I go through a set of pads a year.

alot of the really dark stuff is from my dad's jeep, first time it was ever done was a couple years back and its an 87 :busted:

I use a lot of rear brake, but I use the front more, a little bit of front brake will help keep the front end planted in ruts.

Unless you wheelie through turns Because you rip a FAF500 with a gripper seat.

the XR200 is an awesome trail bike, i would say it is far from dual sport material, it has no power. I would say even the XR250 isn't really dual sport material. The XR200 has something like 15hp, and is only a 5 speed. the 250 is a little closer with a 6 speed, but still under powered at only 20hp. the smallest post-'96 XR that I would say is dual sport capable is the 400, it has 30hp and gobs more torque than the 200 or the 250. :thumb:

Although, I will say, the 200 for a pitbike.. you definitely came out on top!

Not my bikes!
My oldest sons friend bought a TR225 for 900 bucks, has no clue how to ride, destroys the right cover and clutch pack/pressure plate bolts etc. Bike was left at my house for two weeks. (like I am the dumping ground or something). Finally shows up yesterday with son to fix it after getting all the parts. These two are clowns, bike wont start, has no clutch action. I ended up pulling the side cover and checking their work, adjusting the pressure plate, pull the carb and making the kid clean the dried on goo, clean all the jets, and supervised him putting it back together. Fires right up and runs perfect now. Kid shoves me $45.00 bucks for my help.. Now thats a kid that appreciates help. My son would just think its expected, like the entitlement kid he thinks he is.
Me, I am just happy I have one less bike in my yard.
Now all I need is his other buddy to show up with $780.00 to pay me for rebuilding his YZ.... Might just end up keeping it.

I've been going through the loop with the rear brake, finally got it to bleed and work like it should, I would have never thought brake line material would change the characteristics but its more reactive with the stainless steel.

I had my suspension shop rebuild the rear shock, fluid was wasted at 16 hours and there were a couple o-rings in the bladder that had been flattened.

Put it all back together, changed the oil, oil filter, cleaned and oiled the air filter, rode it yesterday, might ride it again today, even 2 weeks away and I start to lose my mind.
