Trail Bike Test SSR 189 from Dirt Bike Magazine: Part 3

At LSK Lebanon we want to make sure you love the bike that you purchase.  In our last few blogs, we have highlighted a test from Dirt Bike Magazine on the SSR 189.  We will finish up the test in this blog.  We hope that you have enjoyed this series from Dirt Bike Magazine. "HOW IT WORKS In order to get the SR189 running, you must turn the key and hit the starter button. Our 189 started easily every time. There is a choke lever on the left side of the handlebar, and it helped when the engine was cold but was only needed for mere seconds. After that, the engine ran cleanly and started in gear or in neutral. On a track, first gear is fine for getting the bike moving, but you immediately shift to second. That first- to-second jump is a little wide, but the rest of the ratios allow the SR to stay in the happy part of the power as it goes from gear to gear.

As promised we are continuing with the Trail Bike Test on the SSR 189 from Dirt Bike Magazine.    At LSK Lebanon , we truly do want you to enjoy everything about your dirt bike.  Reading the tests about bikes is a great way to get great information on the bike before purchasing.  We will finish the article in the blog next week.   "WORKING ON IT You remove the saddle with a single fastener under the rear fender.

Whether you ride for fun or professionally it’s always a great idea to read reviews about the dirt bike that you are interested in purchasing.  At LSK Lebanon we want you to love everything about the bike that you purchase.  In this week’s blog, we will highlight an article from Dirt Bike Magazine about the SSR 189.  They had so many great things to say about the SSR 189 we will have to finish the article in a few blogs.  “ WHAT IS INSIDE? In addition to the new cosmetic look, the SR189 has significant internal changes. Of all the midsize four-stroke play bikes we see, only the SR189 has a 10-inch-travel inverted fork with both compression and rebound adjustments. The SSR’s fork has massive 43mm inner fork tubes and a large front axle with proper double pinch bolts on each side to add rigidity to the front end. The cast-aluminum triple clamps have double pinch bolts as well. Out back, the 189 has just shy of 8.5 inches of rear-wheel travel. The piggybac...
