Thank you for subscribing! Good luck on the hunt for a DR650. They are great bikes!

@LPSrcbiker definitely take that 300 on some trails! It is such a good time. I'm mostly into motocross but trail riding is just as good if not better at times. Something about being in the woods ripping a dirtbike weaving around obstacles is so much fun. I agree why honda stopped making the 400 is beyond me. Could you imagine a fuel injected, aircooled 400cc trail bike like there modern CRF250F? I'd buy one for sure! That KLR300 seems like an amazing bike tho too! Probably the closest modern bike to a XR400 you can get. I have a video of these exact trails during the fall time. If you can definitely hit some trails when the leaves are changing colors. It was beautiful and probably my favorite trail ride session I've had kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp_Tmp-mnJZpi9Esi=8y8yZoQnLHq1dyOq

@LPSrcbiker thank you! And yes if you are doing alot of backroading the DR650 is such a good bike for it. Being able to throw someone on the back and have a good time is really fun as well. I would highly recommend it to anyone 🙏

Lastly, what format do the clips record in?

@nosc0 you need a fire wire cable. It plugs into the hvr and into the VX. Both of them have a fire wire port. It's powered by a Sony NPF L battery. I use a NPF970L style in both the camera and the HVR. It takes CF Express cards. 32gig 120mb read/write speed. It records the video in DV RAW or .AVI file types. I actually have to convert the file format into something else because Davinci Resolve doesn't support either formats. Only issue I have is if my battery isn't 100% charged, it gives me a format error on startup. Once I charge the battery to 100% it works fine I can turn it on and off and it works. For some reason tho after not using it for awhile I have to charge the battery to 100% for it not to give me that format error.

@nosc0 check this video out it does a good job showing how it works. kzbin.info/www/bejne/an3Ufmuwlsummrssi=edIkDaC3kTkRG3DI If you got any other questions I'll do my best to answer them

@@AUSTIN_457Okay perfect I already have the firewire cable. How do you convert the clips though?

what are the pros vs cons you would say for this?

@AUSTIN_457 Keen to hear more, so I subscribed. 🫡

@KHANAGE1311 thank you so much! If ya haven't seen any of my other videos I've done with the XR400 check out this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLBZ4L_G43W-4AYItPJEPuA7FJM0a6AE84&si=NFwgcvkhhP0m3d6o Mix of trail riding and road riding vids

@VinnyV593 yeah Ogemaw is about 45 minutes north of the Galdwin ORV trailhead. I'm jealous man being that close to the track is siiiiick 🤙

@ fricken Aye that’s absolutely amazing. Had no idea it even existed. Do they hold race nights or is this just like a practice track?

@VinnyV593 it's mostly just a practice track. They offer camping, which is what my buddies and I do usually. They do host hare scrambles and sprint enduro every year. If you look it up on youtube, you'll find videos. This video is our camping setup that we had earlier this year, with all the guys kzbin.info/www/bejne/il6TlnuQZqyMqdksi=sqIB4mKmjs1OGX-8

@Dirt_Serpent i really wish the owner wanted to put money into this to get it going again. A 200cc 2 stroke sounds like the perfect power plant to me. What did you like about yours? Glad to hear you are getting it back! Thanks for watching!

@ it really was the perfect all around bike, for me it was like I could ride anywhere with it, light like a 125 but powerful and torqey like a 250. I think the only downside was the amount of vibration, but that was something you are going to experience on any older 2 stroke bike

@joemate418 thank you! Its cold and shitty here in Michigan right now so I might not be doing much riding until next year. If ya haven't watched any of my other videos on the xr400 check out this playlist 🤙 kzbin.info/aero/PLBZ4L_G43W-4AYItPJEPuA7FJM0a6AE84&si=NFkOJ_UgsXW1gOkl

@johndevito4237 that's awesome to hear! Exploring the U.P with my wife is something we plan on doing next year. I will definitely look into the lowered passenger foot pegs. I did not know that was a thing but I could see it benefiting her for longer trips. Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your story. Hope you and your wife have many more fun and safe travels 🤙

What to do to make the seat comfortable for both?

@gsabella4 well the XR600 had a very hard life and wasn't taken care of when I bought it. Usually smoking on startup is a leaky valve seal. Valve seals are cheap to replace and the job isn't that bad honestly. The valve guide itself usually doesn't fail. It would be worth checking it out tho.

