YZMAN400 said:Mark you should consider the Michillin X-11 trials tire. Lots of offroaders are switching over to them. Say that traction is unreal on lots of vonditions. And its DOT. I want one but the $112 price for the rear always holds me back.
You migt have heard this but with a carefull bit of grinding that NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE printed on the sidewall of the tire can easily be converted to FOR HIGHWAY USE.
morgan said:The Kenda isn't a bad rear. Nice tall knobs----just a little narrow for the indicated size.
YZMAN400 said:I have heard of people getting really good milage outta those X-11's on the street, like 1000 miles or more. The trick is air pressure. You need to run higher air pressure for on road use vs offroad use. Offroad folks run like 6 lbs. On road is more like 20 due to sidewall flex.

I can't wait to hear Marie's accounting of your incident. You did tell Marie about it.......didn't you? You better let me know before it gets brought up during a campfire discussion some night, :ohmy:

Meee tooo. Just plated my bike yesterday. Na-na-na-na-na! :nener: I only had the Cert of Origin and it said 'motorcycle' on it, so the SOS did not even ask for the inspection form. I made a nice ktm license plate holder with a $5 mud flap from Murrays. It was the perfect width, so I just needed to make one cut with a stanley knife and drill holes.FLEM said:what does your title say?
if it doesn't say for off-road only just go into the SOS w/ your proof of insurance and get your plate. I bought my bike out of state( IL) and just took the certificate of origin to the SOS w/ my insurance and got my 450 plated. I have since added the brake lights/hi/lo etc to comply.
And Bike-Line / Markel is one of the very few (perhaps only?) insurance companies that doesn't assess the MCCA surcharge when insuring your dirtbike bike.... and for 2005 that fee is $140 per bike... on top of the premium!bbarel said:... Oh, and I used YZMANs insurance co www.bike-line.com and got a great rate.
My insurance company does the same (no MCCA) and these bikes ARE insured as street legal. But I'm not going to bring this to their attention..Smit-Dog said:And Bike-Line / Markel is one of the very few (perhaps only?) insurance companies that doesn't assess the MCCA surcharge ... Now if you do have a street legal bike, you should really be paying this, but I'll stop now...
