After 10 years of no bike

Its been a long time, I've lurked on here for years, but never post. I had a conversation with the wallet and a nudge from the girlfriend and ended up with a 2018 KTM 250 SX last month. My last 250 2 stroke was 17 years ago (2000 KTM 250SX) and my last bike was Micheal Willards Seattle supercross 2005 KTM SX250F. Needless to say I'm a little rusty and the arm sucks, but its been a lot of fun getting back out. I've only been in Texas a few years so I've only ridden at Murphy's in Red Rock a few times so far. Looking forward to Cycle Ranch opening back up as its closer to me.

I have a few carb parts on order to try the jetting digger has suggested in another thread, for now it has the JD jet kit and runs 100x better than it did. I also dropped the rear sprocket to 49 and adjusted the power valve and set the suspension how MXA had their 2017 setup, which was a great starting point and made the bike enjoyable.



I also think I have a future moto head on my hands here, The girlfriends son is 5 and has never experienced anything like this and is always talking about bikes now. Working on figuring out a way for him to earn his first bike, I'm thinking a CRF50 would be a good start for him for now.
