- I got the hole-shot, then got shut down on the third corner by Jim Clark who thought the trail went straight until I started turning right! this caused my bark-buster to interfere with my throttle (cruise-control sucks for races!)
Most of us on my line avoided the extreme section fearing the traffic jams that occur when only one good line up a steep section exists.
The go-around section was packed with stuck riders but the xr400 made it's way through easily for the most part .
I hit the last tree on the track but still made out in third place!
Thanks for watching and commenting!! and blow me thumbs downers!!!!

Sir you're a beast driving, you got all my respect.
The 400 absolutely destroys everyone else on the hill climbs and tight technical sections, and can hold its own everywhere else on the track too. Gotta love that smooth torque!
great race man
you passed plenty of smokers.
you 're ripping on that XR
Just bought one xr 400 97 It's was always my dream, late but im very happy
You are great rider🤟🏻
Thanks for your support!!! and good luck with the PIG!!!
best part is that XR will still be running on the same engine in 15 years...
+Bryan Couture Thanks for watching Bryan!
let's see here...15 years...+...42 years....= holy shit i'll be old as the dirt itself !!!
Thanks for motivating me to go kick ass and take names while the sun is shining!
braaaaaaaap!
That's me cheering you on at 19:04 and 24:10! Sorry for almost hitting you haha. You were rippin'!
I love my XR400, I made the mistake of selling my first one. Still my main dirt / dual sport bike.
I love how you passed all the two strokes on that big hill in the beginning while they were spinning there butts off that was priceless! Then when you get on the trails the big thumper is just chugging along not even breaking a sweat, great riding man!
Thanks man i needed a good smile!
Dude great hole shot! I love showing guys up on the really expensive new bikes on my old xr 250r. Ya put a smile on my face
Wow. Just wow. Thanks for posting this. Just got my XR finished, & this made me sweat, cant wait to get out there again. We have very similar enduros courses in the UK
Xrs forever. Show everyone how us East coasters can rip through anything.
I thoroughly enjoy these videos. I just got back into riding and I picked up a clean ‘01 XR400R. I grew up on XR’s. In my 40’s now and the only prt that’s scary is the kickstart. My old buddies are on Husky’s now. I may end up on one too, but not as long as this XR keeps rocking!
The best dirt bike ever built ! Compliments to the rider a proper rider !
+Tim Parr
Thank you very much Tim!!!
MOTO -ON............
You are killing it in the XR! Man I love it how you absolutely destroy that nasty rock/sand hill while everybody else is picking up their little 2-strokes!
+Wayne Walker Thanks for the kind words and for subscribing!
Got to pin it to win it!
Braaaaap!
I'm saving up for an xr 4 hunge, can't wait , bullet proof beast. Awesome riding bro , wicked track . Like the way you pressured old mate on the wr to go off the track on lap 2 haha.
+grantoyamaha Thanks for the interest !
Careful what you wish for...this bike is heavy
You should up your physical training regiment far in advance of getting this bike!!!
Just kidding sometimes the weight helps with momentum
Good luck with it!!!!!!!!
Nice riding XR buddy. Like the way you give a shout-out to the slow guys
I really enjoy you ripping past the smokers on the hill climb.
I love watching races I was in. Different class but same day! Awesome video, good riding!
thanks for watching!!!
Laughing so hard at the guy falling off the trail at 8:25
Looking for this comment :D I didn't laugh hard the guy fell, but damn, it was epic ahah
He yells at the guy and he panics off the trail, too funny! Gooo !!!
Me too. This guy rides it like he stole it.
i wouldn't want to be him!!
Stupid spot to expect somebody to let you pass, I'd be looking for you.
You are a beast riding dude, got my 22 crf450rx stolen from my garage, its gone... Just got a 99xr400r and hope I can ride like this 😄
Thanks Kade! I just got robbed as well, the fuckers took a pew pew and other things from my camp in Maine. The worst part is feeling like a fool by making it too easy for them.....The coming trap for them is this......
