Air cooled, fuel injection, simple valve adjustment, helmet lock, decent set of tools, strong proper length side stand, easy to maintain, good dealer support, low entry price…
When I watch too much yoo toob and dissatisfaction starts to set in a bit I go watch Mori san ride his (Mori TV) and realize I have some skills to learn yet that won’t be fixed by buying more of all the things ha ha
Thanks for the video - your XT is nicely set up for what you want.
Great information - it's a great little bike. I fitted bar risers on my 2019 XT250 - added 40mm and it made a big difference...
Nice rundown on your gear. I have the same style rack and it fit up very good. I went on an overnight camp in the woods and carried my Small Yeti Cooler and Sleeping bag on it. I have the Clear Parabellum Windshield that I really Like. Going for the Bark Busters and Skid Plate install over the winter in the shop. Cool.
I love watching your videos. I've been saving up for an xt for about 2 years. Should be able to acquire in about 1 year!! Used to do lots and lots of riding as a kid. Life has gotten in the way. Can't wait to get out there. Thanks for keeping me stoked!!
Absolutely, thanks for watching! I hope you get your XT sooner rather than later!
Love it. Thanks for sharing.
I got a 2022. I really enjoy the stock tires, I am on my 2nd set. I’ve been in it all, rain snow mud never a problem, I even did about 10miles in deep sand, we all struggled that day but they got me there and back. I got 6k out my first set, pretty good value for the money. The Trail Wing name covers many tires I don’t think the 301(G,F)/302 are the ones synonymous with the term death wings but I could be wrong.
Cool video.
I took your recommendations on tires and had new Tusk installed this week on my XT 250.
They look great, I haven’t gotten to try them out yet.
Waiting for trails to dry up in Warner Valley.
Really like the D Sports, have them on my XT250 and Honda CRF300L. They ride great in the desert terrain. Might be a minute before it dries...
Good stuff!
Thank you
You're welcome!
Nice!
Good video bro. Your XT250 is set up very much like mine. I also added a shifter mod to better accommodate riding boots.
Appreciate you watching!!
Shifter mod? Can you tell more?
Looking forward to hearing how you like the Seat Concepts seat foam/cover, when you get it installed. I’m using the Mad Dog ATV cover. It’s much better but probably not optimal.
My goal is to get an xt250 this fall. Gonna have to finance but I can’t wait to get one
Woot Woot I just bought a 2011 for 2 K aud today !
Pretty interesting you don’t want to improve the suspension any. That would be my first mod. Great videos btw!
Stock suspension hasn't bothered me thus far. However, I'm about to install a new tail rack and panniers to get set up for moto camping and once I get all the gear on the bike I may have to deal with the suspension.
@@precipiceofgrind Ive always eyeballed the modern XT250. The frugality and design is awesome. Definitely underrated. I do wish it had better suspension stock. As in adjustable. I have a 1983 XT250 that I’ve been modifying throughout the years. Like the modern XT its light and has a low seat height and grinds the technical terrain here in New England really well. I grafted a cartridge fork on it and its awesome. Sadly I was riding a few days ago and unknowingly put a hole in the oil filter cover. Didnt figure it out until the engine piston seized. Interestingly enough it started right back up but with no oil it is no bueno. And current busy life I dont have time at the moment to rebuild it. So I was thinking if getting a newer used XT. Im even flirting with getting a X-pro Templar X as reports seem favorable for the price. My riding buddies all have higher end Japanese and Euro enduros. I love having the underdog bike. Love your channel brother!
Thanks for making this video. I just subscribed. Rocky Mtn ATV website didn't have a Tusk DSport that was "machine specific' for my 2019 XT250. However, they sell a 120/90-18 and a 90/90-21. Are those the sizes you bought? Also, are these hard to install DIY? Thanks.
You're welcome, thanks for watching! Yes, those are the sizes and the tires are awesome! I run the same tires on my CRF300L and just got a new set to go on my DR650. I've heard they can be a pain to install due to thick side wall.
Also, I agree the install on that top rack sucked! I like the rack, but they left out the 8 washers they were supposed to include in the kit, and two of the spacers they had for mounting the rack onto the brackets were WAY too thick...there was no way they were gonna fit, so I just left them off. I also had to remove my helmet lock and leave it off for the rack to go on. I was highly annoyed by the end of it LOL.
Yeah, I was not impressed with the tail rack by PM. I'm going to swap mine out for a rack and panniers from Happy Trails after I deal with the seat swap. Think I'm going to go with the Corbin seat, a little more spendy than the Seat Concepts but I hear the SC seat doesn't do that great of a job. Until then, the Airhawk pad will have to do! Good job dealing with that rack install! I was spitting fire while trying to put mine on.
Thanks for the XT information. Which tank bag did you get? Nelson Riggs Trail End or Trail End Lite? The Trail End looks a little big. (I did look at your links.) I have a 2009 XT 250. I live with the carbs. The seat height is perfect for me (30 inch inseam). I'll keep mine for a long time since it's fun to ride in city and out on tougher trails. It is a putt putt bike. I'm not looking to race like some of my other friends. What is tough is living in Texas with dual sport - limited rides.
