I commute up and down 787 at around 90mph on the regular. Now im questioning how fast I am really going lol. Ill have to use the app to compare tomorrow.
@@adventuresofjasonjulie8993 That is GREAT! Im about to get a lil debit lol Cheap one though ...to buy a nice truck... built a camper... which is modular... it opens up 2 extra 8x8 ft boxes or you can leave them closed... and it also pops up for the double bed and 2 bunker beds... great setup... we can sleep many inside... but confortably 6 in the truck and 6 in the camper. anyways... I wanted to take my dirtbike with it... now I can lol I
I want to have a shtf deal ready to go... and living in an area where unfortunately there are wild fires... it might happen more often than I think... anyways... That is what I have in mind... Find a nice spot... park there... get the bike... scout the area... get back... secure the place... and relax.
Why not try red lock tight instewd welding it .. for guys don't have welders lol duno got Dr 650 think putting it on cheap racks but duno maybe weld it .
Hey Kyle. Sorry for the late reply. I have had some phone issues and just got them straightened out. 3x3 is an air box mod. Google 3x3 mod dr650. It just adds three inches of intake air. The 3x3 is size of the hole, thereby making it adaptable to use a k&N filter.
Thanks for taking us a long for the ride ! I used the 14/42 sprocket ratio on our DR 650 and had a similar experience noting 60 MPH was close to what I thought the engine liked for cruising . Most of my riding is back roads with a little highway riding . I reckon at 21:50 is why Suzuki put the DR 650 out from the factory with the 15/42 sprocket ratio so it would fit in about anywhere . Do you folks have many deer in your area ? We have a lot and that's one of my biggest fear riding .
@@adventuresofjasonjulie8993 I live in indiana but ride in Tennessee where family is if u know where brimestone rec and Royal blue is we live in middle of the 2
Jaso, THX for sharing your adventure! Building a lite weight adv bike this winter to go after the same passes. Ouray is pronounced like Uray, no worries though everyone pronounces it with the O. All the best to you and Julie!
Great video and review of everything, thank you! Curious , since Mulberry lodging is full for when we want to go, does it matter where we stay? North, south, east or west sides to access the same trails? Looking for options for a airbnb for March
With the bed extender, would it be possible to put a gun case in the back securely? I want a Talon, but I also deer hunt. I currently have a Pioneer 700 with no issues hauling to much. I appreciate it!!
Brad, in all honesty I've seen gun racks mounted on the roll bar of 2 doors. If you have a 4 door you could utilize the roof space for placement. But with the 2 door you would not have much room for hauling. We too came from a pioneer 700 SE to a talon.. love our talon.. but it's just a toy.
Greetings Jason As always excellent detailed video 🇺🇸🎉🍾🇺🇸 Did the mid pipe get too close to the shock spring? Could you tell me how close is? Thank you for assisting me. Keep producing more videos.
Thanks for sharing. Was thinking of ordering the same pipe but don't really want it too much louder then stock, darn it... Also wondering if the db killer you ordered is quieter then the one the pipe comes with? Are they the same shape? For those concerned about getting scammed Dominator also sell through their Amazon account... BTW, I think you meant Poland not Netherlands...
You won't regret it! It is gorgeous!! Since Silverton doesn't allow UTVs anymore go to Lake City, CO. Other side of the mountain and they welcome you with open arms. The businesses are phenomenal and everyone is so welcoming. We stayed at Henson Creek RV park. Most people there are yearly residents but I've never had a better RV park or park residents. We had a truck battery issue and one of the residents helped me jump the truck to get it down to Rene's Garage to get new batteries. Yet another business to save the day!! Lake city provides several trail entrances close by. Many gift shops, restaurants and a brewery!!! Let me know if you have specific questions.
@@adventuresofjasonjulie8993 Awesome glad to hear about the good people in Lake City. Thanks for the info. We can’t wait to go. The girls keep asking me (Josh) every weekend if we’re taking the Rzr somewhere.
