Hey guys... I have been riding my XR400 for a few months now and having a really great time.
I am riding trail and I have goofed around on a local track that is in my park. I have no desire to race but I have enjoyed jumping it around a little.
question:
I recently rode a guys CRF450 at the park.
Ok... wow...way different power and boy does 50-60 lbs less make a difference in riding a bike!
So my question is this.
I am 6'1" tall and about 255 lbs.
Can the stock suspension handle someone my size (I am mostly concerned about weight) or will I have to make some suspension changes in sprigs etc... to make it work right.
Again my size and weight, trail riding and some jumping, climbing and maye ride on the track in my park for goofing off. I have no desire to compete.
Any thoughs on it would be great... I am glad to be back on a dirt bike...it is even more fun that I remember...
