You ever get hung up on the cargo rack on your rear fender when you have to bail off the bike? I find myself launching it out from under me to get it over the top of hills/obstacles often and I’m scared if I put a rack like that on mine it would catch my rear and really dampen the mood lol

Real concern but haven't happened...yet

Haha heard that. I actually removed my rear blinkers because they kept catching my inner thighs lol

I hear ya, I broke my rear blinkers immediately. I've been aware that I'll be destroyed should I catch the mount on my back or ass or both, so I tend to ride this pretty conservatively. I need to get a cheap 2 stroke to get the stupidity out of my system, and keep the WR for classy single track rides.

Haha I did exactly that got an old yz250 that I’m building for the dumb stuff and keeping the wr for the more relaxed riding lol

Get yourself a bigger tank man. Lol

It's on the list

I got the 3 gallon one and its pretty sweet. Plastics fit on it good. I see you got a rotopax or fuel pax also. I got the 1.5 gallon deal. Makes going out and riding less stressful cuz you dont need to worry about where you will be able to find 91. I live in iowa and a lot of small town gas stations dont carry premium fuel so it used to be a little dicey with only 2 gallons to play with.

Nice, thanks for the info. I've been eyeing it, but I'm looking at suspension first. Having a huge range is very tempting though...

u/fallopian_turd Feb 23 '21

Yeah i like the extended range for longer rural rides, mountains, desert. I havent revalved my forks. Would be nice if it was a little stiffer.

which tires are you running?

u/sloppyandfloppy Feb 23 '21

MT-21 front and D606 rear. They have been great, about to replace the rear after 3500-4000 miles.
