Hey all,
I have a n XT 350 i just bought, it runs great, starts great, has 11k miles, but smokes a bit and burns some oil, Any ideas of what it may be? rings? valve seals?
thanks

Yamaha's XT350 provides adequate, if not stellar, power for riding in traffic. The advantage the 350s have over the bigger thumpers is that they are lighter and easier to ride, both on and off-road. Personally, I'd spend the extra and buy the bigger Kawasaki KLR650, a more useful all-around motorcycle.

Why don't you try [Only registered can see links. ], that generate both personal and global benefits. And the benefits are multiplied when other household members use your electric bike.

Riding a bike, even an electric one, is about waving to your neighbors, talking to people at crosswalks, enjoying your own power, coasting down the hill with a bit of wind in your hair, paying attention to the cracks in the road, sticking your tongue out to taste the spring rain, always being able to find a parking place, feeling like a kid.
