About 10 miles in on the first loop.. after this video ends I get exhausted and lose quite a few positions (whoops). I gain all my speed back at about mile 35. Anyway, endurance training, and losing some muscle/fat weight are the next goal. Ton of fun

Camotek systems glow plug box
มุมมอง 369ปีที่แล้ว
This is a review video of the Camoteksystems Power Distribution Manual Glow Controller. My oem smart box fried last week and decided to give this box a try. After hearing about the chinese made keyed ignitions that are being put on these Humvees by a lot of people, I had a suspicion that was the cause of my box suddenly going out. When I removed the keyed ignition there was a wire loose, causin...

This is a weight comparison video. Fmf’s website claims “pounds lighter than stock” in the description for this new silencer. They weigh the same.. BUT the fmf does have the spark arrestor and the stock does not. Something they should clarify though. Still a long time Fmf supporter.. not hating www.fmfracing.com/collections/turbinecore-2-1 *Stock silencer im replacing was recently repacked (10 ...

Troy Lee Designs Se4 2021 Helmet review
Having trouble with starting my humvee .installed this Camotek works great got the one with key and remote start I am very happy with this purchase.
I considered a 300 SEF for the KYB suspension coming from only ever riden KTMs, until I saw the horrible air filter location. Look how filthy that airbox is, what a horrible arrangement.
It’s not that bad… Yamaha I had was iust as difficult and the air filter was up above the tank. I don’t get why people have an obsession with keeping the air box perfectly clean.. same with cleaning the bike after ever ride. Its a dirt bike. Only thing that matters is getting clean air and fuel to the carb.. dirt in the air box is stagnant. Who cares. Anyway, thanks for the comment 👍
@@andychips6923 It's a dirtbike, I get it, but it's good opportunity to clean and ensure bike is ready for next ride. Sure it's just going to get dirty again, but I assume you wash your ass - it's just going to get dirty again no? And It's not an obsession with a properly designed airbox with access and maintenance in mind. Pop filter out throw on wash plug, 20 minutes later clean bike and fresh filter ready for next event. Also it also puts your battery, ecm, fuses, relays, etc nicely protected under the seat with easy access.
Ok, I like you now. Comparing washing my ass with an air filter 😂 The main reason I don’t clean that air-box out is because of that battery being under there.. I will admit that. Would of been nice for them to pick a different spot! My buddy down the street just picked up a sherco and is complaining about the airbox design haha
That’s the easy part. Getting the bolt screwed in. Is the hard part and I think is what everyone complains about. I’ve been doing this for 10 minutes straight and cannot get that bolt in. This happens almost every time.
It’s not bad at all.. as long as the cage is centered, the bolt always finds its place.
That was a fun section
For sure the smoothest.. 😂
Single track nice 👍
Good thing your bike didn't give you any starting drama on the line.
Kept the engine running and cleaned it out as much as i could this time.. mistake this go around was starting it in neutral
I'm rocking the K8s. Version 1. I got them used for a song in good condition and love them. Lots of protection and very comfortable and POD supports their old products so you can get replacement parts or upgrade over time.
Glad I found this. Getting ready to get some Pods. Was going back and forth on the size but after this you are about my size. Going to lock in the XLs.
Now how to get one? Website is down/non-functional!
I got one with the remote button. I wish I got the one that had the key on the box so my truck doesnt leave me someday.
C'mon, you coulda jumped that!
Yeah Bobby!
This out in Utah?
Northern AZ
@@andychips6923 ah. Beautiful country.
Looks like south centeral Utah. Between Salina and Richfield area.
@@Roudy_Riggs that's exactly what I was thinking. The mountains in the foreground made me really confident.
I was thinking Utah out near Virgin.
Do they require you to send your old box in? Like core
He doesn’t deal with old boxes.. his is built from scratch. Way beefier than an oem box. I sold my broke oem box on ebay for $100
@@andychips6923 what’s the guys name? Cam. ?
Cam, yes
Got one and I love it
I use heavy equipment ignition switches, usually CAT brand. They always last a long time, are built heavy duty and it makes it really easy to find a replacement key if you should lose it. BTW, just FYI, the wires are 11A - B(att), 29A - R(un) and 14A S(tart)
Yeah, looks like the AM General part has way beefier terminals too
Where did you buy them and how much? How do they fit width wise?
Rocky Mountain atvmc is where I’ve always bought mine.. i have narrow feet and they fit me perfect.. so i cant comment on the width too much. I do have friends that wear AStars only because they have wider feet. I think rocky mountain if i remember right will you return apparel for the first time for free if they dont fit
@@andychips6923 Thanks for the prompt reply.
how does shifter and brake feel? is sole too thick?
one reason why I prefer the SG-10 over the 12.. better feel of the shifter
On the rear I only run 2 tires. 1st is the IRC-M5B, And 2nd is the Kenda washougal 2. They are both way cheaper than a Dunlap and I think way better. I just mounted a set of washougal 2's today and this will be my first time trying it on the front as well.
Just got done putting 40 hrs on a set of michelin starcross mediums. Really like these tires but they’re over a $200 for a set now.. ridiculous! Kendas are catching up on price though.. $170 for a set.. times are changing, just means getting more hours out of existing tires 🫣
have you compared decibel reading Thx!
I should work on that, but i would say the Fmf has a throatier sound low down but they are just as loud I would say overall
sick thanks for making the video
I LOVED that wash.
Maybe I’m weird, but I find these slide on roots, even when dry. I’m new to dirt bikes, so I’m pretty ignorant on tires, but my bikes stock Pireli Scorpions seemed to track straighter and not slide on roots.
