I am so grateful you posted this video. Obvious you were new to riding, but all new riders experience the same thing as you here in this video. Too many new riders watch the pros, riding wheelies, roosting off of sharp turns, and new riders don't realize how much skill that takes, and slow trial ride can be a challenge. I have been riding for a few years, so I have some experience, but my son, who is 29, just bought a KLX 140 rf, and this video is exactly what he needs. My hat is off to you, and you have my appreciation and thanks.
I fell into the idea of riding a dirt bike , considering wr250 or klx140 as a first bike. so I asked ALL my friends to join the idea and grab used bikes for 3-4k and have fun almost for free. NO one responded. I'm not judging them, just making an example and I believe I''ll end up riding with myself too haha btw I ride e-scooter (a beast one) with myself too. and music hah
Hi Aklipi. When u said... "I really hope i can get back down in one peice", i was thinking the same. Thats not a beginners trail! Or a trail if your at the level of riding the clutch that much. While you will learn, youlle make slower progress on that trail. Try to find a trail thats way easier, (even a forest road) til you get the feel of the bike more. You will learn MUCH faster, while (slowly) working your way up to trails like this and beyond. And PLEASE ride with others, or at least let someone know where youre going and when youll be back. I left a few more tips on your earlier video. You did really well by the way 👍. But youlle have so much more fun on easier and less steep trails, and it wont scare you so much. (Nor damage your bike and clutch). Keep it fun man... youlle get there. Again just suggestions ...you do you 😎👍
Keep riding and practicing.. you will one day fly up this road with ease. I can feel your nervousness. Reminds me of when I started riding. Have fun and be careful..
Working your way through. Looks good. Someone else added the key. This trail is pretty complicated to go it alone. Always best to ride with a partner if you can
Really felt bad for the clutch Lol! But keep practicing and it will come to you. Definitely need to work on your clutch skills. Revs are way too high to get yourself moving and for how long you are slipping it. The faster you can get it out at the lowest rpms without stalling will make for less wear. You should be able to practically idle it out on level ground. Practice on level ground to learn where the exact engagement point starts and where full engagement is.
Hi Delekoy, It is the Trail Tech Valor which can be purchased at Amazon: Trail Tech 752-117 Vapor Speedometer/Tachometer/Temperature Kit a.co/d/bDnysb1
LOL its suppose to be fun not terrifying 😅. All the new riders experience same thing except they usually are teenagers & not scared. To bad most dirt bikes are 4 stroke & stall out easy & have cab problems may be an easyer trail or just keep going out and your confidence level will rise.
It sure will! I weigh 200 lbs and this bike has no problem pulling me. However this is my first bike, and it didn’t take long for it to start feeling underpowered. I would recommend getting a KLX 230 or similar for your first bike
I use the this carrier: www.harborfreight.com/400-lb-receiver-mount-aluminum-motorcycle-carrier-62837.html?campaignid=17890472041&adsetid=140972231433&product=62837&store=392&gclid=CjwKCAiA68ebBhB-EiwALVC-Nm3a1V-IsQYJJtBWd9QjwdoZYUSqil-gDbbMmt0q1QmWEX33NBYo-BoCxEYQAvD_BwE My bike is about 250lbs and it's very sturdy when properly secured.
we can tell you dont have much seat time, watch some enduro tips videos and learn the basics, the basics go along way! static balance, clutch control is huge, and haveing some mates to ride with will help, they can give you tips and help you. if you dont have any riding friends join facebook groups in your area or even ride around the parking area at the trail and chat with some others and ask to join. over all you didnt do that bad. didnt even loop it!
@@aklipi question is, did it take the abuse? I had an old pitbike I learned to ride on and I did shit like that to it all the time and it never once let me down
Skip the clutch all day why have a bike if you can’t have fun with it. It helps with traction and so what you’ll need to get replace is 6 months earlier
The clutch 😭😭
Hell yeah man, thanks for actually posting honest beginner footage, as a beginner I can tell you it’s very helpful
You got it brother! Thanks for the positive comment!!
@@aklipi np, keep it up man 🤙

Thank you so much for the support and the kind words! I really appreciate it! Your son will love this bike! It is the perfect starter bike
A tip for you is ride with someone . Dont go alone

Everyone starts somewhere keep on riding and you will be able to ride all day
Thank you!

Thanks a lot bro, I appreciate the encouragement!
Awesome fun trail but at the beginning you were burning up your clutch a lot try and let it out fast and not waste as much time slipping it !!
Thats f all for enduro riding. slip the clutch helps with traction
Worst advice ever ahahahahaha
Working your way through. Looks good. Someone else added the key. This trail is pretty complicated to go it alone. Always best to ride with a partner if you can
Very Nice Thank U
Where are you riding … can I help you if you riding alone !!! It’s dangerous my friend!!! And never give up !!! U are doing great !!!
Thank you so much! I live in western Washington and mostly ride in the local off road areas

May be a bigger backwheel's ring could help save the clutch?
Sir where did you bought your speedo/rpm reader and how much? I also have a KLX140rf in the Philippines. Thank you.

May I ask how heavy you are? I weight about 185lb and wondering this will pull me around. Maybe not too fast but until I get my skill up
It sure will! I weigh 200 lbs and this bike has no problem pulling me. However this is my first bike, and it didn’t take long for it to start feeling underpowered. I would recommend getting a KLX 230 or similar for your first bike
What's is the hitch carrier you use and the tongue weight on the SUV?

Nice place. Where you riding at ?

Thank you very much for the feedback and the kind words! I’m a bit of a introvert and don’t want to slow down more experienced riders.
Clutch is boiling lol
Hehe my early days…. Mistakes were definitely made!
@@aklipi question is, did it take the abuse? I had an old pitbike I learned to ride on and I did shit like that to it all the time and it never once let me down
@@Zoom-ui2pf It took everything I threw at it like a champ! This is a really good bike
Do not quit your day job.
Haha

What ever you do dont go street riding that is scary.
Haha lol
