same reason on adventure rider, the playboy mansion postHaha how??
I am on local dualsport sites now, and xr forums. dont care for the big ones anymore, too many retards like here. lolWow....that's pretty weak.
You should see what flies on SocalTundras, another one I subscribe to.
hey, that's less expensive than a DH bike to maintain.I have a 2004 KTM 200 EXC and in one year I have had to:
-rear fender - $50 from the KTM shop
-1 shroud - $24 from the KTM shop
-lots of wheel bearings at $25 a set
-new grips - $15 from KTM shop
-1 spark plug don't remember the price
-a couple sets of Michelins at $140 a set
-1 hiem joint at $65 from KTM shop
-2 rear sprockets
-2 chains
-4 front sprockets
-couple sets of brake pads
Like I said I have close to 200 hours and never been in the engine or transmission. However since its been super wet all year I have been through a lot of bearings. I seriously doubt a jap bike would be any cheaper to maintain.
Do they have them to lock on the throttle tube?hey, that's less expensive than a DH bike to maintain.
Buy the stealth sprokets. Your KTM dealer should have them for around $80. If not, let me know and I can get you hooked up with my dealer who will ship you parts. He is cheaper than mail order most of the time. He also gives better advice. Anyway, this is what a stealth sprocket looks like:
They last forever since the wear surface is tool steel.
Buy an RK O-ring or X-ring chain. I get a season on one.
Try ODI grips. Lock on just like a bike.
yes, sort of. it replaces the throttle tube including the cam. About $20 and they don't spin and you don't have to mess with grip glue or wire tieing.Do they have them to lock on the throttle tube?
thanks for the relevant contribution, why didnt I think of quads helping my downhill abilities. man I suck at life.I like quads, I've got a 2008 Yamaha Raptor 350, very reliable
That is the best thing I have heard all day. Gold.Quads are the rollerblades of the motosports world, get one if your dad already knows youre gay.

XR's might not be the greatest bike out there in terms of weight or power but they are good for a beginner to learn the basics, tough to kill, easy to ride, and have a good aftermarket. ive ridden one with an 11:1 280 kit, FCR carb and it ripped, they are very moddable. not the lightest out there but a very well balanced machine imho. also theres something to be said for having a bombproof bike. i like aircooleds myself. no radiators to bash or boil over, one less mechanical system to break, less weight, more simplicity.no offense but XR250's are overpriced on the used market and pretty much suck even for trail riding. I have traded my 450sxf on the trail with my buddies XR250. The power was to low, the gearing was wack (1st was too low with too much spread to 2nd) and the fork was flimsy. Furthermore, it was so heavy that I couldn't throw it around. If your looking for something similar to DH, an XR is not the answer.
The positives are that they run forever with no maintance.

I look forward to talking with you!
I think you highlighted his point about the 2-stroke being "safer". The 4-stroke will lessen the learning curve and can get you into trouble on bigger features as you progress too quickly. Things dodn't come as easy on 2-strokes, so people tend to progress slower but come out better riders in the end.You really have to be in right gear and do everything perfectly. I would have to disagree on the 2 stroke being safer,
