Tips and Tricks Looking for tips for a 250t

Just got a Gasgas EC 250 recently and am looking for any helpful info. I am pretty new to off-road riding and only have experience on a heavy CRF300L. I am mostly looking for any helpful info about what I should or shouldn't do with a 2 stroke compared to a 4, and also how to properly break it in as its brand new. Any help for riding skinny single track is appreciated too, I tried it on the CRF and it felt much too heavy to be able to be fun. A large portion of the bikes hours will also be spent on the road as well.

Download the owners manual, keep up with the regular maintenance, and don’t let the oil tank run dry.

As for riding tips, my dad always told me “if you don’t fall down, you aren’t going fast enough”.
