I feel the same about electric vehicles Bob their pushing how much better they are for the environment like they did with diesels and 20 years later their worse than petrol engines. so in 20 years i'm expecting there will be something stupid about EV batteries being more difficult to dispose of than plutonium

Yes but you have to split the crankcase to change the crank or use the TRX motor but their like rocking horse shit I've been looking out for one for years but i have never seen one for sale, their farm quads here but the farmers wont sell anything. That was the same with the XR's only kit as well This kit from Poland is just change the flywheel and cover and its done
-
Thanks @Pedro i'm going to find out as much as i can about how reliable the kit is and will spares be available in the future before i make a decision. According to their page they do ship to the UK
-
I haven't tried that hard @Pedro i'm just thinking of future proofing the bike, there's going to come a time when i cant kick start this could keep me on it

I've been trying to get in touch with a company that make electric start kits for the 400 and 650r located in Poland. the mechanical part can be fitted in 30 minutes just leaving you the wiring to fit I've messaged them but they haven't got back to me. https://www.facebook.com/314380265706363/posts/sweet-option-for-honda-xr-400r-electric-start-kitall-parts-for-engine-and-12-dc-/679746072503112/

Ahh right, they do an electric start xr250L as well not sure how available they are though, the 400 has a knack to starting it once you get it it's easy to kick
-
Yes your right about that i remember the guys i was riding with saying they thought i was going to stall when going up a steep climb i went down to almost tickover to reduce wheelspin and then pulled away
-
We are both wrong it surprised me the serow is that heavy my mate was always bleating on at me how light his was the xr250 is lighter at 104kg https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/Honda/honda_xr250r_01.html
-
I've just checked and its 106 dry and the 400 is 116 dry and 125 wet so about 10kg difference cant find a wet weight for the 250 though but it carries the same amount of oil and fuel
-
If your thinking of trail riding, it wont be as manageable as the Serow in the rough stuff but you can kill yourself a lot faster on it
-
I have one its about 6kg heavier and 10mm taller than the 250 haven't ridden the 250 but i love the 400 its a good do all bike but it is tall there are lowering links available. Biggest issue with buying one is the prices are soaring as with all the XR range

I think that's called whiskey throttle ?

I'm offended by you thinking i need to be offended

From what a few mates have told me here in the UK there's a bit of snobbery goes on as they were sent to the back out the way because they didn't fit the description
-

-
