In the off-road department, the XT functions adequately, but it isn't motocrosser. Jeremy McGrath wouldn't be winning any Supercross events on this particular Yamaha, even though it sports 100cc's more displacement than his usual Yamaha. Landing a triple on the softly sprung suspension would be plain heinous, too. As a matter of fact, landing even moderate jumps on the XT had the rear end bottoming out and the tire hitting the underside of the fender. Air? Yes please. Big air? No thank you. No Crusty Demons highlights for this bike. Seth need not bother.
