@Nigriff Im glad you can relate to it

@marvalouslegend30 I ended up Putting knight design lowered pegs on the bike because I still had trouble shifting with my tech 7 boots. But i did like the way the worked

@ReluctantNomad We both still have these bike and recently completed the Tat501 on them. They have both been flawless so far. We have just been really busy with other stuff to post unfortunately.

@AdventureBert We would love a long-term review vlog on these two bikes!

@@ReluctantNomad Hopefully soon!

@user-dv7hb2sc9m insurance for the Cb500x a 24 Crf450rl and 24 Tenere 700 is about 600 a year for me.

ALL 3 bikes is just $600($50 a month).... That's not too bad at all, I thought the 500x would cost that much for it alone? Thanks for the share, peace.

@user-dv7hb2sc9m I'm married 45 and safe driver on license, so it could be different.

Yes, your age & record says volumes about the rates you can expect. Another reason for higher rates is if you live in a County that has a City or large number of upper middle class or rich folks. One City within a County whose populace are well to do will spike everyone's rates but I digress. You've shared a lot of good stuff, I hope others see some of this thread. peace

@richardstruhar263 It's a bit louder than stock with DB-killer and perfect without DB-killer. My size 12 still touches but not as bad, I dented the pipe a bit and wrapped in black header wrap too prevent melting boot.

@butterytoast4836 I went with stock sizing for the rear. I would suggest if you ride a lot of rocky areas run the IT rear. The ST rear will get worn fairly quickly because of the softer compound. We just finished the Tat501 and 2 bikes had this combo and 1 had the IT rear, the IT held up a lot better after 650 miles and the ST looks like they will be toast at 1000miles. Either way the tires performed incredibly.

@@AdventureBert there isn’t much rocks expect up north in New Jersey. Usually a lot of soft sand with mud and some hard pack here and there. I’ll definitely try both the I/T and S/T. I only see 130 size available for rear on Rocky Mountain. Do you recommend a place to purchase the tires from?

@@butterytoast4836 www.chapmoto.com/

@butterytoast4836 I run the 90 100 21 fatty Enduro ST on the front of my 450rl and my Tenere 700 and love them, we have used them on 5 bikes now and sand and mud they are amazing

@@trex7758 it's a rear rack off of amazon

I'm not sure the difference is DB but it's way better sounding to me, without is pretty ridiculous lol. Snorkels removed and stock tune

Hoping too put some together soon

@@AdventureBertSubscribed!

@@Matt-xi8zr appreciate it

They are super neat bikes, Glad you enjoy it!

Thank you! I have the H.S. version which is 960mm seat hight and the riding position, ergonomics and everything is fantastic. Greetings from island of Crete

Yeah its pure 🔥 in person going through the gears using quickshifter

@@AdventureBert The tune available for the ECU really wakes it up.

@lifted_above haven't got one yet but it's on my list. Tst is local to me so the plan is to have them do it.

@@AdventureBert Cool. Florida? I personally think 2WDW offers the highest quality for the cost, due to the obsessive compulsive minutia of their tunes in getting everything absolutely perfect.

@lifted_above yeah, they are 20 minutes away and I can drop by and have them upload the tune while I wait. 2wdw I have heard great things about also

Yeah I love them!

It's a lot of fun for sure, I'm happy with my purchase

@@AdventureBert anything you wish you would of purchased as add on already or good the way it is so far

@sgtliles30 The GET Sx1 Ecu from tacomoto.co makes the bike and absolute dream, I wish it was like that from factory. I have it with stock exhaust. Tires, Tune and Scott's Damper and I can take the bike through anything.

Appreciate it!

@@AdventureBert Np

Atlas but you can get knock off version for quite a bit cheaper

It should be, but there are also a cheap set of risers available that gives you a more height if needed.

It's helped some, I think it would help more for Shorter riders. I'm about 6'3 with boots on.

