Not a TPI, but my TE300 doesn’t really like the road. I wouldn’t sit at a constant speed and the real issue is the gearing, way, way too low and I have gone a tooth up on the front.

Don’t do it for more than 10 miles say?

 

Yes, it can. But l still ride it at varying speed as l would any exc, 2t or 4t .......

Longest road section l need or would want to do though is about 5 miles.

 

Used to ride greenlanes until 3 years ago.
Our usual ride in Kent was 70 miles, roughly 50 road miles / 20 off road miles...14/50T.
It does not like to be at steady revs/speeds and probably not the best for this purpose, but certainly had no issues.

 

If you want to hate your wonderful 300 tpi (DIRT BIKE)take it on the road ,it worse than terrible.and it hates sitting at constant speed/revs ,longest I've done was about 2 miles , awful ,plus with hd tubes and tyre/rim locks wheel balance is shocking

 

Great thread, and very timely.

I had been considering swapping my FE350 for a 2T 300, but I do a fair bit of road in between trails so I don't think I'll bother pursuing that option any more.

 

i have a tpi 250 i ride it a fair amount on road between trails , i dont think about it just tickle along, then im glad im on it in the off road bits, you cant have it all ! 4banger just for road sections hmmm no not for me

 

TBF it's not too shabby off road. Just thinking about a change of experience.

 

i understand the fancy a change bit, my Partner has just got a ..4stroke 250 i been riding it , swapping bikes as you do..its fine it does what it should just cant really like it! the noise irritates me its all standard no silly loud exhaust, he likes it mind!.its probly just me being a don't like change stuck in my ways type creature..stubborn old cow maybe even

 

Squid on a 4t 250f! 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

He must be delirious with all this hot weather. Get more Perla into him and fast. You might be able to bring him back from the brink.
