350sx riding single track like a jackass. What kinda mileage can I expect from a tank of fuel?
I remember you talking about your pops getting that bike. What year is it again? Generation and tank size are good indicators of range350sx riding single track like a jackass. What kinda mileage can I expect from a tank of fuel?

Googler says 1.8gal on the sxf. 350s get unbelievably good fuel range if you don't ride them on the pin all the time, but I still wouldn't trust much more than 45 miles on it without a tank upgrade.Its a 16. Tank sure looks small on it
We went an rode and he's mentioned a few times now that maybe he bought the wrong bike.
Have a buddy getting ready to sell a 300. See what happens this weekend but I might end up with the 350.
I kinda had a feeling he wasn't going to like that bike.
Generally speaking as many as I want. My 2015 YZ450 went all the way to ~310 hrs before I did the top end and even then, the piston and cylinder were in great shape.How many hours you getting out of a top end ?
Fun fact: My 2015 YZ450 is in this picture. I sold it to my buddy and he still rides it consistently. It has about 360 hours on it now and still going strong. Love that Yamaha reliability.
It is definitely going to feel stiffer than an XC, though I wouldnt think the difference would be earth shattering. Does that thing have the dreaded 4CS's on it or newer air forks?
If you're having comfort issues and know your air setting clickers would be the very first place I'd start digging around.
It's also an older model and the air forks have been steadily improving over time. Could he the difference in tech you're feeling. Idk though.
Those both sound pretty standard for a 4 stroke MX bike in the woods to me. I've never been on a bike in PNW trails with a motocross spec fork that worked well without a revalve. MX bike power delivery is always tilted more to the high revs than the off-road models. I don't know about them European space machines but on the Japanese bikes the cams and often cylinder head are different between the off-road and MX models.I made it about 2 miles from the truck before I said fuck it and turned back..... Put 40psi in the front tire and thats bout what it felt like.
Power was weird too. Didnt have shit unless you grabbed a handfull
Had a 540sx a while back and while it was twitchy in the slow stuff, it didnt beat the hell out of you.
Zero interest in a recluse
A revalve would go a long ways to making it better. That said, its not really a bike that I wanted to start with. And it is a lil more clapped out than I first thought
If I can get my money back out of it, I will.
I've run the scoop and the z-series before, this is the first try with this tread pattern.Bummer about the bike, having a spare one is kinda nice
Have you ran those tires before?
