    Enjoying your videos. Just curious, what do you usually take with you on an excursion like this in the way food, water, tools, and gear?

      In a bag on the rear fender I have the tool bag that came with the bike, spare tube, and mini-pump. On my back I have 100 oz of water, a sandwich, snacks, and long tire irons. There are also miscellaneous small things like patches and aluminum tape. So, taking chances by carrying the minimum. On this video I learned the value of carrying extra oil, but don't know if I will carry it. Thank you for the compliment.

    Awesome! I have to ask about the rekluse auto clutch. Is it a new thing for you? because I see you using a standard clutch in the other videos. Can you show that LHRB set up? looks interesting. My DRZ also has a LHRB, previous owner was running a Rekluse.

      You misunderstood. My left hand rear brake is made by rekluse. I do not have a rekluse clutch on any bike, and don't ever plan to. Unfortunately, I can't add a photo to a comment and don't have any film footage of it from this trip to add to the upcoming part 2. The bar riser creates a perch for the attachment of the brake lever. As such, both levers travel horizontally in the same plane. My hands are big enough to reach each lever individually or at the same time. Despite how much I like it, I have not put one on my 300. Maybe my next dual sport ride I show more of the bike and explain why I like it.

    Do you by any chance have a GPX track for this ride that you could share?

      Sorry, I don't use those kinds of devices. Although I know it is buried in the gopro video, I don't know how to access or use it. I use the National Geographic maps of the Tahoe National Forest West and a lot of trial and error. I tried to give enough info so others could find their way too. The Rubicon Trail is at the bottom of the map, but it is good to have to the Crystal Basin map as well.

    How much range do you get on your 3 gallon tank?

      I bought the 350 to do dual sport rides in the Sierras. My experience is that on mixed terrain (pavement, dirt road, and trails as on this video) I need 2 gallons after 6 hrs of easy riding (even if the terrain isn't easy). This seems very consistent for that kind of use (Loops around the Rubicon and Dusy-Ershim trails). It is nice having that safety margin of an extra gallon when doing something unfamiliar in remote areas.

      @@outonabikeride252 are you happy with the 350? I currently only have a 690 that I use for long distance rides. It's a little too heavy for some of the trails I would lile to ride in the Sierras. Right now I'm looking for a dual sport for tighter trails and I'm between a 350 and a 500. They seem to be really close in weight. What drove you towards the 350?

      @@alvk3996 I wanted the bike that would be best in the most difficult of conditions. My thought was a 350 would be lighter, stay cooler, use less gas, and not tire me out by wanting to keep going when I wish it had stalled. I was also concerned the gear box steps from one gear to another would be too tall for the difficult trails, forcing me to stay in lower gears.

      ​@@outonabikeride252that makes perfect sense. Your comment is making lean towards the 350.
