what bout the tires?
does it need a driving liscence (MINI dirt bike)?
i'm looking at it as a fun bike more and transport less.
another question: what does the increase engine size do? whats the difference between a 250 and a 450? more horsepower? faster acceleration? im just buying my first bike (ive been riding for a long time though), so i need any advice you have.
requires:
Modification of the charging system and connection of a battery.
Wiring of lights, head+hi-lo, brake ,tail ,marker and turn lights and all the switches that go with them including a breaker panel or fuse box.
Street legal exhaust and appropriate engine de-tuning.
Street legal tires ( Knobs are no street legal)
A key ignition.
In most states ,fender height on MX bikes are too high and need to be lowered.
And there is no "Cheating" because the bike will have to pass a physical inspection before it is licensed .
I've done a couple, A Honda XR500 and a Yamaha IT425.
Even though it's not what you want to hear ,my advice is to get a dual purpose and "trick it out" rather than trying to make a MX bike street legal.
Turn run switch to run.
pull in clutch
get rolling down hill
release clutch
apply gas
Will my bike weely? what gear is best.
Thanx
No it is not road legal.
I sell tires at $10 over cost everyday, and can get anything you want THAT IS AVAILABLE (think about the resent Dunlop strike) in two days or less.
There is no point supporting another dealer or mail order company when you can keep your dollars in your area. Try it, you might be surprised!
which is better for dirt jumps?
