Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes

Hi, i got this a couple of months ago, it is well cool. 8) .Can anyone help me make it go faster ! I can only get 65 out of it, and so I have stopped eating .

I have recently bought a '91 XT600E to replace my Kawasaki ZXR400 which I was finding too sports focused. I payed £800 for it with 17k on the clock and FSH. It is a bit tatty round the edges but mechanically sound. I have enjoyed riding it during the last couple of months and this has gotten me thinking about touring europe next summer. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the following: 1. Does anyone make a screen for the XT as I'm finding it quite heavy going at speeds over 65mph. Also, does adding a screen make the high speed weave better or worse? 2. What is the XTs' true tank range when run hard/normal? 3. What are the best tyres for touring/…

Well, I'm now up to 4,000 miles and the XT is still performing very well. It is just a brilliant bike. The rear tyre was shot at 4,000 miles and the replacement cost £95 including fitting and wheel balancing. Decals are slowly but surely coming away and I have a new set coming from Yamaha, which I will not put on. I'll keep them for when/if I sell the bike.

would one suit me? hearing all the good things from pete and alan is making me think maybe i should try one out. they seem to meet my requirements well and i ride on roads prob alot similar to pete and alan. so come on guys, convince me 8) oh, i aint a short arse either so i'm fine on that account the cheap insurance seems a very good pro, as does the fact i like exploring along all the small roads/tracks, i rarely ride over 75 so that shouldnt be a problem, the only con i could see is wind protection :? that wouldnt bother me too much though, i'm used to bikes with no screens/fairings...what do you think? oh yeah and what's prices like?

does anyone know of any websites that are in english where i could get import dt125r they seem to be more powerfull than the english ones and i'm fed up with my friend canning past me on his italian import please please could someone help : :x

Hi all!! I was just wondering if anyone around here knows where i can get a full dt125r decal/sticker set. I have been looking all over the internet for them and have had no luck!! So could somebody tell me a website where i could find them..or maybe tell me of another set of decals that would fit a dt and where I could get them!!? Thanx

Hi I am looking to replace my exhaust and wanted to know what exhausts you would recommend for a good power increase.

Hi I have recently bought a DTR125r on a S plate 1998. I need help in derestricting it. I have removed the the restrictor out of the front of the exhaust. I know there are more restrictors on the bike and need info on removing them. I have bought a full racing pipe for this bike. Cant wait to see if this makes any difference Any info will be greatly appreciated Thanks, M2theMillsey 420 after hours and you knows its true!

Hi I have recently bought a '92 SRX400. I was wondering if anybody out there has had one/still has one and what are the issues they have come across. Are there any things i should look out for? This is my first bike so i'm pretty clueless :?: Looking 4ward to any help you guys and gals can give

found this pic while browsing, looks like this guy's planning a BIG tour on his xt 8) they seem to attract every type of rider...

We are soon launching an excellent range of off road bikes sourced from a Far East supplier and have detailed plans to build a major brand. Based Leeds there will be several job opportunities over the next few months in both sales, spares and other business functions. email [email protected] for more details

One of the designers of the FJR has participated in the development of a new prototype. http://ymedc.introweb.nl/en/archive/enduro...o/tricker.shtml You really need to see this bit of video! :shock: http://www.cruiser.no/filer/yamaha-tricker_small.mpeg

Early this evening a friend (on a DRZ400) and I went on some pretty rough stuff. If you have a relief map of Wales, we went from Bontgoch (Elerch) up through the forestry to the end of the Nanymoch reservoire - about 12 miles and a climb of about 1200 feet in one two mile section. It took well over an hour and a half and we didn't see another human being. The XT was surprisingly capable of handling what, in places, was a very steep, rocky and loose surface. This track would be impassable to anything other than a short wheelbase Landrover. The Suzuki was obviously better, but the XT kept its end up. One thing I will do, however, is get better more supportive boots. My ro…

They still have this one fir sale, $1599 :shock:

Here's a shot taken today on the Eppynt Mountain range between Brecon and Builth. The idyllic setting in the background is a bit misleading though....cos the rest of the region is an MOD Weapons Testing Area. So I had to be a bit careful where I took photos in case I got arrested for spying!

Ive currently bought a full DEP pipe for it (recommended to any one with a DT) and about to fit race reeds but i know its expensive when they go wrong so does any one know roughly how many miles before i should change them? cheers for your help

.....for an XT225 Serow for the wife to use offroad. Only available in the UK as a grey import, so I've got to do a bit of searching to find one. They're a great little bike though. Anybody know of any for sale?

1395 miles and 7 days later. The XT took it all in its stride. Oil used - nil. Coolant used - nil. Petrol used at an amazing 78mpg. Weather was pretty good. BUT the bloody midges, I've got bites everywhere :!: The XT was completely at home on this journey. The M6 from Chester Services to Moffat, with only one stop, was very boring, but the bike held 75 mph all the way and I was in better nick at the end than my mate on the CBR600. The Dullville is designed for this kind of thing, but the XT and the Africa Twin were almost on a par, with the Africa Twin offering better wind protection, but with hand numbing vibrations. Once into the hills the XT and Africa Twin were …
