Hello! Is it okay if I use this video in my compilation. Full credited ofc. Thanks in advance.

How are you? May I feature this one for my upcoming video edit? I'll fully credit you of course. Thanks in advance!

Hey, can I include your video in a compilation? You will be credited

Could I use this video for my upcoming projects? Thanks for your help

Those who really want to use the clip for "education purposes" should be aware that I was under sag, with rider sag at about 44% instead of 30%. (I've since replaced the spring on the rear shock with a stiffer one.) If you've heard the latest Adventure Rider Radio podcast with Chris Birch talking about setting up your suspension for balance (front to back), you'll know that the front end was light and likely contributed to it sliding out. Yes, I was probably going too fast for a downhill muddy section too, no doubt. I was also riding too close to the edge in an effort to avoid the deep gravel that builds up in the middle. Live and learn.

Hey! May I have your permission to use your dashcam clip in a compilation? Linked and credited. Thanks!

Hey there. All good to feature it in my next episode? Full credits + notification as soon as I do. Thank you so much!

Sure

Hello! Would it be okay to use it in compilations and maybe on some of ours Social Networks? You will get full credit for it. Thanks

Hi. Thanks for the video. If you're still checking, this many years later, what are the (neoprene?) fork protectors you are running? Thanks! John

thanks for giving me a tour , you must watch the anime vinland saga .

What year is your bike? And thanks for very informative video 👍 Im currently looking at a low mileage 2001 😊

Loved the paint job. Great modifications

Отличный мотоцикл!

Hey. I really appreciated this video. I just purchased a 2006 f650gs and starting to play with it so all your advice was gold!!! Thanks Steve from Burlington

My water pump to my G650GS gave out right after I started watching your video. I made it home and put my moto away and later in the day I finished watching your video. I was like yeah, Ibguess you are right. Man, I love this bike though!

Im on the stock seat and as you say it is a little cramped. I will be on the lookout for something more suitable. Good looking GS btw 👌

Great bike 👍 I upgraded to the latest Tourance model. They're only a year or two old. So far so good.

I hate the stock seat too. It forces me forward into the tank like he pointed out. Smashing my junk😅. I put a stadium sest cushion in the dip, wrapped it with medical ankle wrap stuff to keep it in place. Then made a cloth sleeve to cover it. Works, cost $5.

Good job my friend

Thanks considering buying a 650gs , this video is great and appreciated

Nice obstruction piece you have there. Sets perfectly into the view of the road in front of you.

Screen hinge is bang in the line of vision. Downright dangerous.

Sure is nice to get out of the city where there’s no traffic.

can you give a link to the battery and the gear liver?

Awesome video going over what you've done. Im considering either an f650gs or klr650 for my first street legal bike ive ever owned since im coming from dirt bikes. Pros of the gs seem to be better on the road, lower cg, better protected gas tank, lower seat height which ive found in my experience on my previous bike to be helpful since it allows you to penguin the bike over extremely rough terrian with your feet down, slipping the clutch. Pros of the klr are higher ground clearance, about 1.5 inches more suspension travel, bulletproof engine after doohickey and thermobob are done, and far more aftermarket and oem part support, cons of the gs being its a bmw so proprietary parts and tools = $$$ and possibly less reliability, cons of the klr being worse on road, more buzzy, less horsepower. Honestly there so close i think ill buy whatever pops up first in my price range

Did you sell the 650? I saw that you’re now riding a Triumph. What the switch?

Hi - the body of your bike looks like it has a beautiful shine. Did you repaint it? What product do you use to get that look? Thanks!

just picked up a 07 gs 650, stoked to ride it now.

Hi Kevin what are you riding. Triumph???

Nice GS! I have one on The same colour, a 2011 one. Where did you bought The headlight protector? Greetings from Brazil!

hi would be nice toget your voltage regulator out of there to a higher location with more airflow

Checking out your set up and wondering who made your upper neoprene fork protectors? Link? Going for the prefilter Golan as you great idea versus big car type. Really enjoy these bikes. Thanks for the help

Hi, I have a 1998 F650 Funduro with 98000 km and I added 200 cc of oil in 6000 km

I went the other direction with my windscreen - adding a higher windscreen through Madstad. It's created a soft air pocket around my head that is so much quieter and more comfortable. Best mod I've ever done.

Thanks for the video. What kind of panniers and what make of rack for them. Thank you.

I came here for that seat info. That isnt a stock seat. It looks way higher and flatter than my 05

Hi will you put an address on the polish company that makes the headlight protection Regards Palle

Nice video! I just bought a 2005 Dakar version here in Japan. Already loving it and looking forward to putting miles on it. Thanks for some useful hints and tips.

Late to this vid. Enjoyed it. I am on my second 2007 black F650GS totalling about 100K km. It looks like you have a taller seat of which I am slightly envious. I too am 5' 8" but even so, find my knees bent too much and I wish I had more leg extension for long rides (over 6 hrs/day) . All 4 BMWs I have owned were subject to cross winds but I do like the upright position for visibility. I like that you suggest 4600 is a good efficient RPM, I come from longer stroke big singles and tend to short shift and cruise at 4000 RPM but everyone says "Wring 'em out!" so I will. That oil consumption is surprising to me. Best regards,

Anti-Gravity battery didn't work well in this bike. The thermal sensor in that unit was tipping in 32-33 degree heat and shutting down the battery. It's a good battery but just not for this bike that has so much heat in the air-box. I've got an AGM battery in there now and will probably go back to the Shorai when they are back in stock.

What kind of crash bars you have??

Thank you and Greetings from Germany👋🏻

Just purchased similar bike. Very helpful. Thank you!

Hi Kevin, thanks for the info. Picked one of these up earlier this year and am starting the customization process. You gave lots of good inspiration! Question: With you mudguard comment take it you do two up on the bike? Did you change the shock weight any? I've been taking my girlfriend on back, but I feel like it's riding too low in the suspension. (Even with preload adjusted)

Very interesting thank you.

Kevin, thanks for the video and your insights....I've picked up several ideas! I've a new owner of a 03 Dakar and so far liking it a lot. It looks like you have a tank bag (based on the straps I'm seeing in this and your "dirt" video). Do you mind me asking which one you use and how well you like it?