@papafrita96 no problem hope you enjoy the new (old) camera 🤙

@garywinkworth3380 i have a nice 2001 CR80 that she rides every once in awhile. Used to have a CRF125FB and she liked the CR80 better so I sold that one. She definitely prefers to be a passenger princess on the DR650 tho lol. Thanks for watching 🙏

@samhansen1298 dudes always bricked up man like he's tryna build a fortress or sumtin

@m.s.aviation7065 thank you so much! In the future I'll be making way better edits with the VX2000 and my FX30. This day I didn't record enough so I struggled to find enough good clips to last the length of the song lol. Appreciate the kind words and thank you for watching 🙏

@St1llor I will say going from small wheel to big wheel was a huuuuge improvement in comfort. Being higher off the ground gives your legs more room in instances like corners where you stick your leg out. However at the end of the day, it's still a 80. They are not made for 6'3 guys haha. If this is your only bike i would 100% recommend a full sized bike instead. My CR80 is my "pitbike" tho. It's not my main track or trail riding bike. It's not made for guys like us, but fuck man it is such a blast to ride! A little awkward but so much fun. Long story long, if you don't have any other bikes, don't get an 80. You would be better off getting a full sized bike. Whether that's a 125, 250, or whatever. If you already have a full sized bike and just want a little 2 stroke rocket that is a blast to ride, get that 85!

Check this video out. It's me on the 80 at the mototrack. The beginning has clips of me sitting on it just to give you a size reference. You'll see me stand up and notice that my knees are way above the seat haha. Standing up is the worst part about the smaller bike. But if I can ride this bike on a motocross sand track and have fun, I'd say that's a win. It's not the most comfortable. But it's doable! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHauo6yNedxjrcksi=P19ftXKuX1xOzNir

@NOTTApro142 not sure but it was pretty heavy lol

@headlessproductions8908 I wouldnt worry about it. It's a honda it will be fine just change the oil every once in awhile lol. But yes I agree the shifts are loud. Kinda clunky.

@LooxJJ like they say, all good things come to an end. And you're right it is sad. I had a XR600 for awhile and liked it. Not as much as this 400 tho. A 650r would be pretty awesome id love to ride one.

@CaePuppy im 6'3 and she's around 5'2 maybe 5'3

@@AUSTIN_457 thanku <3

@CaePuppy no problem thank you for watching 🙏

@KJ-qr9sm 80-85mph is the fastest I've gone on it. I could probably get a bit more out of it but the motor would be redlining. I usually cruise 60mph and keep the RPMS low. I could change the gearing and get a higher top speed tho! Might do that once I need sprockets

@garagedchaos6353 hell yeah thats good to hear 🤙 I thought about putting a hot cam in this bike. Mostly do to me wanting to remove the decompression mechanism from the stock cam. I heard they like to fall apart and tbh I like using the manual decompression lever better anyways. That's how my old xr600 was. Figured if I was going to go through the trouble of taking the oem cam out and removing the decomp stuff, maybe just taking it out and slapping a stage 1 or 2 cam in there would be easier and yield me some performance. Reliability is my only concern with that

@slabz710 thanks homie! And no problem that shot of you and the yammi guy (1:38) is one of my favorites from that day 🤙

Woooooooo i r the small bore slow boi

@@WheelieWeasel haha yeah right id be happy to ride 1/4 of the speed of Jeff 😂

@@AUSTIN_457 Jeff is actually FAST ASF

@@WheelieWeasel he's nuts. Watch one of my videos at supercoop mx and then watch one of his. It's not even comparable I'm basically standing still compared to his speed 🤣

@RippinInTheMittenMX holy shit where did he crash? There was a few guys down this day. Hopefully he heals up quick 🙏

@AUSTIN_457 I'm not sure, he was on a Suzuki 250 2 stroke I believe, older guy, he was parked in the middle close to the track, black truck with red box trailer. I'm curious tho what clicker changes did u try, seen u get some nasty head shake at one point

​@RippinInTheMittenMX funny enough I dropped my forks down to get some more stability and then I got that nasty head shake lol. I messed more with my shock than my forks. Just did 2 clicks stiffer on compression on my forks. Might need to mess with my rebound a bit. Also need to re check my sag now 😂

​@@RippinInTheMittenMXI think im going to tighten up my steering tho. I usually like the tighten up my steering stem nut kinda tight and right now the ktm isn't that tight. They call it a poor man's steering stabilizer. Might test that out too lol. Hopefully I can tho if the weather turns for the worse in the next few weeks I might be screwed 😢

@@AUSTIN_457 mhm thats interesting on dropping the forks, wounder if its more of a clicker issue. I was able to reduce my headshake by going softer on compression and faster on rebound so maybe try the extremes of that, the bike was just too stiff and not moving fast enough to give me the movement I needed when it was stock. Id try to soften it up until ur closer to bottoming out on big jumps then speed up the rebound to get it moving more freely in the chatter bumps. Take the like a grain of salt of course, I'm no expert lmao 😅🤙

@ThatCRF thanks homie 🙏 I was debating on going back here this Sunday just because I had a blast. Track got hammered fast tho but there was a butt load of people. I'd recommend going tho 🤙

@PaulKind3d thank you! You're DR sounds sick! I'll have to look into the things you mentioned. That sergeant seat is definitely at the top of my list of things I want to do at the moment

@@AUSTIN_457 one other thing, double take mirrors are worth every damn penny.

@jessemaybee it's definitely easy to do on a track like this lol. I had a few close calls myself. I appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching 🙏
