Anyone modded out their xt? I’ve had a 2013 for a couple years now, lookin to mod it out but having trouble finding aftermarket parts or even other builds online for inspiration

New rider. Thought getting a stand would be a simple decision but that’s crazy talk.

I won’t be doing any serious work just routine maintenance so one of these 5 should work, yeah? Looking at the Rick Racing RR-1 Ride on lift stand. Basically roll onto it and it jacks itself up. Anyone use it or recommend anything else?

I can get my hands on a really cheap wr250 exhaust, just wondering if anyone has put one on their xt250?

I've seen vids for fmf and delkevic, but really struggling trying to find anything for the wr250 stock.

I won't be changing the header pipe. I know I may need to modify the wr250 exhaust and also put a spacer in the mount point.

Any advice or help is much appreciated.

2009 XT 250. Online schematics list it as "pipe," but what does it do?

Hi all. Just bought a 2018 and had it inspected. Said it was tip top. Got it home, cracked open a manual and was looking at the oil window and apparently this thing has little to no oil in it. I can’t find pics of what it’s supposed to look like and it’s really hard to see. Is this empty? Either the inspector is a liar or I’m blind.

I guess I could just do an oil change and see what comes out. It’s not due though at 3k miles but couldn’t hurt. Feel stupid posting this but whatever.

Anyone know of any places/websites I could potentially find some used or cheap plastics for a 2018 XT250? Idc if they’re used anything or even slightly damaged. If I don’t like the look of em I’m thinking about just wrapping them or painting them. so idc if it’s a Frankenstein job starting out. Or do I just have to get lucky and hope I can find someone local that’s parting out their bike.

Just wanted to thank everyone with advice on the carb vs fuel injected model concerns I was having. Happy to update I'm elated with my carb model and excited to go on more adventures!

Hey everyone. I've been looking to do some longer distance touring/camping on my 23 XT. I was looking at Tusk bags or Kriega. Does anyone have an opinion either way and should I be looking at getting a rack or just the throw over ones? All help is appreciated.

Love these pegs but just crashed and bent the right one. Unfortunately this guy is no longer making pegs and is out of stock for the xt250. Looks like all he has left is tw200. Looking for an acceptable substitute. I don't want $20 pegs from amazon but I would also rather not spend $180 on pegs. Must be strong enough to count on riding aggressively while standing. Any ideas?

I took my xt for a ride down a bush road and dumped the bike over. got Back up still good. I did notice that when tipped over gas was leaking from the gas cap... Then i saw some big puddles not thinking to much of it and drove through it. Was in 2nd gear and almost cleared it, but the water was at my boots, and it stalled just before it got out. Took a few seconds then it powered on. Then ahead there was another puddle which i have crossed before with no problem. The water there was roughly lower than the other one so i thought it could handle it. Same thing happened where the engine stalled. Took more than a bit to get it out into first gear and i don't know if this was because i was being more cautious or if it was in second gear lolwhatever. Drove it back home easy peasy.

Now i worry. I love this bike since its showed me to take the back roads and not the highway and i want to treat her right.

-Should i worry about the gas cap(How to fix)
-Did the bike go too deep in water?
-Why did it stall (did i damage it)
-Also how do i know if the wheel is bent or bars are (They look fine but i am also not an expert)

Thanks for reading,

Hey guys, I'm looking into getting an XT cause I'm a shorter rider and theres one available that's a 2009 model so its carbureted. I was wondering if there was any real difference between the carbureted vs the fuel injected versions? I know that elevation changes affect carbs but is there any other great difference? Should i hold off for a fuel injected one to become available or is the carb version just as good? Thanks

Looking to be prepared for most common issues on the trail. Thank you!

Hi guys! Do any of you know if it’d be possible to mount an XT550 on a 1985 XT250 for extended range? Like this one:

Having a hard time finding after market parts that are a fit for my 24, anyone have suggestions for an exhaust and windscreen, is there any must haves for this bike?

Dirt newbie here. I bought a 2013 XT250, and I'd like to add Cyclerack's rear rack to it:

It's chunky. Should I have concern about this getting in my way in an emergency dismount?

I recently bought a 2008 xt250 with ~4000 miles as a good starter bike. I knew picking it up that it was going to need some work but I’m finding quite a few problems that are maybe a bit too complicated for me to figure out.

Problem #1: It bogs down at high rpm. I found that this problem is not present if I take the air filter out. So I ordered an new high flow air filter from K&N. After I popped the new filter in, the bogging marginally improved but is still very much present at half throttle and above.

Problem #2: The clutch seems to stop working/needs to be adjusted after the bike warms up. The clutch lever needs to be replaced (lots of vertical wobble) and the kit is on its way but I’m starting to worry that won’t solve the issue. I have adjusted it a few times and now I cannot adjust it and further and it still is not engaging while I fully squeeze the lever. The problem does not solve itself when the bike cools back down.

Did I buy a junker that cannot be saved? Or did I just buy a junker that needs a bit more work haha?

Hello everyone , so I have xt250 2016 here about 7k Miles on it . At 55 mph the front end does a death wobble after changing the tire pressure in the front end to 25 psi. What do you think should I buy this bike or how to fix it .
