what would you do to make the Z a better trail bike? i know the gearing is pretty tite so top speed might be out of the question(unless you split the cases?but other than that what would you guys do? thumpers or nuthin!!! Alan

Get a 12oz flywheel weight from steahly, and add 2 teeth to the rear, instant trail/motocross bike with super suspension.

How much money do you have?

20" front rim
18" rear rim
skid plate
14 oz steahly
Pro Taper bar
Dr D Hot Start
BBR Kicker
Shark fin
Frame Guards
Radiator Guards
Bark Buster
Brush Guards

There's always different pipes, tires, suspension, etc.

I love crashing!

the reason i am asking is that the YZ becoming easier to come by than the WR , not only that but price!! would a 19 rear be okay for trail riding? thumpers on nuthin!!! Alan

One of my riding buddies is on a YZ, all he's done to the bike is add a skid plate and a pipe, otherwise the bike is stock. If you have difficulties, consider flywheel weights, but they aren't mandatory.

I've got a 250F. All I did was add a "WR" exhaust and 3 teeth in the rear. I'm going to take the stock black insert out of the "WR" exhaust and put in a Vortec insert. I had to quiet mine down for Michigan rides. Southern Ohio all I have to have is a spark arestor. These two things are all you need for the basics. But the guards are a good idea also.

I think it kind of depends on your skill level. If you ride tight steep stuff or faster stuff. The only mods I did are the power core 4 and MX powerbomb e-line skid plate and 7mm of preload on the forks. This set up let's the little thumper rip most any place,Rampart to Taylor park.
