@@olityson thanks dude. My go to is usually off road 2. It doesn’t spin up as much on the climbs and wet rock in off road throttle as opposed to rally.

@@advweekender5709cheers, so much to try out when I get the R next week. Thanks for your prompt reply and keep up the impressive skills 💥💥💥

Oh another question: do you rock the original sprockets or did you tune down on a 15 front and whatever back?

@@olityson no probs dude. I’m running the same gearing as stock. But I’ve swapped the chain and sprockets to a 520 size.

Well done Laurie! What’s the next challenging lane that’s on your list?

Pump house and London Rd. I've ridden them before but I'd like a crack at them again sometime. I'm nearly sixty so tend to do the easier trails, but needs must. 11 of us in South Wales TRF did the TETTY last week, Chapel Lane is proper slippery

Cheers dude! It’s great fun

Zurawskimotorsport below in the comments dude. However his T7 is highly modified. The others don’t unfortunately. T7 Enduro on instagram has some content thought dude.

Hey Calvin. If you search Lee Walters Off Road Training on Facebook you will find him. He does all sorts of enduro training and also has a private training area where he holds pay and play days. He’s based in Hay on Wye.

Let’s hope I never break it dude. I’ve replaced the headlight holder twice and inner fairings 6 times. All been relatively inexpensive luckily. The bike crashes well in my opinion and the tanks are very strong and seem to take most of the force. If I did break the headlight I think I would put an exc mask on and turn it full enduro 😂

My 890 fell over in the driveway hitting the front bottom corner of the skid plate sending all the force to the rubber grommet and cracking the tank $1570 later I got a new one and replaced the skid plate with an outback Motortek

@@advweekender5709Mine has tipped over twice, once was kind of a hard landing involving a cement curb and pavement.....its been lucky so far, honestly if Im thrashing hard in the dirt Im riding something else that doesnt weight 470lbs.

@@user-ktm890riderYikes. A different skidplate will help we hope....mine just lands on the gaurds on the gas tank so far, kind of like a BMW twin on it's cylinder heads....Im not planning on tipping it over much, my DR650 went 51,000 miles with out a crash or tip over.

Thanks Jim!

I’m using Michelin mediums dude.

@@advweekender5709 cool thanks! and what rims? the PP heavy duty?

No problem dude. I’m using SM Pro aftermarket wheels. 1.85 and 2.50 so I have a better choice of aggressive tyres.

@@advweekender5709 may i ask you 1 more question? since i'm more the amateur adv rider but interested in stuff like sweet lamb or valley lite (maybe), what would be your advice: is it a bad idea to think about this stuff but staying on stock rims and 150 tyres 50:50 like anakee wild? i'm not going to try to reach your pace but riding such stuff really attracts me. there is always some trouble with road legality when switching to 140 rims/tyres and i'm doing a lot of traveling where 150 is ok for me.

I’m happy to answer as many questions as you like dude. You will have no problems running the 150 rear. Still a good range of tyres to choose from that will be just fine. Friends of mine are still running the 150 and do some pretty hard stuff no problems. Motoz have a good range of tyres and the mitas e09 seems to be popular.

You and me both dude! 😂

@advweekender5709 I have an 890, so I think it upped the anxiety level! Honestly, I was super impressed with the trails over there. I did not think riding in the UK could be both as beautiful amd difficult as you were showing.

What were you riding dude?

I was on a Husky 350. Riding pretty slowly ;)

Thanks Rich!

Took the wrong line 😂

@@advweekender5709 Pesky enduro riders getting in your way

Figured he was going to live. Got tunnel vision and didn’t grab a marshal. Went down pretty hard.

@@advweekender5709 lolol love the honesty. Here was me thinking, ah there's a helpful fella... but yeah although it definitely would've hurt, ultimately it looked like a bad shoulder stinger and he would've been fine I'm sure.

So how many hours did the cleanup take?😂. I’ve got a 790R and man, the mud hides everywhere!!!

@@jeffvincent1960 about 2 and a half hours dude 😂. The mud at this venue dries like cement! And yes the 790/ 890 has so many hiding spots where the mud gathers.

Great lap and pace to share with us all . Top job on the katoom 👌

Thank you very much Jeff

I’m still bloody shattered! Thanks for the awesome photos Jay.

I use an aftermarket set of wheels dude. More narrow.

Thank you dude! It was an immobiliser failure message. It happens from time to time. Cleared itself in the second lap. I’m using Renathal Fat Bar McGrath bend

​@@advweekender5709Ah, good it fixes itself ^.^ . I saw your videos pop up multiple times, and always wondered what handlebars you are using. Is the clearance between the handguards and the screen a little acceptable? I tried to find a moment in the video on which you full lock the handlebars, but couldn't find any.

Luckily there is clearance between the hand guards and display. It’s not a lot, but enough and not had any issues.

Thanks Fede!

See you at the next one dude 😉

Thanks Rich!

Thanks dude. Found them on eBay

Certainly was dude.

Cheers Jas! Can’t wait, see you there.

😂 he is loving the DRZ

I didn’t even notice dude 😂. Look forward to the next one

Top job dude! I enjoyed your last video through Brechfa. You doing Valleys Lite?

@@advweekender5709 yep, I’ve signed up. You?

@@bigberthaontour yes dude. I’ll see you there

😂 nothing crazy dude!

I use Michelin trackers for trail riding dude

Dude it’s on my list to go back and get it done!

Cheers Rich!

Thank you dude! I will leave the music out next time 🤘

Cheers dude. Look forward to a ride soon ✊

Thank you Mario. They are generic mirrors from eBay dude.

It was a shame dude. I haven’t booked it in for definite yet as December is typically busy with the family. I want to take the 890 to enduro world at some point for some play time.

it would be good to private book it, I'm sure there would be enough ppl, all we need is 8/10

Thank you dude! The camera never does the terrain justice. This was an organised weekend with the Saturday being a bit of a play around the estate and the Sunday being a guided trail ride. Lee was on hand to offer instruction and is very good at what he does. He offers pay and plays from time to time as well as guided tours, 1 on 1 training or group training. Think I made the right choice with the 890. Incredibly playful and fun to ride. Not suffered from any problems with the bike at all luckily.

Found the information doh😂

😂 thanks dude!

I ran Michelin trackers for this event dude.

Would you use them again

I just checked they are proper enduro tyres thanks

@@darnsarf yeah I would definitely. I’m doing dusk till dawn this weekend and am going to run Michelin enduros front and rear. But I will be keeping trackers on for trail riding definitely.
