Well this morning I finally got the DX running Right so this afternoon out I went.

The bike performed perfectly!! Lots of playing and mudding power in second gear. Had to adjust the clutch and get the idle working right but other then that no hiccups.

Going to need a different front tire. 22x11x8 is just too wide. Maybe a nice 22x8x8 mudlite or something would be better. The one that is on it just packs with mud and its had to keep going.

The Kenda vipers on the back seem to work ok for now. Not having the very rear of the fender makes this a very dirty bike to ride but clothes wash lol.

Here it is just after going through some mud.

Was kinda cool here today but to tell ya the truth it could have been 40 below and I was going riding lol

Ya that front tire sucks, its almost brand new but I cant stand it.

How do the front tires that are on the 250 R's clean???

Ive been thinking about ITP Mudites on all 3 actually. Only thing is it is gonna cost me about 300.... Almost what I paid for the whole bike.

Did get a price on some other mud tires and think they were 50 a piece. Might go with them.

the cheapest work tires ive found for 22-11-8 is Duro's, its a v thread type of tire, thay were 80ea. i run a knobbie on the front of my 200s and it still sucks in the mud, it PACKS and just slides accross the mud yard lol. id run a taller skinnier one, im thinking to do the same for mine.

I run an ohitsu on my front, and never have it mud pack up, unfortunately I have trailpros on my back at the moment they came with the bike, all I can say is if you plan on doing a lot of mudding go with a front tire that has the knobs well spaced so it don't plug up
