Hheyy folks.... you need to do MORE videos like this.... maybe Dakar? I love ralley raid racing, being an old SoCal desert rat and Husky rider.... I can live vicariously through your video. Please, please make more..... thank you sooooo much..

Beautiful bikes, but the electronic dash is a deal killer for me. Ill take an analog speedo and tach, foremost. If there's an additional info center, fine. But give me analog!

i know yall are a magazine and all the cool stuff is never seen again. but i would love to see the future refined degremlined strom hit the stages again.

Raced a 700 once, hard work animal to ride quick.

Kevin.. EXPLAIN to the masses.. tuned exhaust pipes .. & pulse tuning.. negative pressure exists in the cylinder well before the piston begins it's down stroke.. Manx Norton has the record for highest volumetric efficiency over 100%

fantastic podcast

Owner's Manual. Owner's Manual.

I've been around probably more Harleys than any other bike. I've never for a second wanted to own one. It's probably because I don't like noise and it seems like noise is mainly what they're good for. I love a quiet bike and even stock Harleys are not quiet.

Imho what killed triumph was vibration. You have to experience it to believe how bad it was. The sohc 750/4 was crazy smooth for not having balancers. The triumph was kick start but in power, build quality, and handling was as good as honda. BMW survived with an aircooled twin. The boxer configuration cancelled vibration. True, they had support of bmw car division.

I love these discussions. My fave thing on the worldwideweb. Thank you Messrs Cameron and Hoyer.

Chain. Any 'tradeoffs' revolve around the maintaining and attention required which only whiners have problems with. Belt is a squishy rubber band that does soften shock in the gearbox but absorbs HP energy in the process. Shaft would be great if not for the horrible jacking effect it has on suspension when under load transitions. And the weight. And the inflexible gearing. Belt is acceptable for E bikes. Obviously I have strong opinions on the topic. Try to remember that anything that ever comes out of anyone's mouth (or is typed into YT comments) is only just opinion. Try not to be like the last douche who just wanted to argue without any new ideas or logic. Thought he was smart though. He got deleted.

I noticed my ex. Valves on my k2 suzuki 1000 has a wide seat out closer to the margin of the valve face .

Please, please address nitrogen in tires! I get it for free at work but some say I’m an idiot to worry about the “extra” nitrogen.

😂 Wait a minute. You mean to tell me I'm living at idle watching you on the telephone... Produce CZcams p*** Well I should be wound out at 11,000 RPMs burning at 13:00 to 1:00 and spitting out a little bit of blue smoke. Just enough to keep my plug Coco Brown 🤎 cool??

Bravo Je suis vacciné HONDA , j'ai dans mon garage un XRV 650 , un XRV 750 , un CAGIVA ELEFANT 900ie et ...un SUZUKI DR 800 . Les motos , c'est mon DADA . J'ai regardé avec beaucoup d'intérêt tes deux vidéos et de préparation de ton 800 DE et de ta BAJA , merci et un BON JOUR DEPUIS L' EUROPE.

My father tune and race his engines in the 60s, he was a nerd for the flow, tuned my 2Ts in the 80s, i know he is listening to you guys and enjoying like me, thanks

Come hither friendly inlet charge 🙂 Anyone know why modern engines lean the mixture at full throttle, when logically you expect it to give the richest mixture?

Professional Racer or professional Athletes are all a different breed of animal that us civilians will never understand. It's not just a switch they push and turn it on. It's burned into their souls, it came with the body and brain. Practice training lifes lessons only sharpen a rare skill set. All the new computer assisted controls on current race bikes make for faster lap times but less talented racers.

Totally awesome!!! Enjoyed very much. Thanks mucho!

With boost mode it goes 0-62mph in 4sec. flat.

Great video 👍👍👏

Wi-Fi O2 sensor like to learn more about that

Where are all the opposed piston engines with their high efficiencies. Did they realize too late that there will no longer be a market for them?

Instead of burning air at 20% 02 , why not plumb an oxygen cylinder to the intake and try that ?

I would love to see a discussion on 2 stroke fuel oil mixes in regards to horsepower and engine wear or any other effects ratios have. I realize there are not any new production road going 2 strokes but some of us still enjoy the old smokers and off road applications. Love these videos!

