yz250k advice needed….please.
« on: September 10, 2013, 08:04:08 pm »
I am madly trying to get my yz250k ready for CD10, have just purchased a dg pipe and the instructions say re-jetting will be required.
any K owners out there that may know what size is needed?
Also i am rebuilding the rear wheel and the shop wants to know the offset….at the risk of sounding stupid, what is the offset, and how do i measure it??
any help greatly appreciated.

Take the tyre off the rim and give them the whole wheel intact. They can simply measure the offset themselves. Two seconds work with a straight edge and a tape measure

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

You either need to take them the bike or at least the swingarm & axle assy so they can get the rim in the right spot or find someone who can measure there intact wheel & give you the specs,As far as the pipe goes you will have to test ride after fitting it & do a plug chop to see if it's rich or lean :)