Looks like a good time was had by all. How did the Talon perform? Any unexpected problems? Any aspects in which it particularly shines? As always, thanks much for sharing. Steve
Steve, The Talon performed flawlessly. The terrain was very mild (in my opinion) with brief inlays of off roading here and there. It was nice to have the enclosure and heater as the mornings were quite brisk and unexpectedly cool. Nothing a nice over jacket could not have handled, but it was nice to have the heat and windows all the same. We did find some really good rock crawling on Poughkeepsie pass. The only problem we had, was self-imposed (as usual). When we arrived in Colorado, I noticed antifreeze in the toy hauler. I had overtightened a clamp on the heater system, and it was leaking, so we had to find a new clamp, replace, and fill. We were so fortunate that Lake City Co. has a utv dealer in town, so they were instrumental in getting us back on the trail, and super friendly people. The Talon has turned out to be a wonderful machine that is as reliable as the sunrise. I don't really care for the so-short wheelbase, but it works perfectly for our needs and fits like it was made for our toy hauler. As far as it shining, it shines in every category. We did 10+ hours a day in the talon with no comfort issues, and no worries of any trail. We often wheel alone and feel completely safe and have no reservations of the trails we travel. We rode most of the time in normal suspension mode, while sport mode is used for higher speeds on gravel and pavement. For what the machine is, the build is perfect for what we do and where we go. I will add though, we are going to upgrade to the PRP heated seats and a four-point harness, the factory seat belts left us both raw on the neck after day 2. Not much, but that is my only complaint about the talon. I hope this answers your question and thank you for watching.
I picked up a very low milage DR with 3 more years of factory warranty. The stock gearing would sling shot me out the driveway and I figured that would mean a lot of clutch work at low speeds on bush tote roads so I went with a 15/45 set up. I have not yet had a chance to test my prediction.
15/45 will tame it down a little, I am currently running a 14/42 set up for around town, country highway and forest riding. the 14/45 was too low for highway speeds so I went back to the stock rear sprocket when I got back from Colorado, and nearly melted the rear end down. While I had it all apart, I went back to the stock rear, and it seems to be working out for the time being. It's like I can't find the perfect combination.
Just came across your vid. I saw your section on the helmet cam set up. I see you are using a GoPro Hero 3 or similar. I would like to urge you to upgrade that camera to at least a 7, if not newer, to get better resolution and image stabilization. I waited too long to do it and wish I had done it years ago. Now I have tons of footage of great rides that is almost unwatchable due to the lack of image stabilization. They don't need a case either. I suggest that you record in at least 2K, 60 for best editing / quality. No dig, just solid advice from a fellow RU-vidr. I got my 7 black mid 2020. If you look at some of my footage from early 2020 and before compared to late 2020 and beyond, you will see the difference. ( www.youtube.com/@dirtbikeaddicts3172 ) I ended up braking my leg pretty badly at the end of 2020 and basically ended my trail riding. I had so much great footage from before. Kicking myself for not getting a better camera earlier. Best wishes.
Hey old man, Thanks for the looking out. We have since upgraded to a 9 series go pro, and you are correct, there is no comparison. Just have a hard time letting go of money spent, i guess. The 4 does good but is lacking. I keep in on the bike helmet due to it being dispensable. Sorry to hear you are not able to ride no more, and if nothing else, I'll use the better camera on the next ride, so men like you can enjoy the ride a little better, even if it is from home. Thank you for following, and stay tuned, we have more riding coming up. We are doing a levee ride in southern Mississippi to close out the year, GOD willing.
@@adventuresofjasonjulie8993 Thanks for the reply. I felt the same way. I suggest making it your main camera. I actually picked up a second one from Facebook marketplace. I just picked up a 2013 DR650SE with 1100 miles on it. Going to do some minor mods on the carb, the NSU screws and some other things. We will see how this DS thing goes. A lot safer than single track for sure. Best of luck Jason.

@@adventuresofjasonjulie8993 you have good info to offer, the content is good, your skills and such but you repeat some things too often and speak on, as though we're hanging out over a beer. When someone is looking for useful data, it's tiring. Turning away to get a tool and such can be edited out. If you are happy continuing as you are, fine. I think people interact on many levels and feedback is part of that process. No stress anyway, be well. I have a DR parked as I can't afford to keep it running right now. It came from US or Canada, somewhat modified but I don't know size jets and such but it has a kit in there. It's a lovely machine and fun to tinker with. God bless.
@@rudolphmurphy1847 keep in mind not everyone are professional speakers. As the videos progress we find ways to improve in content and all. Thank you for your feedback and have a great evening.
@@adventuresofjasonjulie8993 my seven year old son wants to be a utuber but I'm tired of trying to keep up with learning new technology. I don't have a working knowledge of making, editing and such, of videos. I just scroll around and listen to anything that grabs my attention. I look to God for His Way, I'm tired of this world and how we have it and treat each other... These are special times.
