I parked my dirt bikes when the drive to the area became more enjoyable than the ride. The nearest place was 1 hour away. My favorite place was 4 hours away. I tried dual sporting on my XR650R. But it seemed like I was always out of gas when I finally got to the fun stuff.
I switched to street only. I put 100k miles on my V Strom in 5 years. But after doing some track days on it this year street riding seemed tame. So I dug out my remaining dirt bike. A 93 Yamaha WR500 that I bought new. It has been sitting for 6 years or so.
I put gas in it and it started on the 3rd kick! Yamaha quality! I was concerned about crank seals and the like. But nothing major has arisen. I've had it out a half dozen times and it runs fine.
I'm waiting on Wiseco to get a piston kit. Then I'll rebuild the crank at the same time.
I'll post a pic if I can figure out the rules here.
