I would love to ride the Barlow Trail. Currently I am in the Southern Sierra Nevada mountains camping riding the trails in the Sequoia National Forest for 4 days. Really enjoy your sense of humor. Keep up the good work

Surprised this doesn't have more views

🙂👍

Pretty cool. The Honda was really made for that type of stuff. The 300l Rally has recently sparked my interest but I haven’t seen one in person yet. Is it as small as it looks or is your friend a giant, height-wise? On paper it isn’t that different from the KLR but in your video it almost looks like a toy, although it handles the trail brilliantly.

Can I ask, why you stopped using the awning? Is it a huge hassle, not very useful, etc? I have been looking at a teardrop and really hope the awning provides the "changing room" option.

Just traded in our full size trailer for a tear drop. Didn’t go with a super high quality manufacturer, but it’s still worlds better than the big trailer.

Excellent video! Now try…….in the dark, trail side AND it just started to rain………..

Good coffee is an obsession for me. After many years of chasing the perfect cup, I've long since settled on the old school pour over method. No deep clean required so you always get a relatively clean cup. Vacuum is a close second for unadulterated flavour. For camping though the coffee press seems more self contained, and I do love a nice robust pressed brew. Of course for simplicities sake there is always the Turkish method using an ibrik. Hook that little sucker on your backpack lol.

Awesome. The forests there look magical. Also love how much seemingly open land there is to explore. In NH you run into a lot of gated off areas. Doesn't stop me but it think proves the culture is a bit different. Are those like national forests?

Nice video and ride!

Nice ride, I noticed a camping opportunity or two!, just curious as to what tires your running?, I'm on my 2nd set of Kenda K-270's.... when new they seem a bit spongy on pavement ( not bad but noticeable). I got 7'000 miles on the first set, the front started cupping out , I got lax on checking tire pressure & the front got low , If not for that issue I could of gotten several thousand more on the front, I'll be more in tune with tire pressure on this set...... I have heard good reports on the Dunlap trail Max mission , do you know anything about those?........ Another nice video, thanks!

Great video!

fat guy on a little bike approved.

Nice video. Have been buying Rams since 99. Owned a 99, 07, 14. Torn on the future stay with Ram? Or go to Chevy, Ford, Toyota? Time will tell.

Actually looks a little more intense then I thought it would haha

Thanks for the informative video! This was the kind of reasoning I was giving my fiancé to get a teardrop and will show her this video. We have been trying to decide between teardrops and smaller campers. We have a Subaru outback wilderness with the tow rating of 3500lbs. Most people see that rating and go hog wild looking at the the big campers. I want to stay under 2500 fully loaded. We are a family of 4 (kids are under 5 years old) and most likely we would use a rooftop tent (or I would for sanity reasons lol). We have a few teardrops in mind and going to an overland show in Oct that will have some that we are interested in.

I make my cowboy coffee at home. The trick is to boil the grounds for a few minutes then after you add the cold water you slowly pour it into another cup. The grounds stay at the bottom if you’re careful enough. My camping go-to is a jet boil with instant coffee. But I will drink just about anything.

We have a small square trailer from Tiny Camper Company. Its same concept as a tear drop, just shapped a little different. One very important value point we would like add is how fast you can come and go. We have been able to get into parks that are seemingly always booked by taken advantage of cancellations of others. Easy, simple, fast, and so much fun. Also we tow with a Subaru Crosstrek. Great video.

I have a 2013. The previous owner put a slightly raised wind screen on it I'm only 5'7 so if I hunch just a little it can sustain 80 mph on the highway without too much head buffeting but, I do get pushed around by cross wind and the wind from big trucks. I really like the bike it rides super plush. other than only being able to put one foot flat on the ground at stop lights, it is super easy to ride, basically you don't have to pay so much attention to the bike itself - it just pulls you along. It's not too noisy, it is amazingly smooth for a thumper. I did the basic bitch KLR owner thing by, bungeeing an old milk crate to the cargo rack.

Another excellent video for the new KLR650 owner. Your approach is no nonsense, all information. It’s great to see someone do these jobs with some serious mechanical empathy. Thank you for posting!

Excellent video for the new KLR 650 owner. Thank you for addressing the doohickey tensioner bolt adjustment. Is this somewhere in the service manual? It’s not in the owners manual. Thank you for posting.

What wrench do you need for other side of the rear wheel

Get another ram hemi

Went with the 244s. Pretty nice! Feel a tad more sluggish? Or is it me? Very nice sharp cornering on dirt at 40ish so far. Definitely skates less. Good footing. I used tire paste from NAPA. Made a huge difference for me. Also left the tire in and also worked in the hot NH melt your face sun. Ooof it's brutal but worked a treat.

