[QUOTE="Tomck, post: 978423, member: 51288"] Woodsy, Thanks for your reply. I am glad that you enjoyed the report. I have always liked Beagles, and Rusty definitely made an impression. I should note that he seemed to be a gentle dog. After the boat owner loaded his boat on a trailer, I went over to ask for some information, and Rusty was still resting comfortably in his bow seat perch. I walked right by him, and he did not growl or bark. I am afraid that I am not much of a resource in terms of estimating gas mileage. I tend to just ride my bike on trails and side streets, and of course, when I ride in lower gears on trails, the mileage is not optimized. I really have not paid much attention. I just did a search of several XT225 groups, and most people seem to get at least 60+ mpg, and some say they get quite a bit more. I have had no problems with my XT225 in three and half years of ownership. It is just a simple, basic bike, with a smooth running engine, but it is surprisingly capable on the trail (e.g., climbing hills, etc.). I think that it has basically the same engine as the TTR225, but for some strange reason, the street legal XT weighs less than the dirt only TTR225. Someone told me that the XT has aluminum rims. Anyway, I never have figured that one out. Based upon my experiences with my bike, I can understand why you enjoy your TTR225. I have not done any adjustments to the suspension because it seems to work fine, but maybe I should try to set the sag. Woodsy, it would be my pleasure to join you some time for trail or dual sport riding, but I am really not a street rider. I hope that you are always extra careful, because I find many drivers in cars do not pay attention, even on side streets. Tom [/QUOTE]
