Do you ever flip the dsport front? I realize it is directional but on road they cup more

D606 was wornnout in 2k miles. Not sure how yoh got 4k. Lol

just got platinum on PS5 from this thank you

Hey Matt you inspired to me to get one 2011 to leave it like your bike 🏍️ ❤

I was struggling as well with my brother until I saw this thank u this helped us all💜 People who thought this helped👇

Awesome overview, this is the dream!

Good stuff man, my dream dual sport trip right there 🍻

I have 4000 on a front Dsport. Love it!!

Do you need a state issued off-road permit to do any of the BDRs?

Any chance you can share these GPX tracks?

Nice gas tank!!!

What pressure di you run at on the highway? Your front was about the best one ive seen from both these tires.

Good stuff, man. Keep it up, you're quite listenable.

I sit a lot when riding. I think it’s from when I started racing Moto Cross. I just lift my butt off the seat when obstacles appear. 😢

Thanks for the video

14:45 did anyone get three stars?

9:26 In this room, if you also bring the second red cube from the previous red tree, you can just transform a red cube in yellow and take it out by the entrance doing infinite stairs with the 2 red cubes, so you don't have to go through the long way to bring back the green/yellow cube. I discovered this by myself and actually thought it was the only way. And I'm pretty sure it's faster than the 5/6 minutes you take to bring back the green/yellow cube

Thank you for taking your time to do this. Such a clever solution!

This looks like a GREAT time!

That guy at the gate is hysterical! Lmao he had no clue what was going on. Wonder how long they been waiting there

Nvm I went to your channel

Is any of this the BDRX3 ALT Harder - Bear Mountain

Nice video. I have run a D606 front before on one of my DS rides only to experience severe front end hunting (wandering) in sand. It would follow other tire tracks and start moving all over the trail. Tried different air pressures. No change. Other experienced riders I know and trust claim the same. This seems to be caused by the chevron tread pattern. I removed it after the first ride ride and mounted a more symmetrical (don't remember what) tire with knobs going straight across the profile. Straight tracking. No more D606 for me. It also seemed narrow for a 90/90. The Tusk D-Sport front also has the same chevron tread pattern. Does it respond with the same hunting in the sand? And it is as narrow as the D606? What about the D605 compared to the D606 and Tusk? Getting geared up for the UTBDR in September and need a good front tire. Will be running the D-Sport 140/80-18 rear. They work pretty good in most situation and mileage is great. Thanks

I'm sold on the D606 due to the super stiff sidewalls. Had a pinch flat on the ftont and not aware until i checked air pressure late that day. Think i could ride out on a rear flat if i had too. Would just zip it to the wheel just in case.

What was your off road vs on road percentage?

Matt: Great video. I'm looking at purchasing a 1988 Cat Capri as well. Anything I should look for when inspecting it?

any issues w oil migration?

For the rears would you say they are comparable in weight? One carcass seem stiffer than the other?

thanks i was having so much trouble on the 4th queen one

Gr8 vid! !!! 👍

Matt, where'd ya park your truck to keep it safe?? Thanks for the post!👍

Impressive! Oregon BDR route being released in early 2023. Did IDBDR last September and will do WABDR next Aug.

Older post but hopeing you still answer... Would it be possible to get a gps file from you with this route? Thanks for any help.

Hey Matt. Great video. Your video popped up in my feed and I really enjoyed the simple format you for your video. I also use Gaia and I saw that you had Gaia as your route. I am working on a route and your big loop was a great inspiration for me. Couple of Questions 1. Curious to know if or what exactly you used for navigation? Phone or a GPS unit. 2. Also what would you say your daily average was for your costs including Hotels, Food and fuel? 3. It would be cool to see a video of all of the items that you took on the route. Tools and equipment for example. Hope you have time to respond and I look forward to more videos in the future.

I have about 1k miles on the d sport on the rear,I hope I can get 4k out of it . I got about that much out of the original 605. Still running the 605 in front at 5k , no plans to replace it yet I expect it'll go to at least 6k.

