    Oh good. Finesse is practically my middle name! No problem then.

    I believe the rear shock on the TTR is not serviceable. It has to be replaced. My best advice would be to keep the bike and use it as a learning bike and to mess around on. If you get serious and want to progress, get another one. The TTR is a great easy riding machine, but will never be high performance. Spending money on suspension and other upgrades is a waste of money.

    Yeah search lost title/bonded title Colorado. I've done it once, but it's been a long long time ago in a Galaxy far away. IIRC you need insurance, an affiant (notarize something), a bill of sale or possibly a death certificate or some other evidence, a bonding company you can work with, then you buy a bond from them, then take it to the DMV, and pay your registration and get a title. Like a monthlong process that costs about 10% of the value, lol.

    Also a 400 two-stroke is likely going to try to wheely when you really don't want it to... make sure you have VERY good instinct to let go of the throttle with any major issue, otherwise you'll be one of "those" people in a gif online. Basically cranking the throttle suddenly (like when you're falling off and hanging on for dear life) will guarantee to raise the front wheel and send you careening around on a unicycle if you're inexperienced. Even older 220/250s can do this. A 400 is Super-Mario 3.

    I was talking about the DT400. However, I did look into TTR mods and it seems like the basic intake, exhaust, and rejet are about all people do. Some change the gears, and a few have mentioned stiffening up the shocks a bit.

    I monkeyed around on my wife?s TTR quite a bit when we bought it because all of my previous dirt bike experience was on two strokes so I was curious about the four stroke. While it definitely isn?t suited for motocross, I found slow trail riding fairly enjoyable.

    Got out today for about 5 hours before the weather takes a shit tomorrow LOL. Highway 73 outside of Evergreen, lots of riders out today. I modified a HD Ventilator a/c cover to work with the Sportster Screaming Eagle a/c. Very happy with how it came out and matches the look of the bike.

    My old Sportsters were fun but looking at yours just brings back memories of back, knee, and elbow pain. And a sore tush.

    My VROD was getting lonely and found a Japanese friend. Gotta love Xmas/Winter Deals.

    There's room for 2 or 3 more if your lonely bikes like to snuggle