Nice truck. I still have my 2003 s10 zr2 4.3 vortec. Runs like new. Anyway I'd place my bet on gasoline and Japanese for the future. In my opinion EVs are just not ready for prime time and even if and when they are, there are still many logistics that people aren't considering if they were to go mainstream - I don't see it happening. Isnt Ford cutting production, going back to gas? Our family is looking at either a Forerunner or Tundra.

Did your oil filter cap snap back in place easily or did you seat it by going back and forth with the bolts?

Great video, people treat them like shit and then expect them to last, Oil change every 5k and love her a bit.

She look cool! Saludos desde México

Yep I agree, a bed and a kitchen is what's needed for camping, when it comes to van and RV it is not camping it is about road trip which is on the other side of the spectrum, asphalt-gas-parking lot VS trees-creeks-birds....

Hi, Brandon. Today is 8/8/24. I just wanted to let you know that the fuel pump on my 2023 KLR650, crapped out and left me stranded, on 8/2. I have heard that there was a factory recall, for some of the '22 KLR's. I have also heard other people talking about how the fuel pumps crapped out on their '23 KLR's. My KLR only has 2,750 miles on it. I am pretty sure that it is going to be covered under Kawasaki's warranty program. It's at the dealership shop now, hopefully they'll call and tell me it's ready soon.

A tip for you , use some side cutters to grip the side and angle it and use it like a lever .

What type of camera are you using for capturing video my frend..?..

I enjoyed watching you tighten the axle nut once again so tight that the next sucker that comes along to adjust the chain will struggle just as much as you did especially when dirt and rust and grit migrate into the threads. Just kidding. However a group of guys out there that always over tighten every bolt or break the head off lurking in every town. great video.

I miss my KLR 650 ...

Why was your paddle backwards in that one section?

Super Duper great down the Earth video. If you can do it, I can do it. Thanks a lot. Got to get ordering my graphics from my KTM 890 adventure. Peace out, and enjoy the ride.

lol, you posted at the only 3 spots that get remotely "rapid".😂 it's for starters.

Great down to earth Oregonian review, good for you! Appreciate the aftermarket thoughts. Best, Rola

I learn a lot from you man, I crashed a couple weeks ago on my gen3 and I have a battle scar EXACTLY like yours in the same spot coincidentally. I was super depressed about it until I saw this, now I'm hyped to make something badass out of it

Nice footage! We’re doing a video on the best Oregon roads. Could we use a few seconds of this footage and give you a credit link?

I let my '24 drain oil for 45 minutes, then Googled oil capacity and put in 2.5 qt's. Took me 20 minutes of draining small amounts to finally see oil level at top of sight glass line. Next time Im just buying 2 qt's cuz that would put it in the sight glass window.

I got high by watching this

A tear drop / square drop are basically hard sided tents with a chuck box and maybe a water tank on wheels. Essentially its tent camping with out the hassle of set up tear down and loading the gear. I had a tear drop for 5 years loved it the older kids slept in a tent when they came along. We had baby come along and opted to get a tent trailer still no storage fees more space but what a pain in the but setup and take down was plus I had to drag it out and at least partially set it up to load up or unload it, we got a bigger 28 bunk house. Had issues with stuff breaking, found out we just sat around inside more then anything. Not to mention the storage fees, dragging back and forth to load un load and charge batteries winterize de winterize. That’s gone now and I want to build my own tear / square drop to suit my needs. A tear drop is the most convenient option for last minute camping trips

looks nice, I dont think it looks goofy what about getting the tank camo too

Informative video thanks the the history didn’t know about the bomb site I’m up in the Brookings area at least once a week have never heard about the attack by Japanese subbed👍

You need to start the bike and fill the oil filter and it’s cavity then check the oil level. You can’t really prime the oil filter, it will fill up just fine. I change oil at 2000 miles, it’s easy to remember. One KLR expert determined that 2500 miles should be the maximum interval on oil changes because the bike has a roller bearing crankshaft. The bearings cause a shearing action that will thin the oil after that.

Bin the camo fender adverts.

Bold new graphics and a new milk crate, the best of both worlds, put the stickers on the front fender or send them to Biden

Neat video. FYI, that's the radiator, not a coolant reservoir, voltage regulator/rectifier, a charcoal canister for fuel vapors, and an Aux connector. The relay goes somewhere completely different.

Nice username! And nice bike too!
