My go to easy loop featuring Forest Service roads: www.relive.cc/view/vPOpWGx84Ev This ride features three forest service roads, 058, 132 & 27, and never disappoints. The XT250 shines in its native habitat. I wear lighter gear for this road blast with no single track. Today the forecast was ominous, but the ride turned out to be a joy ride. All good, all day.

    It would be interesting to see before and after cylinder temperature in high ambient temperatures up long grades or in headwind on highway to see if this type of mod which blocks air flow actually affects engine cooling. Old air cooled off road bikes had high fenders and less sophisticated materials in the engine than the XT. No I don’t have measuring equipment to test this either lol. Thanks for the video.

    • @XT250allday
      @XT250allday 5 месяцев назад

      I don’t think there will be a difference & looking at a new Yamaha TT-R 230 made up my mind to do this front fender mod. Should be plenty of air flow still going around the engine and past the cooling fins after this mod. But yes, it would be interesting to measure.

    Hi - I enjoy your XT videos. Will blocking cooling air flow to the engine with the “dirt bike” front fender mod be less than ideal if you ride at high throttle settings in hot weather? Like uphill on roads? I see people raising the lower piece off the tire with brackets for mud.

    • @XT250allday

    Love my 2008 XT250. It had set up for a couple of years and I had to do some carb work when I first got it. It had a slight dead spot on tip in after getting it running but after seeing the air filter had been replaced with a K&N I ordered a new Yamaha replacement and it cured the hesitation. I now have a good bike that has only 4100 miles on it. I have been riding big street bikes for 50 years and this bike is my absolute favorite. It’s so easy to manage and it will go anywhere you want if you can handle it. Gonna put some more different tires for a smoother and safer street ride as I have to ride pretty far to get to the trails I ride on. Other than that it’s perfect for me and if I drop it I can pick it up without no problem. It’s a keeper.