2016 Triumph Tiger 800 XC for the rest.
I got the Trails End Adventure. I'll be holding on to my XT250 for a long time, bike is just too much fun!
@@precipiceofgrind I got the Trail End Lite. Fits perfectly on XT. I thought the other would be too big. Thanks for replying
Great video, likely my next bike!
Is that actually a battery tender, or just a gauge and connector for a tender?
It's a tender. Appreciate you watching!
@@precipiceofgrind Wow, thanks. Smallest charger I have ever seen, by far. Brand?
Oh, sorry..meant to say connector for a tender.
You didn't say why you changed out the headlamp. Is the stock headlamp dim or the LED one is just way brighter and better to have? Thanks for the video
The Cyclops H4 Led light is much brighter than the stock, awesome light. I put one in my CRF300L, liked it so much that I switched out the XTs stock light too. Easy install, plug and play.
@@precipiceofgrind Thank you. I'll do that upgrade. I just picked up my 2023 model
Great video! Do the mirrors come with the correct adapters or did you have to buy them separately?
Appreciate you watching! The mirrors came with adapters.
@@precipiceofgrind Thanks! Also subbing! The XT250 content is exactly what I was looking for!
@@ShootingSportz Appreciate the support!!
I bought the same Acerbis hand guards. I understand how they attach, but I haven't seen anyone show how to do the part where it goes into the inside of the handlebar. I'm not mechanical so it's a small miracle I got the skid plate and top rack on, honestly. Is it hollow inside the handlebar? Is it metal? I see the expansion things that go in there but I'm slightly terrified to cut off the rubber on the bars....did you happen to do a video of you installing those? Thanks for all of these recommendations, by the way. I've basically copied most of what you've done!
No, I didn't do a video of the install but it really isn't that bad. Just take a razor blade (box cutter) and cut the ends of the throttle grips off. On the throttle you can use a paddle drill bit to cut the plastic out to be able to insert the hand guard screw. If you can deal with that tail rack then you can easily deal with the hand guards!
@@precipiceofgrind Okay. I have a regular drill...so I would just go buy a paddle drill bit to do this? Do you happen to know what size bit you used? Is it plastic inside the handle bar or metal? I saw someone on RUclips say it's metal inside. If this is all too much to answer, I get it....if I can't figure it out, I might take the bike in to a shop to get just this portion done. I'm afraid of messing up my throttle, honestly.
@@Wagongirl01 I think I used a 9/16 bit and it was plastic that was drilled out, not metal. It probably wouldn't cost much to have the dealership do it either, sometimes its worth the peace of mind.
@@precipiceofgrind Thank you so much!! Knowing it's plastic on the inside makes me feel better. I'll see what I can do =). Really appreciate your help!
I have the 2009 xt
What about suspension? Any mods to the front or rear? Do you fine them good enough? Plans?
Suspension is stock, so far works just fine for me. I'll see how it goes after I get the new tail rack and panniers installed and put some weight on the bike for a camp trip.
Hi! Can you please share which Parabellum windshield you bought? I have an XT250 and I clicked the link in your description, but it's not leading anywhere. I like the one you got, but I can't tell which one it is. Thanks so much! (I also bought the same hand guards, skid plate, master cylinder brake cover - appreciate the recommendations!)
I got mine from ProCycle, here's a link: procycle.us/product/2259-windscreen-parabellum-rally
Easy install.
Sweet!! Thank you so much!
@@Wagongirl01 You're welcome
What pannier rack do you have ?
I don't have a pannier rack on my XT250. I have a PM tail rack :amzn.to/3PyR4jW
I also have the Tusk Traverse panniers:amzn.to/48xgU0f
Don't need a rack for the Tusk Traverse panniers
Wanted to get the parabellum windscreen for the xt250, looks like 50 bucks for shipping a light piece of plastic??
Is that from the Parabellum site? Man, that's spendy. Check Procycle.
@@precipiceofgrind Yeah that was straight from parabellum, I double checked with them too, GA to IDAHO was 57 bucks. But you're right Procycle is much cheaper on shipping. Thanks a ton!
Where can I buy the tusk d sports
Rocky Mountain ATV
Top speed??
I've had at 70 mph in tail wind downhill.
I'm just curious why anyone would buy the dinosaur of the xt250 when the Honda 300l and the klx300 are just a few hundred dollars more.. I personally prefer liquid cooled especially in a desert environment
Some people are into dinosaurs
I have had ktm and husky as my former bikes. Both technologically superior to any of these bikes. But I wanted something low tech but super reliable. I now have a xt650l and a xt250. Both old school which means super reliable and easy to maintain at a lower price point.
Seat height. Xt is good for shorter riders
I bought the XT 250 because I’m short and old fart.
The simplicity of air cooled is something to respect. I live in the desert. Vegas. I never had a problem with any of my air cooled bikes if you use common sense. You just have a reason to take a break once in a while.