Buy 2 air pods remove the speaker from one leave both in something so when they get notified by their phone that they are being tracked they find the intact air pod pinging they throw it away and dis-regard the notification giving you time to grab your friends and track his ass
Good luck with the PIG she's a good bike!
Terrific racing! I love this guy! Goooo! Move! Just owning the track with that 300lbs beast! Goooo Yamaha Goooo ! KTM ! No it's a Honda!!!! Loved it!
The bike is getting worked, but you almost can't tell because of the video perspective. This reminds me of Georgetown where I took my xr recently. It performed great 😮
Your a Beast on the old XR400 Great Riding. I have a 98 XR 400 I bought brand new sitting in My Garage nothing like the lugging power on these bikes.
Thanks for the compliment man!
I was welding the old girl as you were typing this I will have her up and running soon …hopefully..
That Honda 400 4-stroke, sure beats the sound of those ringadingding 2-strokes
This was awesome!! That course looks like it would be a blast, and watching you blow past all those 2 smokers was cool as hell. I'm glad I found this video!
Thanks Bro!
I'm glad you found it too!
I've got 4 races left this season,be sure to check them out. I will be pushing hard for first place this season it should be interesting to watch!
Welfare States 15:36 smoker blows by your guy. Like he was standing still. That kid is fast.
@@mikelyons7511 Hey thanks for watching
And I waved him on….twice to pass me lol!
And yes those young kids are wicked fast!!
@@solartherm you did an awesome job brotha! I know they're fast young and no fear like we used to be in the day. But you ride the pants off that 400. Love your video's it was awesome I'm the guy that told you 7 months ago "You meet the nicest people on a Honda"
@@solartherm that was a really good commercial back in the day.
That thumper is a beast.Great ride.
+Douglas Baumann It sure is!
Thanks for the compliment Douglas!
Awesome man, i've had the same bike few years ago and love it so much for my trail riding.
Thanks man ! have a good one!!
Dude, you just destroyed that hill over and over where a lot guys were just stuck lol. Dope riding!
Runs into slower rider
GOOOOOO!
That was awesome👌
Awesome vid I love priming before the start the old xr way
i love the way you burn all these brand new bikes wich are so called the best.
love your ride love your xr ;)
+Grégoire Balandraud Merci for the belle comments G!
XR400’s are such great trail bikes.
You beyond a doubt had a huge advantage one the 2 strokes on that steep loose hill.
Yea the xr loves climbing I just wish that i went for the shorter sand climb this moto…it was too easy!
thanks for watching!!
Wow again! Some lightning fast forest straights there! It was like being on a speeder-bike :)
+mightlife Thanks mightlife!
what the gopro can't show is the roots on that straight that are race ending if you go over them wrong!
Thanks for commenting!
Climbs that hill like a tractor, while the 2 strokes were digging trenches like a rotor tiller.
Man you're really good. I'm considering getting into motorbikes, I didn't know trails in real life got to be so small, and narrow
Thanks Rod!!
Yea racing in the trails is pretty dangerous as is at the motocross track.
having said that…. just cruising along on the trails or at the track can be a really enjoyable activity and staying within your limits means that you will probably stay uninjured
Buy a beater and some gear and just do it!
mostly everyone I’ve ever met dirt biking has been really nice,down to earth people
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Really great Vid! Long live the XR's
Hi,nice video , xr400 r rules ! and yeah funny when the boy fell down,go go ! I hope he was ok
Thanks for watching and commenting CRF!!
legend has it he’s still lost somewhere on that 50 degree slope( that is full of underground hornets nests)
i’m goofing off now.i should be getting ready for the arcadia bark buster’s 24hr race in new york this weekend
BRAAAAAAAAP!
You meet the nicest people on a Honda ☺
I’ve been wanting to write that somewhere…
Thanks for doing it for me!
back to bike prep for Sunday
Love the XR line more that I’m older, I used to ride IT’s and the like, but a big thumper is the way to go, especially if you like to ride it everywhere, a dual sport is the best $ you’ll ever spend on a bike, and at 50-60mpg I’ll leave the vehicle parked.
