This channel will be about outdoor recreation . I have reached a point in my life that my work schedule allows me flexibility to travel and enjoy myself in the great outdoors. I love to camp, cook, fish, and ride motorcycles. I want to show you how you and your family can do these things. I am a Paramedic and will have some first aid to help you at home and out in the woods.
Never camped or fished? I'll show you how. RV and campground reviews. Let's fire up some charcoal and then throw the cast iron Dutch Oven on for some great food while we sit and chat. I hope to have a little something for everyone here.

I had one just like it! I got rid of the sissy bar eventually.
Parts r hell 2 find 4 those bikes
This bike for basically $2500 or a XR150L if I can find one for 3500ish?
Good question. In my mind, the X-Pect is fine IF you can do some, or most, of any work it needs. I learned how to adjust valves, which was nice. Because I had to, though. It was blowing oil out through the breather tube and then out of the drains on the breather box. If this was a new Kawasaki or Honda, then I would have had it fixed under warranty. I think for the money it's been fine but an XL150 might be more attractive to others for those reasons.
@@gypsymedic5402 I wouldn’t be too concerned if it was just valve adjustments. But some other reviews state other major issues like the ECU and 4th gear not working. The quality control isn’t there it’d be just my luck I get a lemon. Though I’m considering taking the gamble, I’ve seen some 150s marked up to $5,000. At that point I’ll buy a used ninja. But for my first street legal bike it’s going to get beat up. The main reason I want something cheap😂
Do you have a link to the seat patting?
No, sorry. I bought that someplace locally se eral bikes ago. Amazon does have some like it tho
Fantastic job on the video. I really appreciate the drive in along with the check in process. I really liked the part when you were requesting another site, that little part answered a lot for me.
I'm glad you enjoyed it and got something out of it. Thanks for the feedback.
Do you recall what kind of adjustable back rest you had on the bike?
That is not even single track. Really the KLR is just too big and heavy for much off road use. Why they are known as the PIG. Once they start going over they GO and impossible to save. Out west it would be better but in the woods they suck. Wanting an XPECT for this reason.
Had a KLR. Big heavy PIGs. Great bikes for what they are and the newer ones even better. Mine was a 2008. Funny thing is that I'm going reverse of what you did. I'm about to pull the trigger on an XPECT 200. I want smaller and lighter for what I want to do with it but not a more off-road oriented dual sport / enduro bike so I am thinking it will fit my needs and wants. I do wish the Lifan would go a bit faster for short highway jaunts like the KLR but the PIG has 3X the motor and horsepower. I was hoping to see a comparison between the two bikes. Very familiar with the KLR but not much on the XPECT. I want the XPECT but going between that and the $1K more Lifan KPX 250 as it has 6 gears, more ponies and will do a short expressway run better than the 200 but is it worth the extra $1K $$$.
Lol, i just dropped mine in thick gravel this morning. I had to use both handlebars to lift it. The rear kept sliding on me. These stock tires are no good off-road.
What did the customer service say the valves should be at?
Hello is this still for sale??
New subscriber here because I just found your channel. Love the KLR content and when you mixed the KLR with camping , made me a fan and a follower. I am looking forward to binge watching your videos now to catch up with your videos. Thanks Mark from Maryland
Thanks I'm looking at the KPX 250 it's big brother
I think the extra 50cc would be nice. Just a little extra pop to it.
thats what she said !
Thanks for the great review, thinking about picking up a used one with 5k miles for 1500. Think its a good deal, would you mind telling us where you purchased the sprocket from?
Amazon.
JT Sprockets JTF1264.17 17T Steel Front Sprocket  
After looking at these for years, I finally ordered one. No more beating my Grom and ADV 150 on trails. I don’t ride hard on trails but I also can’t shy away from a trail. Just having taller wheels and more clearance will be huge. Pretty excited to add another bike to the stable, especially as cheap as it is.
Where did you purchase this bike?
Great Video. I love the Xpect 200. Well build for a Chinese bike. I have 2 of them. Red is faster. Haha
You should be standing a lot more when riding in rocky and muddy areas. You'll gain more control over the bike and you won't have the looking through the windshield issue.
