Technically her third but really her second...and first.
Her first bike was a '86 Honda elite which she didn't have for very long before getting the Yamaha Xmax. She's had the Xmax for 3? Years but it's starting to hold her skill back especially on dirt soooooooo we got her a dirt friendly bike to learn more skills.
She's a bit intimidated about relearning a clutch (hasn't ridden a manual bike since 2020) but is excited overall. I'm hoping to have the bike in a ridable state by this weekend if all goes well.
I am sure she will get the hang of it. I have an XT for a spare bike very nice little things. It's nice that they can hang with traffic.
They are so simple mechanically I am sure that it will run.
Yeah I gave it an inspection last night and was kinda surprised how little bike there actually is to these. Even compared to other dual sport machines I've worked on these things are very simple.
