ANSWER: For those coming down to the comments to guess what happened - A reed petal of my VRorce4R reeds basically exploded. The bike was running weird all day but I didn't even think about reeds. I guess it had been chipping during the day until it finally just kinda fell apart right before that jump. The reeds had about 30 hours on them and I didn't realize you need to replace these things so frequently... After replacing the reeds the bike is back to running normal 👍 I'll include a picture of the destroyed reeds in my next motovlog 😭
While it is considered normal maintenance to replace reeds, the stock KTM reeds are known to be junk. They recently switched from sourcing Vforce reeds to making them in house. Vforce reeds will last 10X longer and give you more power.
V force is know for there reeds to chip and brake it’s happened a couple times to me so I personally will only run boyson and I’ve never had any issues with them
Dude that's so scary. Thankfully the bike landed airbox side up. At least you were able to salvage the footage from the GoPro. Audio sounded great too...
i remember i jumped to the side of a 60 table (this is in practice) and on the side of the table there were thorn bushes so i bailed off the bike in the air and the bike landed in bushes and my friend just kept going lap after lap watching me struggle to get the bike out
Switch air box covers I mix 50:1 and the vented cover helps a lot more. Use that closed cover in the woods though. If you don’t have the vented cover I suggest trying that. I just keep it in high end of powerband shifting through gears and it ironed it out for me.
Ah man, super tough break. Your friend is a good dude though, asks if you're ok, then pulls your bike out of quicksand before it sinks into the ether, to the land of missing socks
Yo Derek you are my favourite channel and if it makes you feel better i once fell in a lake and my dirtbike is still there after years love u man keep up the amazing content dude
That was a crazy crash I hope everything’s good but I’m not a 2 stroke expert but it kinda sounded like something to do with the reeds since you are at high rpm alot
Almost promising it blew up, mine did the same thing just off a bigger jump😅 lucky for you you got away pretty clean👍 Hopefully next vid u can te us what was wrong
I got a RM125 and I am having a ton of problems wringing the power out when its under load, I am suspecting a jetting issue with my recent move to high elevations. I am wondering if it can be something as simple as a change in the temperature causing a jetting issue? great content dude, I got LOT of work to do to my channel! ;) btw, just subbed to your buddy, the best part of Enduro Riding is to have friends like that!
Yeah different temperatures cause the bikes to run differently. I got a Lectron carb and the bike runs really well all the time! My issue in this video was because my Vforce4R reeds basically exploded lol
Bro me and my dad ride at this same place and my dad was going over the same jump and he tried to roll the jump bc he didn’t know it was an actual jump then he plummeted just like u lol ( he’s the reason for the don’t roll jumps sign ) I’m not kidding u can ask the lady at the little shack
I believe the reason it’s cutting is cus you letting it engine brake, and that’s a big no-no on 2 strokes, cus when you let off the gas on a 2 stroke your also letting off the oil, and that can cause MAJOR engine issues
You should really be harder on that clutch, it wouldn’t have solved this problem lol, but it’ll get you more drive out of the corners. Hopefully you can ride a gear higher, shift less, and hold a little more speed once you master slipping the clutch.
All mechanical issues aside. Had you pre run the course at a slower speed to survey the conditions? I’m just older and more cautious. That sign could be bigger and bolder as well! Glad you are OK ! Stay safe.
Yeah I had already spun some laps and I've been on this track many times prior as well. I can do all these jumps with my eyes closed I know the course so well haha. Thank you Shawn, all is well!
6:00 Very small sign says "Do not roll jumps" right at the apex of the jump. Not much thinking went into that. I'm surprised the mud pit isn't full of bikes
I would guess a reed issue of sorts, or maybe a air seal issue on your boots. Idk but it was giving some major rich lean back and forth nonsense lol 😂 my favorite part “ my balls hurt” lol
Yeah dude it was giving me the biggest headache all day. I would change the jetting, go for a quick test ride, and say "How can it possibly be both lean AND rich at times??" lol
I think it had something to do with u leaning out the bike and it caused the motor to run less air or less fuel which made the motor to get hot and weld to the piston cylinder. I did they same thing I ran it to lean and it locked up. I got told it was with reeds cuz it focuses ur air and fuel.
