Chris rides a 250r not L a 250r is much more of a "Full" dirt bike than a 250L
I know because my dad has a 250L and there is a lot of difference.
he put on an xr400 rear wheel without the rubber dampener and 01 cr125 upside down forks, rewired the whole bike removing the battery box and speedometer he did a lot to get the 250L up to par. my 250r does much better on the trails out of the box. although now his bike is better.
Chris has a stupid flat slide carb that make his bike suck.... and about 100 pounds of gear lol
still I have not found any place i cant get my 250r at walker that someone else can get another similar sized bike. obviously a good trials rider would leave me behind on some stuff.
