@@garyhulme3673 Hey Gary! Thanks for watching and it’s winter here also 😂 The 1050 is a great bike so congratulations to you on your choice! Hope it warms up soon so you can put some more miles on it. Cheers!

@@swedishrick377 Cheers Rick! Hope you’re doing great! The Beta is a fun ride for sure! Videos are on the way down the road for sure. I won’t be riding on the amazing areas you are but I’ll give it a shot. 😂 Have a great Thanksgiving!

@@PisgahGravelProjectThanks for the kind words. Anything we can do to help is important. I just hope my small channel helps in some way. Thanks again Friend.

@@tor2753 Thanks Man! Hope you’re doing great also!

@@ullithebully Thanks Brother! Good to hear from you! I was thinking about you today and wondering how things went at your mountain retreat. Hope there was no damage. The new bike is awesome! Making me change some riding techniques for sure 😂 Cheers!

@doc650adventures thanks bud, North Georgia got very lucky & the storm missed most of it

@ Good! Glad to hear that!

@@64caddycoupe Thank you so much and God Bless you Friend! You embody the American can do spirit!

@@Just_Jeff_89 Thanks Jeff! Hope you’re doing great!

Hey Calvin! I am glad to help in any way possible. I totally agree that this situation is best addressed through actions we can take (especially prayer). I am so glad you were not as impacted by the storm as some of the others. There is a lot of nefarious stuff going on up there with regards to the Federal Government and the assets they could be bringing to greatly assist our fellow citizens. I will continue to pray and do what I can to help just as you are doing. So glad you are OK and it's great to see you reply. Cheers! DOC

Thank you so much. All the best to you and prayers for the storm victims!

Hey Patrick! My humble pleasure to try and help any way possible. You know more than most of how devastated thing are the continued suffering. Thanks Man.

It's always better to be seen than viewed! LOL! Hope you are doing great!

@ you are not wrong! I am well, thanks

Hey Dave! I felt I had to put this video out. Hope it helps in some way. I was wondering what you might have seen on your trip home. Yes the garage has lost about 500 lbs. recently, but it looked better before 🤣

@@doc650adventures you are very much missed by all DOC. It’s always great to see you on the big screen. 📺

OBI-WAN!!!

Thanks Dane! My pleasure. Just wanted to help in some way. Cheers!

Hey Brother! I believe you live in an area that was affected by the storm and you know better than most how things are. I was hoping to help out in some way by raising exposure that there is still a lot to do to help those in need. As far as the Beta 300RR, I am betting it would love the Utah single track but even so, you seem to do quite nicely with the machines you currently have!! Cheers!

@doc650adventures we got pretty lucky. A metric ton of downed trees and power lines. All our trees luckily only took down power poles and lines and didn't hit anything super important. Power was out here around 8 days. Rode up to my buddy's place right across the sc/NC line and it looked apocalyptic with downed trees and flooding. Yep, if the Beta wasn't so tall, I'd really like to have the two stroke. I may still get one and lower it! My buddy has the 500rr and it's a beast!

FRANK!!!

Thanks Frank! It's good to be back and up on the Tube. Hope you are weathering the snow up there in TN or NY quite well! You going to the Chilly Willie Weekend at Uwharrie?

ROB!!!

I plan on it Rob! Hope you are doing great and enjoying the awesome bikes you have! Cheers!

My pleasure Ted. Wish the video was about something more fun but I had to help in someway. Thanks for helping out. More moto camping soon! Cheers!

@@PurpleOnThree Jody! Yes we can! It’s the good people like you and Tommy who make the difference. Thank you!

Hello Craig! You can set the torque limits on the wrench to what you need. I went with the recommendation from WARP9 and it was 44-inch pounds. That is the factory setting so it is a matter of ensuring the spokes stay at the factory torque as they will loosen a bit when you first use the wheels. Great comment by the way!

They are a great upgrade for sure. Keep in mind that the pivot part of the pegs takes a little getting used to but I love em. I put some on my V-Strom 1050XT ADV also. The wider platform makes a huge difference. Cheers!

