At 56 years old I'm looking for a bike to learn how to ride. Never to old I hope. I am restoring a 69 CB350 and I do not want to be a total beginner on her.

So far it’s made a nice difference installing that Nibbi 30mm carb on the Templar. Man that sucks about looping out on your KDX. Those KDX 200 bikes are fantastic on the trails! I really liked mine. 😊👍
I like your rear fender redesign. These things happen. Thanks always. I always like your context. You have a calm, honest, format that is always appreciated.
Was neat to hear your music in this vid, reminds me of your older vids with the drum breaks. Also reminded me of a drummer named Yusef Dayes, I recommend that you check out their music.
Mike, we refer to the stock tires on the Templars as "big wheel tires" and if your of a certain age you know exactly what that implies...we're on the fence as to whether a set of gummys would ruin some of the fun and liveliness of these things. Love the gummys on my 300 2 stroke but thats a very different experience.
Haha 😂 yes I know what you are talking about 👍 I probably will ride the stock tires for a while before replacing them, it’s a hard balance for a dual sport bike, there’s always a trade off for long lasting on the pavement and good traction on the trails. If you come up with a tire combo you like let me know.
On my GY6 that giant knob makes it easy to adjust idle, but my carb is wide open and I can just reach down at a traffic light to tweak it if needed. I can see if it were buried being a pain though.
Thanks for checking out my new video! So far I have been really enjoying this bike. Time will tell but I have a feeling it’s going to hold up well with basic maintenance. 👍
Thanks for checking out my new video 👍 Yes YT seems to not notify most of my subscribers anymore, at least YT didn’t unsubscribe you like they have been doing to countless of my subscribers in the past year. It sure seems like YT is trying to sink my channel.
A timing adjustment,larger main jet,valve adjustment,larger header,freer flowing air filter,some performance synthetic oils in engine and forks,a new brand name plug,and boot or coil,wire and boot,tune it and possibly have some extra oomph,reliability,maybe 😁...
Those Icon tools seem to work really well 👍 all my Hercules 20 volt cordless tools have been holding up great as well. I Definitely have been enjoying this bike so far, time will tell how it holds up but so far it’s far better then I would have expected it to be.
Like the others, I have been excited for this video and it didn't disappoint. Good work. I also enjoy your music. Looking forward to seeing how you approach removing the cat converter in an upcoming video. Cheers!
Thanks Brian 😊👍 I probably will cover the Cat in a future video but I did get some flack from some people when I mentioned it in a previous video, people thought it would destroy the woods and animals if I removed it 😂
Just casually riding trails with an almost brand new bike and doing live commentary while you're at it. You're a better rider than I am for sure! 😂 Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark
Thanks man! Yes I have an ATV video idea but I’m still looking for another beat ass old 4x4 quad before I can make that video. Probably early summer I will have that video. Take care and have a great weekend 👍
Bought mine this January and I’ve put 2,300 ish miles on my Templar 250 x. Holding up good so far with daily commute and occasional trail riding when the weather is nice in Washington 😂
I got one of these bikes like a year ago got 968 miles on it and honestly I hate it, it may just be me but I've had nothing but issue with it but I'm not giving up hope gonna try this. I just changed the timing on the intake and now it sounds and responds a hell of a lot better.
man i wish these bikes were bigger for my giant 6'4" ass. Also Fisch Racing is an awesome company, they're my transmission adapter sponsor! I didn't even know they had a Fisch moto division that's awesome!
Thanks for checking out my new video! Haha yes this is a little small for you, the X Model sounds like it’s a bit bigger but no one seems to actually talk about that in every video I have seen on them. Interesting is that Fisch out of BC Canada as well?
Check out the Trailmaster 38, 36 or 35. Seat height is 37 inches. I’m 6’2” and I fit very comfortably. The Trailmaster series seem to be of better build quality too from what I’ve noticed in multiple videos.
Love this! Keep the content coming @Mike! Are you aware of an Amazon bike that can take a bigger rider? 6'1" 200lbs here, don't think the 250 will suit me.
I think the X model Templar with adjustable suspension is overall a bigger bike, the frame and suspension and Engine is different, I hear the X model is overall larger? But I haven’t seen many videos of people mentioning there height when sitting on them. Something worth looking into.
In our riding group we have both the X and the base model. They are completely different bikes with the X being significantly larger, it is the same size as a KTM or Husky whereas the base model several inches smaller in every dimension and honestly fills a void in the current dirtbike market where shorter riders are left tiptoeing especially in off camber singletrack.
Haven't watched whole vid yet, I'm curious about the fork suspension travel. Did you ever put a zip tie on the stanchion and see how much travel it has? They rarely list that important spec with these bikes I have noticed. Also wondering about rear suspension travel but that's harder to measure I guess.
Thanks for checking out my videos! I think the muffler is good especially after installing the spark arrestor. The only other thing I will do to the exhaust will be to cut the header pipe and remove the CAT, I do believe it really restricts the exhaust flow. 👍
