[QUOTE="Patman, post: 738433, member: 16962"] Twice the power? I doubt that. More suspension? Define more. Longer travel? Not TWICE as much. Then it may also be too stiff. 50 pounds lighter? LOL! 240 pounds vs 228 pounds works out closer to 12 pounds in my world. Electric start? Yup it does have that. It also has radiators, and water pump and other maintenance and crash damage prone items that the XR does not have. Let's also not forget the power delivery is worlds apart. Heck why not just say go get a KTM 525e/xc and be done with it? Everybody has different needs and desires for the type of riding they do. For me an XR250R based bike is proving to be better than anything I've had in the past. It might not be forever but right now it's the best bike I've ever ridden for what I want to do. Now to the question at hand. Removing the snorkle from the airbox will open things up as will a UniFilter with their free flowing filter cage. Pulling the head pipe and doing a little grinding on the welds on the cylinder end of the pipe will make it flow MUCH better but not as well as a well designed system. For that I'd really suggest getting with Thunder Alley (thunderalley.net) for a complete system with spark arrestor to stay USFS legal. SRC offers a fork brace that will help if you are experiencing flex in the front end. I'd suggest looking in to a good skid plate (I use a Moose) to protect things. There will be a writeup posted soon with pictures and details of all the modifications made when building my XR284R. If you want a taste check out my gallery. If you want a bombproof bike that is low maintenance and with potential to become a very potent woods ride you chose well. :thumb: [img]http://www.dirtrider.net/teamdrn/showphoto.php?photo=5353&size=big&password=1706cacbfba9b3b5a7b61d17ad5ad053&sort=1&cat=500[/img] [/QUOTE]
