Big Mountain Single Track | DR 650 & CRF 450L
I took a few of my dual sport riding buddies on some epic singletrack here in British Columbia. We ran into a few bike issues and had a few crashes but all in all it was a great ride. Follow along to see how Marc and Pat did on their dual sport bikes.

In 2020 we took a dirt bike trip to escape the 2020 pandemic and go ride some epic big mountain singletrack. It was our friend nick's first time here so we gave him the tour, we ran into a fair amount of deadfall, hill climbs and lots of hills to descend. Epic day!
Wrapping my KTM 500 EXC-F | Kutvek Amerika Wrap

Every year KTM, Husqvarna, and GasGas produce amazing dirt bikes that we all love to look at but there is one problem, they make every model visually the same. If you live near a KTM, Husqvarna, or Gasgas dealer like I do I would presume that your friends all have the same bikes. I wanted to complete my KTM 500 EXC-F build with something that will make it stand out and this wrap from Kutvek Ame...
KTM 990 Adventure ride Part 2 | Riding the Whipsaw Trail BC
Переглядів 14 тис.2 роки тому
Last August we planned a motorcycle camping trip to Princeton British Columbia to go and ride the Whipsaw Trail. The trail is an iconic 4x4 trail but it's also a lot of fun on most ADV | Dual Sport-bikes. My friend Chris is on his KTM 690 and I am on my KTM 990 Adventure R both loaded with camping gear. The traill was great, not too hard overall but had a few sections that challenged you. One b...
KTM 990 Adventure Ride | Pemberton to Harrison Hot Springs | On route to the Whipsaw Trail

Last August we planned a motorcycle camping trip to Princeton British Columbia to go and ride the Whipsaw Trail. Our route took us most of the day to finish, heading south down the In-shuck FSR, across Lillooet Lake then down to Harrison Hot Springs. The route is a great Dual Sport / ADV route for all-size bikes. There are a few loose sections that could challenge a new rider but should be easi...

After a month of riding easy trails this spring, we decided to go ride something harder. Nick and I go ride a difficult trail network that really pushes your skills as a rider, lots of climbs, rock faces, jank, logs, falls and all the 2-stroke smoke you can handle. Follow along and see how we do

Day 3 Kamloops dirt bike trip - Nick and I get out on a boy's ride today, we hit all the best hill climbs, features, and riding spots we have found over the past 3 days. We dive into some muddy terrain and get a bit lost, but then we stumble across one of the biggest climbs we've found yet. It was a fun day out on the 2 stroke bikes.

On the second ride of the weekend at Duffy Lake Recreation site, I took the ladies on a trail ride around the park and we take on a few hills, some technical climbs, and some fairly steep descents too. This is the 1st season riding off-road for both Brenna and Viktoria and I've been very impressed to see how far they have come. Follow along for lots more riding content !!! Brenna's first ride -...
Dirt bike trip to Green Stone Mountain BC | Beta X-trainer
Переглядів 3,1 тис.3 роки тому
This summer we decided to take a dirt bike trip to Greenstone Mountain outside of Kamloops British Columbia. We've heard lots about the trails there and wanted to check them out for ourselves. In this video, we take the gang through one of the harder trails around the Duffy Lake Campground. We get into some fairly tough terrain, big rocks, big descents, and lots of MUD. This video is one of a f...

