😂 I have “chicken legs” and need my MX socks and knee guards to fill everything out!

@@BFAMOTO oooh ok I’m new lol

@@bobjenkins3rd your boots should be tight but still comfy. Most reputable brands/models of boots have good ankle pivot features. I’m partial to Astars Tech 7’s but I hear good things about the Gaerne SG12’s. Both are great mid-level boots. Not cheapos but also not stupid expensive.

Didn’t put too many hours on the stock pipe so a little hard to compare. If I had to comment I’d say it feels like the slight increase in low to mid range power also came with a smoothed out delivery if that makes sense. More noticeable on the “easy” map setting than the all out map.

@@BFAMOTO makes perfect sense. Thank you

Kind of true in general about the 450 XC-F! I will say it doesn’t look as bad when actually on the ground and sitting on it…probably because your body is absorbing it all!

You can access just North of the Gardner Middle School in San Manuel. Trail Riders of Southern Arizona have club rides there pretty frequently and are hosting an AMRA race on March 9th using these same trails!

@@BFAMOTO alright thanks i ride the single tracks out there alot but ive never seen this one looks fun

Yeah, it was a great day! First time riding with Steve and Joey….we had a fun group and covered a LOT of ground!

If the spokes are breaking often there might be another problem. Can you check rim runout? Even if just on the bike, spin the wheel and look for bent spots in all directions. If the rim looks pretty good I would get a full set of new spokes and change them out next tire change.

@@BFAMOTO yeah the rim runout is okay, if they will brake again too, i will replace all of them, thanks!

Yup, I hit PT hard and have been back on the bike for about 3 weeks now. Riding Red Springs in the morning but we should do some Marana soon!

@@BFAMOTO I'm going out in the morning and beat up Marana. Have fun down in Red Spring.

Deeper note for sure…and louder! Especially when on the gas.

Is it faster

@@pipefitterdirtbikerider3013 hard to say for sure because I didn’t put much time on the stock exhaust…but the bike absolutely rips with the FMF full exhaust! I needed the ability to put a spark arrestor in for racing too. It will also pass our typical 96dB sound restriction with just the spark arrestor screen. You can get a quiet insert too but I haven’t used it at all.

yes, that's typically what i do...find the higher ones and lower them to balance the rest...or find the extremely low/loose ones and bring them up slightly to match the rest. this definitely isn't a substitute for using a spoke torque wrench...just a quick way to find extremes either too tight or too loose and get them back closer with the rest

Dead Engine Starts are more of an offroad racing thing...motocross with gates that drop you would have the engine on and bouncing off the rev limiter.

It is epic...and yes I have gpx files I could send. You're going love living right there in the middle of it all. Kelly Canyon was my favorite parts. Send me your email and I will share them!

That would be awesome man. It is my first name.last name at g. Mail

Hey man, I pretty much leave it on the Map 1 setting. It likes to break traction enough as it is and like you said, it keeps the throttle response a bit smoother!

Hey man yes it was fun riding with you guys for a bit...you were shredding on that Husky! Very cool setup you had too, wasn't it a rally-type kit?

Yeah, that was me with the Nomad-Adv rally tower on the fe501. I can’t believe you got that big girl through the single track, you’re a machine!

Love the video! I was riding with Kris, and that was one of my favorite days out in quite a while. Let me know if you ever need more riders for future content, etc. 🤘

@@KobyDecker Heck yeah and it was obvious you were having a blast...same here! I'll be back up for next year too.

@@Agentwilliams122 Yeah but not without a couple boo-boo's! Those dirt roads and wide open fields is where it really shined 😉

For sure man, what's the best way to send it to you?

Me too! Can I get the file?

Awesome! Glad you guys ride together still...it would be awesome to visit!

Exactly, it's not a perfect method just a quick way to make sure you don't overly tight or loose spokes relative to the others. Ideally the spokes would have just the minimum tension require to true the wheel and no more which you'd have to start with them all loose and go from there...which would give you an idea of the starting point.

I thought I could insert a screen shot of the service manual here but spoke nipple torque for my dirt bike says 4.4ftlbs...which basically is all the way loose, snug back, then maybe 1/2 to a full turn. That would be your starting point tone if you needed to figure it out.

Take a quick listen to multiple spokes, then decide on the average tone- dont take into account the outliers, the ones that are way off the average tone. Be conservative while adjusting.

Yeah not bad for 65 years old! Wait until you see the next couple of videos in this little series!

Ducatis make all sorts of fun noises...especially their dry clutch engines and Desmodromic valves!

That's exactly what I use, I'm not always able to pick out different tones. Once you do it a couple of times on the same bike you'll be able to set the scale and then you can get it exactly right.

Great idea!

Meguiar's Gold Class soap and about 2oz soap to 5 gallon bucket!

For sure! Ironwood Forest...West of Tucson. Lots of fun 2-track type trails.

I actually have an ADV Bike Sand Riding video planned...it will be an instruction video focused on technique and how you can wrestle them big girls into submission!

Haha I snuck that it and you're the first to comment!

I could still ride faster than you while hurt don't worry!
