Hi Phil

I think so without testing .
Guess 20-30 kg more then a XR400 and just 27 HP ,don't know how good the copie of Shock and Forks are .

But if all XR Parts fit .
XR400 Parts are easy to find in USA
Change Shock and Fork with a good second hand XR Part
440 cc kit easy to get .
If the Gearbox and Frame can keep up with the higher power i will maybe make a nice go everywhere tourer.

Or the other Way around if the 18L Tank and seat will fit on the XR.

Hi Guys


The WK Trail 400 is just a re-badge Shineray X5 AKA XY400GY and it have a smaller brother called the XY250GY-6B.


Fist lunched over 2 years ago in china manufactured in the Hud of the Chinese motorbike industrial
from Chongqing China .


Here are some links about the bike.

Interesting Review 32 pages long for the last 2 years on the X5 but remember this was the first of the X5 and there use the Chinese market as Beta tester and so most of the original problems have been sorted out.

Cost in China between £2500 - £2700 ( 130.000 - 140.000 B )


Here is a link to Taobao for the bike and parts what is interesting is after 2 years on the home market, the Taobao sellers list the most needed replacements parts the bikes requires, so from a look at what parts are listed give you a good ideal on the weak links for the bike ??

IMO stick with the Honda CRF250L at 130.000 B