Not really is this terrain.
Are you sure that's a 3800 and not the 4800?
can you tell me what seat pad that is on the bottom? It looks like the Coleman Maddog from Amazon.I have this bike and I'm not enjoying the seat too much. The bike is so low and small. thanx
Coleman Maddog. $20- on Amazon.
Great looking bike 👍enjoy . One curious question. How many miles was on it when the dealer delivered it ?
If I remember correctly it was .6.
@@kevinjenckes1799 thanks Kevin !! I subscribed looking forward to seeing the new mods.
I have the same one and color. Bought in August from Powersports Max in California. Delivered to my house in Jersey, I put a few pieces on and was riding. Registered and insured. Great 1st bike. have not rode in 40 years.
Thanks - Excellent info. We’re going there for my wife’s birthday in November. All I could get was a preferred site and I was worried about fitting a 27-ft 5th wheel. Now, I pretty confident. Thanks again
Where you get the front shield from friend?
I was yelling at my monitor like "Noooooo!!".....LOL.....I've been there, with my DRZ and Crappy stock tires....constant dropping and fishtailing....I switched to more Aggressive tires and it's a World of difference......the terrains I could barely cross before, are literally a walk in the park now, I just go right threw, barely even spinning tires...Lol. Bikes are compromise.....and so are tires. Here's how I gauge a trail......Say I gotta work hard to "cross" a rough spot, ok......well just remember you gotta come BACK threw it to leave later.....so that is my gauge, am I going to have the energy to fight my way back later? Know your limits, because you can always find another trail....If you feel it getting too deep, Turn Around, it's incredibly easy to get pinched in a bad spot.
Bring a saw is the lesson today. Ya we have all been there. Ah, it would take too long to tell you. Best Wishes from Montana M.H
I have enjoyed watching these videos this morning. Thank you. Would you be able to email me a list of sites that you prefer for bigger rigs?
I don't have a list but... wildernessprincess.net has loop information to include the length and width of each site as well as a picture. I use her info all the time.
Is she still for sale?
The important thing is to know when to turn around before you start going down the Rabbit hole. Trails never get better they get worse. I like to explore, enjoy the scenery and not stress or ware myself out.
Yes!!! I was screaming at my monitor like Noooooo......Because I've Been down this road SO many times.....But I guess you won't learn unless you get thrown into shit. Just remember this.....if you make it threw a tough spot.....you STILL gotta come back threw it again! LOL.....that is usually my "gauge" for if I'm going threw or not.
I have the same model and year bike I found in a motor home repair warehouse. It was dusty but not rusty, the took it as part of a trade in so sat around. It was running running rough but I knew the carbs would be gummed up so I took them apart and puttem together, gaskets boots, rejeted for altitude, I didn't need to dip clean but they cleaned up well. Yes the intake filter is a stock KanN style for using filter oil and washable.
I own a 2021 BMW 1250GSA and I still jump on my 2021 Xpect for my riding around town. My entire town is 25-35mph so this is plenty. I find it more fun to drive around town then the BMW. I'm actually putting a large rear sprocket ( a JT 50 tooth). When I purchased mine in May 21' it was $1700, $2000 shipped at my door. I put the handlebar and controls on and changed the oil and haven't looked back since.
Love the color and the fuel injection. Enjoy the Ride!
Good review but guys don't do Mickey lights or Disney anything on bikes 😁. You asked 🤷♂️. Disney is full of pedophiles.
I'm on the fence but leaning towards trying a 2022 model.
I'm finding myself more likely to jump on this than my Nomad for short rides. Still very happy with it overall.
Excellent video... Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, I appreciate it
Yes, definitely one of my favorite xpect videos. Small engine velocity has a couple good ones too.
