06 ec 250 rebuild / update
Thought id share my rebuild experience with everone.
So far I have.... Ordered transformation kit Started pulling it down I admit I went back to the simple life of a yamaha 4stroke ... clean airfilter change oil ride repeat Was close to scraping the bike but decided against it, I bought it new in 06 and raced / pretty well beat on it for the next 3 or 4 years (rebuild in 08 Approx 80hrs) old piston won some dust colectors, and put it in the corner to rest for a few years.

I wanted a WRF, and was torn betwween 250 and 450. People said the 450 would 'rip my arms out' (At the end of a long ride) - being a bit of a novice. I got a 250 in the end and was really dissapointed. Quite peaky, and the lack of power bored me shit-less. Im a big guy, with alot of motorcycle experience [Although only a year off-road] and dont feel the 450 would have been a problem. Glad i got the Gasser, but might still have a dabble with a 450 sometime...... And keep the rebuild pics coming fullthrottle. I've had a couple of 'makeovers' on various bikes in the last few years, and its always interesting to see other peoples ideas / methods and thoughts.
