As a new rider you are right on the money with all of your recommendations,and on a another note these KLX 300 s mine being the 300R are tremendous machines
Good advice. If you can afford a 360 camera get one. They will record riders in front as well as behind you. They can even record yourself falling. Mount it on the side of your helmet and not the top so that it doesn't get slammed by tree limbs. Y'all have fun.
Nice video. I have very limited off-road experience, but am planning to pickup the KLX 300 at the end of this year and take a local class series in my area. Can't wait to get out and explore! 😁
👍🏻 great tips. I find standing up on loose gravel roads, especially around crurves, makes it feel less sketchy. Gotta squeeze with your legs though and put your weight on the outside peg.
@DerekDualSport it also gives you more control of your bike. If you dont rub the paint off your bike with your feet and legs, you're not using your legs. My bike just rolled 1000 miles. The paint is already rubbing off the frame, and the inside ankle on my boots are already worn. I tore the clip that holds the wire for the kickstand off. I learned from a motocrosser and desert racer.
@DerekDualSport I hate rocky downhill the most. It's sketchy as he'll. The guys I ride with just cruise down it like nothing. My butt stays puckered. 🤣 I can't help it.
@@PETS-4-TRUMP haha that is me too exactly. I’ve been riding with some guys who just eat that stuff up, I’m like man I don’t know If I’ll ever get used to it.
If you have a regular riding buddy, someone who rides with you often, you can split the tool load in half, and have more tools/parts on hand in case you need them, and not have to lug around 20lbs of steel. I know it’s not always possible. But it’s something to think about when you do have a buddy. Same thing with camping. I’ll have my buddy carry the grill, and I’ll carry the other cooking stuff. I do travel solo a lot. But I’ve noticed how much easier the load can be when you can help one another out.
just took the supermoto version of the klx to haspin acres in indiana today. IM AMAZED at how well a stock supermoto does off road. hit everything the homies were hitting on crf 250/300s
@@PETS-4-TRUMP beautiful as long as its not muddy or super sandy (on stock tires) my homies drz400 supermoto with fat knobbies did even better and sand/mud doesnt effect it nearly as much.
Hay bro, can you tell me exactly what kind of tool bag that is in your video, I've looked on Amazon for the bag and they only have the tool bag with the tools included can't find just the tool bag with no tools, please respond
Good things to know and try and do.

This is the exact video I needed. Just got a bike but I haven’t even ridden it yet❤️

I definitely want to add a 360 cam at some point.

That is awesome, it’s a blast!
Great tips man!
Thank you!

Thank you! Yeah good point, squeeze with the legs while standing it reduces arm fatigue too.

Definitely, I’ve been trying to get better at standing every time I go riding. I’m the worst at rocky down hill sections.

Better get Bark busters. Hard to make it back home with a broken off clutch lever!
You’re not wrong. My handguards have taken a beating 😂
Good stuff 👍
Thank you!

Oh definitely, nothing beats riding and exploring with friends.

Letssss goooo! I love to hear it, did you have street tires on?
@@DerekDualSport the stock ones yes.
@denox420 that is awesome.
That IS pretty cool?
I've wondered how the sm would do on rough terrain.

@@DerekDualSport thank you brother I appreciate ya getting back to me ☺️
Thank you for getting back to me brother I appreciate it
I found a nice tool pouch at walmart . It was less than $ 25. I then put my spare tools in it. Add some straps or you may lose a few wrenches.
