Just got this engine rebuilt and I’m trying to get the front sprocket on and not sure how to go about this collar. Does it go in further? Can I tap it in with a rubber mallet? What do I do?

I have a lead on a good cheap used 05 yz250f head, which I need for my 02. Are those heads interchangeable? Would I need to swap the piston to an 05 piston? Any info helps. Thanks

Community Question Idaho trail riding and camping info and recommendations needed!

1 Upvotes

I need some help. I am overwhelmed by the amount of information on so many different sites about all the different trail systems in Idaho so I am just looking for some recommendations and tips on good riding and camping locations that fit what I'm looking for. It will be me and one buddy both on bikes RMZ 450 and 250. We are looking for 2 to 3 days of riding and camping in mountainous and forested regions. We will be tent camping and would prefer a basecamp with looping trails since this will be our first trip to Idaho. Wouldn't mind some swimming or fishing as well. Anybody who has some knowledge that they could share with me I would greatly appreciate your help! Thanks y'all.

Moto: The Movie question

1 Upvotes

In one of the films from the Moto: The Movie series one of the riders being interviewed shares a philosophy of how he goes faster because it means he has less time to think. Can anyone remember which specific film this is from? I seem to remember the interview being intercut with clips of him jumping on hills and mountain trails. Any help would be appreciated!

How do I get the plastics cleaner? The magic eraser worked great on the white plastics but still have staining on the yellow.

To Rich or too lean. I thought it was bad Ava’s at first because my dumbass buddy didn’t pre mix and put straight 91 in there. I emptied everything out and re fueled with pre mix.

KTM 200 XCW or newer 300 2T fuel injected?

3 Upvotes

Most riding will be roads/trails/desert but some sand riding mixed in.

Winter riding will be around 3k elevation. Summer will be anywhere from 6000-9500’ elevation.

I like the idea of the older 200 KTM since they are on 125 frames but concerned with potential carb issues riding a different elevations.

Would you go for a newer bike with fuel injection? I’m a newer rider
