Day one — stalling, a couple of clutch bite falls, 45 minutes of pure determination. By the end of day one he was riding on his own.

Day four — already comfortable in 2nd gear and asking to go every single day.

Couldn't be more proud. Filmed day one if anyone wants to check it out.

I've had street bike since '82. First dirt bike though...definitely have some new skills to learn.

The CRE250 just seems like such a cool bike to own. And they look pretty damn good. 2t, 6 gears, honda enduro. I want one so bad. Either that or a XR650R. Anyone know where I can find them? I don't think they made a lot of them since the CRE was custom and the XR650R is just not really that common. No luck on marketplace. Honestly I just want a honda that has this type of styling. Those fat circular fenders and boxy headlights and fat radiator shrouds typa styling.

2007 CRF 230F

I'm using a 20 watt 2400 lumens LED bar from Geniland (Amazon)

i took out 1st and 5th dogs years ago from rippin wheelies in milwaukee then finally came about some money to rebuild it. needed a shift fork, countershaft assembly, had a crack in the case where the countershaft and main shaft bearings are so i got one off ebay i gotta weld up. hoping to have it together in the next few weeks. it won’t be mxrevival nice but i want it clean as it can be for what i have.

I’m really thinking about getting a dirt bike, but I don’t have any friends to ride with. I’m a teen and I live in a rural area and there’s a sand pit nearby where a lot of people go riding. There are always people there with dirt bikes, but I don’t really know any of them personally, and I probably won’t.

I’d love to get one and I think I’d be super fun, but I also feel embarrassed about getting into it when I’d be riding alone.
Another one of my concerns is spending all that money on a dirt bike and then barely riding it because I don’t have anyone to go with.

Has anyone else started riding without having friends who ride? Was getting a dirt bike still worth it?

I posted this 2005 CRF 230f for 2,600 and I’m getting a bunch of offers. Is that too low of a price? I wasn’t expecting it to blow up. I know it’s a great bike but damn. No title

This is my first big bike I just picked her up the other day, lmk what you guys think of it, id also appreciate some tips and tricks for a beginner biker Edit: I really appreciate all the great feedback and in such a short amount of time too, you guys are all awesome and I hope to learn more from yall (minus the select few chronic redditors)

Guy is asking $2500. It’s a 2003 and it runs. This is my dream project bike, I’ll keep it stock, but just try to get it showroom museum quality.

do any of you go trail riding with any sort of autoimmune disease/POTS/EDS or any other inflammatory bullshit? how do you take care of yourself before/during/after so you can keep riding as long as possible and not feel like death after?

so far all i’ve got is rest day before, eat well, PLENTY of electrolytes. I take brakes through the day. good meal after and a nice epsom salt bath. but what do YALL do?

I’m still a new rider so i’m having plenty of falls and my body is still getting used to riding.

My 2027 YZ250FX needs new plastics. I have Acerbis on it right now but I’m not too happy with them. They didn’t really fit too well. I see UFO and Decal.
Does anyone have any experience with those, or have another suggestion?

What’s good everyone? I’ll try making this short and sweet. It’s been many years since I’ve owned a bike. Young teenager to be honest. Got into music and haven’t ridden in years. That being said, wanting to get back into it and not really sure what’s best out there. I’m a Yamaha and 2 stroke guy so leaning on the YZ250. Without being biased what’s everyone’s opinion out there on brands? Does 2/4 stroke have more problems? Etc. just trying to get some knowledge one these newer bikes before I go out and buy one. Thanks guys!!!

Should I be running 60:1 or 50:1 mix

I was searching for some bikes and i found this Husqvarna Te125 for only 2500€. The bike had a normal number of hours and it seemed to be in a very food condition.The ad is no longer available, i assume that someone already bought it, but I am curious is this was a good deal or no, cause the bike looks very clean, and this kind of bike goes for way more money theese days…

Pictures are before and after messing with the air/fuel screw. Believed it to be running to rich so I leaned it out, second picture was after a full 6 hour day at the track. I have the screw currently set at 1.5 turns out as per the manual states for my elevation and temp but it seems I can’t get it right. My carb doesn’t have stock jets so I ordered a shindy rebuild kit which will have all stock jets for my bike so I’m excited to try that out, bike also backfires a lot during kicking and on deceleration. What do you guys think. Thanks in advance

My buddy bought these wide foot pegs for his KTM but the year was off and they didn't fit. He gave them to me. The chinesium lasted until one slight impact. I like the wide fit feeling.

When my son got into dirt bikes, I made a rule with him that I’m not working on his bikes unless he is helping or hanging out with me while I work. I know how to wrench, but I’m not the hired help. Plus, I want him to know how to do these things when he’s older. Today he got to change oil for the first time on his two 50’s. After that, he was very happy to use the pressure washer on all the bikes. Not a bad day of work for a 4 year old. After the servicing, I had them all lined up drying off and thought “nice, life rules”, so I took a picture.

Hope everyone’s day was rad. Buy your kids dirtbikes and teach them to wrench, you won’t regret it.

Yz250x 2023. First bike so no clue really just here for some advice Thanks