I have full Rally Raid suspension on the bike with tall Seat so it's quite a bit taller with Motoz Rallz tires. The bikes aren't terribly priced its just all the fees they tack on for me that makes it hard to stomach. The tire selection is pretty slim for this bike as you said.

The added fees are less with a used from a dealership like destination/shipping and sometimes set up fees, it pushes me over my budget.I bought a bike just before covid for so much less.@@AdventureBert

I put full M4 exhaust on the bike and it sounds pretty rowdy even with a db killer in, I just haven't had time to make a video yet.

Yep we still Have the CB500X and Kove 450

Only have about 100 miles on it so far but she's a ripper!

Went from D606 to Tusk Dual sports and unfortunately the bike had a misshap in a deep water crossing and the engine went south. He's running Motoz Rallz Rear and Motoz Desert HT and it's his favorite combo so far. You can't go wrong with any of the above tires.

Definitely! It could lead too splinters though 😆

They are Motoz Tractionator Rallz Tubeless. They are incredible on and off road including sand and mud and wear down extremely slow, but they are pretty loud on road. Just wear ear plugs 😆

@@AdventureBert Thanks, sorry I didn't thankyou sooner!

I haven't yet, my wife has sat on the back and there is plenty of room though. I'm 6'2 and she fits without me feeling squished. We plan on it soon though.

@@AdventureBert Thanks for the info! Currently rolling with a DRZ dual sport and looking for something more streetable (though the DRZ is fun for some backroad blasting). Also in Florida but closer to Tampa and getting to offroad areas is a trek on the DRZ and a little different than the Pennsylvania backcountry where I originally bought it lol

@waclaskil The DRZ is a great bike, was the first motorcycle I purchased. I would keep it if you can lots of adv riders in florida, just a bit different terrain.

@waclaskil We did take a 60 mile ride last weekend and my wife loved it, she said it's extremely smooth but her butt ache more than when she rides on my CB500X

@@AdventureBert Yeah, I really want to keep it. It’s a great bike. And I do need to get out and explore what Florida has to offer ADV wise for sure! Any recommendations? I’ve been up to Richloam. Just about finding the time these days

I have a Giant Loop Waterproof rogue bag and have a klim backpack for days I need extra storage. That seems to work pretty well, you can run cinch straps underneath the rear seat for attachment points.

Yeah this year we will leave before the crowd if we ride it again, but having to slow down on a 440lb CB500X is a pain and all of us wish people would have been a bit more self aware. Thanks for commenting!

It works wonderful in pretty much all conditions, I ride it to work with some highway and some backroads a few times a week and have a bunch of off-road miles too. It never disappoints and I two up with the misses often also. You should be comfortable in the stock seating position and the suspension will be fine for commuting.

It's standard bar with this pancake mount. www.ebay.com/itm/384883355359?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=catotdqnqtw&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=MdyM5V4aTdm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@AdventureBert thanks for the eBay link. Are you 100% happy with this mount, or do you wish you got a different one? Just got an CB500X, thinking about spending the big bucks for a Zumo (the new version). Are you glad you got it, worth it?

@Yowzoe I have about 3600 miles with it installed including some wild offroad riding and quite a bit of road riding. Would purchase again if somehow it break. It sits real flush which makes it look more factory to me.

The bolt is not welded

Thank you!!!!

@btothey7243 no problem, you will love the sound uncorked

@@AdventureBert love the sound!!!! its just a 9mm bolt... I also removed the silencer on my vespa's akra also. Thanks mate!!!

I wear custom fit earplugs. I agree the sound at highway speeds is awful, but these tires are amazing off road including super soft sugar sand and in the rain. They also will outlast most other tires brands in wear so it's a trade off.

I've now completed the first service and changed rider modes as I've gotten used to the bike and it's completely manic haha you will love it!

I put the Suzuki style on it temporarily, but I will be looking at a combo like you mention in the future.