Do you mean side to side sliding? Here in the desert i rarely touch roots but interesting comment. What psi do you run?
@@andychips6923 yes, slide to the left or right a few inches until it hits dirt and get traction. I’m at the recommended 15 psi.
@@warrenstemphly5756 try going down to 10psi and see how it feels. Im not sure of your weight, bike set up, or whether you’re running HD tubes but i run fast desert and slow enduro stuff and I’ve never had a problem and im at 215 body weight with irc hd tubes. 15 psi is pretty up there
@@andychips6923 basically I’ve just kept it at what the bike manual says, and the dealership that mounted the tires. I rode it today at 12 psi and it’s a huge improvement, thanks for the tip!
It’s because they are way to hard. I have 3 psi in the front and can barley flex it
Just picked up a set of these. I noticed that they make it harder to flex your knee past 90 degrees...like when you are siting on the very front of the seat. I have long legs and have to bend my knee tight in that position. Is this the same for you? Just have to get used to it?
It took maybe 2 or so rides before i got used to them but now I wont ride without them. The other day i took the bike down the road and i felt naked without them! The answer to your question on the pressure while folding your leg past 90 degrees.. I haven’t noticed this at all but im standing a lot of the time while riding and if I’m sitting on the front of the seat, its the only time when I have leg up to the forks (extended straight out) entering into a turn. The opposite leg thats on the peg Ive never noticed that bad of a pressure. How tall are you?
@@andychips6923 I'm 6'1". What you described is the same situation that I'm on the front of the seat. Normally I will bring my inside leg back to the peg while exiting the corner and stand back up. I have to use a noticeable amount of effort to pull my leg back to the peg. It's probably normal with braces, but this is my first set. I might try running the strap above the knee a bit less tight.
For Michigan trails, Enduro Engineering recommended the Washugal front and Millville rear.
Millvilles are the next set im running in a couple of weeks. Kendas have been near impossible to get over the last year
love this vids, go shercos
I'm healing form a chest injury and decided to upgrade my upper body protection(lesson learned the hard way)... This got me thinking, maybe I better do the smart thing and replace old knee guards with real knee braces. These POD K4's are making to the top of my list, thanks for the review.
Thank you for the awesome video, really appreciated. Stay safe Bro!!
I'm seriously thinking about one of these for my 22 beta 300rr do you still like running it ?? I had bought a FMF 2.1 turbinecore it does not fit the bike correctly unless I want to cut up the side panel to fit.
I ran it only for one race I did where it was required.. worked great for the 80 miles. I wouldn’t run it for more than a few hours at a time without removing it and cleaning out the mesh screen.. mine was gummed up after the one race
@@andychips6923 Thanks that's kind of what I figured they wouldn't stay clean very long..
Thanks for the great review. I'm thinking about these for riding my HD Heritage Softail. At 65, I've had multiple knee surgeries, and I am not ready to stop riding, but one mishap would most likely put me out of commission. My left knee is worse than my right, all I have to do is bump it and I see stars. My one pair of leather riding pants should fit these. Have you had any issues with the Pod fitting inside your riding pants? I appreciate any advice. Thanks again.
Motocross style pants have a little more room built into them for knee braces.. I’m not sure about street leathers.. you could most likely wear these on the outside of your riding pants if that would be an option?
You should check with your doctor and insurance. They might pay for them since you have bad knees, as I do (American football.) The Asterisk carbon ones are about the slimmest. I recommend the Rocky Mountain ATV and moto videos. He is selling braces, of course, but does direct comparisons.
I have the rear on my 96 KX250 and it's been great. Thinking about putting one on my Yz250 for track riding buy I don't know if it will corner as good? Just my speculation
Put 20 hours on these Kendas and I loved them. But because of supply I haven’t even been able find any more to buy. Cornering was great. Loved the dual compound with the rear tire. Think it did help with durability!
@@andychips6923 durability is amazing on it
With the pads on the side, they are thicker one side than the other, does the thicker side go towards the knee cup or the back of the leg
Nothing pad wise goes on the “anterior” side of the leg.. if that’s what you’re trying to ask. You have the medial side of the knee (inner) and the lateral side of the knee (outer) where either of the pads go.. and they work well. Since this video I’ve lost 40 pounds from a bad get off.. over the bars and I was using the LARGEST pads in the set in this video. So I’m probably going to have to order a size down now of these knee braces 😬
So you can use these on a motorbike too?
Ooo ya
Agreed. People need to ride more
you did not show how to put the disc
Ya my buddies filming wasn’t the best.. testing his new camera haha Are you talking about the inserts for the hinge? Or the spacers that go against the knee? The hinge inserts just push in.. very easy. And the spacers are just Velcro. They’ve been holding up great so far
this quick and pull sistem dont go out easily? sory english is not my native language
You’re just fine.. So far they’re holding up great! The upper and lower buckles I don’t have on very tight so there is not a lot of tension on them.. hopefully they do last a few years at least. Pod from what I understand offers rebuild parts to freshen them up
How does this bike do in AZ? I'm looking at a sherco vs a ktm but haven't ridden either before. Wondering if it does good in fast desert
Hey Walker, it does good.. just like any other 300.. if the majority of your riding is going to be fast desert obviously I’d add a stabilizer. I don’t run one but i have my forks dropped in the clamps and it does great.. sorry for the late reply lol
