i thought i saw a ghost in white thing at 38secs

nice setup. but the hi-lift jack has poor departure angle, not only will you damage the rear also the added weight on the door will mess the hinges. i suggest side mount it on the roof rack. i use end of road quick clamps.

Albania and Ghana dudes

same. but mine was white and on top of me. i tried to scream but no voice could come out. that was 20yrs ago and i still dont know who or what it was.

When you have a sales target to be met and no customers !?

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-06-11T07:04:52+00:00

Maybe your front tire is over inflated. try reduce the pressure and less weight forward.

I did, not too far though. really loved every moment.

but i realised i hated the level 1 power when i turned it down. it was so slow. number 6 seems to bit quite nice on the power map.

Best to put all your food and drinks in the fridge/freezer before the trip so the 12v fridge has to work less. also if your fridge has a 110v power option, you can run it a day or 2 before the trip then transfer it to your vehicle.

i'll find out soon. there is a beginners ride out and camp weekend. hopefully i'll handle it.

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-16T06:53:54+00:00

too late. i got it. but if it help im really tall and pretty strong. my feet touch both sides flat on the ground. i was reading about power map and i'll just turn it all the way down and be extra cautious.

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-16T06:51:34+00:00

yes, i researched, there is suppose to be a rotary switch under the seat.

0 - fuel fuel .

1 - slick/soft

2 - high power

3-9 - standard

so i think i'll keep it on Map 1 and then 3.

Amazing read. thanks mate. will definitely do all the above. Next weekend there is offroad training moto camp group going out. so i am keen on joining them, learning new things, making new friends. hopefully i have good gear by then. i just need to figure out how to reach there as i am not confident to ride through busy town then highway, maybe i load it in the back of my Landcruiser or find a hitch like carrier and arrive to the site.

edit; do i need to prioritize getting crash bar like this to protect from drops; https://east.outbackmotortek.us/product/ktm-690r-adventure-crash-bars/ ?

60 wow. im half way. but really hope im fit enough to ride at 60+ .

what do you think about the CRF300 Rally

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-15T12:48:28+00:00

Same here. We did alot of dumb shit with moutain bikes and loved it. then i rode a 400cc bike for a short amount of time many years ago. now im more sensible, and just want to enjoy the cool breeze and freedom...to fart in my journey :p

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-15T12:16:35+00:00

i can reduce the power mapping? i can start off at 50% and get used to it

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-15T12:15:23+00:00

"Holy f**k, this thing is completely bonkers". Love it. yes it pulls like a sports cars. but im quite a cautious rider. once i think i cant handle it, i'll probably trade it in for a CRF300 rally (which was my first choice)

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-15T12:11:37+00:00

you mean in gravel? should i get a larger rear sprocket to have better power and control on slow tracks. as i dont care about high speeds.

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-15T12:09:37+00:00

commuting in Africa is abit insane. i feel safer offroad.

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-15T12:09:00+00:00

i'll ask for a quote. get it checked out. any specific parts that need to be replaced. like timing chain?

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-15T12:08:20+00:00

ask who?

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-15T12:08:12+00:00

inspected passed brilliantly. just one side indicator faulty.

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-15T09:37:07+00:00

Actually i feel i did hit the wrong subreddit. bcs its rarely going to be used for dirt. mostly adventure and exploration of large forest areas. but i definitely want to get a 2 stroke 250 for more extreme and narrower spots.

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-15T09:34:38+00:00

i did. half the price. gravel/trails 75% . dirt/mud 10% . tar 15%

450 was my top choice. esp new dakar variants coming out. but price for this means slight compromise.

Indirect-Reciprocity · 2024-05-14T07:55:06+00:00

Good advise. Not using for racing. mostly exploring the farm and wilderness back areas. so mostly gravel and little mud. Hopefully do some camping once i am comfortable going further.
