Thanks for the video. I have a couple of questions. What center stand did you use for your bike? Can you send the link? Is it a universal bike stand? What were you looking at to see the oil level? When wiping any excess oil do you just use a rang or do you also use some kind of chemical? I started riding this year and I'm completely new to doing my own bike maintenance. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Super informative thank you....

You posted this at the perfect time for me,,, I'm planning on getting either a Rebel 250 or a V Star 250 soon and i want to mount one of these boxes onto it,,, maybe big enough to carry two pizzas 😂

" professional driver- closed course"

Nice i have a honda crf but its only a 150f

Great video

I like it!!

Ngl I feel like electric would be nice leaving ur house without waking everyone up

Strange that a bunch of reviews have Yamaha against Royal Enfield, CFMoto!! Folks those bikes can't be used in SW United States or Mexico.. average freeway speed is 80 mph .in Texas, California and Arizona often speeds are 85+ mph . don't think that a motorcycle that doesn't produce 40 horsepower is going to be safe..in US majority of riders are 180+ pounds, plus small amount of gear for camping, commute or light touring, having a bike that can't comfortably go 70-75 is dangerous..stop pretending!! Tenere 700 is the only bike of the 3 with any road manners

ive got that same four wheeler. is it hard to pop it up or does it just go straight up for you?

How much oil?

looks awesome. i like that you addressed passenger comfort by running straps under the seat. the metal in the tail bag is a great idea!

Bikes looking great! I just go a new T7 myself..

Who's gonna mod this bike to get it under 200 pounds?

I've owned a lot of bikes over 40yrs. My DR is probably the simplest, most reliable, cheap to own bike I know of and still performs. Fun to ride.

"im not a mechanic"... yeah? thats ok. dudes got a bouncy house in his shop!!!

Pretty easy job. I weigh 230-240lbs with all my gear, backpack, tools, etc, and the stock suspension is way too soft. I am gonna be doing both the front and back.

It’s not the machine that makes the rider

I have a 20% off Gaia Premium if you want to try that out. It's "overland" layer differentiates gravel, dirt, singletrack and pavement by color. I really like it and have found some fantastic riding with it. Also has land ownership, all recorded mines, weather, snow, cell coverage, wild fires and all kinds of things. I've personally found that I like to just make a route and follow it like a map and not use turn by turn. If you zoom to 500' on Gaia, you won't miss a turn. Seems like you just don't get the full adventure with turn by turn to me. The Gaia link should be on my latest 4 or 5 videos if you want to give it a shot. It's got a bit of a learning curve, but it's worth it.

Great ride!! So crazy how action cameras flatten out the ground. I also heard you talk about your "skill level". You can't ride a mile long wheelie and say you lack skill in the same video! 😂😂😂 Great video buddy!!

Great video !!! had a Vstrom as well to heavy for playing around in the dirt for me, Picking up a xt today. feeling better about my decision after watching TY

Fantastic review! Some people could actually earn a thing or two.

Keep that up and you'll eventually be squidlicious.

i'm still trying to wheelie the klr from five years ago!😂

Is it normal to adjust the choke in the winter

I have one of these and the engine explodes in less than 3 months of use :( fourth time fixing the engine

if you take the speedo off does it affect the performance? Worried about ripping it off and messing something up.

Cool ride. I also ride XT225. Thinking of picking up a KLX300 also. Great bikes.

I been thinking about the making a windshield with a bin. How much did it actually cost and time taken to make it? Really enjoy my DR, great all rounder. Commute on it daily.

At the 9 min mark, what road were you on???

Man is your fork bent??

I love this bike. It will literally take you anywhere. The most underrated bike there is.

Man I hate I missed this one

I think you're right. I thought I wanted a T7. It finally hit me that it is way more capable than I am. I finally traded around and got a DRZ 400S with all of the good modifications. I have fallen in love with the dual sport motorcycle. They are so easy to maneuver and take a beating. I still want a nice parrallel twin powered highway capable motorcycle that you can take off pavement. I might buy a Honda Transalp, but these new 400-450 cc bikes may be the ticket. A new Himalayan 450 or 390 Adventure R are lighter.

That looked like a fun ride! Is there a GPX track available for this ride? Also, that little XT225 sounds good on video.

Thanks for your honest video.

What phone mount is that? My brother has a quadlock but I don't want to buy 45 pieces and a case just to mount my phone lol. Also how do you like the Clarke gas tank? I'm eyeing it for my XT

Did you upgrade your suspension ?

Nice!

Sounds like there's tons of power left. DOT mapping is locked if you added better mapping I think it would do much better

From the Dothan area, me and my uncle just got t7’s. Would love to join a ride, Alabama dirt riders on Facebook a good place to keep up?

It was a fun ride but, I think you were having more fun than me :) Downhill was steep, slick and rutty...

There was a lot of pride hurt on that ride it looks like. I've dropped every bike I've owned, it just happens sometimes.

Check your speedometer's indicated speed to GPS speed. Most motorcycle speedometers are optimistic 5 mph or more. Out of two dozen motorcycles in my barn, only one of them is accurate, an '87 TW200. One bike reads slower than actual, the rest read faster than actual.

How did the guy on the Transalp do?

Lots of great tips there! I learned to wheelie my Honda 160 at 13 years old (I'm 68 now). It was fun learning to wheelie the different bikes I acquired through the years. I always needed to be on a slight uphill, because I never mastered using the rear brake. Really wish I would have. I think I'm too old now - but who knows - maybe I can learn on my XT225 in my twilight years! Thanks for posting this video, and all your other great vids as well! Take care.

"adventure ride"??? you are now calling a Ride, an Adventure Ride for some reason?? Why?

Nice ride! I wanna go next time.
