Like I wanto buy a KTM sxf 450(not new) I found one for good price but it has 4gears is there a way to do something to have 5gears?

I’m 5’10 w 32” inseam, and I ride a 2019 fe450.

It’s definitely taller than my street bikes, but I can manage alright. I’m 39 and no where near competition level, but I enjoy the progress of learning.

I’ve also got an xt250 at my dad’s farm, and that’s obviously much easier to throw around.

Curious if those of you with similar dimensions just ride the taller bikes as is, or lower them a bit for a better fit. Thanks!

Hi all, I am looking for recommendations for tyres or even how to figure out what tyres would be best for what I do. I am 15 and have a beta rr125 that I ride in some local woods. Please could someone help me out 👍

Me and my lady friend have been talking about getting a truck and toy hauler or a rv+trailer and following the good weather with full remote jobs.

The "best choice" seems to be a toy hauler and a diesel truck. Looks like even the smallest ones fit a full bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, tool kit & a few bikes - but I'm concerned about the length.

A used class b rv's + a trailer seem to be the right size but look uncomfortable & stupidly expensive compared to a used toy hauler. Me being 6' in unsure I could lay down flat in the bed & 2 people in the small space, I'm unsure if we would be able to not unalive each other.

Any of you have suggestions or comments or things anything in general? we are just going down the rabbit hole in planning.

Just trying to gauge opinions on what option may be best to go forward with;

Recently bought a 2017 250 with 50 hours on it (i’m in the UK) from a dealer and because so, consumer rights come into play.

First went to see the bike on the 16th Nov, started it no problems, bought it.

Got it delivered on the 26th Nov and put it straight in the garage whilst my new gear came.

Took it out for its first ride today (1st Dec) started no problem, warmed up okay, filled up with 1/2 tank to make it a full tank. Went on my way to the green lanes.

I got about 14 miles into the journey and i was coming to a roundabout and i started going down the gears and it stalled, restarted by the button and carried out…thought maybe rider error somehow? Next few roundabouts were alright, 5 minutes later i got to a traffic light and it stalled again and wouldn’t restart this time.

Cranks well but no start (smells of petrol whilst cranking) sat waiting for recovery got me thinking;

I currently have three options in my head

Considering i’ve only had it 6 days and put 14 miles on the clock, would you just email the dealers and return the bike, get a refund and look for another bike elsewhere?

Return to the dealers and give them the benefit of the doubt and give them one chance to fix the issue?

Investigate on my own accord hoping best case scenario it might just need a new plug and be on my way?

Just curious to see what other people may do in this scenario.

Looking for an enduro/trail bike and stumbled upon a good deal on a 2023 Yamaha wr450f. Anyone have any insight on this bike?

I was originally looking at the Ktm 350 exc-f. Curious how it compares.

I feel like I ride pretty technical hard enduro. Sometimes we will just session a big log over and over or a weird hillclimb with rock hops and we will drop our bikes a dozen or more times per ride. I get lit up every time I mention something like that on /r/dirtbikes. Maybe this is where I belong.

I had just learned how to wheelie on my 125 2t, so I decided to learn standing wheelies. I wheelied while standing, I went too far back with my weight on the bike; so I had to, with all my strenght, hold on the handle bar, and I couldn’t let go of the gas. So I looped out. How do I prevent this from happening?

Hello fellow riders.

Since the season is over, at least in my country i got the idea of buying an enduro bike for riding in forest, dirt roads (no tracks) just for fun on saturdays and sundays.

Set myself a budget around 3-max 4K€. Im new into enduro bikes, riding only on road on my CB650R and dont know anything about this kind of bikes.

Im 180cm (6ft) and 100kg (220 pounds), and as I said i wanna ride only on dirt roads no tracks.

So which kind of bike should I be looking for?

Friends telling me to save more money and buy something for at least 5-6K€ but thats too much for beginner like me I think (am I wrong?). Not to mention that I need to invest in helmet, boots etc...

Hey guys, what are the benefits of lower foot pegs? Benefit of having pegs that are set back a little further?

If you’re using aftermarket foot pegs, which ones, why and are you happy with them?

Hello Those of you who have already been to erzbergrodeo, I am interested in your experiences and recommendations. I am planning to go next year for the first time. What is the camping situation, food and drink at the venue, what is worth going to see? Is there anything to watch out for? All information is welcome.

did you encounter any good black friday deals for dirtbike stuff this year?

Found a good deal at the dealer. I just don’t know which one to get I hear good things about both. One is 8800$ otd and the other is around 7500$ I’m coming from a GPX tse250r (dt230 motor)

Pick up a brand new 2024 te250 today can’t wait to get out tomorrow

Smashed the OEM speedometer/computer on my 2019 Beta 200rr. Looking for a replacement. Factory computer is nothing special for $229. Looking for something comparable or with more functionality for the money. What suggestions do y’all have?

Popped up 1x long then blinked 15x any one know this code? Much appreciated

Hey guys, have had the SG12’s for about 9 years now and they’ve lasted me well but are starting to really show signs of their age. I’m contemplating a new pair of boots and am weighing up the 12’s vs the 22’s.

Has anyone made the jump and is there a noticeable difference as the 12’s are incredible already