It has a lectron carb on it and the lectron is awesome. The issue in this video was the reeds, they basically exploded. When your reeds are bad it's impossible for the jetting to be right.
Might want to check the ignition coil, and make sure the spark plug cap chord is all the way in. I had the same issue and was left dead on the trail just for 3 weeks and 300$ later it be a loose connection. And yes with a ktm 150 sx

I had the same problem on my Ktm 150 I sucked a reed and just bogs out and supposedly it’s pretty known to happen

@@andybj4091 Re-read my post :) The reeds that were destroyed at 30 hours were VForce4R.
What's a reed? I'm currently on a 300 2 stroke suzuki from some time long ago so that sounds like alien tech to me lol
V force is know for there reeds to chip and brake it’s happened a couple times to me so I personally will only run boyson and I’ve never had any issues with them
That was cool of you friend getting in the mud to pick up your bike.
Yea that’s a real friend
That’s what friends are for
Ha
@@AmazingBlaze0 Nothing special about that tho? I mean that's just common sense
@@AlluzHH get tf outa here duh it’s common sense but not every has that.
I guess that’s why that sign said ‘Do Not Roll Jumps’! Yikes, that was scary.
Haha yes exactly why. Many people have broken their wrists on that jump
So glad you were able to slow down a lot before hitting the face! Still gnarly!
Definitely! Could've been much worse 😬
Bro, here's he good news -- You were tearing it UP right before it happened. Your getting fast as hell. Love the channel!
Thanks so much Douglas I appreciate that!
6:29 thats the most peaceful way to say "my balls hurt"
Bro Derek your getting so fast, great job but now we have all learned DO NOT roll jumps with a sign that says “do not fool jump”
Dude that's so scary. Thankfully the bike landed airbox side up.
At least you were able to salvage the footage from the GoPro. Audio sounded great too...
Very scary and very glad no water got inside the bike! I'm not sure how I feel about this mic, still might try the one you use.
@@DerekHallman any luck figuring out what's wrong with the bike?
I'm pretty happy with the current state of my audio setup.
Wow man!! That was scary. It least the mud helped break your fall. My guess is that you ran out of gas??? Can't wait for more!!!!
Oh and that new gear looks fire 🔥.
Super scary! But yeah I probably didn't get too hurt because of the soft mud! My vforce4r reeds were worn and a reed petal basically exploded haha
“My balls hurt” - Derek 2021
Also you forgot to turn the gas on obviously 🙄
the gas would've ran out before the 1st lap
@@galaxyman8183 My comment was completely sarcasm
balls still hurtin' 😂 did I never message you and tell you the issue?
@@DerekHallman I don’t think so, we talked about it when it happened but I don’t think you told me what actually caused it
He’s back on the 125 let’s goo 🔥
You have really good friends. I’m jealous tbh

@@nicholasbonfiglio820 HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Proud to say that i am watching your vids from the raptor 700 times and the rmz
Thank you dude!! Many years
Matching gear with the bikes niiiiccceee lol. Love the videos tho
It was so nice of you friend to get of his bike and help you get yours and ask if you were ok and help get the bike out he is soo nice
dude perfect timing when you fell in the water and the camera went black i got an ad at the exact same time. nice recovery tho

My bike runs fantastic normally, but this ride my vforce4r reeds decided they were done. One of the petals basically exploded.
3:06 that was awesome :D
Ah man, super tough break. Your friend is a good dude though, asks if you're ok, then pulls your bike out of quicksand before it sinks into the ether, to the land of missing socks
You mean ya' wear socks in yer' Alpinestars? Dang! I've been doing it wrong.
