Two is one and one is none.

Nice work, I've never had speedo cable out.

Thank you for doing this video!

Nice ride and test, I need to do that with my DR650.

Better look with the smaller tank...more than enough range for where we ride. I'm doing the same build this winter, with the suspension. I think I will lower it also, using the built in method. Garth

500 miles is a long day! I’ve heard that metal skid plates are just too loud, especially on the DR. I guess they reflect all of the engine noise up at you.

I love my 5.3 on my DR. It's nice to see the gas left in the tank .

5 gallons seems perfect. Bigger is just a lot of weight and size, but if range is your priority 6.8 plus rotopax ftw

I’m taking notes. I’m buying used getting closer to looking for real. I’ll know what mods to look for and what I’ll need to do myself.

I'm in the market for my first bike and have mostly been looking at dual sports and 400-500 ADVs, but I sat on a KLR for the first time yesterday. It was actually way LESS intimidating than I expected, I'm 5'10" with a 30" inseam and was wearing western boots with very thin soles but still managed to keep the thing comfortably upright while talking to the sales guy for a good 10 minutes or so. I could definitely feel the weight when tipping it on and off the kickstand but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I expected. I tried the S model too but thought it was way less comfortable and still felt just as heavy. The KLR fits my intended riding really well - back roads and easy gravel/dirt roads in Central Oregon, with the occasional bit of highway touring - but it'd kind of written it off because of the size and weight, after sitting on it though I think it's my leading contender now.

Another good video!. Check where the speedo cable goes into the front wheel. Sometimes where the drive in the front wheel will not engage.

You’ve become a good rider in just a year, good job!

Beautiful

Isn’t a mechanical speedo. So check both ends or broke cable

Put same tank on my DR 650,best feeling ever not having to stress about mileage.Did sections 3&4 WABDR no worrying about fuel

Have you considered doing all of your own maintenance on the bikes? Both are very easy to work on. A great way to prepare to handle unexpected break downs in the backcountry. I’m a newbie and have done my oil changes, valve adjustments, brake fluid flushes, tire changes and balancing, and many other things. RU-vid University makes it pretty easy.

Well I'm glad the tank is just right, and you'll get the speedo fix ,I'm praying 🙏 for you, good 👍 job 😊😊

How many channels do you have? Think I’ve subscribed to 3. 👍

Great video, you have some great scenery and some back country roads in Utah that would make for some really incredible rides. Thank you for sharing. My 2023 KLR 650 Adventure is currently at 2100 miles…..all since purchasing in July! Stock Dunlops are holding up ok, looking forward to the next set, doing research, either Hidenaus K60 scouts or the Shinko 804/805 front rear combo.

Enjoying your channel. Noob here... What is the purpose of that tube for that's connected to your gas cap?

WoW man, you got an XT250 as well? Believe it or not this DR650 & the XT250 are both Dual Sports that I've been researching as possible bikes to buy. Very nice & now I'll have to dig into your stuff to look at what you've done w/ her as well. Well, that's given me 2x's the reasons to watch your channel. For now, back to the fuel take review. peace

I've been rolling this around to do to this to an xr650l. Thanks for the insight and possibilities. Ride safe bud.

Routinely get 235m out off mine without going to reserve putting about 4.5 gal back in. Mixed riding.

My speedometer stopped working on my KLR once. The screw connecting the cable to the speedo had backed out from the vibrations. Easy roadside fix.

Nice tire too. I’m getting this motorcycle next year hope they made huge upgrades

If I keep my DR between 55-60mph I average around 50mpg or more. I deleted the PAIR valve, the bike runs better and no popping noise on deceleration. Another thing I added was finned valve covers from Shotcraft to help keep the top of the engine cooler.

I tip mine on the kickstand until I hit the balance point . No need to pick it off the ground .

Excellent video, thank you for posting from a new KLR650 adventure ABS owner. Just over 2000 miles since purchasing back in July, 2023 model.

I am, definitely, on the same page as you with pretty much everything that you said. Well done!

I would've started with my foot stepped up really high in the lower prusik to cover the maximum distance with each step up. Am I missing something?

Ive caught some absolute giant cat fish in lake Powell in the 1980s

It's oddly rewarding to make it through those tough spots out in the wilderness. Exhilarating and terrifying. Then, back to civilization.

Plus the fact that the XT's speedo reads high about 10-12%. So 70mph indicated is likely 63 or less. The bike has got good power though. The weaving at speed can be reduced if you slide your weight back. Ultimately a proper suspension setup can help this as well. Great vids. Jen's input is fantastic as well. Cheers!

Yup, you definitely don't wanna land on a cholla. Ask my buttocks how I know. Always carry a good pair of pliers in case of cholla emergency.

To me that qualifies a VERY long ride! Yikes.

Wish i had known about the CFR300L enduro before i bought my DR650.

I have the same tank - and the turn signals touch it when I turn the handlebar until the end

I’m wanting to make the same conversion on mine the biiig tank is handy but I almost think it is too big. Awesome video keen to hear you’re longer term impressions 🍻👍🏽

I'm leaning towards the IMS 4.9...Its a bit leaner looking... plenty of range in my neck of the woods as I carry 1 gal roto...don't have to fiddle with stock turn single to boot

You can twist the carb inlet elbow counter clockwise a bit to make your fuel line more horizontal, there’s videos on here to show how to do it

Definitely a more practical sized tank.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice video. I hate the way the 6.6 tank looks.

Looks great with that windscreen.

She's looking good! Should be much easier to muscle her around in the tight bush.

Thanks for your work !! 😊

Looks better....almost seems like enough room to put the original tank shroud at the front?? Garth
