Very nice! I did Black Bear Pass on my old 990R with ex on the back, we got caught up there after dark in the mist/fog. Was sketchy, but we made it through. Black Bear was a one-time deal for me. Great video
That was intense just watching it, and at your speeds it seemed like that was your daily commute... with one exception (at a fork) you looked like you knew every turn. The uphill looked sketchy, but the downhill on the other side was nutz! I know the action cams don't accurately represent the actual steepness and grade of the slopes, but even flattened out I could tell this was serious climbing and descending. I watched some real riding skills there - thanks for sharing!
Wow....... I"ve ridden from the top of North America to the bottom of South America with my wife on the back of my 1290 SAR, but Damnnnnnnn son must have been tough as hell riding down the pass with such big Kahuna's Nice work !!!!!
Nice ride. Hope those SxS got the ticket they deserved. Its a licensed vehicle road from the top down. (the one way part). And, since they can't go back up, I'm sure they got pulled for street riding in Telluride.
That's great! Make sure to record it for us! I would say just watch your temperature guage. I had overheating issues, and I would lose my rear breaks any time I was pushing the bike over 9,000 feet in elevation. I was up there for 3 days riding and it was consistent. Once I got back to a lower elevation my temperature was fine and I would get my breaks back. If the rear break pedal drops, just keep pumping them and you'll get what you need to stop. Good luck brother!!
@@adventure0ffroad858 thank you friend… my SAR is a 23 and I think they’ve figured out the cooling issues… I rode Imogene last year , which is 13,000 feet and didn’t have any issues anyways … thanks for the advice! Your video has inspired me!
you turned off the bike going down the steps, nice strategy, would like to share what could have happened if you were to kept engine running during downhill?
No, I always ran that bike on the sport mode, traction control off, and ABS off. Had lots of issues with the bike and traded it in as soon as I got back to Texas, but had a blast in the mountains. I will be going back next summer!
Anytime I went over 9k feet in elevation it would overheat. I spent lots of time waiting for it to cool down. I would also lose my rear break above 9k feet. At the switchbacks I had to pump the breaks to keep pressure o. The calipers. Ended up with a BMW GS 1250 Adventure. Way happier with it!
I had the rear brake problem on the twisties in the Pyrenees Spain. My brother was on the S version and his rear brake cooked as well. Had to pump them to get pressure.
Thats how you carry your speed through there! Good job!!

Youre a beast! There's no way I would have rode that 2 up.
Yes, not wise and I feel sorry for my ex. It was an experience, ha ha
@@mrweelr damn.. with your ex?! I’m scared shitless doing it alone
Nice riding!
Wow. I was clenching watching you on that last part. Good stuff.
It was definitely exciting! Glad you enjoyed it.

Solid pace, good job…

Awesome, thank you! It was sketchy, but really fun. I'm going back in June to do it again on my BMW 1250 GSA
I just saw a video from the same pass, they said no to do it on a bigger bike. You just did it!! Great!!
It was a blast, but I definitely questioned myself a few times haha! I'll be back next summer on my new bike. I love the bike off road bikes!
@@adventure0ffroad858 Don´t question yourself, just floor it and let the rear wheel spin and spin and feel the bike.
Good effort on such a big bike.Thks
That's got to be the fastest I've seen anyone navigate this pass. PS, side by sides suck.
That's awesome! Planning a trip now to go back and ride it on my BMW GSA
Damn good riding and you made the 1290 handle it like a 125!
well, that went pretty quick from "looks easy for a big bike" to "are you kidding me?"
Nice ride. Hope those SxS got the ticket they deserved. Its a licensed vehicle road from the top down. (the one way part). And, since they can't go back up, I'm sure they got pulled for street riding in Telluride.
over the top skills dude!!!!
Nothing like riding on a sheer cliff at the end there 😳
Would have liked a bit less music to be able to hear the bike working.
Stud!
F...That from 22:48 on......😬
That was awesome.. my goal this year is to do Black Bear on my 1290 SAR.. any tips?

Honestly I was having issues with overheating anytime I went over 9,000 feet in elevation.
In off road mode? wish we had trails like that, nice one

What issues have you experienced? What was the replacement bike?
