[QUOTE="TexKDX, post: 127050, member: 16276"] 'Dog, I agree with you that the point was made - eventually ;).. Speaking of the aftermarket parts, I just put on a Clarke 3.8 gallon tank (cost $0.00 to me BTW) and Scotts dampner kit. The good news is the tank went right on, no problems, perfect fit. The Scotts is another story. One great thing about the little XR is it has a ton of steering sweep lock-to-lock. Change that to HAD, because I had to add steering stops for the dampner not to bottom out on itself. These removed a whole bunch of steering lock, I mean a whole bunch :( . Guess it will be coming off for the real tight stuff and I'll have do drill the stops all the way thru or go in and thread them properly instead of just cranking in a self tapping screw. If anyone else has experience with this mod please let me know. jsmith, the bike seems geared pretty low to me already. First is a stump puller and 2nd/3rd worked great is some really tight and nasty stuff I did on it Sunday. I plan to go up a tooth on the front for DS work that has roads on the route BTW. As far as the fork brace, I was looking at going to XR400 or 'Zoke forks on the bike and have a set of each located. From what the owner of Thumper told me as well as other owners of the bike, the brace is a good idea if you are a faster rider and get into the rough stuff. The smaller forks tend to deflect and effect the steering precision of the bike. I may add one after I get the suspension done because then it will handle whoops at speed and probably need the stiffness more than it does now. It is definately on the list of adds though. I'll most likely stick with the stock boingers. Arizona_Jeff, I respectfully disagreed with Hammer and offered an explanation of where and why without any namecalling. I'm still getting over the fact that xrsforever and I actually agree on something too :eek: After doing 3 US market Jap offroad bikes in the last 18 months - a KDX, a WR400, and now the XR250, I'll tell all of you - there is nothing you can say that will change my position about spending several evenings with the bike and making some mods in the process. Some $0.00 mods, others just a few bucks, and something like the Scotts and handguards. JMO, slam it and me if you want, and I still think it is good advice for the forums. It only gets worse with the US Spec DS bikes. At least the euro spec bikes have real carbs on them with air/fuel screws that turn and needle clips that move. [/QUOTE]