@@rudolphmurphy1847 , this is Jason. I appreciate your honesty and feedback. After watching, editing, and reviewing, I agree with you.... But keep in mind too, I am also a beginner. I'm not a professional, and I do not make my money doing my documentaries. I do them to help other people and just document the things we do. I agree I do repeat and sometimes repeat, but it's usually a nervous tick. On this particular ride, it was very long and taxing It helps for me to keep talking, and I may repeat, but during the ride Although I try to keep the conversation to where I am and current situations pertaining to the ride, I find that I do repeat certain things, its usually out of situational nervousness or useless ramblings. Your son will learn as he goes too. If you follow the videos back almost a year to date, you will see I posted the first video, where I explain that I'm a newbie. I haven't gotten a whole lot better, but I don't chase it for revenue or accolades, it's just a fun way to document our outings. I will try keep this in mind as we go forward, although, If I edit out all of the talking, there wouldn't be much left to post, joking. Seriously though, thank you for the feedback and I hope to see your son as the next you tube sensation.
Nice video and good to mention the hand signals there are a lot of new off-roaders that don't know them. I was one of them before lol. I think were going to take the Rzr and hit the alpine loop next summer. I'm hoping to get a Dual sport bike in the near future. Probably go with a smaller bike looking at the Kawasaki KLX 300.
We are looking at going to Mill Creek next spring break. We usually go over to Red River NM, we have a few videos on our channel. We are wanting some different scenery and my wife is from Arkansas. Great info video Thanks see ya out on the trails.
Let's us know when you go, we will try make a weekend out of it. If you are on Facebook, join us at Magnolia Offroad. We will be scheduling and organizing rides throughout the year! We will check out your videos. We have not been to Red River New Mexico. May have to check that one out!!
While your results are bang on, if you do the math opposite the numbers are more relatable (to car guys at any rate): 42/15= 2.8:1 final drive ratio (stock) 42/14= 3:1 (lower) final drive ratio. 43/15= 2.867:1 final drive ratio. Stock was okay but lacked off road low speed, went fast enough though. 42/14 was way snappier but 120kph is about the upper limit for sustained highway travel (my opinion). 14 tooth showed wear pretty quick due to the small diameter as well, I imagine a 13 would wear very quick. While swapping them out will do as you suggest I don’t think you will need to. My solution so far is 15/43 plus a TM40 (and exhaust); the gearing is just a bit lower (great torque) but 120+ is still no issue (moderate RPM). Looks like a great bike, more so when all your parts show up.👍
15/43 in actual seat turned out to be way to high. 14/46 would have been perfect. Now that we are home. I'm running a 14/43 for highway set up and it's perfect. Thanks for the input. Keep watching !
Went through the Lees Valley a few days ago on my '15 DR650, still running it in. Fully set up. 78km's off road. South Island of New Zealand. Thanks for the post. Just subscibed.
@@adventuresofjasonjulie8993 Copy. One more question.... a bunch of tires available for the rear are 130's (Kenda, Dunlop, etc). Stock is 120. I'm thinking of dropping front sprocket down to 14T and keeping stock 42T on rear... Just because the rear 130 tire is taller. What have you found on this?
What's up Jason. Was curious why you chose the talon over the other stuff out there? Also, if you could do your talon build over, what would you do different? I'm thinking of getting a 2022 talon, but also waiting to see what comes out in 2023. Thanks bud
The Talon is shaft drive and honestly I grew up on Hondas. I've abused them for years and they are bulletproof. Not preferential of one over the other, just go with what you know kinda thing. As far as the Talon build.....don't know that I would do anything different. We built it as a team, (Julie and I) for the type riding we do, and it's perfect. I have built several and have a really good knowledge of what I was going to do before we bought it. Don't wait....go get, get out there and love the life. The longer you wait the more confusing it gets. The only other advice I've got is make sure it's something yall are actually going to use. The market is flooded with want verses need. We love offroading and plan constantly for the next ride, it's "OUR" thing, it's what we do. For a lot of people the extra money to outfit, the hauling to trails, the hotels and cabins is just to overwhelming and they are stuck with a 30k garage space taker. Hope this helps bro.
@@adventuresofjasonjulie8993 appreciate the knowledge, thank you. It would be my first utv. I've had multiple honda sport bikes, never let me down. We were in to the ski boat/lake life thing for a while. Kinda over it. I hear what you're saying about the garage queen thing. That's why I was also considering getting it plated, so we can ride around the streets now and then. Thank you again for the information, and for your straight up video style. Cheers
@@stormchildkennelsjasontrac6749 more than welcome! And thanks for the comments. We just wanted to help the next person out with the honest opinion and performances of equipment.
