thumper

Has anybody fitted a hot cam or a 250r cam in a 250L dual sport bike. I am told the jap import 250L has a softer cam in for emissions. I have contacted hot cams but they don't list the L version only the R. and not sure what year 250r cam will fit in my 2004 L. Thanks for any help

Anybody have a pumper carb on there electric start xr250, if so what carb is it. not happy with the bog on my CV carb.

I am thinking of finding a 1980s XL500R to replace my knackered daily ride. I have seen a few nice bikes for sale in Germany and a Paris Dakar version which was just outside my budget. Is there anything I should look for when I am looking for one? If you have owned one of these ,please share...

Hi Does anyone know if such a thing may be bought? Been on HUBB, Adv, Thumpertalk too... Chris

Hi everyone, I am looking for a useable thumper. I don't need a show stopper, just use able reliability. I reckon an old xl 600 with a combo start would be top of the list, but I'd consider most things. It needs to be useable and that's about it. I live neat Reading, but can travel? Thanks Jim

The good news is I have got rid of my Suzuki GSR750, which I traded my Alp in for a couple of years ago. The problem was, I tried the Honda Xs of various cc but none of them did it for me. So I took a deep breath, walked into BMW and within a few hours had bought the G650GS test bike! Hopefully...

Greetings all. Being a Dommie newbie, I thought I would join this forum and ask at least one daft laddie question, maybe two? 1. Oil is clearly critical to looming after the beast. How often to change the oil and filter? 2. How do I check the oil level? There's no windae in the...

The carb on my bike is either a hsr40 or tb 40 with large K&n Pod filter and I have just noticed the main jet is a 145. This seems way too small to me and I have noticed the plug is a tad white . Has anyone else got a a different carb fitted to thier Dominator and if so what Jets ?????

Well I think I have. First up,, oww doo :thumbup: Been gorping at Dommie/Vigor/Slr trackers for ages now and decided to jump in and have a go at one. I'm thinking Slr, don't know why, they just look a tad more fettlable to me :scratch: I'm brainwashed in Aprilia so I'm gonna need a bit of help...

Another run into the hills found me just west of Tomatin, wandering around near some wind turbines on the 650 Dakar . . . If you look really closely you can just make out the hills in the far distance – the ones with snow on them On several occasions on the above little road I...

For Sale now is my TXT pro 250 it's a 2006 bike, has carbon effect frame and swingarm guards bike is ultra reliable and only reason i'm selling it is the fact i'm not using it very much.

Just got a cheap LC4 carb delivered off ebay after studying this thread Edison approach to alerantive XR400 carbs - ThumperTalk Anyone on here done this mod?

Hello you lot, I've just introduced myself as I'm soon to collect my first thumper, & am itching to find out what the mystique is about this type of bike (2001 FX Vigor). I've had a few different types of bike over the years, but I've always fancied a thumper, for its simplicity and character...

Collecting a 2001 FX Vigor next weekend, hope these thumpers are all they're cracked up to be! Jack

It seems to me the balance is swaying in favor of greenlaning single cylinder riders. It must be something to do with the realisation there is still some serious fun to be had out there, where the car drivers cannot upset you!! Lets have a roll call of all you guys and where you are to see if...
