Good job making it all the way through!! But i think it would be a much comfier ride if you had a true off road bike... But we can always try to go new places with what we already have. Waiting for part 2 this one was perfect!
@@hypermotardking currently looking to buy a triumph street triple 765 for the road and maybe something like a yz250 for the dirt...but I think i will have to learn how to drive in the dirt the feeling is so different from the road I bet i will drop my bike a lot of road i would have to get used to it because it hurts seeing your bike down Any tips for dirt riding that you learnt?
Buddy, nice trip, but I’m suggesting better preparation of the motorcycle. I initially prepared my Hyper 698 like this: front suspension - neoprene socks, rear shock absorber - my wife sewed me a Cordura suit fastened with Velcro, which covers the entire rear shock absorber. I have already purchased a cover plate from Evotech for the engine. From time to time it is useful to have a stronger load on the rear wheel, that is why I have attached passenger footrests - from Ducati 999, I have impact-resistant mirrors from a Chinese scooter... In the future I will change the front shock absorber tubes to chrome steel ones, but still with neoprene socks, front wheel 19 inches, rear 17 inches + DTC off, and change the gear ratio, because in 1st and 2nd gear the motorcycle is too fast for my purposes (off-road riding)... I am also waiting for someone to come up with the idea of enlarging the fuel tank - and it is possible to raise it near the fuel filler and possibly enlarge it at the front next to the shock absorbers - there is still some space there… Ride safely and swear less ;)
Mate you’re a star. Cringing when you fall off but proper smiling for the rest. Andy and Bob are great guys. I’m gonna have to give the 690 a go, although shitting my pants already 😂😂
@@theperipateticgumshoe9047 Maybe just being a bit heavier on the 950 it just gripped/went better - but speed wise was a lot quicker on the 698 in some sections
The 698's engine and gearing is poorly suited to sketchy offroad. You need a bigger rear sprocket to get the revs and torque up, and you'd still need to cover and feather the clutch in the slow parts. I ran a 52 tooth sprocket on my 690 Enduro, and that engine was far more tractor-like than the 698's. 21 inch front wheel is the proper ticket for offroad. I'd recommend ABS 1 and DTC 4 for slippery shit and would not eff around with airing down (15 psi?) unless I had rim locks. If the rear tyre slips in the wheel you will tear the valve stem off your inner tube, and start figuring out how to get it back home. I doubt your wheels are set up for rim locks, but your 60/40 tyres luckily don't have enough grip to make the tyre spin on the wheel. ABS 1 will turn off ABS off for the rear, and skidding provides better control than freewheeling down a steep slippery slope. If you ever do go tubeless on your spoked wheels then airing down will not be advisable. The "offroad only" tubliss.com/ system does support airing down for motocross and enduro, to zero psi even, but is only available (recommended) for use on specific wheels. Too bad you hadn't done this ride before totaling your first 698 ... you might have considered that hidden path as a run out option. :)
@@xeeded yep indeed.. sme very useful information there. If this was something I wanted to do then I’d make the changes suggested above - but as a one off exercise, it kinda worked and made it through this first part

@@janektestastretta That’s a lot of work to do on the Hyper 👍🏻👍🏻
@@hypermotardking Yes, but for me it was necessary... Greetings from Poland 🙂
Got to be a off-road version in the making- 18/21 wheels skid plate and away we go
@@glennwr450 Thinner/larger wheels would help.. but this is my road bike and for some medium profile knobblies these did ok
Should be at EICMA in a couple days
I always wondered how that bike would ride of road. Now I know haha. Awesome bike!!
@@SRT8-BOOST Cheers.. I think with those TKC-80’s I’d prob do better 👍🏻
@ ya the more aggressive tires are always the way to go!
Mate you’re a star.

Andy and Bob are great guys.

@@Robbiemoto Such a mad laugh these two.. all fun and games and a good way to see what these bikes can do
Goodness me, what a bloody adventure . You are mad
@@ChasingTenths Crackers is what Bob said 😂
Hahaha you mad bastard, excellent video though, great entertainment and had me laughing all the way through 👍
@@paulfoot1042 😂😂 Cheers
Hi Kal, dirt bike boots and lid would help…plus you mad 😂
@@gordonatkins9135 Yeah.. definately need that gear 😂😂
one of the reasons i'm gonna get one... so i can go more places... ;-)
probably need knobby tires for that sorta slippery stuff
@@maddan_78 Yeah.. these are my winter road tyres so thought I’d find out where the limits are 😂
@@hypermotardking need two sets of wheels like with my 4b ;-)
@@maddan_78 I have.. just one of the wheels don’t quite fit at the moment 🤦🏽♂️
@@hypermotardkingyea i know you do... was talking about when i get mine...
1 set knobbies, another barely legal road slicks
I remember you mudding on the 950. You seemed more comfortable on the 950.

8:11 you made it to Dan Dan the Fireman. I've been there too now :)
Great road / sketchy in places if not concentrating 😂
@@hypermotardking but why leave the traction on, usually you don't want anything to mess with your precise steady throttle in such conditions ?)
@@rideinnl it still needs a bit of help.. the DTC needs to be higher
I would want it to off road!
@@davidmallia628 Haha.. true, just seeing how much you can do with all-round winter tyres
a friend of mine punctured the coolant hose on first drop. Imo, this bike is designed with only onroad purpose in mind. Too many things sticking out
@@donkeizluv There is plenty of protection available…
@hypermotardking i don't think so
@@donkeizluv ducabike… evotech.. CNC..
@@hypermotardking if you cover all the weak spots on this bike it might as well look like a piece of aluminum 😂
@ you just cover the basics.. can’t cover everything
Did you have it in wet / de-restricted power mode bud
@@mrrokusho3125 Road.. there is sport and urban.. I probably won’t do this again but handy to know what it can/can’t do
@ brave man.. I’ve got the same bike but got a trail bike for those types of shennanigans
Trailer park girls go…..
