    Hello out there. My girlfriend Claire and I are trying to go around the world on 2 xt´s. We started in Chile and are touring around SA for a while. Our website is www.scruffnmuffin.com In Bolivia we took both the bikes up a 19000foot Volcano at which point we had almost zero power left but it was a hoot.

    Were having a blast. The bikes are great nice and lite for some of these roads.

    Happy riding,
    Dan

    It takes 12 hp to ride around the world---the rest is wheelspin.

    You'll be fine :D

    I own a xt250. There's only 1.27 quart of oil in the engine. Remember to check and change the oil often.
