    Normal Shift Lever??

    Anyone still have a Hammerhead shifter they’re trying to get rid of. I want to switch to that and can’t find one anywhere

    Help me decide... Hopefully this is the year, Torn between Trail and 300Rally

    This is a good question for sure and one that I deal with constantly. I have a Trail and ride the heck out of it off-road. Probably much harder than most people. Deep desert sand, rutted out mountain trails, creek crossings and everything else. There is no question that my skills have far...

    Clutch adjustment

    That’s how my adjustment goes. I can spin the screw a few times around before I feel any resistance. I’ve watched the videos, read the manual and all the threads. My clutch is wack. I’m hesitant to take it to the dealer for something so simple but I might have to.

    “Popping” noise when shifting into neutral

    I have this same issue and I must be adjusting it incorrectly too. Why do you mark the starting orientation of the screw? Do you return it to that exact position or no? Do you mark is so you can see if the final position is different and that means it out of adjustment? Thanks for the help. I...

    North San Diego County / San Diego Ride

    Hey everyone. There's a thread already on here about trying to put together an SD/OC ride, but it never seems to go anywhere so I'm starting over. I'm in Fallbrook, east of Oceanside and south of Temecula in SD County. I'm looking to find a person or two who lives nearby and wants to ride...

    in the sand

    I spend most of my time in deep sand and knobby tires really help. So does dripping the psi a few pounds. The biggest change is riding position though. Keep you weight way back and hands loose on the bars.

    How Tough is this Bike?

    This is a question for all of you long time experienced riders out there. How tough is the Trail 125? I feel like I beat the hell out of this thing. I see YouTube videos of casual forest service road rides or back country roads and haven’t seen any from my neck of the woods. On the highways and...

    Need something a bit bigger…Honda or Yamaha?

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. It sounds like I’m on the right track with a Honda/Yamaha/Kawasaki 200-300 bike. I just need to determine the best fit for me. In the meantime, the Trail is perfect. I sure get some funny looks when I’m out in the middle of the California desert. Past deep sand...

    Need something a bit bigger…Honda or Yamaha?

    I really want to stick with the smaller dual sports. 300cc at the max and a low seat height. I also want to stick with fuel injection. It really seems like my options are Honda CRF300, Yamaha XT250, And the Kawasaki KLX230 and 300. I do mostly trail riding but it needs to be street legal for...

    Need something a bit bigger…Honda or Yamaha?

    I’ve had my trail for a few months now and put a total of 450 miles on it, almost all of those being off road. I love this bike. It’s perfect to throw on the back of the RV and take camping, putt around the neighborhood with the kids and it’s like a little tractor off road. Over those 400 miles...

    Anza Borrego Desert State Park Ride | Southern California

    Had another great trip to Anza Borrego. Rode the badlands for two days and enjoyed every minute of it. Rode in very very deep sand, crashed face first into a cactus, caught some rain and mud and loved it all. The views here never get old.

    Anza Borrego Desert State Park Ride | Southern California

    I’m heading back out to Anza Borrego with the Trail this weekend. I plan to lead the way while my wife drives the Jeep with our kids. Since I went a few weeks back I got some new knobbies and it handles trails so much better. Can’t wait to spend a few days exploring. I learned to drive in Anza...

    Traditional Fuel Sub Tank

    I ride mine purely on trails while camping in the desert. Never touch a paved road all weekend. We leave first thing in the am and return to camp around sundown. I could easily carry a spare bottle of gas or the ugly flat red ones or fill up back at camp but the old school traditional one my...
