[@Sckprod]

Inspiring video.. I'm sold on this Bike

[@clarkrupp]

Just don't expect too much when it come to aggressive or tight off road !

[@JIMHusky]

Good as always :) In the second round you had the line to guide you :)

[@clarkrupp]

Its funny, this is an awesome area and I never see anybody out here ! It took me quite a while to A) find these trails and B) figure out how to connect them.

[@kengray1708]

I just saw your website link. Are you still offering tours?

[@cliff1551]

Hey mate 3 minutes 20 seconds in didn't you see the bear on the right there 👀👀👀👀👀👀😮

[@nesbokaj1]

Great video...keep up the good work and let the videos come 👍👊🔥...still satisfied with the 701?

[@clarkrupp]

Arne Jakobsen - had a blast up in Stonyford and rode with 9 buddies..... able to keep up ! Yup.... lovin' it ! (Did u notice the Stonyford video ?)

[@moneyontrees6]

That was the most awesome post of off road 701 riding capability! Love the exhale in the end ! Looking to buy the bike but was wondering how good off road. I'm sold, obviously set up, springs for your weight, gearing and a slip on pipe. Thank you for the post. Mike Thompson

Very nice run! Beautiful forrest. Where is that?

[@clarkrupp]

Sierra foothills - Northern California

[@clarkrupp]

I'm in the Sierra Foothills in Northern California. Nearest "big" town is Sonora - you can look it up on googlemaps or whatever....... The satellite image would give you a pretty good perspective.

[@xavibta78]

Didn't you turn off the abs?

[@clarkrupp]

Might have been after this video was done. Always rode with the front on but rear is a death trap if ABS is on. Miss that bike at times !

[@strawberryshirt87]

Where is this trail?

[@Modelpilot]

Damn.......... now i want one 🤨

[@istra70]

What is your weight and is this stock suspension ???

[@clarkrupp]

Stock suspension but went with 3/4" -maybe 1" drop with new linkage on the rear - huge difference ! Sag was way to stiff - like 1 1/2" of sag instead of 3". I'm 6' 2" @ 210lbs and the bike was too tall and firm for me.

[@istra70]

@@clarkrupp Thanks a lot. I am the same weight as you with gear and 6'4" so your advice will help. Thanks again....

[@Ddognz11]

Why do you pull the clutch in on downhill.why not use engine braking?

[@clarkrupp]

I don't know ! I rode KX500's for 25 years and engine braking isn't in the KX dictionary. .... Either our of habit or thinking I"d stall it if I locked up the rear brake. Neither the 701 or the 501 have what I'd consider much engine braking - tends to just rev the motor - in other words, gravity seems to push the motor more than the motor holding things back. I'll have to think about it on my next downhill !
