In this video Graham mentions the biggest thing you can do to transform the bike is tires and mousse's for soft feel and traction. He mentions that they can't run trials tires, but he likes them for Enduro use.
Below are some Amazon Afilliate links to Graham's tires of choice: the Goldentyre 216 and mousses for Hard Enduro

I love how Graham's set up is pretty straightforward and he has answers to match...not much to it. Bottom line: It's not so much the bike, but the rider. Practice practice, fellas.
He makes everything look like childs play and most of the time he's barely above idle! It really shows you how much it is skill and timing vs horse power.
yes give him klx 140 and see what he can do
Nice to see the old KDX in the background hanging with the big dogs :)
They never go out of style! It's the rider way more than the bike when it comes to Hard Enduro!
Hell yeah!!
It's the rider not the bike
It's not exactly hanging, it's parked. lol
Graham Jarvis is the Yoda of Enduro. He can talk / instruct from now till eternity but he has something us mere mortals do not possess. Incredible balance and motor skills that defy logic. It isn't the bike, it's him. First step to even try to ride like Graham is to master the ability to balance the bike standing still with the engine off. Until you can do that no farkle on the planet will help you ride better....
We were convinced he was not human until we actually saw him fall. I think it was staged!
@@PrimalEnduro I was a spectator at the 2000 Toulouse Indoor Trials which Graham won. If you've never seen it please watch. No nets, foam or spotters. It was an insane course. After doing trials like that it's no wonder why GJ has no fear with outdoor extreme enduros. Nothing outdoors could match this insanity.

@@SD-co5svThanks for that! I never get tired of watching trials!
I've done quite a bit of individual sports and everyone thinks there might be a secret to phenomenal athletes.....they're just really good!....
Had professionals ride my bike, hit my clubs and surf my board and they were all alot better than me......and it wasnt even set up for them! Lol
I love how he doesnt have any crazy formula for the perfect bike setup, he seems to not even know much about it. It all comes down to the riders skills and technique, he could probably get on almost any bike and blow the competition out of the water simply because his skills are unmatched. Moral of the story, theres no shortcuts for being a great rider, only hard work and practice practice practice.
This is TRUTH!
Bike setup is all about feeling comfortable and confidence
LEGEND 👍🏻
Gonna need a tyke translation engine for some of these vids, I reckon.
Awesome!
I should have plenty more to come. Jarvis will be here in 2 months!
cant wait for kuggamugga this year! wish i could of been there to meet graham
You get another chance this September!
@@PrimalEnduro where else do you guys ride? I am also from NJ. ill be shooting ya a followup email ;)
If Graham Jarvis rode your bike, he would still ride like Graham Jarvis.
I've see him ride a 2T with at least an FMF exhaust, TMD chain guide, and some large skid that covered the linkage. So much for "just stock."
I think he was saying that his race bikes aside from suspension are mostly stock. besides that chain guides and skid plate are hardly "factory ride components" all of us can and do use them.
@@PrimalEnduro Just heard Billy Bolt mention in one of his blogs that Graham runs his suspension very soft, softer than everyone else. And prefers the lowest gearing possible, something like 12/52. Idk why it's so hard to get something concrete from the man himself directly. I've seen 3-4 of his "bike setup" videos. He's always vague.
@@gophop 12/48 on 300 2ts seems popular for hard enduro right now, Give it a try with some cheap sprockets yourself, Let me know I might do the same, Also pros will change gearing depending on the course and the conditions possibly their horoscope too. Going from 13/50 to 12/48 should make 2nd gear more usable for the hard stuff.
@@gophop I was thinking the same thing. He was making it seem like it’s just stock and then someone asked him about his $5000 + suspension lol. He’s vague because he wants to keep an edge. Don’t blame him really
Town and Country Cycle Center - I see yall up there. Great shop
I bet Graham doesn't even take that helmet off when he sleeps.
😂👌

