Used to love 2t soooo much and hated 4t but right as I hoped on a race 4t I was getting lap times that were faster better suspension more comfortable and feels like it pulls the same as a powerband but the whole time and more controllable and easier to jump, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to 2t now.

You hear that rattle, I believe it's the swing arm, might be that long bolt needs tightened up. It's impressive it held up, I noticed it when you would jump. And on every bump. I love ktm, my sx 250 2 stroke, I laid her over in the creek and fired her right up afterwards. I'd say that's the only thing a 2 stroke can do that a 4 stroke can't. But 4 strokes are easier to work on and requires less maintenance overall. I'm looking for a good Baja 500 bike. Any suggestions is helpful, I'm looking for something with options. Or that I can easily modify.

You should definitely get a 250 four stroke I like seeing both
