@@David_Vander_Vliet I was trying to get smoother throttle response and deal with stalling issues with the bike. Some people have some success with just turning up the idle however I had put a rekluse radius CX on the bike and when you turn the idle up with a rekluse it messes up how that operates.
I know it’s a different culture in Texas than here in Canada and I don’t fault anyone for it, but the whole purple to warn people that if you set foot on their land that they can just blast you without question is so foreign to me. Then the resident you mentioned who told you to “go back the way you came”. Where I’m from there was a guy who owned a big plot of land that had great access to fly fishing on a river. Friends of mine would walk right through his property and two things happened. 1) He said, “You’re more than welcome to go through here. Just try not to park in the way of my driveway.” 2) Then he spent his own time to clear trees and flatten out some land to make a little parking lot for them to use. Awesome looking trails though! Bet you had fun!
Being originally from near Medicine Hat it's a bit nuts to me as well but yeah in Texas you look for purple. Even though the locals were a bit... Touchy the area to ride in was pretty beautiful and the 450RL was on point.
So this was so odd to me I had to go back and do some research. Apparently purple paint just means the same as a no trespassing sign in Texas. So it doesn't necessarily mean anyone's going to shoot you any more than a sign that says stay off my property or you get in trouble. But they dohave the right to shoot you so....yeah. be respectful
I always try to pull up past the line at red lights so the car behind me can pull up to trip the sensor in the asphalt. Otherwise, a bike will sit and wait ALL DAY at lights. Nice Video!!
Thanks a ton, I had the filter a little over oiled and I was surprised how sensitive this bike is to that. I just tossed in the quiet insert and still dig the sound.
I am trying to make sure I don't miss anything: flywheel weight, aim ECU, crf450x header, FMF q4, emissions removal, axp bash plate, tail tidy tusk, rekluse cx, mako 360, drc pegs, radiator guards, seat concepts, suspension by LDR suspension and internal lowering, I think that was the full list.
@@stoplogicmotorsports That’s bullsh t! You can ride on town roads all day long, IDGAF if they don’t like it. If the road is private, it should have signage indicating so and who the owner is.
I did hammer in a quiet insert first thing when it arrived in the mail. The trick was I was on public dirt roads which is free game, I am usually very careful to avoid any driveways or purple marked areas.
Seeing the inside of my house would have probably sent you into convulsions then, we ended up having nearly every room in the house ripped up and giant holes cut in it to jack up our foundation then that destroyed all of our plumbing under the house so we had a ton more holes cut in the slab in holes dug under the house. We've literally only had one functioning bathroom a kitchen and one-bedroom for the last 6 months. Bought a house in October and finally in April we just had the floors finished. ***Edit*** If you have ever watched the money pit it's the house I bought...
Well that largely depends on what state you're in. Here in Texas to be roadworthy you have to have dot rated tires, a headlight, a tail light, a brake light that can operate for at least 10 minutes, a horn, and 1 mirror. Other states like California and New York require that your bike has all the finery of any average dual sport bike along with a completely unaltered emission system which would include any sort of exhaust or ECU mods.
In some of my older videos to really drive the point home of how easy it is to make bikes street legal here in Texas I had a 1996 RM 125 2 stroke that I powered a dual sport kit with a drill battery.
The noise when stationary is relentlessly obnoxious and the noise when reved is permanent ear damage. Way to go- another perfectly fine stock beauty ruined. 😅
@@stoplogicmotorsports I luv that bike tho- and nice riding. I would just need to put the 1200$ stock muffler back on or buy a new X exhaust for $2000. The X exhaust is Exactly the same 80decibals at idle as the stock exhaust but the X muffler is 5 pounds lighter and a bit more free flowing than the stock due to having no catalytic converter. it’s really strange how quiet they can get theses bikes- And it’s odd how so many people intentionally make them louder for a few extra HP’s.
@@stoplogicmotorsports oh man-I get it. Now that makes total sense for sure- Nobody is winning many races with the stock bike. So you do the best you can to at least make the noise sound decent. Have a good one bud and use those cheap fucking foam earplugs silly.
@@billyarsenault1970 I actually did a video I think it's the title one on my channel for people not subscribed where I actually weighed the difference I think it was close to a 7 lb difference from the FMF to the stock setup. When everything was said and done I believe I shaved close to 12 lb off the bike, I wasn't winning many races with any bike I'm kind of like a serial tinkerer I like to experiment with stuff to see what I can do with it. I've got some interesting stuff coming up with the KDX once I get the power valve issue sorted.
That was nearly a 5 minute wait at the red light. I am impressed by your patience!
I'm a pretty easy goin dude lol
I can't wait to get a CRF450RL.
It's a very capable bike, raced mine a few times and it was a good time.
Did you replace the stock ECU with an aftermarket one?