Unless its some goon on a crf
Absolutely awesome riding
You did the xr proud👍
What a beast! Great rider too!
verry nice video, awesome rider!! damn!, you are fast!! i had one 98 xr 400, and yes, those bike are fun, reliable, solid and torky!!
Thanks I'm getting the pig ready for the last race of the season, held at Southwick tomorrow
Thanks for the nice comment!
would you mind telling me what's all done to your xr4?
Good job in the gnarly barley sections!!
Just bought one a 2003 street legal!!! Nice hole shot!
Amazing race bro!!!
wuauu, exelente maquina y excelente piloto. felicitacione!!!
Thanks BETO!!
amazing pilot on 400 xr
Nice job on the XR. Imagine how much faster you would be standing up.
What a freaking beast!!
Racing like that makes me proud to be an XR owner 😁
BRAAAAAAAA AH PIKEY
I know it sounds stupid but I just have to ask, what do you think of having the XR400 as a daily commuter? Been thinking a lot about it the last days.
Incredible riding!
The worse the terrain gets the more the XR400 shines. Wish i never sold mine with the Edelbrock carb and high compression 440 kit was a monster!
You're insane! Awesome riding, you really know how to ride that xr.
+CrippledRippah711
Thanks RIPPAH!! you and your friends should do a Jday
put the gear on the truck and head to southwick this weekend
+solartherm I'll provide the bologna sandwiches
+solartherm hahaha I was thinking about racing at a few but I never got around to going. I might do a few next year though. Maybe I'll see you there! I wouldn't be able to keep up though that's for sure
Great Techniqe great ride XR400 badd ass ktm and other more power . Very Nice !!
+I.C.E xxx Thank you triple x !!!!
Good job man , well done!
Thanks Matt!
great first lap mayhem. how wide do you run your bars to fit through the trails for theese events?
Standard width,whatever that is
I might get the flex bars which are like 2 inches narrower
You need to act quickly when you know that you won't fit straight on!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting Mark!!!
I know, older video. But, Solar, where is this enduro race?!?! I would love to partake.
This race was held at one the oldest hill-climb venues in the country... Monson Massachusetts .
Sadly our race series doesn’t go there anymore
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Subscribed!!!!!!
i LIKE your riding style ! agressive
Thanks man and thanks for watching!!!
Hey solartherm nice riding, getting ready for my first harescramble ever I too have an xr curious what your gearing setup is and what gear did you launch from for the holeshot keep the old girl flying thanks
+Jim Rust (jrusty) Hey Jim Thanks for watching and good luck with your race!!!
My gearing is 14x48 (longer chain needed) and 2 gear start is the optimal gear for my bike
what size xr do you have? where are you racing?
+solartherm Racing in Portland, Michigan 2001 xr 400 thanks for the tips and best wishes I need it lol
Mike Smith....can it compete? Did you see the video? I'd say with the right rider.....ya....it competes very well. Great vid. You got skills there man.
Thanks Mitch!!!!!!
I laughed my ass off when you yelled at the guy at 8:23. LMAO you made him nervous and off the trail he went.
Awesome keep that beast in the podium! ;)
I can’t wait to get my gasket kit for the lower end
and get the pig squealing again!!!
BRAAAAAP!!
excelente muy buen piloto y la xr 400 inmejorable. saludos
Wish i still had my 400R i ride the same a bit layed back now unlike when i use to race super cross.
DUDE! you haul bologna sandwiches on that thing! love it!
+Spencer Marzello Thanks Spencer
You just gave me the munchies!! !mustard only brappaapppp
Super, bravo !!!
Very good ride,u r skillfull and experienced driver. Very nice bike.
I'm bying one i two days ,it's mileage is 20.000 km. I love xr.
How much miles ur xr have passed ?
I ask only cause in my country there is no parts for this bike, i'm in Europe.
