picking up my first db this weekend, some might have seen it on ebay, feel like I got a good deal on it, regardless I am excited to get it home and try it out. From the info I got off the vin# it is a XC250 made in Jan 02. Any advice or criticism is welcome:D

Nice looking machine.

Advice...
Since it's your first DB, don't do like I did and take it in the back yard and loop it first thing. I hadn't ridden a dirt bike since my '74 CR 250 Husky and I was unprepared for the hit of a modern 2 smoke...:o
 
I bought my kids GG off of Ebay also. I hope it works out as well for you as it did us! You will find a lot of info on this forum. Welcome aboard!

You & I are in the same boat. I bought my first dirt bike Saturday. The last time I rode a bike it was a old Honda 80 over 25 years ago.
It has rained here (MS) for about 12 days straight but Sunday morning I woke up very early to no rain. I decided to try it out. I was a completed surprised by the power the bike had. My neighborhood has only one area of grass & it's a "common" area around the lakes. I know everyone's wondering what jerk tore the sod all to hell. It was completely be accident.

My next ride will be in a wide open pasture, if it ever stops raining….
 
Thanks for the relies fellas, my bud has a sweet KDX220 and we are planning a trip to Lexington Kentucky in the spring, figure that should give me plenty seat time to tackle a big ride.
I will post better pics and have more questions after I get my hands on it.

Hey, I've been hauling mine on a hitch rack on a minivan. That's much better.

I love the raccoon!

I looked at the hitch haulers but they're all class III, I would need adapter or do some cutting and welding.
I have a couple ideas kicking around.
The little coon is funny as hell to me lol..
 
finally made it down to Florida and picked up the bike, trip was good, safe, light traffic and no tickets..
I really need a owners manual if anyone can help me with one.. here are some pics, I took bike for a quick trip around the block, bike sounds awesome no weird noises or problems. As far as power all I can say is HOLLY SH!T...
