New 2010 Pitster LXT 400 Dualsport

[Pitster]

Hi guys, thanks for the positive feedback. We are working hard to improve the Original 400 bike, We have been testing them for several months now and found them to be very reliable. However we have found several things that need to be improved and have taken these items into account.

Our production models will be in stock in 2-3 weeks and will be offering an intro price of $2999 shipped to the lower 48.

Hopefully within the next few weeks we will have more video for you showing how to set the bike up as well as more details of the bike for those of you who don't have a dealer in your area.

We are going to be offering several other options including a "tour package" including custom seats, panniers, tank bags, GPS mounts etc.. to give the hard core adventure guys some options for longer riders and more comfort etc.. This is something we at Pitster Pro really enjoy doing and we understand that guys want an affordable dual sport bike that can offer comfort and reliability in one package.

Thanks for checking in Gary. Would it be possible to have a member check the bike out in person? Spud is willing to make the journey and give us a review on the bike.

Alot of members have been waiting for the next step in Chinese dual sports.

Thanks guys, and of course we would welcome one ( or more ) of you guys to come and test them out!!

FYI, we will also have all the OEM parts diagrams for the LXT 400 listed on the web site for easy online ordering with in the next week.

What were the weak points found on the bike and how where they improved?

Also explain any warranty policy on the bike. What's covered? Who can perform the work? etc.

Thanks, Allen

We have made many small improvements to the bike including the rear shock, forks, cable routing, carburetion and other small details.
The Warranty for this bike is a 12 month parts warranty that will cover any defective parts. In the future when more dealers are established we may offer labor as well, but at this point it is to be determined.

We are getting ready to do the 27th annual Barstow to Vegas 450 mile dual sport ride as well and will have a full report with photos and videos.

That ride should be a good test of the bikes abilities. Please keep us informed.

Do you plan to keep a good stock of supplies in Utah for the LXT 400? How long do you anticipate the customer will need to wait before he recieves his parts order? A weak point for many Chinese motorcycles is the unavailability, or the long wait required to obtain parts.

Once again, welcome!

Yes we have parts in stock in Lindon Utah, USA. When we ship bikes from the factory we also ship many spare parts with them. In most cases orders ship with in 24hrs when placed online, but if for some reason we don't have a part in stock it could take up to 5 days for us to get them, then they would be shipped to the customer. No different then a typical name brand dealer would do.

I look forward to viewing the videos.

I am glad to hear this also, Gary. In particular, I would like to learn more about the custom seat. I frequently ride all day, and I occasionally take short trips lasting several days. I highly appreciate a dual sport motorcycle with a comfortable saddle. Can you tell us the more about the prices, and the estimated dates when these items will become available?

Once again, thank you for joining us at China Riders.

I am VERY interested in hearing more on this bike.

I have an XR650L, while i love it, It is a little big and heavy. But great on long hauls.

I would love a nice smaller 400cc sized bike for hitting the trails and short commuting.

That is the only reason I didn't get a 650 right from the get go. They are powerful and sexy, but dang they are so big for a trail bike. But now my problem is the 200 is just a bit too small for a commuter. I'm thinking the 400 might be just right. Now to convince wifey.....

daddy (that just feels weird typing that :? ) Pitster does have a 250 enduro and a 250 motard with 25 hp that might fit the bill for you. Then again, the 400 with the intro. price is only $300 more than either 250, which would make for a second thought on buying a 250. However, I think I have already resigned myself to the idea of their 250 motard as I think motards are so darn cool looking with those sport-bike 17" tires, but a 400cc gives me, at least the fantasy of, long-range riding south of Yuma into the wide open, lawless spaces of Mexico and further south into the jungles of Cental and South America....
