My brother rides a 2012 500 exc on the pavement. Never heard anything about a serial number. Gateway sales in Rocky has one on there showroom floor right now with the kit installed. You are limited with what tires you can use but as long as she has mirrors, horn, signals, tail light.... Your golden. Lots of them running around here on the roads.

The EXC is sold as a dual sport so it is legal from day 1. Ive heard that it has to be designated as highway legal from the manufacturer or you cant do it. Even if it is retrofitted with all of that stuff.

Apparently you can not convert a race bike over such as an SX or YZ. It has to already be an enduro bike such as the exc

I am going to inquire about it when I register this bike. I check the old registration this morning and it does say ohv so I don't think I can do it easily but doesn't hurt to ask. Maybe she types it in wrong. Ya never know lol. I would love to have a street legal 500 but cost is too high for me so the 250 will have to do.

I just mix 25ml oil to 1 L fuel. I've used Amsoil for yrs and yrs. In the streetbikes I've used Castrol Motorcycle oil for 20 plus yrs. Use it in dirtbikes too. As long as your changing your oil regularly, engines are happy with any oil that has the correct standards.
I did a valve check on my SV 650 when it hit 50 000km recently and there was very little wear, everything in spec and the plugs are still newish looking, which blew me away. That little bike will rev high all day long every day for yrs it seems. I just use what has worked for me. Been running the Amsoil in the 800 Etec for yrs now so the 300 is no problem.
Plus Ive never heard anything bad about the Rekluse 2.0 EXP.

[togo ripper]

I want a bike like that so bad 250 xc-w be a lot easier to ride off road than my cr250

 

[the_real_wild1]

Actually I have a white front fender with it but it is cracked. I am going to get another one as I love the white fenders too. This is the pic he had on kijiji.

Both these bikes are same year 300's. Mines an XC-W, my friends is a XC. Different set up and plastics. Mine handles the off road riding, in my opinion, superior. I don't like the closer ratio gearbox and the harder suspension of the XC as much. It's a beautiful bike but I've been lucky enough to ride them back to back. But then again I don't jump canyons. Lol.

 

[the_real_wild1]

Damn I like that white. I rode the xc in Maui. I liked it but I did find the suspension harsh. But again it wasn't set up for me. Just jump on and ride.

 

[meatbag]

It's a kit right from the accessories cat. The clear tank he bought used. He hardly rides the thing tho. Probably has 20 hrs on it.

 

[the_real_wild1]

Well it on the hoist. Took the cover off the starter and I'm glad I ordered the new 410w starter already. Found the first issue. Of many I think. Lol

[meatbag]

Ooooh, gooey! Lol.
Written while eating bacn' and eggs on toast.
Obviously the starter button was hit while running. Lol.
I used to have the EXACT lift when I was wrenching. I remember having a Sportster on and I was running it. I couldn't believe how much it vibrated. As I revved it up I watched all my tools vibrate off the lift to the floor. Can't believe people rode those things! Lol. Talk about numb hands. Good little lift tho.

 

[meatbag]

Here's another of the 09 200 XC-W I got new. Clean enough for inside! Lol
The other is my friends 08 XC250. Look, no starter!

 

[meatbag]

I found good additions are Seal Savers and an Enduro Line pipe gaurd, and I run a 13 tooth front sprocket. Always have. Can't go wrong with that

 

[the_real_wild1]

I think I am getting the seal savers for sure. Maybe a pipe guard. Never had one before or needed on. But that could change

 

[meatbag]

look at that pic of the bent pipe I posted earlier. It'll save your pipe, most times.
