         Reply to:   Re: (XRV) Off Road, naaaah...
As a keen @ rider who has put the @ to the test off road (under my own =
riding limits) I do think I need to change a few settings and parts to get =
the best out of it.
Can anyone suggest on what I can change to get my @ fit for off road =
riding.
I want to change the suspension first to heavier and tougher.

Thanks in advance

The AT is no Off-Road-Toy, it's made for Off-Road-Travelling. And
that's where it's second to nothing.
