First of all what year models?
The 2004 Crfx is trouble if the valves are not fixed , it had serious valve ressesion problems and when you went for valve clearance checks there was never any valves in there to check. If you get a 98-02 wr250f make sure you know how to kickstart it , they have a decompression lever and requires a clearout , then bring kickstarted back to top dead centre then 20 degrees of compression lever then kickstart to the top take hand off decomp lever then kick over. It takes ages if you dont know who to do it correctly.
Either way I hope you like shed time and got a bit of money on hand , these bikes are expensive to maintain and watch for a big end bearing rattle to fix it will cost you $2000+
Gotta change the oil every 300km for optimum performance that means new oil filter. Must clean the filter before every ride otherwise your putting your engine in jepordy

wrf all the way! had one for 4 years untill last month when i sold it. only problem i ever had was fifth gear slipping. if youd seen the way i treated it you'd be surprised! my brother had it for two prior to me and never went easy on it either. it was an 02.
the decomp is easy to use, UNIT_MX makes it sound like rocket science. the whole time i had it i never had to kick it more than three times.
very regretfull sale but next bike will be another yamaha without a doubt.

Enduro bikes aren't meant to be riden on the road otherwise you will root the gearbox , no cushion drive and held at a constant rpm =bad. Never pretend a enduro bike is meant for the road.

I share your love for the 300exc but the 250exc is the way to go , never had a problem with mine and it sure beats a four stroke! Ktm= the only way to go , if it aint orange its a lemon

Nuh not rocket science but a pain in the ass , decomp levers suck when your trying to hillstart on a climb. You should clear out the motor first it clears out the motor , works alot better. Keep your decomp lever , ill keep my first kick every kick no decomp 2 stroke
