That happens more here than it used to, but we have managed to keep many good single track trails open.

Now we just need to stop locking up public lands.

Better than a guy with a shotgun and a bad attitude. I have a few of them around Volcano. I can't figure out if he has a weed grow or a bunch of teenage daughters.....or both.

That's a good looking bike. Have you ridden it on the highway much? Was just curious how it would do on paved top speed wise. I saw one video online that got up to 71MPH on pavement.

Haven't wanted to push it too hard yet!
After its broke in I will GPS the top speed. It's advertised as 74mph. I did hit 70 for a brief moment the other day.

Taking it out this weekend for a good shakedown run.

Any ideas what sprockets you have on it? I think my RX3 (same motor) has a 13/and whatever stock is. 45 maybe?
I can cruise at highway speed but it's still hummin' with that 13 the front. Came stock with a 14.

I look forward to seeing how it turns out, looks like the fit and finish is pretty top notch for such an inexpensive bike, not to mention a lot of upgrades! Could turn out to be quite the little enduro, especially if it has the same engine as the RX3.

Not verified, but the PPro website says 13/49, as does the parts order manual.

Decided to check the sprocket situation out as we have already seen that some of the specs on Pitster's page are off.

Turns out the front is a 13 tooth!





BUT, rear is a 51;

Pitster LXR250 front forks measure about 47mm ; tough to hold tablet, micrometer, get focus and push camera button all at once, so forgive the quality here:




The housing of the front forks just below the top triple clamp are 53mm :

is that metal shavings on the frame under the shifter or just dirt?

Lovin' the bike so far! Keep the pics coming!

If you insist.

Took the Pitster Pro for its maiden ride to an area filled with sand, slickrock, slot canyons, moguls, rough single track, 2-3 foot ledges and just about every obstacle you can imagine. Motorcycle heaven.

The purpose was to break it in, see some cool stuff, and see just how this bike does right out of the box. Everything is still stock except the rear tail that was replaced. Because of the rough nature of these trails I pulled the rear view mirrors off.

We rode for a solid 6-7 hours, only stopping to rest occasionally. Here is the bike just off the trailer to set the scene:

This was about 10 minutes through a sandy area and a mile or so of deep whoops. Bike was running good. Idle quality was getting noticeably better.

This was also a shake down run for my buddies bike. He spent all winter building a super-lite xr200-230 hybrid. It scaled at an amazing 210 lbs!

We stopped fairly often to look for loose parts, rubbing or an other issues that crop up with new bikes.