Dude's a beast...
Dang, that hill in the first 1/4 mile!
Xr 400 gang! What mods do you have on that bad boy, can’t be stock?? Awesome riding also! Passing those 2 jokers makes me stiff as a board
Hey thanks for the compliments! the only notable mods are magura clutch and lectron carb , im not sure if i had the new jug and piston frome niche yet on this video. have a good one !!!!!!
I k ow this video is old. But that xr is a best 😎😎
Damn that hill climb in the beginning where every one got stuck gave me anciety
Hey Thanks for watching my video! I’m close to 1000 subs which would allow me to live stream a race
So please hit da button and help me out
Thanks!!
I have an XR400 and I’ve never been able to ride it like that. Lol
Damn thats a brutal track
Thanks, enjoyed watching this! Excuse my numpty ignorance, but is this enduro racing or motocross?
Thanks for watching Wonky i'm glad you liked it!
It would best be described as a "Hare scramble "and don't ask me where that name comes from!
Muito bom tenho uma igual a 22 anos grande máquina
can you compare the 400r to the xr600r?
Eu fuii no teu capacete, pilota muito
Only watch the first 3 min and that is a hella tough course !
you should use two fingers for clutch. besides that, excelent ride!!!
Is this in vt.? Ever ride with the cycle conservation club in vt.?
No this race was in Monson mass at the oldest hill-climb venue around, I’m ready to drop last weekend’s race that was held in pownal VT.
Never heard of CCC. Thanks for watching
XR hill climbing beast get out of the way love it
nice bike sir
Well done!!
Thanks Marcel!!!!
THE KIMG OF XR 💪😎
Uau... Very nice!!!!!
+Arnaldo Carmelo
Muito obrigado
BRAPPPPPPPPPP

+Stephen Johnstone

BBBBBBBBBBRAPPBABABRAPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!t
Thanks for watching!!!!!!!
Just do it man!
+solartherm Is this a stock bike? do u have a hydraulic clutch? big bore? are u superman ;-)? I hope some ride my xr4 half as u do it!!
+Traian Basescu Thanks for the nice comment Traian!
The xr is mostly stock, I do have a hydraulic clutch and a mikuni pumper carb also smaller counter-sprocket and larger sprocket
Thanks for watching!
Nice work. Third place on an old XR400 is impressive. It may not have the most modern suspension or fuel injection, but it's still a rock-solid bike. Just goes to show that riding skill is a waaay bigger factor than the bike. Well done.
Thanks for the nice comment Lektro!!!
Just out of curiosity, are you running stock suspension or is it modded?
front has proper springs for my weight and race tech gold valves
rear has been untouched since factory installed it
I need to fix the pig only 2 weeks till first race!!! thanks for watching!
Cool man. I ride an XR250 myself. Just trail riding, though. No racing. Best of luck this season!
Holy crap! that is some impressive riding! I watched this vid because I am considering "downgrading" from a modern high maintenance high $$$ enduro bike, I now have no doubts. Have you done much to the Engine/Suspension?
+Hamish Brown Thanks for the nice comment Hamish!
I've put new heavier springs and race-tech gold valves in the forks
The engine is all stock with a mikuni pumper carb
be careful what you wish for this pig is strong and heavy!!!
+solartherm Thanks mate will have to look into those mods in the future.
@@solartherm hey have a few questions for you on the xr 400. What was you’re starting technique? I want to race my 98XR 400 and the vintage hare scrambles but I’m worried about getting a good start. Did you have any tricks ?
Just finished re-building my XR400 prefer it to my KTM400! Gonna hit the dirt hard.
Take her to the moon and back Buzz!!!!
3.....2....1.....brapppppppppppppp
How do you get the holeshot on an xr400? hahahah
Whatsa better xr 400 or pulsar ns?
everyone got stuck on that hill at some point,that race took some skill
Thanks Sheppard!
Epic pileup 😂😂👍🏽
XRs for life
