Mash 650 X Ride.

Discussion in 'Other Bikes' started by mick e, Feb 3, 2023.

  1. Might not be to everyone’s taste, but I wanted a bike to ride that I could just get on and not worry too much about and use in the crap weather and do a bit of off road, nothing too extreme. After going round all the bike shops up here and looking at Hypermotards and Triumphs that were just too nice and would have just sat in the garage with my other bikes I bought this. Loving it so far.

  2. Wow, never heard of them, but like the XT500 vibe going on with it.

  3. Yeah, reminds me of an old hoot of a Honda Dominator I ran around on.

  4. Just looked, there isn't a dealer within 65miles of me.
    Not as if I'm going to bump into one anywhere to have a look either.

    Will have to drop in on a dealer if I'm out and about for work.
     
  5. In fact the engine in it IS the old hoot of a Honda Dominator engine.

  7. Nearest dealer to me is 125 miles away, picked the bike up in my works van, just hope it doesn’t need any warranty work. A3D5FA36-3D10-4EAA-A303-2EFCBEF501E0.jpeg

  8. I hope you put more straps on it before doing 125 miles.
     
  9. 3 straps was enough, never moved
     
  10. Only see two from pic, looked a little vulnerable.
     
  11. Did you look at the trail too?
     
  12. No bother, had one on the other side too
     
  13. Read a write up on it but preferred the look of the X Ride

  14. Me too, just seems a seat massive height difference on the specs, so just wondered if you cocked your leg over one.
     
  15. That’ll teach me to mention warranty, the bike is back at the dealer getting a new throttle position sensor fitted, hopefully won’t take long as I’d only managed 64 miles before it started playing up, the joys of a new bike.

  16. Finally got my bike back, went out for a quick run today and all seems good.
     
  17. Nigh on a Month, waiting parts or opportunity to pick the bike up?
     
  18. Waiting for parts. They delivered the bike back to me. Another problem with it on Friday, wouldn't start, turned out to be a connection to the starter solenoid. Hopefully that'll be the last of the problems. Managed 140 miles now. Enjoying riding it.
