      Sandraiders can offer insurance that you pay on arrival to Morocco … just let Marc know in advance that you require insurance… I believe it’s around €100 Euros… I could not find cover in the UK.

    I fully appreciate the advise you are freely giving to the Dakar inspired community. I subbed last video because you mentioned Perry Leaske in your last vlog. Spent many a time hanging over the ropes cheering on Perry Leaske as a teenager. Have a KTM 640 Adventure I’m rebuilding and I intend getting to Leaske for suspension rebuild and get to sand raiders 2025. Thank you for your help 🤘

    Excellent video!!! Thanks!!! Personally (riding for fun), I own and ride the same XR600R since 1994. (Is this 30 years? my god!!! 😂) I also owned and tested some other things... I would say that XR is a very universal purpose machine, but beyond that for some common dirty riding conditions it prevents pilot fatigue, much more that any other bike I tested. After some 4 hours following tracks with many mellon sized rocks my much younger friends with new style bikes are destroyed, while I feel little fatigue. A bit the concept that Scott Summers was explaining about his GNCC success. He was slower in the first hour, but well faster in the third hour. Of course the XR is a handicap in a trials section, specially if it stops 😂for some reason, but at the same time it is impressive how it climbs better than lighter new enduro machines in rought terrain, while not adding fatigue to the pilot. A total pleasure !!!

    Great video love these bikes . One thing you should probably check. The two banjo bolts that hold the pipe between the head and crankcase are two different part numbers and have different size holes for the oil feed.The darker one goes next to the oil filter and the zinc one goes to the head. I noticed your head bolt was the darker one. Might be worth checking .

      @@nicowarr ... The XR600R feels a bit more "peppy" than the NX650 engine but in fairness it's just been rebuilt... I like kick start engines for the Sandraiders as the battery cannot go flat but many prefer the electric start as if stalled on the side of a hill, it's much easier to get going .... In one of my Sandraiders 2023 (pt4 The dead camel), I got lost and dropped the bike... It nearly did not start and the battery was running low ... It made me think about having a flat battery in the middle of nowhere on your own 😳 ... Yes, we have an emergency GPS tracker fitted, so you should be safe ....

That XR 600 will definetly turn things a lot easier and enjoyable; watch the wheels for bearings and spokes, avoid any weight hanging on the rear fender and use nothing else but Michelin Desert Bib mousses on that in case you're in for this year.

It's mostly standard except for the suspension, that has a replacement Wilbers rear shock and matching progressive front springs with 10w oil. It's a fabulous event and a lot of fun... Hard work.
