Should have bought a KLR

I just got home from a fun weekend at tigerton. I took the ktm 890s for a few laps. It was a sloppy muddy mess but still fun

How do you afford all of these?

stock trail wings on a DR650..slippery snot mud..noooooooooo BUT dry / moist dirt can do..gravel fire road..can do.. paved roads trail wings are pretty good.. POINT know your tires..Know their limits..your turn SWANK.. 701 for hard single track is to heavy..add mud and bolder rocks, just asking for trouble..aka crashed bike broken parts and worse case cracked cases.. not fun in my books...you know better.. that said ..like your vids ..more please.. good on ya :0)

I’ve own all 3 the xr and dr was super moto conversión the klr had stock wheel but in confort the klr is the best in my opinion

Nice setup! What’s the radio that you use?

If it was a bit drier, the video wouldn't have been so fun to watch. lol. I think you both did great. I need to get rid of the Trailwings too.

The tusk dsports are cheap enough thats there is no real reason not to try them. Tires are a consumable. Theres always miles to try something else.

I've have very good luck with the shinko 700e tires on my klr,been cought in many rainstorms on less then desirable trials and roads.

Once you’ve got either one of those bikes dialed in to suit you, it’s very hard to want anything else.

To be honest I won’t even run D606 / d sports offroad they still are a huge compromise when it gets tough

Awesome video man. Keep it up!

The only tired I found that ripped on dirt and survived for a decent while on street were max it desert tires

Great ride guys. Wet and a specialy rainny days off road a alwasy a chalenge . I have the Michelin Anekee Wild on my KLR and I find them the perfect 50/50 tire.

Where is this

Hey Ben what kind of communicator are you and Jason using?

I find the harder the trail the more memorable and enjoyable. Keep pushing and ride on.

Nice Country, Nice Bikes! Enjoying the ride

Debería traer 21" en frente para ser perfecta.

That big heavy Suzuki with slick tires on those wet trails and your buddy is wearing boots. Protect your ankles, my dude.

I have been puzzled by this channel since the first time I saw it .Strava? Any app that tracks mileage? When was the last time you put in anything significant on a freeway or highway? You know, the dual part of dual sport. Dual is supposed to mean you can have some balance of on and off-road.. and the bike is supposed to be able to carry you and some gear camping, fishing or riding, hundreds if not thousands of miles from where you live. Most tires are a trade off no doubt, but if you have tires w no road manners you end up off road or laying on the road because tire casing, composition, construction and tread pattern, were not effective in traffic, rain or turning while on pavement.. showing a tipped bike on a fire or logging road @90% of the time has little to do w the tires. Often a Harley ridden at the right speed can handle @75% of what middle aged are calling technical and " challenging".. before you pick tires that turn your motorcycle into an on road vibrator, think it through, using an app. Dozens of good free ones available.. turn on when you start and take a look at it when you stop.. you will likely discover that your off road percentage is much much much lower than all the macho feelings that people have.. pick tires accordingly and never for looks

I love riding in the rain. It reminds me of the great times I had as a kid on my 50cc, and the 3 wheelers. These days, having heavy duty tubes and Dsports are a must on my dual sport because I will absolutely air down for maximum traction. But I live in Louisiana, and it’s just what we do here since everywhere you go is like soup mud. So we are kind of forced to learn to ride in mud, and achieving Max traction is just second nature.

This is a really fun video. The two-way interchange with your two different POVs is very interesting. Good job, guys! You are intrepid!

I spooned the Waypoint Adventures onto my 701 yesterday. Couple of small sockets wedged between that stiff sidewall and the rim, forces the tire to stay down in the well, and makes for a rather easy install. Really appreciate how quiet they are on pavement, but done little in the dirt so far. Might become my go-to tires...

Lol because you like to be stranded when something breaks, and no one on the trails will have tools to help you when it breaks down. Good luck out there, you do have gobs of power but more power can be more problems.

When a carb bike tips over sometimes they get fuel stuck in the float bowl over flow line. This causes a bit of an air lock that needs to get cleared out so the float bowl can get ambient pressure again. I'm assuming this might have been what Jason experienced with the bike running poorly after dropping the bike. In the KLR world there is a 'T-Mod' to help with this. I think the DR has the second, smaller air filter on that line?

Tigerton used to be alot better, now your not supposed to have bikes on anything but the single track apparently, and they got rid of the challenge track

Sometimes that dumb slide filter under seat gets knocked over close to intake then it wont breath right causes all sorts throttle issues. Pilot jet is idle and starting, main will stumble about 1/2 3/4 throttle. Also there is a fuel filter in the metal inlet where the hose attaches at the carb.

Nice ridding guys. Haha the first time I rode my new dr stock gearing and trailwings I broke both rear turn signals off on trails lol had to make some adjustments to suit my ridding. I'm wondering if his starting idling issue is jetting the dr way lean stock and looks nice and cool where your riding so most likely super lean.

😁 That trail was a handful on my CRF300L with fresh knobs in much drier conditions. The other 2 or 3 mile single track still hasn’t been connected, a land use conflict I think, you need to hit the road to access it. It’s more open and flows better than this track but still challenging enough to be fun.

Riding big heavy bikes off-road IS very physically demanding, for sure. Folks never believed me when I raced MX and told them its one of the most physically demanding sports, period. Folks just assume because its a motorsport, there's not much physicality involved with it; not true! One of the most tired and physically drained I've ever been on a bike, is when I did a Hare Scramble race. Lots of single track like what you're riding on at a race pace and it went on for hours! Keep practicing, Jason!

On my dr650 when the bikes cold it sometimes feels like the slide on the carb is dragging or something then when it warms up it go's away.

I hate mud no matter what bike or tire I'm on.

I wonder what a surron X would do a those single tracks (?)

could you get it to fit a tw?

Thank you for the comparisons. Helpful.😊

Great detailed video man! Thanks for sharing, 1 question because I have a T7 as well, is this the large or small bag?

A link or a name for the bright yellow phone support, please?

Sounds like a sewing machine!

Are you putting your tape measure against the chain protector? Or against the swing arm itself?

This helps, thank you! :)

I have DRz 400 with 37 inch seat height.. the only time it’s too tall is if I’m off Camber on trail and try to put a foot down. (30 inch inseam) I adjusted the preload so it sags a lot when I sit on it but a lowering kit wouldn’t hurt. A new seat concept seat can lower your height by an inch or two as well
