Howdy! I figured I'd join a site specific to the 250R since I own one. I'm a member of 3WW, 3WO, ATVriders, Kawieriders, and several others I can't remember. I go by either 69HemiGTX or Waynoka Local, depending on the site. I'm not really sure why I changed my screen name, but I did. I've used 69HemiGTX for a very long time, especially on car and truck sites. Waynoka Local came from the fact that I used to live in Waynoka, OK, before I joined the Army. Anyways, here's a pic of my 250R. It's sat mostly unused due to my career, but it sure can run when I ask it to. I'm 6' 6" and weigh 230, so it has a bit of power since it impresses me, and I have owned several LT500Rs. I'm a Kawasaki guy at heart, but they're just too expensive and rare to build a go-to machine, so my plans are to eventually build a 430 Puma with midrange porting for the dunes. I really like bottom-to-mid power, so I don't rev the crap out of my stuff. That being said, I really like the way Arlan thinks. I think his products from the air filter to the silencer and everything in between will do the trick.
