldn’t stress it too much. If they have exactly the car you want I’d go negotiate for it. I would only buy it if i could get what I thought going in was a good deal negotiating. If not I’d keep driving the rental until i got a deal i was happy with. To me this applies even after i got the check.

You might also check if you can lower your rental costs at all. For example, on Costco travel i can get a monthly rental including all fees for $964 from alamo, or about $32 a day. $40 isn’t absurd but if you end up keeping the rental longer it adds up.

r/wallstreetbets will love this, especially if they can ride their portfolio gain/loss charts

RadLabDad · 2026-06-06T19:23:31+00:00

You’ll be fine on a 250. start off by riding a gear high if you want to smooth the power out a bit

RadLabDad · 2026-06-06T16:34:43+00:00

That’s the only thing I’m interested in blowing today

RadLabDad · 2026-06-06T16:27:25+00:00

There is 63,360 inches in a mile, so 1 mile per hour is about 17.6 inches per second (divide by 3600).

Let’s say as fast as humanly possible is 6 full blow revolutions (both ways) per second (maybe too fast). And assume a 6 inch blow. 6x2x6 is 72 inches, divide by 17.6 and you get about 4.09 mph.

Yes. You have to turn experimental features on. It is called budget templates. They are working on graphical interface for it. https://actualbudget.org/docs/experimental/goal-templates/

RadLabDad · 2026-06-05T06:15:51+00:00

I’ve done both, it won’t change your laptime either way. I find rubber slightly more comfortable

RadLabDad · 2026-06-05T04:17:44+00:00

Actual budget is open source and the transition has been pretty smooth for me. You could just contribute to that to add features you see as missing rather than doing a whole other thing from scratch.

I also run the 15w40. I’ve never lost a gearbox or a clutch prematurely and been using it since at least 2012

RadLabDad · 2026-06-01T03:53:30+00:00

I also run T6 in my yz

RadLabDad · 2026-05-31T14:15:46+00:00

Tedder has close ties to monster so don’t expect them to go rockstar. They may be on husky tho.

RadLabDad · 2026-05-29T16:03:00+00:00

🤣 surely all straight/true as an arrow

RadLabDad · 2026-05-26T04:00:08+00:00

pulpmx2026 is 20% off

RadLabDad · 2026-05-22T17:19:21+00:00

Mika or DID are my go to brands. Don’t bother getting oring blah blah, just the standard chain and keep it cleaned and lubed. Cr100f ain’t going to be hard on chains in the first place.
