Why not have a few sprockets with a different amount of teeth on them? Taller gearing for long trips, shorter gearing for the twisties. That's what I do. One tooth up on the front when going long distance. Less gas used too and not buzzing yourself to death at highway speeds.

This is literally the most versatile bike ever made. I got the maako anti vibration bar mounts for my 2020 500 6 days and the XL seat concepts seat and those helped comfort considerably. Thicker palmed dual sport gloves help with the vibration on all day rides a lot as well.

Hey guys, hope you enjoyed the video! I just want to clear up something I misspoke about. The kick start will not allow you to start the bike if the battery is 100% dead (unless you add a capacitor) as the fuel pump cannot prime. Sorry about that!
@thegan91435 күн бұрын
Kick start won't start the bike with a dead battery unless you have a capacitor added. This is because the fuel pump needs power to prime.
Subbed as well just for this video. I'll buy one -used probably- but I won't change much as my Harley Road King Custom is my primary... I just want a simple bike to ride forever on the occasional trip on dirt roads for camping in a forest or fishing deep in a national forest an hour away. I don't want problems and I'll try to handle maintenance myself. Maybe 1000 miles a year. Maybe also for riding around in the snow, which we don't get too much.
@rangeroadmoto4 күн бұрын
Sounds like a good plan! It’s a great bike to buy used, as Suzuki never changed anything so there’s not a whole lot of reason to buy brand new (in my opinion). I’m sure that bike will do everything you want it too! Just be careful in the snow, it’s tall and when it falls over in the snow or ice it’s fast and it’s a long way to fall (spoken from experience haha)

My 790R gets better fuel economy than my 500 EXC. 790R gets 40 MPG off-road and at 95 MPH, 60 MPG at 50 MPH, and averages around 50 MPG. My 500 gets as low as 30 MPG in sandy single track, but I haven’t seen better than 50 MPG on roads.

Hey guys and gals, a little update from Jordan. He just wrapped stage three with two back to back 740km days. day two he had a stator over heating problem that left him in an overnight camp in the dessert with a huge second half of stage 2 to catch up. He managed to complete stage 2. He just completed a 761km day for stage 3 and he gained a few positions back. He tells me he is very sore and very tired but his spirits seem good. Tomorrow is stage 4 there will be no rest, stage 4 is a marathon stage. You can follow his programs on the dakar sight, he is racer number 116. Link below! www.dakar.com/en/competitor/116

Could not get a Honda Trial in 2023 so got a Honda Monkey instead and really like it. But the trail has a certain appeal, but not having a clutch is not a deal breaker but would be nice to have. The old CT's had a low/high feature it would have been nice if that was carried over. Great scenery