Hey Jody! Yeah, it's fun and scary at the same time! I was looking at a KTM 300 but went with the Beta due to the type of riding I am looking at doing. I also like pasta so it was even easier to choose the Italian Bike! Cheers!

@doc650adventures well now... That is the very first time I've ever heard someone mention pasta as a reason to pick a particular bike! 😂🍝🍝🍝😁👌 glad you're having fun!

@ Bonjourno Jody! Actually the Betas and Asher is are awesome bikes and use carburetors versus EFI. Much more reliable. The only issue is if you are riding at high altitude and you have to adjust the jetting 😁

@@ksut5917 It can be loud for sure. I normally wear earplugs when riding so it’s not an issue. Yoshimura makes a quiet insert which will supposedly reduce the volume. I haven’t used it yet.

@@doc650adventures I have the spark arrestor insert its solid pipe for 3.5 inches then switches to screen mesh for about 2.5 inches..... its pretty darn loud even with ear plugs. Looking at a LeoVince option.

@@pnfctg12 Hey there! I really like the Shinko 705s a lot. I have over 3,000 miles on the set and I have mostly ridden on road but I have used them off road also. Other than mud, they perform really well. The front tire wear is excellent and the rear is at about 50%. In will be replacing the rear tire due to an extended long mileage trip I have coming up. You should be able to get about 5,000-6,000 miles out of a set with ease. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

​@@doc650adventuresThanks a ton ! Much appreciated.

Great comment Man! Congratulations on owning one of the best motorcycles ever made! The windscreen does not fully eliminate the buffeting at higher speeds but does mitigate it some. It greatly helps in colder weather by reducing the wind hitting your chest and rising up towards your helmet. It is definitely a good addition for the DR. There are some other good windscreens which provide more wind deflection out there. I guess the Parabelum screen is a compromise between size and capability . Great to hear from a neighbor up in Canada! Hope this video was of some help and ride safe Mate!

They are a great thing to have for working on the DR650.

@@josephcaniones4629 My pleasure Joseph! Congratulations! It’s a great bike that’s very versatile. I have taken it off road at times and it did well also. For mild trails and long portions of pavement, it’s hard to beat.

@@doc650adventures 100% agreed doc. Many thanks to you!

@@teslageek9257 Thank you! Glad it was of some use! I sold the white DR to my neighbor and the parts are still working well. They make a Huge difference over the stock setup. Cheers!!

Interesting. No, I do not have that installed. I did not know it existed. My DB killer is wearing earplugs 😂😂 Thanks for the info!

Hi there! The Spyders do move out quite well! The interesting thing is how responsive the steering is. Hope to see a video from you soon! Cheers

Hello! I went with the 130 in the rear. It does well on and off road. The side walls are tough and a pinch flat should not be an issue. An example of this is K had them sitting around for awhile (mounted) and put them back on my DR and they looked fine. In always check tire pressures before a ride and they were at really low pressure even though they supported the weight of the bike fine. Also, a friend has them on his Tenere and he rode across the US twice and still had plenty of tread left. They can get sketchy in wet situations though due to the tire compound. Hope this helps! Ride On and Cheers!!

Thank you very much. I will get one today or order one. Arkansas is putting down some jagged gravel down on my roads between here and work. My revered (cheap) Shinko 244 is not holding up well.

@@robbieandbeckieMy pleasure! Glad to help! They will do great in gravel also!

@doc650adventures Thanks, just ordered one at Cyclegear!

😂😂😂Us Boneheads are everywhere!

Excellent! Glad to hear that you have a great solution to the seat issue! The SC seat is OK but it does take awhile to break in. Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!

Should I order it for a pre 19 model

@@Oatmeal_TVx If you’re talking about the DR 650, Yoshimura RS2 exhaust should work on a 2024. I would check their website to ensure it does work. All DR650s are the same from 1996 on (other than emissions stuff after 2022) that doesn’t affect the exhaust system

Hope you are enjoying the wind screen! It make a good bit of difference!

Thanks Man! It’s a rocket!

Haha Ted! I like em both!

Thanks! It’s a red rocket for sure! Cheers!

FNA OBI!!

That makes a bunch of sense! Thanks for the tip! Cheers!