Taking the Beta 300RR into the Alpine

Taking the Beta 300RR into the Alpine
A lower 1st gear could be beneficial in the rougher spots. Less chance of stalling the engine. ?? Like the Honda CT 90,s they had the lower range gear box.
Good call. The bike has 1 tooth smaller on the front and it makes a big difference in the tech stuff.
Looks like a battle! My t7 wouldn't be an "enjoyable" bike for that. I'd want a dirtbike style ripper i'd feel more in control with. I don't like to fight the entire trail. I appreciate the video to check out thistrail.
A friend of mine just did it on his T7 and he was solo. If you go counter clockwise it’s pretty manageable if you ride dirt bikes. Hope you enjoy the ride however you ride it 🤘
@@j-moto1215 that's great input, thnx bud.
Just rode whipsaw a week ago . The 4x4 traffic has gotten very busy. It’s taken on a lot of damage
Very nice
Heading here this summer with my boy. Pretty excited to get him riding near my old stomping grounds :)
How tall are you. Does the KTM feel too tall.
I’m 6’2” so it fits me pretty well. It’s definitely a tall ride
OMG men, crazy ride... Was really amazing see you guys...
Wow ! Some pucker moments there!
The various Clake hydraulic left hand rear brakes make these descents so much easier on big Adv bikes precisely because you can easily put both feet down. They’re not cheap, but they transform the bike
Good tips, I’ve seen them before and they look slick. Might have to try that. Cheers
Nice to see a DR gettin it. So many people think they can't do this stuff. Good video and great care for your friends man. Nice job.
Those views are worth the effort. Good thinking providing spotting for your new rider, this type of simple effort helps to grow the sport. Have been in the same situation before and I try to minimize the stress for those with still developing skillsets, its actually quite rewarding seeing them complete obstacles they would not have otherwise attempted.
You’re so right, he was really nervous on some of them but just having some back up there in case helps ease your mind.
Where did you get the black plastics from?
I got them from a company named FortNine in canada. Also RMATV will have them also. Pretty easy to find 🤘
I live in the Okanagan. Lots of great riding out here. Once I discovered that area it became my favorite place to ride. I've spent hundreds of hours out there. It's such a diverse terrain there is something for everyone. And some of the best hillclimbs around. And some that are almost impossible to conquer. Would try until I couldn't hang on anymore. Then go back later lol. Great video showing the flowy stuff!!
Hey thanks for the comment. I recently went back and rode the Loose Screw event and got to see a lot more of the area and I agree there is a lot of good stuff out there. Next time we will head south and ride more towards Logan Lake area. Found some good stuff there
awesome trail Jody, would u be willing to share the track location with me?
im not sure if i could ride that with my dr650, but id try, looks so fun
I have been riding around Pemby for years and have never found this stunning trail. Pa-leeeze tell me where this is. I want to ride here! So much more exciting than Greenstone.
Are you on the PDBA Facebook page?
@@j-moto1215 no but I will look for it.
looks like a great place to ride!! Thanks for sharing!!
I’d like to check it out with my dirt bike
Where is it
Message me on Instagram @foreverboard.jodes
This looks fun
Great video! That first bit had me on the edge of my seat along those top narrow cliffs 👀👀
I think the guys were on the edge of their seats too. Thanks for watching 🤘
Go to the other side of the road and down or up that way. Way more fun and technical
Hmmmm the other side of the highway or FSR?
@J-MOTO up to about 11km and to the other side of the road from camp.
@@billwillson5361 beautiful !! I’ll go check that out this spring when things open up. Thanks for the tips
Where in BC is this?
Great content. Makes me realize I need way more miles under my belt before I attempt the whipsaw. Subbed 👍
Nice !! Smaller bike would have been easier but yeah there are a few tough sections
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thanks Steve glad you enjoyed it
absalutely loving the camping part , greeting from south africa, we also do decent wild camping feel free to check out my chanel
Love the Xtrainer with great riding..
Great content. Thanks bro
Nice vid!! What area was this? Washington, Idaho...? Just curious. No particulars, just the region. Thanks
Thanks 🙏 it’s in British Columbia
Why do people still buy Austrian bikes?
I don’t know …. Why?
@@j-moto1215 um, they like the challenge of breaking down in the middle of nowhere? I gave up after the second slave cylinder oring failure.
Guess you were riding a husky? I understand what you mean, knock on wood I’ve had no issues with the 3 Austrian bikes I own. But Tony and many others I know have had the same issues Tony and you have experienced. I didn’t understand your question at first but I do now.
@@j-moto1215 yes, and it was my first venture away from japanese brands, and possibly my last.
They've been making bikes for a hundred years and still haven't figured it out. Nothings changed
Such a fun trail. Can’t wait to get out there this summer!
Yeah one of my faves !!
Great video. You probably already know this, but I'll just mention it. If you get to a section like the one at 05:39, where you said you are basically unable to use your back brake, you can switch your bike off, put it in gear, and then use the clutch as a back brake for when you can't use your real back brake. I use this all the time.
