Dude. We grew up in the countryside. We both have a ton of experience in dirt (mostly 2 strokes). You guys make it sound like he doesnt know what he's getting into. He asked for advice on 2 different bikes, not advice on how many CC's he should get.

I wouldnt buy anything less than a 450f for dirt either. And yes, I have ridden them on multiple occasions.

What's your opinion on stainless steel reusable oil filters? I'll definitely be buying an hour meter.

I'll be geared up pretty well. Is there anything else I should be considering?

I use one, they seem to catch just as much as the paper filters. Just make sure to really inspect it each oil change and really clean it good. I use a little cleaner and air nozzle to blow it out in a rag catching any tiny metal particles. At my Cycle Gear they charge $4.95 for 1 paper filter, I have a Moose stainless that was $29.99 that paid for itself twice already.

And even if you don't want to MX, outside of helmet/goggles/boots, neck braces are all the craze in the latest safety technology. Mainly Leatt braces, but Alpinestars and EVS have some out as well.

I was thinking about stretching and lowering it. Also thought about polishing the expansion chamber after I rejet the carb and set the gap on the points.

I just picked it up today. Played in the snow a little bit. Unintentionally wheelied it while turning in the road. This thing is going to be a lot of fun!
