Another great video thanks. I am in Australia have 1250GS and love those type of trails but also like hitting the high country for some rocky and more technical riding. Not a big fan of mud either which means I need to force myself to ride more mud :-)
Thanks mate I appreciate your support. Estonia doesn't have any high country so I’m missing that, I really loved riding those water breakers when going up a steep fire trail (not sure what they are called but its those jumps that are like every 20-30 meters) culverts? speaking of mud (raises eyebrows up and down) just wait for sundays video. 😂😂
For the future riders on that TET , beware elks deers bears and other wildlife running across. Especially this year we have a lot of accidents even on motorways.
@@BavarianBloodhound1 yeahh luckily in the netherlands its a bit off road for like a couple hundres of meters and then just asphalt so its pretty easy to go around. But those trails you drive look heavenly
Tyre pressure is very importent offroad running 2.5/2.9 on the road and smooth gravel is ok if you are jumping back on the road. deflate to 2.1 and 2.5 should give you some extra grip even on non offroad tyres.
@@BavarianBloodhound1 I agree I did some training with BMW and they suggested going down to 30 psi for off-road. I tried this in the Australian outback and also in some rocky high country and seems to work well.
Hey mate. Just subscribed to your channel, very entertaining, keep up the good work😊. I personally like open desert trails here in Australia on my new to me Africa Twin
Your off-road suspension settings will depend on where and how you like to ride. Personally, I prefer a softer setting off-road to help absorb the bumps and a stiffer selection for the road.
Thanks for the info my friend, I suppose it all depends on the rider to see what they feel comfortable with and what works for them. I will need to just play around with the settings and try soft, medium, and hard. for the road I also use the stiffest setting. thanks for the comment 😁 🤟🤟🤟
@MrKonstantinosP you are absolutely right I should have. But we had other reasons for selecting the tires we did, which I will explain in another video soon. But yes I should have gotten the karoo 4s. 😁😁
This is exactly the type of trails I want to ride. Yes a bit more technical would also be nice. I live in Croatia, soon I plan to buy the exact same Trophy GS. Than I will also go ride TET EU trails, like you man😊
Thats awesome dude, Croatia is one of my bucket list countries to ride especially off-road. I have seen a lot of good trails there on youtube. You will have an absolute ball when you get your gs and when I make it over your way you can show me all the best trails. 😁
@@BavarianBloodhound1 Absolutely man you can count on that. Once I buy my GS I’ll be letting you know here. From that point on any Spring or Summer you come my way we’re going on a ride together.
Thanks man, good to know that I have a riding buddy when I head down that way. On the same bike as well.🤟🤟. I hope your purchase goes smoothly and your out riding in no time. 😁 cheers mate.
They are Michelin anakee adventure tires. They are pretty good tires but maybe just not aggressive enough for me and the type of riding I like to do. Especially if I'm going to be doing more mud, which seems to be the case here in Estonia.😂

Good to know. Thanks for the info. I will keep my eyes open for them. 👀
Ive been stuck in one place with these kind of tires in mud. Luckily you made it! But i swore to never drive mud again on street tires
Yeah they can be pretty unforgiving in the mud. I do try to avoid it as much as possible but sometimes you just can’t 🤣
Cheers for the support mate🤘

The trails here are pretty good but they can be brutal at times. At least you have the tulips to look at.😂 or they are all gone now.
Great video mate, it's good to see someone taking their GS1300 offroad 👍
Thanks mate, I see no point in babing my gs (more than I should)😂
cheers for the support🤟🤟

@FFTheSoul thanks for the tips mate. I shall give it a go the next time I'm out on the trails.😁

Thanks for the support mate. Desert trails sound fun. The affy twin is also a great bike.

You should have gotten the Karoo 4s it comes with.
We rode in the bmw park with them also much lower pressure