'So I can sip my vanilla latte and listen to NPR' ,,,,,,,,CLASSIC! Thanks for keeping it real.

Curious if you've ever owned a GS, since you said you wouldn't want to ride that Section on a GS? Don't get me wrong, I would avoid that Section with my current experience level, but it doesn't look THAT bad.

It helps a lot to have someone talk through these problems, so thank you! I was stuck at the zwischenzug problems

I have the same tank on my 530. Seems that the petcocks are quite a bit lower than the fuel inlet on the carb. Gas will not flow below below that level. Have you noticed that? What did you do to fix? thx

Good stuff dude!! You are riding some serious miles, good for you. Kum and Go - haha... My buddy in Wisconsin, where they have a bunch of these, said they were named by a Man, cuz if it was named by a Women, it would be Kum, and then snuggle a while !!! Hahaha I like your style

you need to get with the BDR guys to get north CA done.

On second set of D-Sports on a DRZ400. Love them. great on the street (a bit noisy and bumpy but not bad) and great on most surfaces, including sand. I have no idea about rocks or wet rocks as I live in Florida. But for the price, their wearability and great consistent performance have won me over. I run 18 psi rear, 22 up front on all surfaces (carcas seems still, could likely hold wear even with lower pressures) and get 4k miles at least with lots of dirt riding and street riding to get there. Prior, the most aggressive Ive run were pirelli scorpion pro. Very expensive, wore out quickly, very bumpy on road. Also, the traction on the D-sports are slightly less than pirelli in sand, but more consistent. Pirellis traction held on turns until they didn’t, then nothing. D-Sports hold a little less at extreme but slip gradually allowing me to recover extreme cases.

hello what is the PSI that you are riding with those tire....

I have a set of D606 on my DR650 and I have maybe put 1500 to 1800 miles on them and the rear is half worn and the front has every other center knob gone, all the other center knobs are worn from back to front even though I put it facing the correct direction, its almost like I've been riding in reverse. The front also has the belt showing already. Now I'm buying the Trailmax Mission tires to see if I'm staying with Dunlop

I'm currently running a set of D-Sport tires as well. They still have a lot of life left but even so I've kept an eye on what to get next. I'd like to try something different just to get some variety but when I consider the cost and performance of the D-Sport versus the other options on the market, I keep coming back the D-Sport. Rockymountain certainly did a good job with this tire.

The problem with motels for this country-boy, is that they're in CITIES with PEOPLE. The forest is where I NEED to spend the night! I totally agree with your ride-times per day, the mornings and the evenings at camp are some of the best parts of any big ride for me.

Impressive ride, Matt! Sounds like you got your money's worth outta that 530, and you totally deserve that new 5-hundy! Maybe we'll cross paths in Oregon this year. I'll be on my 1090, moving FAST!

Greetings! It was a nice bonus for this to come up on my homepage. I am Apple Jam on ADV Rider, the creator of this Cascade Discovery Route you have been looking at. Your research was spot on! There's been no way through the Detroit Lake area since those two big fires. Ollalie Lakes (The series of lakes NE of Detroit) mark the edge of both the Mt Jefferson Wilderness and the (rather large) Warm Springs Indian Reservation which is closed to all non-natives. That means there is no practical way to re-route around it all right now at all. The Routes South from Detroit to Diamond Lake has been ridden and is open. The sections North of Ollalie Lakes is also open, not counting trail obstacles we haven't cleared this year yet. There are usually many obstacles at the beginning of each year, as these are the Good Bad Roads that are less travelled by even the 4-wheeler crowd. I really hope to ride the accessible portions this year, and yes, I'll need to bring a big handsaw with me. I do not expect that section to be open all this year either, according to the Forest Service. We attempted to have a CDR clearing campout North of Olallie Lakes two weeks ago, but the snow is still way too deep there now, so we will reschedule that in July sometime, as my June is FULL of lotsa Moto-Rallies now until then. If I remember to do it, I'll re-comment here with an update then. If I forget (like us old guys do sometimes), please post up the big question on the ADV Rider thread. I monitor that thread, and will update you.
