After all the upgrades and what not would you say it's almost comparible to a beta 300rr? Price wise I'd think they would be pretty similar after all said and done

How have you liked it? I have a Lectron and was going to buy a smart carb because the Lectron just isn’t running like it’s supposed to and there tech can’t seem to help

You still might have to change the chain length with 13-49, as you are 2 teeth shy of stock. The ration is closer to 3 teeth in the rear than 2.5. I am just going to add 2 teeth in the rear, and keep the 14 tooth sprocket because more teeth is easier on the chain I believe, (one more tooth sharing the load). People who are really picky about their suspension/geometry can get picky about the axle placement. But I don't think that trumps gear choices.

Oof, I’m hurt! I love the styling of the first and 2nd gen! 😂

How much hp and torque added with expansion chambers...I know the stock engine has 44 bhp?

That is a sweet bike!

OK these look super bad ass. I hope you get something like this on my truck before winter.

Enjoyed you build! Im sure I know why I but the newest bikes I can find. Subbed your channel . Looking forward to some more build it ride it. Around Bend Oregon on 2 wheels

Awesome build! As I get older, I'm looking at lighter and lighter bikes to ride the BDR'S! Very interested in your setup but with a 690/701! I have a 23 500 6-days but I'd like to keep that as a trails only bike with minimalistic approach! Only advice I'd like to give is to NEVER mount your 500 with the kick stand down or use it as a pivot point! Your stand will definitely snap off! Great video though!

Is it bad that my 125 sound like this bike 😭

The frequent oil changes would be too annoying for me.

How does the DRZ do on the AZ highways? I live around Cottonwood and want something that I can get out and explore but need to put down a good amount of miles of interstate to get out there. I am really looking for a lighter do it all bike that I can also bring in a toy hauler without adding too much weight, that is the only thing really holding me back from a DR650 lol.

It says tubliss but there's a tube inside 😂 ? That's not tubeless on my mtb zero tube just sealent now that's tubeless

Which slime product is that? I have some of the emergency flat tire sealant. It's got little chunks of stuff in it. I am thinking the regular slime for bikes will be better. Oh I see the blue label. After a little research, I think all the slime has little dark chunks in it

No special tools needed. Then proceeds to bust out expensive special tools, lol. Btw, thats a good looking yz

Awesome, man, you nailed it. While you're riding, I was enjoying the views..

Looks nice, going to get this for my Maverick.

You've sold me on the Morimoto's. My 2011 Tundra's headlamps got pretty glazed. I've used a kit on them twice to make them clear again, but they honestly look pretty shit. My truck's also lifted like your's and I often get people flashing me because my old OEM reflector housings are dazzling oncoming driver's with the LED's in them. I really need better night time lighting, living in Canada with our long winters and short days. I'd also like to not be a dick and blind oncoming drivers. These Morimoto's seem like a worthwhile investment. Cheers! 🍻

One beautiful bike 👌

What brand plasty dip did you use on the rims

Out of all the videos I seen you did the best job doing your rims in the Plasty dip looks great and the thing about that stuff it protect your rims. Then when you have to do them again I thinking 2 years from what I seen you have fresh new rims every two years 👍👍👍👍👍👍

What luggage rack is that you are running on the back fender, look like what I need.

Great video. the Ktm500 has officially become a top notch race bike in the last couple years. I believe it’s won the “FINK” like four years in a row. It’s an Australian desert race with just miles of straight away whoops and some huge jumps, couple turns here and there.

Which handguards are you running?

Nice race. I've ridden out in that area on the same bike and I keep mine about as tight as possible. I know what you mean lol.

Beautiful

What level and size tires are you running. Wheels and offset? It looks great

Thise other vehicles have beds but they arent trucks. And it isnt even close ugly.

I knew a guy I went to highshool with that had one,, in Omaha. I suppose there was moe than one in town. I got to ride it a few blocks, and it wasa little scary! Enjoy!

Hey Dude, great bike. Just wondering what rack that was you installed?

Is eyewear recommended and anything else for the dust? thanks!

I'm having a hard time finding info on whether the freeride has a counterbalanced engine or not.

Genuine question here but how often do you need to check the valves on these bikes? Everything i look into seems to be between the 15-30 hour mark. That's the only thing making me consider compromising and getting a crf300L but man how much id prefer to be riding something like this aha

You should definitely use wd40 instead of that armorall

Can you tell us what gearing your running? Mine vibrates too much at 70mph.

These bikes had a deadly reputation for a reason. For the experienced rider no problem. But because they were cheap ,but for many first time riders it was deadly.

In 1979 I bought a Daytona special from Ricky Orlando at the Yamaha shop in Boulder. Two weeks before he won the US stock 400 nationals on the same bike. I loved it. I am looking for another now, just found one in my neighborhood in Washingtin State and I’m going to look at it.

Beautiful!

Dope bike perfect size weight power and capability. What kills it for me is the maintenance schedule.... Changing oil ever 500 miles and having to inspect valves ever 1000 miles does not work out for a long range adventure bike. Otherwise unicornnmnm

It's perfect!!!! I'll take it

@mateuszstrzelczyk5408 - proponuje ci odrazu szukać zestawu od ktm exc 300 - cylinder, tłok oraz boczny dekiel wraz z zaworem wydechowym. Taki zestaw plus wydech scalvini oraz duży filtr powietrza nawet na oryginalnym gazniku robi supero robote i jest warte kazdych pięniędzy :) Powodzenia !

@SourceADV that's very well documented, thanks for sharing. I am interested in the tower myself for a 350 EXC-F and am wondering how the weight on the front feels while riding off-road?

Nice 👍🏻

Rd400 daytona

Pretty cool build ! The bike looks great, do give updates when you get some miles on the equipment and have fun !

Great bike BUT you absolutely need to stay on the trail. Deviating from the trail causes damage to the ground which provides ammo to all those who want to stop us from enjoying trail riding.

What do you use to protect them from getting faded out

Great bike! I'm starting my 500 EXC ADV build shortly and noticed you've got the 690/701 indicator/light/horn switch on there, is this plug and play or did you have to cut into the loom to make this compatible?

Good video bro, We'd love to collaborate with you on a product review. How can we connect with you?