I absolutely love your vids I’m glad I clicked on this vid it was actually a good vid
"yeah my balls hurt" best quote from a crash ive ever heard
Love the content that track looks sick
Yo Derek you are my favourite channel and if it makes you feel better i once fell in a lake and my dirtbike is still there after years love u man keep up the amazing content dude
Yo what lake 😂 and is it a Honda if so I bet it’s there waiting on you to rip
i’m glad your ok and i hope you can post more about your bikes
That was a crazy crash I hope everything’s good but I’m not a 2 stroke expert but it kinda sounded like something to do with the reeds since you are at high rpm alot
ding ding ding got it 👍
That was funny lol 😂, but sounds like you fouled a plug 🔌
thanks for watching dude haha my reeds decided to retire on me
I like these videos dude I’m actually a new person for a dirt bike right now but still learning how to ride it
Reeds for sure 2x stroke for life
youve gotten WAY faster sense i last watched you when you first got the 2 stroke
Trying! Thanks for watching Quentin 😁
Almost promising it blew up, mine did the same thing just off a bigger jump😅 lucky for you you got away pretty clean👍 Hopefully next vid u can te us what was wrong
So glad you did not get hurt I figured Dirt in carb reeds ok I live in Chesapeake and have been to Robert's hope to see you one day...
Lol sounded like you fouled a plug, great vid👍
nah I've actually never fouled a plug. My vforce4r reeds decided to retire lol
Ooooooff, that's something I've never seen before.
at least you were able to get up from it man glad your ok
What a good friend running into the shit straight after u and im guessing reeds failed
He sure is! And yep the vforce4r reeds basically exploded lol
hope your okay dude, that was gnarly!
A little sore but overall ok, thanks man!

oh nooo 😭😂
I love your vids
scary fall and right into lake glad you alright
Gear looks soooo sick
Thanks Robin!
Крутая трасса 👍🔥
Good thing it wasn’t a huge open double!
Thus track looks awesome
Imagine not cleaning your airbox since you bought the bike 😬 just kiddin 😂
Hahah these things have air filters!?? Where!??
Great job
Hahah that was crazy man good video
thanks man my misfortune makes for good entertainment 😂
When your friend said do not roll jumps lol
should've read the sign oops😂
Honestly it sounds like your gas was off, the is exactly what it sounds like when my bike does it(yz125)🤙🤙u were shedding tho man! Keep it up
nah unfortunately my reed petals exploded 😭 first time I've ever had that happen. Thanks Trent!
That's one helluva good homie u got DEREK..goin in that muck to get your bike
True that!
Friend "are you okay" you "dude my balls hurts"🤣🤣🤣🤣
Check the reeds my ktm 300 ran like that and my reeds where bad. Thank God you didn’t get hurt
BINGO! First person to get it right
“my finger might be broken” guy falls “laughs”
😂
Maybe the killswith has a loss connection
Nah, my Vforce4R reeds decided to retire on me haha
dude i ride here all the time and im always scared thats gonna happen to me on that jump lol
i thought he was drownin in the little puddle🤣
2:55 best part
reed cage go boom boom
100% haha literally boom boom
That was a easy kick to start!!! New top end soon?!!!!
Top end has about 5 hours on it 😁
@@DerekHallman i have 300+ on my 99 rm 250 lmao
Make sure ya turn the fuel on next time bro 🤙🤙🤙😂😂
hahaha fuel was the first thing I check when we drug it out of the pit. It was on and had a full tank! My reeds actually chipped and said bye bye 😂
Haha wow iv never heard of that happening mate. Good thing your ok.
@@DerekHallman I knew it was your reeds
best crash I have seen
I believe the reason it’s cutting is cus you letting it engine brake, and that’s a big no-no on 2 strokes, cus when you let off the gas on a 2 stroke your also letting off the oil, and that can cause MAJOR engine issues
Not necessarily. The engine is still under vacuum when you engine brake, which is still going to draw fuel and oil through it.
Same thing that happened to my blaster needed carb rebuild
Kay-tee-emm ☕️
This looks like mxgp3 complex map
I honestly have more fun riding my race bike in the streets then in the dirt.
what track are you on iam a first time watcher?
I have no idea what the problem is. I’d start with the easy stuff first though like fuel and spark. It’s hard to troubleshoot a bike I can’t touch.