I was wondering which Templar this one is. I see that it's like a D or M model-5 speed...I'm probably going to buy one of the Xpro (Templar X) 6 speed for a budget dual sport commuter. I've been looking at them for about a year but I finally made my decision. I bought a KLX230 new in 2020 but sold it and I previously owned a DRZ400S, I liked them both but they were both expensive bikes compared to the Templar. I can't wait to put mine together. I want to do the big bore 300cc kit straight away with the Nibi Carb.
Yes mine also has rim locks, you still won’t get down to 6or 5 PSI without a pinched tube. Tubeless is the way to go, but because I’m still using it on the street I probably won’t go all out on that and gummy tires.
Great vid Mike!! These bikes always made me wonder if they were good or not. To be honest i kind of wish i bought one of those gpx tse250r instead of my DRZ but at the end of the day my DRZ will be worth more. Maybe ill get lucky and find a good used gpx to play around with lol
Your DRZ will also last forever and never (or rarely) have any issues at all. I had one for ten years and never had a problem with it. Who knows with these chinese bikes though. I do like the Xpro but after watching a lot of videos I think I'll pass, and try to find an old XR250 or something for the trails.
the expro rxe 250 is 85 mph stock im more than likely going faster than the 85 it feels like its still climbing in top speed test and the rxe250 addresses all the problems from the hawk and templar models and made the rxe250 so far no complaints its a very good dual sport you should possibly check the xpro rxe250.. i know im really enjoying mine lol.. enjoy your day.
mike witch do u prefer the storm dlx 150 this thks 250? im 5'7 as well 160lbs wana gonna go for the 150 because its lighter but the 250 engine design will last longer. i want to be able to have both toes down if possible.
Do you make concern I have had a Templar 250 for 2 years now have 500 miles on it with zero problems 95% trail ridden I am 5'11 2:20 lb 55 year old used to run 250 2 strokes was looking for something little calmer this has been perfect. Have done zero upgrades.
Just shows you how a "simple" thing like that idle screw can screw you... -The bike sounds impressive. I am not big into off-roads, (used to be when I was much younger), but I also do learn quite a bit from watching you fiddling with it. (Any further camper builds?)
Thanks for watching 👍 Probably not any new camper builds planned for the near future, but I do plan on getting out with my mini truck and camper soon for a weekend camping video 😊
I put a Fisch Moto spark arrestor in my bike - and now I can't get the thing back out. I used the loctite, and the screws are so cheap, they stripped out inside. Kind of defeats the purpose of it being removable for cleaning.
Dude, ur videos are awesome! You give great explanation of everything! Im not sure if i should get the 5 speed version of this bike or the 6 speed? Any thoughts?
Hey i like your videos js subbed but i want to see your opinion on the apollo z40, its a 140cc engine with an upgraded carb they say.. i just want to see your opinion in it because they rip!! Also quite cheap
Hey Mike, I'm new to social media communication. I just got my son a Templar. I saw that you changed the rear sprocket. Do you know if that works with the stock chain? Thank you, Peter
I would recommend checking out my first video I made on the bike, I explain why I decided to get it. I would suggest calling Powersportsmax ( the place I ordered mine from) or any other place that sells them and asking when they maybe back it stock, I don’t work with the company so I would not know when they come back in stock again.
Watch the shipping from xpro as they don't use freight insurance and ship signature not required if your purchase arrives damaged they will give you the runaround... I am still fighting with it a month+ later still unresolved...
That’s a bummer, I ordered my bikes from Power sports max and luckily they shipped fine. The company was good about the headlight cage that needed to be replaced for my Storm 150 and the tail lights that went out. They shipped them out pretty quickly. What got damaged in shipping on your bike?
All the X pro bikes I have bought all seem to be jetted lean, they all have benefited from a larger main jet. There’s a lot of info of Forums and Facebook groups that could answer what jet size is best for your elevation.
If you think removing and reinstalling the carb bank for an inline 4 is miserable you should try an old V4. The first time I had to clean and rebuild the carbs on my old V65 Magna, I seriously considered just selling the bike about halfway through. 🤣
As long as you don’t add any preload to the rear shock and maybe slide the front forks up in the triple clamps about a 1/2” I think it will work for you. I also had a subscriber mentioned he was too short for the bike and bought a little shorter rear shock and it now fits him great. I think the fella made a video about it. Look up Storm 150 rear shock upgrade and maybe you will find the video.
I have it still but haven’t installed it yet, I probably will install it this summer but I do wonder if it will be worth installing? Trying to weigh out if the complexity and extra lines are worth the gains on a dirt bike?
@@rennierrodil6119 Yes this kit fits right into the side case oil screen filter cap, it should be plug and play, I’m just not sure if I’m going to run it due to extra lines to possibly get ripped off when riding on the trails. I may fit it up and see how clean I can install the kit to keep it low profile this summer.

