Great video John. When ever I go off pavement I switch to rain mode. The Ibex throtle is so much better there than on sport mode. I can really enjoy riding without the radical fueling.

33:25 Shouldn't you apply some LOCTITE on these screws before putting them back in? Also, I thought it would be better to use a torque wrench, no? Apart from that, hugely helpful video! I subscribed!

The cam wear is similar to the ktm one, there are some marks on them
@GoldOreOunceКүн бұрын
This KTM camshaft issue was a reason why I never considered a KTM... However I bought a cf moto 450mt two days ago and I know they do things with KTM and I was hoping that these issues are child problems and they do not carry to cf moto newer models, hopefully it is truly so.

I like how back road riding inspires more hobbies. I live in south GA and ride around on a bunch of plantation roads nestled between oak trees, saw palmettos, tributary creeks and your occasional renewable pine forests. I bought a canon t7 to take pictures. I want a camera for my helmet and a 360 camera. I occasionally work in Jonesboro AR and have friends in Batesville. I can't wait to bring my KLX with me next time. Keep up the fun.

If you would have crossed where the low water crossing was gone on 104 the next crossing is completely gone and unpassable. It has been washed out for a long time but it is a very scenic crossing if you get to it.

I liked your detailed review of the bike, and 5000 miles is definitely enough time to find any show-stoppers. I did have a question. How is it compared to other bikes at highway speeds?
@ozarksbackroads54847 күн бұрын
Good to hear from you sir... The Ibex travels very nicely down the highway. It has good wind protection, the riding ergos are spot on, the seat is very comfortable for me all day long. The engine turns around 4200 rpm at actual 65mph and is very relaxed. The bike handles very well when loaded down with a lot of gear..not much to complain about other than some engine heat on my left leg. I think it is a very good long distance tourer for sure... thanks for watching... :)

The one tire brand I will never buy again is Mitas. Too expensive, too difficult to mount/dismount. The Tusk D-sport works just fine! I had to cut off my last mitas when changing out for my 690. A new one was $200 but the D-sports were $180 for a front, rear, and both tubes. It was a no brainer! The Mitas lasted 1800 miles, the D-sports lasted 3000 miles.
