Teflon lined cable.Originally Posted by nzspokes
My rear is fine but the front I pull it and nothing happens.
Wont hold it coming off the trailer even.
They gave us a non-lined cable to start with and you couldn't do a thing with it.

In my experience, the XR's are great if you don't want to get last.Whats up Nordie? are you like the SPCA or cats protection league for XR's, making sure they are well homed and cared for.
There are better options, yes, but if you're on a budget...
If Chris Birch is willing to do the Dakar on an XR250 then it should be good enough for anyone.

Jesus, you're like a dog with a bone...
But as budget keeps coming up with this whole XR thing (and ignoring that the OP has enough for a decent bike, whatever that will be), those XRs aren't cheap for what they are... probably because there are plenty of guys out there my age that remember when the old red and blue XR250s were the coolest bike to have and us not so well-off types could only make do with an XR200, with a drum brake front and only one carb... so our fond memories are probably keeping the prices for decent ones pretty strong... in fact I've nearly hit buy now on a few over the last couple of years (before I came to my senses and went back to looking at porn).

So what else could I have got in a trail bike that goes strong for $600?Jesus, you're like a dog with a bone...

Not everybody has a huge budget.

See that's the thing, the XR is a decent bike.Jesus, you're like a dog with a bone...

It's a basic bike that just keeps going and if it does break down out on a track it is easily fixed with minimal tooling. (in 11 years mine never has)
It all comes down to personal preference, I hate 2 smokers but to some they are the tops, I don't bag them because of it.
I will stand by what NB said If Chris is doing the Dakar on one that's good enough for me.

Thats no a bad idea.Hydraulic line to the drum brake?

He may be modifying it a little to look and handle just like a KTM450 but in essence it's an XR...
Orange is just faded red after all...

Not sure if you noticed, but you're not the OP, so this should be about his budget, not yours... jeez this place isn't all about you, you know...

Um yes, was wondering about that one, considering he is indeed riding a KTM450 rally bike in the Dakar. Mind you, the article I read had a pic of Levi Sherwood with "Chris Birch in action" under it...
