[barbwire44]

I have been on the hunt of a newer bike for a few months and found an 02 250exc, anything to look for in paticular on these bikes that would be a problem for a buyer??? Any problem areas, or things that say get back in the truck..LOL!!!

FAQ has some info

You'll know if it's a goodie if it does the "flip" trick in 4th gear!

Lots of good info here!

well it didn't come home with me, made it 20 yards across the owners property and popped the rear shock..... Also took it down the road and it had a real bad head shake in high gear, not sure what was causing that, but it didn't feel right, nice and torquey, but I will have to say I was not impressed with the power, The bike did feel like a really good trail bike and easy to ride. He is getting the shock rebuilt and I think I will take another ride on it, But I think I am gonna look for a 300 during that time also.
