Yeah this KX feels VERY front end heavy and front twitchy. I'm going to lower the forks as far as they can go in the clamps, run a little more sag in the rear, and probably slow down the rear rebound. Hopefully that will make it feel more neutrally balanced.
Looks like you started doing a lot better in the turns towards the end..boy you can really tell the advantage the thumper have in the sand and in the wet in this video..take u awhile to get used to the goofy handling and massive hit of those late model kx250 smokers..but it looks like your figuring it out..my friend has a 06 and boy do I struggle turning that thing
you're absolutely right Craig it's a totally different riding experience! My suspension was all out of wack and found my main issue was the sag was only at 80mm lol. It put so much preload and weight on the front end making it feel twitchy and harsh. Got it sorted out for the next ride though! Do you like the snappy power of your friends 06 KX ?
if you don't end up on the ground are you truly warmed up yet 😅 It's got more vibration than the modern bikes yeah but doesn't bother me. Don't really notice it when I'm in the zone I think.
Hey Derek, I’ve been riding a yz125 for the past couple years and I’ve been wanting to make a switch to the ktm 125 for power reasons, and I know you have ridden both. Do you think it’s worth it?
started off ✨PERFECT✨
🤣
Thanks for the video before school
🤘🏻
Hey Derek you should come out to soggy bottom mx In Missouri
Sick riding and video bro! Another fun day as always 😎😎🤙
05 kx250s had a tendency to have an twitchy front end, and thus vid shows it perfectly

True my 07 is quite terrifying hitting brake bumps at a high speed haha
@@chaceplaine9451 My suspension was all out of wack but my main issue I figured out was the sag. It was only at 80mm lol!

Yeah it was! my suspension was all out of wack but I got it sorted out for the next ride
Nice bike bro
thx dude
That kx is so nice 👍
We gotta get this guy on a kx500. I’m convinced he can ride everything.
If it’s gonna be anything make it a cr
@@landancaldwell the kx has more power. And it’s lighter
Was riding my kx250f today and nearly rode over a Brown Snake, scared the shit out of me.
The first few clips from the first lap antics are so relatable. Great video on the 250 smoker. Does the bike have a lot of vibration?

Love it bro! Hope all is well!
loving life brotha! hope you're doing well also 😁
@@DerekHallman You already know!
Yoo Derek you think I can ride mx on my Enduro bike bc its suspension feels too soft for me
Were you at Bobs “ birthday bash” thing today at Charles city dirt riders? Someone said they saw you so I was wondering if it was actually you. 👍
Yes I'm just leaving CCDR now
Love the vids bro

Tires- I absolutely hate the front tire on my ktm, it digs out so easily
Your friends should start calling you squidward
