Pete Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 Still got a bit to do on it Alan. Handguards and mirrors are needed urgently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted December 19, 2004 Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2004 Sweet little ride there Pete 8) Are those turn indicators original?.......they almost look aftermarket. I just put a similar looking set on my XJ, is why I asked :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcooled Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 aye handguards and mirrors would finish it off a bit. my rd aint got mirrors and it's useless tbh :roll: do the hanguards help keep your hands a bit warmer too then pete? must cut the wind blast a good bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 Indicators are standard Scott. And I find handguards help me with my white finger syndrome, so they're as essential to me as mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 mmmmm i want one what does it go like pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 For a 250 it goes very well indeed Moz....I was very surprised TBH. It wants to be revved though, but when you keep it buzzing you can get round quite rapidly considering how small it is. I tell you something, it's not far behind the XT600 in performance when you make it work hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 basically the same lump as an xt 250 then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 Not sure...I think the motor's been changed a bit TBH. Moz...come and sign up over at my new place DualSportUK....Scott and Alan are members there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted December 23, 2004 Moderator Share Posted December 23, 2004 Gotta believe that the addition of DOHC is a big help in the performance side of things :wink: ......although I'm not sure just how long they've been doing that to the 250's :? Do you have any other plans for it Pete?......maybe a set of those Metzelers Tourances :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 This will be used mainly on country trail type roads Scott....and as the Tourance is mainly road based then I doubt it. I'll need more of a 50/50 compromise tyre on it. It's actually got Trials tyres on it at the moment, which are basically as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
