I'm a big two stroke fan and actually race one about every weekend but I'm being forced to race four strokes on the game due to the fact that I can't find any good settings for any of the 250 two strokes.  Anyone have any suggestions?

no they just suck lol, especialy the 250s. just no luck i tried everything, there slow and have no accel. but the 125s on the other hand are pretty good. not big of a diffrence comapred to the 250f.

Hey, thanks for replying to my post.  I'd tried just about every setting for them before I posted this but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.  Looks like I've either got to pin it the whole time (which wouldn't be much of a lost anyways) or just stick with the four strokes.

I don't know man. I'm not one of the superfast guys, so this might just be me but...I find the 250 2-smokers often serve me better than the 450s. Get the FMF Gnarly, it adds the extra 5 tuning bars, then forget how you set up the engine on a 4-stroke and tune it to be one bar favoring the top speed. Ride it for a dozen laps or so then decide whether or not you need a bump in either direction and adjust. I think with a few tries you might find that 2-smokers can do things the 4-strokes can't.  It's a trade off though because it will be tougher to make some of the bigger gaps you're used to clearing. Like I say tough, I'm a mid-pack rider.

Yeah, actually, the first bike I got on the game was the Suzuki RM 250R and it served me well till I got fast enough to lap all time riders withing 8 laps, after that I had to move to a 450 and they're the only bikes that perform well enough to allow me to keep my momentum without having the bike tapped out every second of the race.

Same here.  As much as I want to race a two stroke, I dare not due to the serious lack of power.  They really set a bad image for the two strokes by giving them the crappy power they did.

Hmm, the few times I do pull off a win it's on a 250. Maybe I'm just not smooth enough on the power to make a 450 dance.

Yeah,  the two strokes aren't all that bad (not as bad as I probably made them sound anyways).  I can win on just about anything if I keep the bike up but  I have more trouble on anything other than a 450.  I'm always looking for the faster bike so the two strokes in the game just aren't for me.  I just wish they'd given more credit to the two stroke power band because I love the two stroke more than any other bike.
