Great video. Am thinking of doing a similar trip on my Norden 901 but am somewhat worried about the weight in the deep soft sand. I think I might do some test runs in Little Desert and Big Desert first and take it from there. Enjoyed your video and subscribed.
@Phl_b4 күн бұрын
@Dids_901 Thanks very much. The 901 is an awesome machine, I just rode one through the Flinders Rangers in April. If you can handle the deep sand in Little Desert, you can handle the sand in the Simpson. Do it! 👌

Bloody fantastic vid, very enjoyable.

@@Phl_b Weight is your enemy in sand. The Simpson is becoming a traffic jam and I will never regret downgrading from a KLR to a Postie. Its rare that you can do much more than 80kph on dirt anyway. I can carry fuel for the whole crossing. Our club did a trans trek and the only breakdown was the Jeep that came with us for support.

Probably , but maybe have a chat to KTM first to make sure their Warranty agreement is up to date , because they tend to blame dusty air-cleaners for those camshaft metal fatigue problem.
@Phl_b11 күн бұрын
As the Admin of the Aus KTM790/890/901 forum, I have never heard of KTM not taking responsibility for this issue. There was initially a bit of a wait on parts, but I think they have thiss issue well under control now mate. And might I add, the problem is nowhere near as common as you might think, due to all the noise you hear about it on socials. My bikes have all been bullet proof and my DLR's have always gone over and avove with everyone I know ;-)

The terrain you call hard, is bread and butter where I grew up and learned to ride. You need to go through it faster. You glide over things instead of fumbling and stalling. You can tell the riders that have never owned a big bore kick start bike before. You will die before you lay that big rig down.
