There is really no good video explaining how to make turns on gravel. Same as on pavement? Should the rear tyre be slipping? Should we make it lose traction by rear braking or opening the throttle? This video was great but maybe you could do a part two on making turns?
I could do a part two, maybe when the weather gets better. The bike turns in the same way no matter what surface you're on. You just have to be careful not to lean too far. The most common body position is to keep your body upright and lean the bike. This works especially well while standing. Start slow and work your way to higher speed. Don't overthink it and you'll do fine!
It looks like you've got tusk dsports on your bike. How are those working out for you? I have those on my big bike (KLR 650), and am considering getting some for my KLX300. Wondering how the are on a smaller bike. On the KLR they made the front wobble disturbingly for the first 500 miles until they were worn down some. The wobble is only distracting now. But I've got 7000 miles on them and they still have some life left, even though a lot of that was on pavement.
You’re correct, they are dsport tires. Overall I’ve really liked them. The front tire I have started are smooth but has gotten more wobbly as time has gone on. Also the front likes to wash out around corners. I’ve made a couple short review videos on these tires, you’ll get a better idea of my experience there.
Gravel roads around here can vary quite widely. It can depend on the area/region, when the road was last redone by the county, amount of traffic, etc. These are the most common types I have in my area. But a couple counties away from where this was filmed, they put down fresh crushed rock more frequently.
