Fans of crazy off-road racing usually know what kind of cars they like to drive. But beginners are always faced with a difficult choice: cross or enduro? In addition, if they do not know the differences between various cross-country and enduro races, then they cannot do without the help of a specialist. Luckily, this article is enough to give you some basic information and suggestions for using these motorcycles.
cross and enduro
Cross and enduro
The main difference between a motocross bike and an enduro bike is that a motocross bike is designed almost exclusively for sport riding. Motocross racing on challenging tracks attracts both spectators and participants. These types of motorcycles provide not only the ability to ride fast, but also the extreme thrills associated with the conditions that the motorcycle must cope with.

In the case of enduro, we are dealing with a wider application - that is why motorcycles are equipped with turn signals and headlights (which are usually not present on motocross bikes, although there are exceptions). However, that's not all. Enduros have higher suspension and are usually lighter, but cross bikes are still considered professional off-road machines. Of course, the equipment is different, although in the case of motorcycles of this type, most of the changes are made independently. Tuning of such cars usually takes place in local workshops.

1. Cheese didn’t have a front brake from birth, the designer was overlooked. I installed a disc with hydraulics from a Yamaha. Dream. Now you can stop exactly when you need it. And not when the motorcycle wants it. I've already started to forget about the foot brake.
2. I ride mainly in the mountains, a kind of enduro + freestyle. But there is no clutch, in the usual sense, on the ChZ. When I had to quietly crawl somewhere over an abyss, I got too much adrenaline. Converted it to Java wheels in an oil bath, very pleased. Now I can take off like on a regular road bike.
3. There is no traction at the bottom, until you open a hole, it doesn’t move. Installed reed valves + automatic ignition timing, with weights. Now the reception from below is very decent.
4. There is an eternal problem with starting, the motor board is also g., a lean mixture is not allowed, but with a rich mixture you have to constantly turn the engine, otherwise it will flood. And when starting, you have to pull the kickstarter so hard that your leg falls off, and if it doesn’t start the first time it’s completely dark. I installed the battery (small, from the toilet).
Generator IZH PS.
Switch and coil VAZ 2108. Hall sensor, automatic advance. Now I forgot what a flooded candle is.
I welded a new 20 liter tank, my original one is small, and there are no gas stations in the mountains. I redid the exhaust system, I haven't lost anything in traction, but it's much quieter.
After all the modifications, the motorcycle became 9 kg 800 g heavier, but this does not depress me much