At 56 years old I'm looking for a bike to learn how to ride. Never to old I hope. I am restoring a 69 CB350 and I do not want to be a total beginner on her.

Been waiting for this one!
Right on! 😊👍
Always informative! Love the blue sky on the trail ride! Thank you! 🌞
Thanks for watching! 😊👍
Your prior video helped convince me to pick one up for myself. Been having a blast on it. It was exactly what i meeded to get me back into riding.
It sounds good ! No hesitation .I pinched my throttle cable on KDX wide open between headset and the steering stop and I looped it .
So far it’s made a nice difference installing that Nibbi 30mm carb on the Templar.
Man that sucks about looping out on your KDX. Those KDX 200 bikes are fantastic on the trails! I really liked mine. 😊👍
I like your rear fender redesign. These things happen. Thanks always. I always like your context. You have a calm, honest, format that is always appreciated.
Haha yes that fender got jacked up 😂
Thanks man for checking out my videos! I really appreciate it 😊👍
Was neat to hear your music in this vid, reminds me of your older vids with the drum breaks. Also reminded me of a drummer named Yusef Dayes, I recommend that you check out their music.
Spark arrestor was a great tip. Thanks!
Thanks Matt 😊👍 definitely save the woods and save on a ticket 🎫
Sup bro. Great late night entertainment. Thanks for showing the carb upgrade!
Just ordered one! Probably watched your videos 5 times each now.
Haha thanks for checking out my videos!
I think you will like it, pretty good value for what you get 👍😊

If you come up with a tire combo you like let me know.
Just bought a templar 250 base. First Chinese brand bike, and everyone said powersportsmax had good service.
Thanks for your insight.
On my GY6 that giant knob makes it easy to adjust idle, but my carb is wide open and I can just reach down at a traffic light to tweak it if needed. I can see if it were buried being a pain though.
Awesome mountain bike..🦾
Thanks Fred! 😊👍
Really enjoying these videos, have been seriously considering picking one of these bikes up just to play around with since watching these 🤙🏻
Thanks for checking out my new video! So far I have been really enjoying this bike. Time will tell but I have a feeling it’s going to hold up well with basic maintenance. 👍
I had to do same with my 250 mate I put a few spacers underneath the tank to raise a little
Thanks for the upload dude, looks like a fun little bike..:)
Thanks for checking out my new video man 😊👍
I dont get why youtube waited 7 days to pop this to my feed. Another great video.
Thanks for checking out my new video 👍 Yes YT seems to not notify most of my subscribers anymore, at least YT didn’t unsubscribe you like they have been doing to countless of my subscribers in the past year. It sure seems like YT is trying to sink my channel.
@@Mikefestiva I didn't get notified either, until just today!
I would recommend adding a larger foot for the kickstand or at least bringing a kickstand foot pad
A timing adjustment,larger main jet,valve adjustment,larger header,freer flowing air filter,some performance synthetic oils in engine and forks,a new brand name plug,and boot or coil,wire and boot,tune it and possibly have some extra oomph,reliability,maybe 😁...
Thanks for talking about the carb as in depth as you did I’m about to take mine off my bike to clean it and you just taught me a bit more about them
That's a pretty sweet bike, also the Icon tools are awesome. I have a pretty good collection of them. I use the screwdrivers almost every day.
Those Icon tools seem to work really well 👍 all my Hercules 20 volt cordless tools have been holding up great as well.

@@Mikefestiva Kawasaki Prairie. Great machines. Sporty but 4x4. Solid rear axle. Should be able to find a 400 for cheap!

@@sgtshultz13why 6? I had the same question but I'm new to bikes.
what about the hole where you removed the OEM muffler tip? wont exhaust leak from that and bypass the spark arrestor?

I may fit it up and see how clean I can install the kit to keep it low profile this summer.

Là một người Mỹ nhưng mike rất thích sử dụng xe được sản xuất tại châu á thật thú vị 😂.
I haven’t owned many US made vehicles other then my old Ford F250. Mostly Japanese vehicles for me.
