    Love that you made this video. My brother bought one with 200 miles circa 2015 and i recently took ownership over it. We’ve only put around 3000 miles on it collectively throughout the years but it really hasn’t given us any issue. It’s an 07 with orange sealant engine number but i gotta double check to see what the sealant actually looks like. I remember within the first hundred miles we rerouted some of the lines that shot oil into the air box and never had to do anything else since other than 1 starter change. It is fairly tough to start cold tho. Once you learn the trick, it’s not so bad. It’s a rad ride and the sound cargoes it’s own character. I have it posted for sale and i almost feel bad about it now since we’ve owned it so long. Ours is mint and knowing it really hasn’t given us any issues other than cold start ups taking a couple mins makes me wanna keep it even longer as an art piece.

    Amazing bike that's old with new looks! I'm contemplating a sxv450 as there is nothing here in Australia and when they pop up they go fast! It has 9000 klms and had a starter just done and fixed low compression on the rear head. Not sure if the orange seal has been done yet though waiting to hear from the seller. Sounds A1 mechanically so we will see. It's a 2006 but so rare I need it even if a rebuild is needed down the track as it will be like a Katana or gpz750 turbo in the future with rarity. Any advice what to look for in buying one? Cheers!

    • @p20dirtrider
      @p20dirtrider  2 роки тому +2

      Honestly just like your saying they are becoming so rare and the future of high-power lightweight supermoto looks very dim. Just think in the last 10 years nothing has come close. I just got to ride a husky 701,don't get me wrong it's a beautiful bike but performance wise it's not even a comparison. Ask the guy if it's had a proper tune done and look at the engine case seam for sealant type. Check the oil in the sight tube after a good ten minute ride to make sure the level is close to the max line. If it looks taken care of and never wrecked I would buy it.

      2000 km's doesn't mean anything, it should be torn apart anyway. You can get it if you know a mechanic that knows this bike, not just a dude that knows bikes, but this bike specifically. Parts are hard to come by. There are many know-how's that will take hundreds of hours to learn and thousands of dollars if you don't. Plenty of places to screw up even during basic maintenance. If you have time and patience (and money) then it's truly amazing and epic bike

The big thing is you will need the larger tank if your going over 70 miles between stops. The last thing that would really help is a nice squishy seat lol.

    I've had an RXV for years and just purchased an SXV this week. Did a lot of off-road including the NE 24 hour challenge with it 4 times and even raced some MX at Unadilla and Thornwood MX. Currently the bike is set up for ice which is a hoot! I have 2 supermoto tracks within a half hour of my new home and can't wait to try it out! Yes, both bikes have been rebuilt by the master, Allen.

    My friend purchased the first one here in New Zealand when it came out. The engine grenaded at 50 kilometers on the odometer. Something to do with the factory using the incorrect case sealant. When he got it fixed I was luckily enough to ride it and damn what a weapon. I don't know if I'd own one knowing how temperamental they are but awesome machine and the styling especially the first models was so great.

      Scrap whatever battery you have and buy a brand new one. A high cranking lithium off Amazon. Then make sure you give it a tiny bit of throttle on start. If that doesn't work it probably needs a different tune done.

      @@Mike_Starkz636 oh ya I forgot one massive thing. So one time I turned my bike off with the key and not the red button. What happened was the motor kinda locked up and I have to push start it to get it to free. Later on I learned you should never turn the bike off with the key because it can actually shear the fly wheel keyway. This is rare but has happened to people. I should make another video ik so much more now. Also try bumping it in gear and making sure starter is not jammed up.

      I mean long can be interpreted in many ways but for example I take a couple trips up to the mountains every year and do about 200-300 miles over a weekend. That to me is a long ride and not ideal for this bike because of the amount of fuel it holds lol but I wouldn't want to ride anything else.

      So I would not recommend it as a daily commuter. It's not because the bike is incapable of being reliable. It's more due to the nature of the current parts available for it. They are becoming hard to find. Also if it's stop and go traffic your bikes going to be getting very hot and that's not good for it. With that said I ride my bike almost every weekend and have put about 1000 miles on it with basically no issues at all.

    So... I recently found one, & am thinking about pulling the trigger on it & buying it.. BUT, it's already up there in miles at 12k+.... With that many miles I figure I can assume the orange sealant & starter issues have been sorted, among other things...
    My main question though... is at some point I assume the engine is just going to need replacing, like the block itself.... Is there any way to replace it if that's ever the case?
    And from what I understand, it basically needs a full rebuild roughly every 5k miles... AANY IDEA what I can expect that to run... like ballpark?
    I FULLY EXPECT the bike to cost more to own than it will to actually buy it, but I think if I can figure out how to either keep the engine from needing a full replacement, through regular maintainence & rebuilds at intervals... I'd be interested to know if it'd even be possible to keep it running upto & beyond 35..40k...

      So if you get it rebuilt right from the start by a known professional (Alan Noland) or Amuri in California. Then you should be able to make it 10-14000 depending upon what type of riding you will be doing. Honestly I use my bike for weekend joy rides here and there. I try not to put miles on it because of how rare they are. In any case parts are come and go. Sometimes you can find full engines and parts and other times your waiting months.
