Xt250x 2006

[changnoi]

I am new here, I live in Thailand and just bought a Yamaha XT250x from 2006. Great bike, much better as the TW225e I had for a few weeks.

 

The only problem with bigger bikes in Thailand is that they are officially not imported here so there are no spare-parts. Everything has to be orderd.

 

The bike has 17inch wheels front & rear and now it has IRC Road Winner RX tires on it. I would like to replace them by more off-road tires like Michelin Anakee or Sirac, but it seems that they do not sell 17inch front tires of Anakee or Sirac.

 

As the XT250x is sold in Singapore I would think there should be choice in tires in Singapore, right?

 

So has anyone a recommendation on the replacement of my tires?

 

As I come in Singapore sometimes it would be no problem to buy new tires in Singapore (or Hong Kong where it eems that the Xt250x and XG250 are also sold).

 

I also would like to replace the weird high front fender, maybe replace it with the normal fender of a XG250 (Tricker)? Anyone knows if that would fit?

shipping from SG to Thailand are very costly..

i believe your local bike shop would be able to help you order them..

 

for the front fender wise, you can try getting supermoto fenders which are generally shorter in length thus making it look lower..

 

do pop me a msg if you happen to dropby Singapore.. I'll be glad to help you out if i'm free..

Well as the number of bikes like this is very small on Thailand no motorbike shop gives any trouble of having spare-parts or having a system to get spare-parts. Only Red Baron is helpfull but they just order all from Japan so also expensive. And flying from BKK to SIN is cheap and I could take things with me as luggage (nobody cares).

 

The fender of the XT is under the head-light like it is a Off-road bike. With Off-road bikes this is done to prevent mud sticking between your wheel and fender. But on the XT is also a small fender part directly above the front-wheel so mud is going to stick there anyway!

 

So I was thinking of taking of the high fender and replace the small low fender for a bigger fender (example from the Tricker). But I dunno how the fender of a Tricker is connected to the fork. Has the Tricker actually the same fork as the XT?
