Hey Folks,

Lookin to buy a birthday present for a friend. He recently bought a KTM 250 xcf-w dirt bike. All together from previous presents or things he's bought himself he's got:
helmet
jerseys
gloves
boots
skid plate
handle bar protector thingies (protect the clutch lever and what not.

I dunno jack about dirt biking, but what else might he need? I debated a stand for the bike, or possibly a nice bag...but surely you people know more. He's new to the sport, so i dunno if there's any other common upgrade requirements or addon's that are needed.

Thanks

 

A first-aid kit. My 7 year old nephew broke his collar bone early last spring at the start of his racing season.

 

a bike jack is a great i dea or a tool kit from cruztools bike stand
The MotorCycle Stand - Heavy Duty Motorcycle Lift and Motorcycle Jack
jp cycles has great stuff as well

 

You can buy him the little things to take care of is bike like chain lube, oil, air filter. You could also buy him a chest protector, kidney belt or pants.

 

Maybe a ramp for loading in/out of a truck?

 

Chest protector

 

man... i must be crazy because all wear while riding on my 2 stroke 125 motocross dirtbike is a helmet. crashed good a few times going wildly fast and jumping, but haven't broke anything yet! getting used to the bruising however haha. we'll see how long my luck runs... :P

 

BTW... I'm selling a dirtbike if anyone is interested. It's a oldie but a goodie. A yellow 95 Suzuki RM125 motocross 2 stroke that runs great and full of juice (rebuilt engine from past owner). As of last fall, new rear tire (rubber), new clutch plates, new chain, new rear sprocket, new grips. Selling for $1400 firm (pickup only). Fluids always kept up and changed regularly. Things need fixing/replacing: front shock seal(s), handlebar, cable cover. Clutch basket has minor wear marks, might want to replace one day. Dents on exhaust pipe and some cracks on rear fender. Selling so I can get a quad. Pics avail if interested.
