Cheers and maybe try some adventure groups based in SA.. or reach out to the CRF300l side as well

Guess a bit of both.. Mt Macedon is up a little

There does seem to be lots of whispers out there

And from a time when algorithms were not a thing…

And from a time when algorithms were not a thing…

The KLX450r, has a much more enduro maintenance schedule, according to the ‘book’ its a new piston at 1500km, how ever i suspect this might be if used for race / events, its not going to enjoy the open highway, sustained speed, in my opinion, but for inner Urban, bush/trailer single track, and time at the MX track its on point. Simple, design, minor changes in 2010, and graphics etc since then, bunch of crew have set them up as an ADV option, although i have not, and the KLX650 works a treat on the open highway, Motard set up, and the bush, similar in many ways to the DR650, given the low tech set up. Large tank and good to go.

It could well be, The MT does fill lots and lots of riding areas

Glad it was helpful!, thank you

I think side by side, there is about $600 diff to out towards the GS, and it will come down to comfort with shape/size of the bike, if ok with a longer bigger bike the MT, smaller / nimble the GS. As a solo rider the GS would get into less trouble, in a group ride perhaps the MT has more range/challenging potential…

How is/different the GS with the stage 2 and I am hissing the 20mm lift?

@ausetour500 as I am a taller rider, it sounds like the mt would've been a great option in this price and size range...but modding the g310 to work well for me has been a hoot! No regrets.

@ausetour500 the level 2 Rally Raid kit is a huge improvement over the standard bike. I don't think it's so much the extra travel and height, but more the improved spring rates and rear damper. I would say, yes, you are missing out... but it's then a question of how much you would miss the $2k. For me, I was bottoming out easily in rougher off-road stuff. Now, I can confidently get air under the wheels and land with only the rarest of bottom out events.

@@adthar9340very excellent to hear, cheers

Private bike

@@ausetour500 Happy with the MT450? Ordering one this week

@@twowheelin7361 hi, weird typo Before, both bikes are great, little differences for their own strengths.

The joy of so many bikes and so many set ups, is each person gets their own opinion, their own set up and adventure :-)

@@ausetour500 100 % agree

Around 27 kgs depending on set up, panniers etc

apologies, I am quite behind. I was happy up until the frame cracked, a touch under 6000kms, how ever the current frame looks good, and is covered for 3 years with warranty

Hello Mario, with what i have seen 100km+ is doable, that being said, I ride around a natural (to me) 27 kph, so the bike is not using much battery to assist my ride, hills, take of at traffic lights etc, and or at night i tend to use seperate ‘USB’ lights in place of the fitted front light, also for lowering the battery drain.

@@ausetour500 thanks for your reply, I'll go for a test ride... it looks like a nice bike and ticks all the boxes

He told me a couple month ago he still had it and she was doing well. Go ride one. Light years better than a DRZ

@@Dashriprock4 thanks mate 👍

I do, it’s going really well, less riding due to lock down through Covid. But still ticking all the boxes

@@ausetour500 here in the States I got lots of riding in during our lockdown. 😁

@@Dashriprock4 very fortunate for sure.. here in Melbourne we had quite a lot of stay home orders in effect, now we can get out though

Great question, the motor has 85.Nm i the Torque rating, Works well when heading uphill ride park.

I did, I wanted to try down hill and a more free-riding dirt trails,, works really well, easy to swap back and forward between layouts. Was a heap of fun.

The bike has been good, I have done 2,600kms (1,400 miles ish) so far, the pannier rack had a crack early, swapped under warranty in 2 days even in Covid conditions, and that’s about it, keeping an eye on bolts and over all maintenance when doing many kms and on/off road riding.

It’s a solid chunk of money, it a good bike for the purpose :-)

With current stock gearing it is a little over 100kph, with stock / MX knobbes it’s ok, but Regina high and a little loose underfoot, how ever sprocket change/ motard rims / AT style rubber could change up a bit

Cheers thank you, and I plan to do a follow up, just ticked over 1000km, maybe around the 5000km mark,, perhaps 6months point see how it’s going

@@ausetour500 yeah sounds good! I'm waiting for mine to arrive. Where'd you get your paneers from?

@@taekin9781 one of the panniers came with the bike, and the second on e I picked up from the importer/outlet store in Malvern

I do still own it, no problems so far :-), I will have a look when I am home and see how many km’s :-) less riding the last 6 months due to Covid, adverse 1 ride per week to keep it ticking over and fun in the city

A little over 2,100 km travelled so far :-)

I working towards doing another..

I believe the dealer did this, the pipe was on the bike when I took ownership

Alas I don’t have access to twingo... 😊

cheers, i will check them out :-)

Andy Drummer cheers Mate

Vent tube, often used/seen on Motor Cross/dirt bikes, to allow air in as fuel is used, one way valve, if blocked fuel can stop flowing..

nah mate, just me on my bike

about the same here with conversion..

I'm shopping for one now here in California. But I do wish the seat height would be in 35" range.

Australia, Currency is Dollars, and as it stands close to 8K, 80Kph is the upper range of freeway/highway happy, although i find it more fun to take the back streets.. non - high way routes

Did you mean 80mph? With 6 gears and a rev limit of 13500 i would think it would by fine on the highway, am i wrong?

It would rev quite high, i would suggest change the front sprocket up one tooth, chain length is still ok, makes for less off the line speed, but will hold ok, again, not a highway bike, more back roads, city roads and for sure anything dirt and or off road

8k is pretty good

Its Loud but not Rude.. good in the traffic.. and quite ok when on the bike for a longer ride :-)