Just to clarify a typical point of confusion: Boost modifies air density, not velocity. VE is a process of how well the engine can move air into the cylinder. While boost can increase the density of said air, the engine's ability to move that air is a function of (primarily) the cylinder heads moving air quickly into the cylinder (velocity). That's part of the reason why we've seen smaller ports make better power across the rev range time and time again. It is also the reason why a given size port (sized correctly for rpm range and displacement) will be the right size for an engine at 1 bar absolute (atmospheric) and at 5 bar. Also, Kevin had me in tears at 25:17. As many others have said, his talent lies in his ability to explain complex subjects in a digestible manner.

The different series are all great. And their rules work. You want streetbike based? Watch world superbike. You want unlimited F1 stryle tech? Moto Gp baby! With its aero, ride height goodies, launch control, etc. Thats how Martin drags his entire shoulder. Only the tech makes it possible. Moto2 and moto3 feed this series obviously. I only lament the loss of 2 strokes.....I roadrace a 114hp rz350 yamaha in American Vintage roadracing. Evil incarnate. But so satisfying when its right...and it wheelies in 4 gears to 140 mph.

I want a slide trombone exhaust pipe that can spread out the "boost" pulse over a wider rpm range

'refrigerator compressor' is a worse slight than 'lawnmower engine'.

It should be tubeless same as transalp

Sir u are absolutely wrong..this machine makes 37.5 Nm of torque 6500 rpm ..mind it next tym when u speak

That reverse front fender is the best mod I have seen. Need that on my bike.

Great job on the build and the race!!! I’m inspired!

When I’m in the state of grace and some guy blows by me and suddenly I come back to reality. Yea that sucks haha. Is bliss when you’re there man

ZX14.......sorry, the better legend.

I’d be more concerned about the rider fitness than the bike’s

Test rode the 800de yesterday.. watching ygis makes me wanna go bavk and bring it home

I knew from a young age I wanted a motorcycle that runs like a tractor and uses a Ski-doo belt.

I've had baggers of all type and i always regret them. There ugly.

Oh Lord that Sound .... awwww.. such a beautiful bike , well done .. 🤩🤩

How about the cb1100 and cb1300

congrats Justin

Superhelpful, Thank you! Greetings from Sweden.

Some really great riding. That bike is a beast!

When i was desert racing in the southwest in the mid '70s large countershaft sprokets with large rear sprokets was the thing to do ..with large sprokets your chain does not have to flex as much to follow around the sproket making less friction and heat

I read an article that said the EPA said the camshaft gear teeth were too noisy on evolution big twin engine ..that is impossible..if you can hear gear teeth making any type of noise they are grinding together in a wipping effect that will wipe out the teeth in no time of maybe a weeks useage as the gear teeth will super heat when they are misaligned..gears have to roll off their center crowns and reengage the same way so the engagement does not slide together between the camshaft gear teeth and the crankshaft gear teeth. They will roll off of each other making no audible sound at all....there is a lot of evo engines with over 100,000 miles on the engines..this fact says the EPA is lying saying the evo cam gears made too much noise ..now days there are aftermarket engine builders like Ultima who build evo style engines that are very large displacement ..put one of these engines in an FX setup with dialed in Ohlins suspention front and rear and give it an unbiased cycle world complete test !

Are rally rules same as Baja 1000. Is it all out race or slowed down?

Awesome video and huge respect!!! I spent 8 years by the border there, took a Tiger 800xcx, KLX250 and CRF450X thru some of those sections closer to Rosarito just to see for myself. The 25hp KLX was the best no lie! Could ride all day without fatigue. The Tiger was sooooo damn physically tiring just to ride for 2 hours, and the 450X was mentally tiring cuz it beckoned u to ride faster/sharper. Most people dont understand that these heavy, high HP ADV bikes aint offroad bikes!

HD has been marketing to boomers who fantasize about being a 1%er, ... for the last 35 years

Kevin Cameron's tech knowledge has always been awesome. I've read Kevin's writing since the 1980s and apart from the knowledge he has acquired through his hands-on work and inhabiting the same space as other top tuners, what is special is his ability to communicate that sometimes arcane knowledge in an incredibly accessible way, to those of us who risk desiccation by trying to read dry texts or a brain hemorrhage trying to decipher mathematical expressions. What is becoming more apparent as this wonderful pod-cast series develops is Kevin's sense of humor and personality. This really is icing on the cake. The disembodied voice inside my head when I read his words back as much younger man, are now being fleshed out into less imagined and more human form. The internet for all it's foibles, sometimes actually enhances life, and broadening the communication band-width of a great communicator is a life enhancement.