My local Honda dealer has been selling these because they can't get Honda inventory. 😂
i think the base model is a great way to go if you are hands on type or rider, replacing the doohickie, oil plug bolt, therobob, foot pegs etc seems to be the best mods to start with, but so far all the reviews say the stock handlebars are weak during falls, the hard cases are very thin and if your rough on trails will crack where they mount and the foot pegs are droopy because of the rubber mounting. and also the top model with crash bars is kind of silly because it's like 1/3rd crash protection, the engine case will be okay but the plastics and shift lever will get jacked up, 3rd party crash bars will be better for sure. and also cheaper, if i buy one of these i will get the base model also and then add to it as i improve (never even been on a motorcycle before, so i will not be doing off road trails for awhile) but i'm old, and also disabled, and also a broke loser, i'll never get one tbh, so i just watch videos like this one and dream about it
too bad on the hole size, there are videos showing how to lower the rear brake pedal on the 2022
Thanks. I'm going to give it a couple hundred miles before I make my decision on that. The biggest problem braking and shifting I have now, as it turns out, is going back and forth from the KLR to my Nomad which has floor boards and toe/heal shifting. Throws me all off for the first few minutes.
@@gypsymedic5402 thanks for the video! You should check out a video on break adjustment, it's super easy to do and makes the bike fit you better.
p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶ 💞
I like it.
Why do you have to adjust the valves?
There appear to be several reasons. 1-Consistency from the factory doesn't seem good 2-As it breaks in they need to be tweaked and I think that's fairly common for most bikes 3-they get set tight (this is a theory I read before I bought it) to help lean it out for California requirements.
@@gypsymedic5402 That doesn't make sense because this bike can't be sold to California, according to the Amazon page. This bike doesn't meet California requirements.
Most bikes and small engines will need valve adjustments. I have a built Grom that needs them every 600-800miles because the exhaust side gets tight. Valve adjustment really makes them start easy and opens up the top end.
Cool idea ! I'm guessing it's water proof
Yes it is. They're great boxes and about 1/3rd of a Pelican case. $65.00 at Harbor Freight.
common mistake - break=broken, brake=stop
Tusk sells footpeg lowering kit which moves pegs back an inch
I agree with your assessment of dead bikers. But there are a lot of car drivers that should not be allowed to drive. I think our standards for driving competence are far too low in relation to the damage + death such low standards create.
Good info. I am curious: what, if any, rights do accident victims have? Are paramedics + police allowed to do anything they want, or even nothing at all? Or are they subject to certain duties to respond and evaluate?
Police, Fire, and EMS are a good cross sampling of society, as in, biases about things. Bikers are sometimes called "Organ Donors" but, and this is a huge one, all bike accidents I have ever been to have been aggressively and appropriately investigated and the riders aggressively and appropriately treated. Biases do not spill into investigating the causes or the treatment of the patients. In the US the rules for patient care are that we are supposed to do the right thing for every patient every time and that is what I have seen. Patient care wise, on the street and in the hospitals, I have heard some smart ass comments like "What did you expect " but the care is not affected by this. If it was the bikers fault then they get charged and vice-versa with the car's driver. Accident victim's rights are the same regardless if they are on a bike, car, or a dump truck. Now, keep in mind that a lot of studies have been done around the expense for caring for motorcycle accidents. They are expensive patients. More expensive when helmets aren't worn because severely brain injured patients can live a long time after other trauma is fixed and heals. This is also a good time to point out that even when we see someone we know isn't going to have a good out come, including death, they still get the helicopter and the trauma center and all the super expensive care. Everyone deserves the chance to have a good outcome, including their families.
Enjoying your videos. I appreciate the opportunity to get a set of your risers.
I appreciate it. 4 more days...
I'm assuming the bike's electrical system can handle the full heated gear load? There is still plenty of juice to keep the battery charging? Thanks!
The 3rd generation has a beefed up stator and charging system. I didn't see a single issue using my plug ins with this bike.
Nobody complains about the 5 speed on the DR or XR because they have not had a makeover in 20 years. The KLR just had a major refit and they left the damn 5 speed! Fuel tank? Meh, after markets are everywhere for them.
The comparison was for the price out the door side by side with OEM. If you add in a larger tank then the XR and DR will be an additional $300+. As to the power plant, the only thing they changed was a better charging system and fuel injection. That power plant is a proven, bullet proof, system so why change it. If they had completely redesigned the engine and tranny then sure, lets redo the gearing. But, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have 3 other bikes; GS1000, Nomad 1600, and a Lifan X-pect 200 and they all have 5 speeds.
