XR 250 questions

Is it OK to take off the black covers on the front forks? As in, dirt wouldn't get in the shocks, I just want my bike to look more like a motocross bike.

Also is there anywhere I could find a cheap bulb for my headlight..its broke.

for the shocks you can use seal savers, black neoprene covers, like the ones on my bike. dont run them with out any cover dirt will get in there and ruin the seals. With the seal savers just make sure you pull them down every once in a while to get the little dirt that gets passed them out.

for the bulb your mx dealer should be able to order you one, I havent found one at auto parts stores. Good luck!!!

its a pretty unique bulb, it has one contact, but it the guide tabs on the side that are truly diffrent.
