Spoke with my credit union’s wallet

Credit Unions are awesome.

Awesome bike!

Does it have the Xplor suspension on it? Anybody know how that stuff handles aggressive off road riding from an A level rider?

Congrats!

Make sure you grease everything before you get it dirty..swing atm pivot, linkage and headstem.
Easier when it new and clean

A friend of mine is enjoying his 350. I want to give it a spin.

Congratulations! Keep riding!

I'll be honest, I have no idea if it does have it or not. If it does, I certainly won't be able to provide A level feedback either lol

Edit: Just went out in the garage and checked and it does have that shock

Yeah I'm not a fan of how far it hangs down.

PJRAUS - I plan too this weekend when I have free time. In the mean time, I'm going to ride it into work as long as the weather is nice the next few days.

I had to run into work for a meeting but was greeted with a nice envelope from my CU in it so I scrambled to find a ride at the last minute to no avail. So I grabbed my helmet and started walking lol. It’s only 1.8 miles do it wasn’t bad. Plus, if I didn’t get it today, it would have to wait until Monday and I think I would’ve been “sick” in the next few days

Of course as I was finishing up the paperwork, my sister called and ask me to help her out with a leak and blockage in her kitchen sink so I didn’t get to play much.



My initial impression is that it’s very quiet and I’m definitely going to open things up and let her breathe get a little more power out of it. I think it’s going to be really fun once that is done. I can totally see putting super moto wheel on it being an absolute blast! It feels very light, but my other street bike is a 15 Dayna Wide Glide so compared to that, it is.

If anyone has any tips/tricks with these bikes, let me know.

Congrats!

First thing you gotta do is get a knobby if you aren’t going on the freeway. The pirelli scorpion XC is good. If you plan on riding at night get the Baja designs HID kit it makes a huge difference. Enduro Engineering radiator guards/braces if you plan on bashing it. I’m not sure about how this years model works as far as a desmog goes, but there’s kits out there that really unclog these bikes. huge difference right there. Also I would change the gearing if I planned on serious trail riding. It’s pretty tall stock.

Congrats on the new bike. Dual sports are a blast!

Thanks! This is my first dual sport and modern 4 stroke. The only other 4-stroke I rode was an XR200 back in the 90’s. The game plan with tires is to have a set for off-road and a super moto set for the road because I will ride it to work on nice days. First order of businesses is to desmog it and let her breathe. It feels like there’s more to be had and everything I have read says so (it’s on the internet so it must be true lol). I’ll check out that Baja HID kit because you can’t have too much light at night.