Got the same bike. I can't wait to add the same stuff, sounds killer
That's the longest red light I have ever seen 😂😂
There are a lot of terrible ones here...

I love in California, first I have heard of the purple thing good to know. Each state is really like its own little country in a lot of ways.

Thanks a ton, yeah where I was at my turn there would be a wait for a car. I do love some back roads
That always annoys me!
HI, new subscriber here, tell us what you plan to do with noisy exhaust.
My quiet insert for this bike had been delayed, after 2 weeks I stuffed the quiet baffle in there bringing the noise to an acceptable level.
Man, I sure miss Flyin’ P Ranch.
If I ever won that lotto that would be purchase 1 with rocky Ridge as purchase 2
Great video loved you apple sauce and matlock comment. 😂.
Glad ya enjoyed the vid I've been getting the itch to hit the streets again. My mind tends to wander on 2 wheels lol
sick bike sounds amazing

Q4 megabomb combo
What other mods do you have ?

My question is with the exception of the road you turned around on, were you on private property of town roads?
Town roads, got chased down and stopped on a marked town road
@@stoplogicmotorsports That’s bullsh t! You can ride on town roads all day long, IDGAF if they don’t like it. If the road is private, it should have signage indicating so and who the owner is.
@@vlodpgI completely agree I just don't feel very argumentative when a fella has an iron on his hip.
@@vlodpgI'm a firm believer that you attract less lead with honey instead of vinegar
@@stoplogicmotorsports if I’m on a public road where I have every legal right to be and lead starts coming my way you bet your ass I’m sending it back
Stick with a quiet exhaust ,people are entitled to peace and quiet ….if they live there and own the land , they also have animals on the land .

7:48 what's with the lights man
That one is bad but the one off cheeksparger in colleyville TX is even worse...
4:00 Don't forget to turn your turn signal off.
Yeah I ride street so infrequently that I totally forget about it all the time.
nice bike, garage not so much lol

That noise would make me crazy. My race bikes are not that obnoxious
Yeah they had forgot to ship the quiet insert for me, that was the first thing I did before I stepped on that bike again.
nice 😀@@stoplogicmotorsports
What pipe and silencer
Crf450x header, fmf q4
In England we have a yearly MOT ( check to see if the bikes road worthy ) what do you have in America and with mods on the bike what's the laws

It was a crf450x header paired with a FMF q4

Yeah I kind of thought the same thing they didn't have the decibel killer in stock when I got the pipe the first thing I did was fit the quiet adapter
@@stoplogicmotorsports I luv that bike tho- and nice riding.
I would just need to put the 1200$ stock muffler back on or buy a new X exhaust for $2000.
The X exhaust is Exactly the same 80decibals at idle as the stock exhaust but the X muffler is 5 pounds lighter and a bit more free flowing than the stock due to having no catalytic converter.
it’s really strange how quiet they can get theses bikes-

@@billyarsenault1970 honestly my swap was all for weight reduction as I primarily used this bike for harescrambles.
