Hi from the Philippines, just got my 2006 XR400 Motard yesterday, tested it and wow so much fun to ride, I also get strange stares probably wondering what kind of bike I have. It has ample power and very agile.

[Benguin46]

sweet.. care to update more on the bike as u ride it? thanks

[Tricker]

I had come across a Hong Kong bike magazine, the review of the riding is good. But if compare to xr250, it only have slightly more power only, thats what make me wonder y 150cc more yet so little difference. XR250 produce 28 ps at 8000rpm, xr400 produce 30ps at 7000 rpm. The only thing that i can see so much difference is the torque.

another pic of my xr400 motard

[terri_one]

i have just bought a second hand one. its very nice-looking.

 

if intend to use on go-kart tracks, these mods will be needed:

1. wider rear rim, now 4inch... go for at least 4.25 or 4.5

2. 320mm front disk

3. after market caliper, at least 4 pot

 

If intended to play hard, then these are needed :

1. hi com piston (now only 8.8 :1)

2. full exhaust system

3. air box mods

4. pumper carb, probably mikuni as keihin seems a tad too tall

5. suspension rework, maybe heavier oil to start with.

[Benguin46]

so for mods its almost the same as a drz except for the rims and braking systems? am i right to say tht?

[terri_one]

A XR is a XR, how can it become a DRZ?

[Sandman]

Buy a DRZ if you're after mileage and 'some say' looks lah. It's a more friendly apetitizer to the motard word. Why not learn to understand the bike 1st. Those mods will do hardly any good, if the bike isn't properly utilised and setup.

 

Dirtbikes are little different from Sports/Street bikes. You can buy the latest cutting edge Sports/Street bike and ride it fairly ok. But try a high end performance dirtbike (dirt/motard). I assure you, the majority of us will get freaked out by it. It's not as simple as pumping money and enjoying the power.

 

My advice, buy something you can use happily. Ultimately power is nothing without control. (That's it; it's YOU, the rider) Cheers.

[Benguin46]

agreed right there..
