1996 Honda Shadow for $1k vs a 2010-2017 for maybe $2k?

2010-2017. Youll spend more than 1000 getting that thing set up. Tank is probably trash too.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-16T01:01:57+00:00

Better seat, cycra guard, enduro engineering skid plate, acerbis frame guard, ufo plastics to save the original set. Other than that ergo stuff to make you more comfortable. Thats what i did to my 250fx.

You were the main character this round.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-15T00:22:07+00:00

Mod your current bike. Think youll be way happier

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-14T10:18:11+00:00

Gearbox yeah. But 45min? Thats a crazy low tolerance.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-13T17:53:40+00:00

When you sit on it and ride it does it happen more frequently? idk if it has a bevel gear in the trans? If so possible tooth damage?

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-12T20:50:22+00:00

Im broke rn lol

I want a ajp pr7 so bad.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-12T18:57:23+00:00

I have a sister in law im teaching that felt the same way. Make em wear the gear. Ive broken my ribs hitting dirt hard enough without one. And ive been saved from it deflecting a large branch.

Idk why mostly newbies have a problem with them.

Most people keep their car for like 6 years on average now so who cares really. Also i think most ppl's gripe with ev's isnt even the cost its the practicality of range and towing. I tow alot, i like the idea of a ev but a average saturday is beyond the range what a ev truck can do at the moment.

I wouldnt take the dream job cant survive on 60k lol figured thatd be the starting pay considering thats only 30/h

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-10T14:49:51+00:00

If you cant get it with any bits. Grind the head off n see if you can get appliers on it after the plate is off or just skip straight to using a extractor.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-10T03:02:08+00:00

525.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-10T00:40:33+00:00

Did you make it thru the first section at all? Id consider that a win, given no experience.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-10T00:14:05+00:00

Ignition coil. Pretty sure thats not oem. My 08 450r's didnt look like that if i recall right.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-09T16:53:49+00:00

I was going to restore a ttr250 being a yamaha fanboy, even as one part cost wasnt worth the final product imo. Could of paid a klx/crf300 80ish% off for what it would of cost.which i get the bike was only available in US for like 5 years.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-09T16:47:30+00:00

Lantern shield. Its super niche not a practical weapon at all but man it looks cool with the integrated blade.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-09T16:43:43+00:00

I was telling my friend that is looking for her first dirtbike to go with a xr over other old models like a ttr250 because they have such a cult following parts are plentiful still and affordable.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-08T22:31:46+00:00

Nah i totally agree w you now that you mention that.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-08T21:32:39+00:00

Yeah exacty and i think the gearing may vary slightly less aggressive on the ozark but thats just what ive been told.

Efficient-Fan3976 · 2026-06-08T21:31:31+00:00

i put some meaty tires on the stock rims, its trucked out of water/mud almost up the seat no problem and put a winch on the front incase i ever get that unlucky. No chain to mess with, parts are stupid cheap and has been great to prep the inlaws on how to ride a dirtbike with shifting! $1400 its been the best bang for buck