You should really be harder on that clutch, it wouldn’t have solved this problem lol, but it’ll get you more drive out of the corners. Hopefully you can ride a gear higher, shift less, and hold a little more speed once you master slipping the clutch.
Please explain slipping the clutch as I don't ride.
you know youve got a real homie when the first thing he does after you wreck is jump in the bog and help you out
Hell yeah he jumped right in that muk
You left your fuel off didn’t ya 😂😂
Glad your okay man
Thanks Jesse
2 strokes are just so much better for some reason
I'm laughtin at your fall
That track looks so fun. So much open space to pick up speed. Where is it?
It's a really fun place. It's in Virginia.
All mechanical issues aside. Had you pre run the course at a slower speed to survey the conditions? I’m just older and more cautious. That sign could be bigger and bolder as well! Glad you are OK ! Stay safe.
Yeah I had already spun some laps and I've been on this track many times prior as well. I can do all these jumps with my eyes closed I know the course so well haha. Thank you Shawn, all is well!
LOL I hate that last puddle jump before the finish line table(stepdown with no knuckle? idk) thats fuckin hilairous!!!!!! glad youre alright
haha its really funny to watch it again but it sucked at the time! Bike malfunctioned at the worst time 😂
I think it might be a Reed he's haulin so it would make sense
Love the fit just subscribed I have a 2019 ktm 350 how’s the power on your 150 ?
Thanks for subbing dude! Power on the 150 is awesome, pulls hard. Not smooth and torquey like that sweet 350 of yours though.
It’s crazy it happened right there like damn
suckkkss haha
That is float level!
Nah it was my Vforce4r reeds. A reed petal basically exploded!
6:00 Very small sign says "Do not roll jumps" right at the apex of the jump. Not much thinking went into that. I'm surprised the mud pit isn't full of bikes
You should tip your gopros up a little its hard to see whats going on sometimes
Shocker was on
I would guess a reed issue of sorts, or maybe a air seal issue on your boots. Idk but it was giving some major rich lean back and forth nonsense lol 😂 my favorite part “ my balls hurt” lol
Ok I just saw your pinned post. I honestly thought more of a air leak issue but reeds are the easy fix.
Yeah dude it was giving me the biggest headache all day. I would change the jetting, go for a quick test ride, and say "How can it possibly be both lean AND rich at times??" lol
@@DerekHallman wild! And I’m glad you made it out with only bruised balls lol 😂
sick conten! feel bad for the Gopro tho, hope nothing serious.
thanks dude!

Spark plug got fouled most likely
Nope, spark plug was good 👍
"ye my balls hurt" LOL
I once had a jet unscrew itself while in the middle of nowhere
Your bar pad ran out of water
No clue what happen but I definitely laughed a lot at your expense 😂😂
Duuude. So lucky that wasn't worse. Nightmare stuff
So true man. Actually super lucky that the pit between the double was soft!
You should put a lectron carb on it !
It has a lectron carb on it and the lectron is awesome. The issue in this video was the reeds, they basically exploded. When your reeds are bad it's impossible for the jetting to be right.
@@DerekHallman oh yeah just saw your comment! Thumbs up👍
The lectron carb has caused detination to cut out the bike because it was running too rich
Nope the lectron is excellent! Didn't cause the issue. Another guess? 😁
Nope mabey the throttle cable
You stalled it. It happened on my 110cc by KTM
Nope
roberts being my home track i can tell just how much that probably sucked. easily one of the absolute worst jumps that coulda happened on
haha yeah it wasn't fun at the time, but funny to watch the video afterwards 😂
Possibly ignition side oil seal or rubber intake manifold crack, maybe reed valves
Reeds were toast! You got it
@@DerekHallman Dude, you're lucky you weren't seriously injured. I wish you all the best! 😉
I think the oil is going over the spark plug cus that causes it to bough out
Man that's very dangerous. You could be commited to a jump but the bike isn't. Happened to me one time on a 450 suzuki, I almost died. Be safe.
Might want to check the ignition coil, and make sure the spark plug cap chord is all the way in. I had the same issue and was left dead on the trail just for 3 weeks and 300$ later it be a loose connection. And yes with a ktm 150 sx
