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

It’s not bad at all.. as long as the cage is centered, the bolt always finds its place.

For sure the smoothest.. 😂

Kept the engine running and cleaned it out as much as i could this time.. mistake this go around was starting it in neutral

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.

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

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.

one reason why I prefer the SG-10 over the 12.. better feel of the shifter

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 🫣

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

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

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.

Millvilles are the next set im running in a couple of weeks. Kendas have been near impossible to get over the last year

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..

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.

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

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 😬

Ooo ya

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

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

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
