    Hi all,
    What would be the best mods for my TE511 for street use? Pardon my ignorance, but I'm new to this world of thumpers. Already have Warp 9 wheelset and FMF slip on. Also what was the difference between the SMR511 and TE511 besides the wheelset? Again pardon my ignorance. Any other suggestions are highly appreciated.

    You should post this in the 4 stroke section. I have a 2012 TE511, it is a dirt bike with a license plate.
    Fun to squirt around on 2 lane some, but built for the dirt. Look at your manual, at the service intervals,
    Not built for high mileage touring.

    I use my TE 449 on the road, I just put road tyres on a set of SMR rims, and changed the rear Sprocket, it is fine, do not do high mileage though. I am thinking of putting even a smaller rear sprocket on it just to reduce the revs a little for higher speeds, as for service, it is not too bad for intervals, just change engine oil often, cheap filter and little amount of oil not the end of the world
