Hi everybody! I'm new here but I'm old to the Honda 250es and sx. My first was a 250 br that I got as my main wheeler for a cattle ranch I worked at in Northeastern Nevada back in 97-00 so when I wasn't on horse back I was on steel.
That BR never bucked me off and was easy to catch and good on feed so after I quit the ranch it wasn't till 06 before I got the SX and same as the BR it never let me down! It just keeps on going and going. I use it for work today. It takes me 4 hours a day to irrigate so I put about 5-10 mile a day I think or untill I refill the fuel tank ever other day as soon as I switch to reserve and I put it through the paces big time. This winter I think I'm going to go through it and get it ready for next years big Henry Mountain, Utah trip that I go on every March and then into irrigation season again.
My question for you is what improvements could I do to the motor and to the suspension? I see by researching this forum I could switch over the front end to the atc 200 for disc brakes but what else could the 200x front end offer?
What could I do for the rear suspension? I weigh 200 lb. and the gear I carry is another 50+ lb.
If you go to my youtube channel you can see me and my sx in Utah last march in the first few uploads including me flipping over my trike while the camera was rolling and also the Buffalo we found and me getting stuck.
If anybody lives near Colorado Utah area your welcome to join us this coming march for a 7 day adventure in the Henry Mountains of Utah.
Any info on what I could do to my SX to make it more fun please let me know!