Thanks for that. I’ll try that next time, was a bit overwhelmed at that point.
@@j-moto1215 Yes yes. Obviously many adventure bike riders never do THAT technical stuff. But me as an enduro rider utilize that a lot when I need both of my feet...
@@johansmitphotography yes, good tip (I ride enduro as well) but the heavy bikes picking up momentum will easily restart the engine in gear. Even my 500EXC does it.
This is normally what I do but minus turning off the bike?
Your mate needs to get up on the pegs more on that 690 , he should be able to tackle pretty much any climb on that thing, no body armour?
Good tip, he’s a good rider but guess he prefers to sit. I didn’t even attempt it on the 990 because it was so loose. Sand and baby heads haha not a good combo
You can almost tractor along in 1st gear up pretty steep hills with the Xtrainer. Such a lovely bike
Yeah it’s amazing what that thing gets up. It’s a great bike, she’s been very happy with it
where is this at? im from the kootenays and would love to ride this sometime
Hey hard to explain. Want to message me on Instagram?
@Foreverboard.Jodes
How to you like the 990? Most of my riding has been on 450cc dirt bikes but looking to get into a bigger bike that I can do some gravel adventure riding on.
Honestly it’s a blast to ride, very capable machine. Takes me up singletrack climbs that I shouldn’t be able to do but that big Vtwin takes you up everything. When things get technical and momentum slows it shows it’s size. One of my fav bikes of all time
@@j-moto1215 I’m in Ontario so hopefully one pops up for a good price. I’ve considered the tenere 700, bmw gs800 and maybe even an Africa twin as an alternative.
@@rippinmachines I’ve heard the T700 is lighter and more playful. Both bikes are pretty amazing. The AT is pretty massive haha. Tried that one, 990 or T700 I think will make an amazing off-road machine for ya. Shoot me a message if you have any question at all.
I'm close to purchasing a 990, probably not the R version I'm 5'8 and ride solo that steep hill you did gave me the hibbyjibby's haha. Do you think the standard(not S spec) 990 would be capable with what you did in this vid? cheers if you reply, know the vid is fairly old now, cheers.
I’m pretty sure the S model would be fine. The R has a bit more travel but both are very capable. It’s actually insane what they can tackle. You won’t be disappointed with the S
Great video.
SHE LOOKS SO CUTE IN ALL THAT WARM SAFTEY GEAR AND HELMET LOOKS SO COZY
Yeah!! this is our style of Adventure riding ! ua-cam.com/channels/CED6AhbNoGwCM3RHoHJa_A.html
Gearing is everything.
You’re right!! I went 1 down in the front from stock and it’s worked well. Could try +2 on the back and see if it makes things easier
Did you our bike overheat? Mine kinda hates going really slow.
No I was thinking about it the entire ride but for whatever reason it didn’t. It’s got the engine ice coolant in the RAD maybe that makes a difference
great video j-moto !! recently finish the winter and you can ride ?? excelent for you !! reguards
No riding for us yet. This was 2 years ago, just going through some older footage. Thanks for watching! Where are you located?
@@j-moto1215 ohh i think thas was recently sorry, i am in argentina for yet, with planes to travel to canada, ... might be kelowna... but not be sure yet, are you in kamloops area right ?, thanks for sharering yours videos, reguards
@@chumbaenduro3556 not far from Kamloops. They have amazing riding there. Check out Duffy Lake
@@j-moto1215 i will do it, thank you !! :)
Would you say it’s a great beginner bike. Don’t have that much experience on a dirt bike more so on quad
I wouldn’t say it’s the perfect beginner bike, still make a lot of power but it’s a nice way to enter the 2 stroke world if you have other power sport experience. It’s a lot tamer than a normal Beta 300 RR. What kind of terrain are you riding?
@@j-moto1215 Um not sure I would like to get more into trail riding so I’d imagine little bit of everything. Being on Pacific Northwest
Yeah this is a good option because of its lower seat height or looks for a KTM 200 XCW. A little less power and easier to manage. Good luck
I love me my KTM orange on my EXC-F 500 so a wrap is not for me. However, I will say, ur bike looks great! Options are always good!
Thanks Big G, I totally agree the bikes look great in stock trim. I just wanted to see what all the hype was about. Now I know, cheers
I'm 5'6" too. Installed a lowering link, lowered the rear sag, 1.5" bar risers, and brought the fork tubes up 1.5". No more nervies about high-siding. If she still has the Xtrainer, these mods work wonders!
Yeah thanks for the info, we are going to try a few things including the washer mod for the clutch. Have you heard about that?
Nice to have another 500 in the sea to sky. The bike looks great 👍
Thanks !! Always up for an adventure if you are looking for someone to ride with. We have a few of us up here with them.
@@j-moto1215 That would be awesome. I’ll be getting out pretty often this winter. Im not sure how to get in touch via UA-cam 🤷♂️
@@daleanderson88 if you have Instagram look me up there @foreverboard.Jodes I would put my email here but I think that’s a bad idea 😉
Epic ride! Some proper riding that. Well done guys!
Thank you sir, love taking the big bikes into their element
Siiick! Looks awesome and sweet vid 😍
Huge change, looking awesome!! Thanks for posting. 🔥💪
Thank you amigo
