2019 Xt 250.. more XT's out there ?
Since this is the forum for other bikes, I figured this is the spot to ask if there are more XT 250 owners besides myself and what you may have done with them or for that matter not done. Things that worked and things that didn't..

By " Fixing " you mean you had issues with it or just messing with it ? I thought these were supposed to be more reliable than most dual purpose bikes..

I have a 2013 I bought used last November so I haven’t much seat time. It has around 6k miles. I added heated grips, hand guards, aluminum skid plate, rear rack, installed an SKB pistol case as a rear case, changed the tires. All in the basement during our 5-6 month winter. Only been able to take it for a single ride this year, we keep getting snow where I’m at.

I used to race a few cz Falta replicas back in the day ,I probably had 6 or 7 400’s and 2 250’s all with the small flywheel so the clutch lasted only an hour if I used it or not .All were a mix of ‘75 and ‘76 .Air rear shocks and the quick change coffin tank .I would love another one .

There was a red frame and a black frame.. I also went down a tooth on the counter shaft sprocket on the CZ and the result was a fast as heck tractor that I rarely shifted into first on any hill climb.. Mine was the last year for the LTR rear, the next year they went to a monoshock. I've love to get mine back. The guy still owes me $ 20 that bought it.. |

All of mine were red frames ,I never saw a mono shock one until later in the 80’s when they copied the Honda Pro link rear .

You're probably right.. I'm getting my buddies Yamaha 400 mixed up with the CZ.. His was a 1975 if I recall.. although they may have been fooling around with it as early as 1973 but not in production. That was a great bike as well.
