Mr Skid's weapon of mass destruction

Don't get me started on how shit 250 multi's are.

Suits me for now. Still would prefur a Husaberg Motard over it though, with S1 style twin exhausts (drool)

think seriously before putting a "berg on the road.
they are a thinly disguised MX bike.
they are not made for road use, motors carry very little oil, they need VERY regular engine strips blah blah blah...

the KTM lc4 is a much better if you want a euro supermoto.
a little heavier, but will take the pounding of street use.

just my 02 cents...

Since when has it been about praticality? It's all about image bro

See what you're getting at, but any motard I get I'll also be racing it. And I just like husabergs cause their engines look so simple. Although I did see an LC4 and thought it was bloody stunning, but it doesn't make a very good race bike as it has enduro gear ratios (doesn't it?).




They look good in Black don't they?

EDIT: Why won't they pics show up? All I'm getting is these hyperlinks

Do you mean the diaphram carb comes in at 4700rpm? I've just finished putting it back together after having a look at the carbs. It appears there is a screw to adjust at what throttle opening the second carb starts to open.. Might have a play with that at some point (when I've got the time and money to fix the bits I'll break).

Li'l Ratty has teh same setup (seems to be a Yamaha thing). SRX/XT/TT 250/400/600 all seem to have had it in one form or another. I spent some time fiddling with that screw, and finally settled for putting things back as I found them (phew , it still worked).

Damn weird system , classic example of being too clever by half. I've not been able to find anything decent on-line about how to tune them, if anyone knows of something a link would be gratefully received.

Have a chat to Motu's cat next time it's over. It mentioned the other day (after scratching my sofa) that there's a dynojet kit for the carbs.

For the right carb, it includes a set of drills so you can drill out the jets to your desired size- there are no aftermarket jets available. From what I've read on the tinkernet most people don't bother tuning the factory carbs, and instead replace them with something more common.

That LC4 is a fine looking machine.

Wheres my pic.

Nice one man! Congrats on the big XT!

[bugjuice]

Shot brutha, better bore out Slob's XR so you don't get run over in the corners now. (This is Sudeep after reading that comment > )

I've had a few instances away off the lights with a bit of clutch slipage where I've gone to steer the bike and realised that the front isn't quite in contact with the ground. Doing wheelies isn't my main aim in life, but I will say that lands much better than the cbr did.

Does ripping up Nhuan's lawn count as off-roading?
I've done some gravel roads between Kaukopakopa and Old North the other day, but I'm taking learning the bike slowly.

Foo, do you think I'm gonna let YOU know where I live

The M$ motobicycling identity crisis continues:
on the stretched rubber band sprot bike he thought it was a dirt tracker, now on a trailie he is more interested in chasing sprot bikes still - I'm sure the only grubiness on the XT is tar from the ROAD. Well that, plus the pilot on top....

[Mr Skid]

Yeah, that and your sister. It was easier to get rid of the tar though.

Looking forward to riding with you though! We should get ol Motu to come along as well. Would be cool to raid the sports bike party on dirty trailies!
