I have a 10 oz FWW coming in for my '03 CR250R. Should be in today and I'm looking forward to seeing how it helps in the tight singletrack & small hill climbs I like to ride. I don't know if I'll put it on for the weekend as I've been trying a different carb and don't have it sorted out yet. I don't want to make too many changes that I can't track what does what.
I like the way you do things. Do the same with suspension.. 1 change at a time even if that means lots of clicks, just don't change more than 1 thing at a time. It isn't always possible to do "1 change" but in your case this time, it is..

i just bought a 2001 Cr 250r and would like to know what weight would be ideal for woods single track riding and some open desert riding. Also what sprocket combo would be best. The bike was set up for desert racing.
the guys at TrailTech are very helpful in getting you the correct size fww for your type of riding, and the bike you have. Im sure there are threads on gearing for desert if ya do a search. We got sand here in FL , but not deserts

the synthetics are not a bad thing by any means just know what your running. dont be sucked into the magical land of synthetic heaven.
synthetic has its obvious advantages like friction reduction and a longer life. i dont use synthetic oil in my bike but i do in my truck.
reason being is my race bike sits for a week or two at a time between races and i dont want to chance having a dry start every race. also i
like to change my oil every two hours to make sure all is well indide. this is not enough hours for petrolium based oils to break down so there is no need to pay extra for something that extends your oil life when your not even stretching out to your current oil life.
if you do use synthetic just make sure you put petroleum oil in it for seasonal storage.

sorry you feel that way. maybe yyou should have a chat with the guys at cen-pe-co oils. i sat through a 4 hour conference with them discussing different types of oils; problems and advatages to all different types.
annother thing to be careful of as far as deposits go is multi viscosity oils. the bigger the range the more liquified plastic is in them..plastic = deposits.
like i said lets not turn this into a oil thread. so onto a new topic.
who has ridden the new ktm 350? i imagine they are a great woods bike for competing with the 450's
