    Very nice! Same here in Winnipeg Manitoba. Thank you for sharing. I love to learn how to make bike work in winter time too.

      No problem. It has been a fun way to shorten winter a bit here!

    Badass. Love my KLR! I’m inspired. I was thinking of making studded tires, and maybe getting a paddle tire.

      Those paddle tires look like they'd be interesting in sand!

      @@ak.klr650 you must be at least half crazy to ride that in the winter. I have plans to do it in warmer temperatures. I look forward to seeing it.

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The primary risk is other traffic on the road. I think we've chosen a good time of winter to give it a go. It'll be an experience for sure!

    Just think of the four wheelers who went in shock seeing a motorcycle riding in those conditions 😮

      I saw a couple people scrambling for their phone cameras as I went by. 🤣🤣

    Very nice video! I live near Seattle but have up your way on my 2009 KLR. But that was in (a very wet) August in 2010. No tire studs needed then. Its beautiful up there. I think your Led lighting helped you run that much heated gear. To be safe I limit my heated gear to only a vest. Be safe and ave fun up there.

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks! Yes, I should probably invest in a jump pack just in case I screw myself over with the gear one day. It's dome well so far though. 😊

    Great video! As for winter driving I think your low traffic is pretty key to your safety, as we just have too many drivers here in Fairbanks that have very limited winter driving capability. I find I have to dodge a few choice individuals each week driving my Jeep to avoid accidents, and that makes me totally uncomfortable in riding my DRZ in the winter here.

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'd pass straight through once if I had to, but wouldn't ride there in town on purpose much. Geniuses up there manage to slide off the road on the dry straight stretches, say nothing about the ice.

  • @Porsche996driver
    @Porsche996driver 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Amazing and impressive! Love those studs!
    Riding at -10?! Who knew lol.
    Gorgeous landscapes and lighting as you said! You deserved that coffee well done ha.
    I’m in SoCal OC so I need to stop complaining right lol.

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you!
      Comfort in all weather all depends on your gear and what you're set up for I guess. 😂 I've done some miserable cold rides at much warmer temperatures in the past. This one was about as comfortable as you can be outdoors in winter. 👌

    Burrrrrrr!!!!

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I was notably more comfortable than you'd expect. But the wind chill on a bike at below 0⁰ is certainly something to dress for!

    Hey man, nice work experimenting with the cold! Mind if I ask what boots you’re using? I have a bum foot that keeps getting cold with an old injury… Good luck in your future journies! E-

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks! I am just wearing old military surplus bunny boots. Not much for ankle protection, but they're waterproof and warm!

    I would like to install auxiliary lights on my KLR. What brackets did you use to attach your lights on your SW Motech crash bars?

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you!
      They are the SW Motech crash bar ligjt mounts. If I remember right, they came separate from their EVO high beam kit, but are made to go with it.

    Would u know what is the widest rear tyre i can put on a klr adventure?

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't actually know. I have never gone away from the stock size.

    I have a 2023 klr 650 that wont start below 20. Any tips?

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's normal unfortunately. You have to warm the engine up to start them. I am in the process of working out a portable solution that I hope to have success with. All of my trips so far have been day trips leaving from a warm garage and not letting the bike cool off too much between starts.

  • @MissilemanIII
    @MissilemanIII 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Did you put screws in your tires?

      Nevermind 😂

    • @ak.klr650

      I guess you found the answer. 😂😁

    The music is a bit loud. Hard to understand what you're saying. As far as enjoying winter, as a transplant (not to AK though), vitamin D is your friend. Before i was taking Vitamin D, i kind of dreaded winter. After taking vitamin D for 6 months, I found all of a sudden that winter didn't bother me. Get your D25 hydroxy tested, it's eye opening.

    • @ak.klr650
      @ak.klr650  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks! I'll see about dialing the music back on the next one of these. Still learning on the editing. 😊 I do regularly take Vitamin D.
