Yes these are the stock AER forks. They haven't been revalved for XC unfortunately, though he rear does have a bladder kit. And because this bike is a TC, the setup is more track focused. It's a great way to loosen up some fillings and jiggle off the pounds too! lol

Very well. I'm on my second 2023 now. Picked it up back in April. Just trying to keep the hour meter low.

Glad you did Drew. I always have fun making them! And yes, good to see some familiar faces. Winter can be long without events like this.

Got a pretty good deal on the TC250 so I couldn't resist. It sat in my truck overnight outside and fired right up when I arrived. I find adding some throttle on start up in the cold, and using the cold start button located at the bottom of the throttle body, seems to do the trick. I don't have a fan on this bike, so no temperature gauge on the rad. Normally I wouldn't go ride in double digit negatives, so I warmed it up a long time before riding, as you would with most any 2 stroke. I think the idle could get cranked up some to avoid more of those stalling issues, but again the low grip allowed the rear to lock up easier too, so stalling it may still have been a problem. And I just installed a Midwest clutch lever too, so that might need to get dialled in a bit better. But the bike ran great all day.

Beduro. Made in Airdrie.

@@AB_Enduro Thanks man!

Thank you. Funny how we willingly sign up for this sort of abuse. And pay for the privilege. Lol

Can't you go just one outing without having to "kick your bike down a hill".. LoL would've loved to see that.

it was sliding down properly and then it caught and yeeted itself lol @@ivormacfarlane6982

@@MitchOfCanada I suppose you'll need to take Terry and I there now for redemption. LoL

Now that I have my power valve sorted out the bike is great. There is a set screw and nut in there that came loose and locked the valve open, while also wrecking the electronic actuator, as it occurred during a race and I pressed on. But no more codes blinking on the hour meter so it seems like the bike is well sorted now. As for mods, I run one tooth up in the rear (50 supersprox), DID 520ERVT chain, a gummy rear and Michelin mousses for mountain riding or anywhere else where pinch flats might occur. For protection I have Enduro Hog covers on the clutch and stator covers, AXP skid plate (now tied to the back of the frame because their mount bends and causes it to flap if your hitting lots of big obstacles), a Enduro Engineering tbi guard, Power Parts plastic rotor guard in the front and Tusk metal one in the rear, SRT rad guards, OEM fan kit with remote on/off (still runs off of rad temp but these will kill the battery so I manage that with the switch. One downfall of the XC is the weak stator). Lastly there are pull straps front and rear, along with those HDPE Beduro flags and some bar ends. So the main focus is protection for the bike and my hands really.

Thank you. I don’t know if the green made any difference here. Not really riding on the pipe a whole lot. I just didn’t want to be asking for more power on any of the big hills, so went to green on the line just before we set off. In this terrain if you do start to spin no map is going to save you. Had there been more technical lines on our course then I likely would have swapped back to white.

@@AB_Enduro thanks for the feedback. Also have a race this weekend in loose conditions, with some hills, never know if the map really makes a difference

Beduro. A local company based out of Airdrie AB. They are great! Highly recommend.

Thanks! Good to hear I wasn't the only one who had a hard time. I enjoy the challenge which is why i keep coming back for more! It's the only way to improve. Hope to see you out there again.

Thanks!

Oops Missed this comment earlier. Yes it's new. Well 80 hours on it now but it was new at the time.
