    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Help picking a dirt bike please

Nice! Have the valve clearance checked regularly as well as normal oil changes and air filter cleanings and you should be a happy man for many years to come. And I'm not seeing a CRF-70, did you forget something (or someone)?
 
+1 on the DR350S I have one with some suspension mods and some lightening. I also have a DRZ400S I bought new and have only put 600 miles on. The 400 is a better street bike. The 350 is my favorite of my seven dual sports. A street legal race bike like like my ATK is a crappy dual sport for the putt putt off roading I do.

I just saw this one come up. Might have been a better choice?

Wow, that is a very clean well cared for bike (at least it looks like it):

Keep in mind that when ever you buy used it's not how good it was when it was "new" but how good it is "today". So a well recieved good running bike back in the day could be a total roach today if it had fallen into the wrong hands. This XR400 looks like it was well cared for and is worth a viewing if you think it'll do what your asking to do.

At the same time, the DRZ-400 "E" model was designed to be a better XR400. And even though the DRZ was almost 10 pounds heavier, it did produce about 8hp more plus it has electric starting and better suspension. So I'm mostly of the opinon that an XR400 is only worth buying if you actually want a XR400, if you are only looking for a bike in that class then a DRZ-400E would be a better choice.
