301 etz offroad adventure

Postby 0534324999ab+ » Sun Jul 16, 2017 3:50 am

Hello.
I am new to this forum. I'm from Palestine
I bought a 301 with 6000 miles. Model 2000.
Love the motorcycle
I saw on YouTube that the motorcycle could drive offroad as well.
What should I do to bring him to a situation where I can travel with my wife on weekends, offroade?
We went to Treep, and broke my rear shock absorber :(
thanks.

using them as a dirt bike breaks things always be as careful as possible

and remember it is not a blacksmiths anvil

broken parts do not get you back home :smt023

Thanks.
So I'll ask more specific.
1. We are 150 pound each. With camping gear.
So shoks/ forks that well hold as with all that whigt offroad.
I mean 2 lane track. Not single track.
2. Different tires, bar, settings and so on.
So I have in mind sumthing like a dr650.
Thanks a lot

I think it depends on the type of 'road' you want to ride. Tyres with better grip would probably be essential plus you might want to lower the gearing somewhat to cope with going slower. Take it slow and hopefully you'll damage less.
Good luck!
