@k1773ns 😄 The results are in the link below. I should have linked the below video in the upper-right corner of this video; just need to learn how to. I hope you like the results. czcams.com/video/cygBbyboNRA/video.html

Wow! Just 64mi! Hope you got a great deal on it. Enjoy!

I believe the pro version was introduced after I bought my non-pro version. Yes, I agree with you; the pro version sounds better.

Hi, Viajero - I think you are correct, and I would have preferred wearing them underneath my riding pants. However, my riding pants are not wide/loose enough at the legs to allow these knee & shin guards to fit underneath. I will give it a try once again, as it has been a few years since I first tried wearing them underneath. Thanks

Thank you!

Thank you!

I bought it at a store in the Akihabara neighborhood of Tokyo, Japan.

Hi F.N. - Nice to hear from you! It has been a long time; 10 months since you last posted. I do not know much about ‘battery tenders’ and ‘battery chargers.’ I bought ‘DuraBoost Smart Battery Charger & Maintainer’. The product page has quite a bit of detail. Hope this helps. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/duraboost-lithium-battery-smart-charger?sku_id=10298742 And congratulations on your Honda Monkey!

@@RajReviewsDualSportPhotoGadget Thanks Raj! Yeah, health issues getting in the way. Hoping to get some posts soon though. 🙏

@findingneutral - I am sorry to hear that, F.N. My sincere wishes for a speedy recovery. 🙏

@@RajReviewsDualSportPhotoGadget Thank you. Much appreciated.

Congratulations! Lee. 🎉🎊👍

Thanks! 👍

I am not familiar with high-style dirt bike boots. Sorry.

​@@RajReviewsDualSportPhotoGadget Dirt bike boots. Excuse me if I called them the wrong thing. They are the boots that you see experienced dirt bike riders wearing they look like they come up halfway to the calf? I guess you are also a noob like I am?

Hi @GreatBirdOfHope - Yes, I am a noob.🙂 It was the “high-style” part that I did not quite understand. I wear these Leatt on top of my full-length adventure boots, with my adventure riding pants tucked inside my boots. Because of the chin protector protrusion on the upper outside of my boots, the lower strap (closest to foot) of the Leatt is not long enough to wrap around my leg, due to a bit of a gap created by the chin protector protrusion. My boots look similar to these (mine are discontinued, though), which also come up halfway to the calf: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/tcx-drifter-wp-boots Hope this helps answer your question.

He was just a kid assembling bikes part-time to make a few bucks. He was just fine. No worries. Sales staff was great!

​@RajReviewsDualSportPhotoGadget ok just seemed when u were trying to explain to him about the bike we was just walking away like he didn't care

Yes, that is true. 😄 No worries, though.

@RajReviewsDualSportPhotoGadget congrats man beautiful bike

Hello vlogFuji, I enjoyed reading your above comment, and I am glad that you enjoyed watching videos on my channel. Thank you. This past June, on my first ever trip to Tokyo and Japan, I tried to find a shop that would rent out a Serow 250 for a few hour, or for the day, but I was not able to find such a shop, although bigger street/sports bikes were available for rental. Deciding b/w the XT250 and CT125 is a very personal choice. For me, I wanted the Yamaha DT100 Enduro since I was a teenager, so the decision to get the XT250 was already made for me. If you plan to ride local streets, and not mountain trails, a lighter CT125 might be easier to manage and more fun. I would not mind it as my 2nd bike, but I hardly ride my XT250 on local streets. There is an interesting CZcams video where a CT90 and a CT125 are driven across Alaska! I would be interested to know which bike you decided on. Take care.

@@RajReviewsDualSportPhotoGadget I hope you enjoyed Japan.😊 Thank you for your kind reply. Japan is a motorcycle powerhouse, and I, as a Japanese, am very happy that Japanese motorcycles are appreciated by people all over the world.

Hi Yong, For me, with size 10 boots, it made a world of a difference by replacing the original gear shifter lever with the one made by ZETA, plus the optional mount at its max position. Following is a link to that video. The details are in that video’s description. Congrats in advance for your XT250. czcams.com/video/2K3nRJ4XpI8/video.html

Many thanks!

You are right, Guderian7. On hind sight, I did buy several accessories before I bought the bike, only to realize that I did not actually need them after riding the bike for several months. For example, some security locks/cables, boots, etc.

Yes, it is. It has a headlight and turn signals. It is a Dual Sport, meaning both road and dirt/trail/gravel.

yes

Cannot exactly recall, but it did not touch 80 on a flat road. I think it was 78/79. Going downhill it did touch 80/81. The GPS showed the speed ~5 m.p.h. slower than the speedometer, perhaps a delay in signal transfer.

@@RajReviewsDualSportPhotoGadget I appreciate your input, friend! As I'm thinking about getting this as my first bike for the city roads of Pennsylvania, I'm unsure whether to choose this or a naked Z400. Any thoughts or suggestions would be really helpful. 😊

If you are strictly road, and are never going to ride dirt/gravel/trails within the Pennsylvania mountains, then perhaps a bike strictly meant for the road. I do not know much about Z400, therefore, I cannot present a feature-by-feature comparison.

Marmota - I am so happy for you. It is a wonderful feeling to fulfill one’s younger years’ dreams. I actually did not realize that an XT250 was used in Rambo, until after I started to search for videos on the bike, and came across the movie clip. You are lucky to be in the vicinity of Northern Adirondack. Such a beautiful area to be riding in, with miles & miles of places to ride. I live in an urban and congested area, and do not enjoy (feel comfortable) riding on city streets. The only time I ride off-road is with a group ride in Pennsylvania, 200+ miles West, in Spring and Autumn. Enjoy, and all the best!

Thanks.

Take care, Dave. Thx.

​​@@RajReviewsDualSportPhotoGadget spokes only break from being loose. They are incredibly strong, and they're not going to break unless one or two are taking the weight by themselves. Always check your spokes.

No. That's lack of maintenance and loose spokes.

Thanks for the insight.

Hi Kel - I did not measure the exact additional length that the Zeta tip provides, but it is exactly the width of the tip (see 2nd pic, 4-7 sec). I can measure the width and let you know. Also, in these pictures, the tip is set at its longest adjustment.

@@RajReviewsDualSportPhotoGadget okay thank you

😀

🙏

Thanks. I have mounted my GoPro on top of my helmet. I then use the GoPro app on my phone to preview and adjust the angle. I am now used to the angle at which to mount, so I no longer use the app to preview. One disadvantage of a top-mount is wind buffeting at higher speeds. I did consider a chin-mount adapter, but I think the view is better from a top-mount. Plus, I did not want to permanently stick a chin-mount to my helmet. Here is how my mounted GoPro looks like (before I connected an internal wired mic. I have a video on the mic connection, too.) czcams.com/video/4HOpYKBE1bU/video.html

Thanks, and welcome. Very scenic, 70+ vista views, with no stop signs or traffic signals for 105 miles from start to finish.

Thank you. Spring is just around the corner; just a few more months. 😊

These are very comfortable to wear. I have worn them over my riding pants, since they will not fit under the pants. I have worn them on 8 hrs a day four day rides, and they are easy to walk around in during stops along the ride. Please also review my other comments for more details.

Yes, correct; that is what I used.

They do not fit under the pants. I wear mine over the pants, with the pants tucked inside the TCX full height boots. Doing so, the lower strap of these knee/shin guards do not wrap around (they fall short in length), since the lower strap has to now also wrap around the full height boots. I secure the lower straps to the middle straps so that they are not hanging loose.

Good to know. Thanks.

Thank you, Blake.🙏