You think he sleeps the man is a machine
Reminds me of Jerry Miculek. Pretty much stock equipment. And rare talent.
Talent always wins over money. Many of us, myself included spend too much time thinking the next mod to the bike will make my riding better. When in reality all we probably need is more practice time! You can't buy talent...It must be earned!
Jerry fires light loads hes said it himself. Way less recoil than actual defensive loadings
Whose bomb ass Kawi with the fender bag is that in the background? That dude is the true champion of the day :D
+American Dirt Rider No doubt!
Curious what static and race sag he likes to use
What husquavna is he riding now?
Just imagine how fast he would be on the yz450fx. Would be insane to watch the top bike in shootouts and the top rider.
He would be faster than all of us even if he was on an XR200. 90% rider!
He would beat most, while riding a 150 !!
If a 450 was better than a two stroke he would be riding one. A champion will always use the best bike and equipment not the worst.
that's about it really
Stock carb? *Graham laughs*... Tpi...
KTMSparky video from 2017 before tpi got out
@@philipp4109 iit says 2019
The question was good, because his 300 in this video is a curburated. (1:23)
Graham is so simple in his expression. Not very technical in explanation , but boy he rides a bike !
The Best EVer!
I wanna know who the champ is out there on the KDX :D
Long live the KDX!
Amazing sound quality!
Wondering why no Barkbusters
Graham doesn’t use them probably because he hardly ever falls. However most Europeans don’t use them for whatever reason. I fall a lot so I always need them
@@PrimalEnduro as an european I use them primeraly as a protection against twigs, branches and bushes in the gnarly stuff to avoid the levers accidentally being squeezed
@@pezis9588 I wouldn't ride without them! I thought I read somewhere that they were not allowed in Europe because of FIM racing rules banning full wrap guards.
If you go over the bars, there is a risk of breaking your wrists.
@@PrimalEnduro When your hands slip off the handlebars you can easily break your arms and wrists when you hit the ground, these things are super dangerous and there have been a ton of serious injuries where guys never ride again. Don't use them
he said softer springs, I'd like to know what springs he is running
You have to remember that there are a few things at play here. 1: He has full factory suspension, so his springs/settings likely don't apply to stock stuff. 2: he is very light/fit I'm 200lbs 5'11" and couldn't even put his jersey on without ripping it in 3 places!
seems like a really cool guy
He's very laid back! and humble!
I was wondering if the enduro/cross country riders utilize the hole-shot device??
Why were you wondering...Graham is neither?
@@PrimalEnduro because it was a question that just popped in my head and I thought someone would be kind enough to answer. That person obviously isn’t you! And he is an Enduro rider. Whether you call it hard enduro or extreme enduro. No clue how you can have a website dedicated to “Enduro” and not know that? And finally I did not mention Graham anywhere in my question!
What is the ideal spoket size front and back ?
Stock 13/50
@@PrimalEnduro awesome thanks brother
I like how he dont really care about the setup, its all about the rider :)
always 90% rider 10% bike....give or take
lol, I didn't know we could do 'that' with our helmet,
will try it.
You can, but it's weird at first....you get used to it!
what tire does he run?
Back in 2017 when this was filmed he was on Golden tyre. Today he runs a non production Michelin Gummy. He told me it should be released to the public in the near future.
His Bike TPI ?
This video was shot in late 2017, so this bike was carb. His current race bikes are TPI
High five to whoever's rocking the KDX!
quien es el maestro que maneja la kdx que esta ahi atras?? jaja
80% the rider, 20% the bike...unless you really suck LIKE ME , then you need a KDX
he didnt mention the modded rekluse clutch or the technicalities of his 30k forks ahaha
The bone stock loaner bike didn't seem to hold him back much.. and if he used a Rekluse it would shurely be a manual. Not Autoclutch.
Wonder if he runs a flywheel weight
I don't believe so. 2017+ counter balanced motors can't have flywheel weights (there are clutch weights available)
The bike pictured in this video is a loaner from the local Husqvarna dealer, which was a bone stock 2018 TE300. The stock bike didn't hold him back one bit!
@@PrimalEnduro out of curiosity, why can't the 2017+ bikes have a flywheel weight?
@@carlosl1993 I believe because 2017+ now have counter-balancers. So if you want flywheel effect you must use the clutch weight method.
What Bike is that?
that was a 2018 TE300 (filmed in late 2017)
Seems to be set the bike up to be a jack of all trades master of none, the rest of the equation is just have good riding skills.
He states the biggest difference you can make is tires and mousse choice. everything else is basic soft setup for the gnarly bits which is his specialty....he just deals with it in the faster sections. It's always 95% the rider!
@@PrimalEnduro the only thing that’s really special is how he sets up his mousse and also the bar stop bolt.
He just knows how to ride a bike ha
Yes he does! It''s always the rider more than the bike!
One of thee very best of all time on a motorbike Jarvis 👌
Notice No bark busters.
Generally, the Europeans don't use them, I think because of FIM rules, but I have noticed that becoming a trend here in the states also. I fall over far too often to not have them!
What’s Jarvis height???
Same as me 5’ 11”
So basically, WHATEVER! =]
When you are that good..I guess so.😉
Graham uses mostly stock bike? LOL don't think so: enduro21.com/index.php/extreme/3253-how-graham-jarvis-sets-up-his-2018-husqvarna-te-300i
last 2 years he's been here on a bone stock bike, right from the local dealer. It doesn't hold him back one bit!
Even that bike in the link only has a few minor upgrades nothing crazy. When he says mostly stock he means there has been no engine work done or anything crazy like moto and supercross factory guys ride
Why does it sound like he’s talking from a phone booth?
He talks through his nose instead of speaking out with his mouth
I wonder why he talks about golden tires when he sponsored by Michelin tires
Who says he is sponsored by Michelin?
sorry meant every not very
+Farm Boy OK I didn’t know that. This video was shot in 2017 so his tire sponsor has changed and I’m going to see him in two weeks so I’ll ask him
@@PrimalEnduro Yeah I remember he did use to ride for golden tire. Michelin tires are dominating in the wess series tho, ezberg I think something like top 5 were all running Michelin, same with hixpania enduro. Will you posting about you ride with Graham? would love to see it.
@@farmboy7622 Yes, I'll have tons of footage from the weekend and training sessions. In fact I may ask viewers to send questions and we'll do a Q & A video. Does Michelin make a "gummy" tire?
5% bike and 95% rider.
Do you have Mr Jarvis' permission to post this video?
Surely, you are you kidding me?
All the people moving around making noise, that's like kids screaming next door when your working night shift kinda annoying....
This was filmed on a phone so I had to crank the volume way up in order to hear Graham. Unfortunately that raised all of the background noise as well. I still thought most would want to hear what he had to say so I released it.
What the f is all that background noise holy shit you building a flipping house
So.....its about 80-90% rider and 10-20% bike.
ALWAYS!
He can hardly keep a straight face when he says its a TPI.....we know the truth....TPI is still not fully sorted
This video was shot in 2017 and he was on a carb bike at that time and just testing the TPI bikes. 2 years later, He now rides TPI exclusively. Not saying it is good or bad.
Fuck me that background noise is horrific
Sorry bud, this part was filmed with a phone so the audio was really bad. I had to crank the level up in editing just to hear Graham. Unfortunately that raises the background noise also. This year we'll have better equipment. Thanks for watching.
RealEnduro the content was great so sorting the audio would be 👌🏻
Jarvis would clearly look *way* better riding a Beta..
I'm sure he would. If only they would pony up the cash!
Curious what static and race sag he likes to use
