for lifting the front wheel, you can fit a strong rod through the front spindle and attach 2 bobbins at each end, then any paddock stand will work.

Tried mine offroad yesterday
Tried mine offroad yesterday bit dissapointed ive fitted TKC 80s sump guard 14 tooth front sprocket and done the TPS airbox and Mixture mods the bike is not bad on road but off its a different beast alltogether,
although on road the snatchyness of the injection seems almost gone off road it is very appearent that its still there almost impossible to scuttle along in 2nd without masses of jerkiness, the TKC80s seem alive they squirm and throw you sideways for no reason the steering is vauge to say the least and all in all not a very good day, 1st time ive come off on a trail in 3 years, I recently sold my XR650R as it was kick start only but an extreme offroader it had a set of ITC tyres ill try to get a set of them and fit them to the XTR normally the two guys I offroad with are left in my wake yesterday they were having to wait for me one on a DRZ400 the other on a TTR600 maybe im running the tyres with too much pressure in them as the DRZ was running at 20 rear and 18 front im up around the 26 mark front and rear which is what Yamaha recommend What do you guys recon |

Adventureboy,
If you're serious about the greenlaning thing then you will need to get a more purposeful bike. I used my XT660R for greenlaning last year and had a good time on it but it was too heavy to make me do it another year. I bought a 2nd hand DRZ400E (lighter and more powerfull than the DRZS and SM). I can now ride faster, fall off a lot less and when I do I can pick the bike up no probs. I have no worry about denting the metal tank or rounding the underside on rocks. I ride in a national group ( http://www.trf.org.uk/) and you would be surprised to know that some people ride 15bhp 125 or 200cc machines. While these are not as cool as the latest KTM/CRF/WR competition bikes, they are light enough and low powered enough to use in the wet, mud, bog etc. Don't get me wrong, I loved my XTR but now that I have my DRZ for trail use, I'll never go back to anything over 130kg or without an 18 inch rear for proper tyre choice.
