Best Dirtbike Mods - from $1 to $500! [Free, and Expensive AF!]

[@double-oseven5725]

Nice work and yes to Clake!! I have a 22 FE501 and the best mods I made were a tool steel strip leading from case guard to linkage low point for seamless log transition. 2 is a full cross country tool kit mounted in the big gap on top of gearbox. Kit goes inside a big truck radiator hose cut, riveted and folded to fit perfectly...low centre of gravity n no tools on my body. Come ride southern QLD mate. Cheers

[@joeybuckingham7006]

Team Clake! Best upgrade there is, made from solid billet and all parts are replaceable unlike the stock set up. And yes they are expensive but once you brake 1 of the stock set ups and have to replace the entire thing because of the cast aluminum they use that’s fragile AF. You are worlds ahead having the Clake!

Thanks for sharing. It's always cool to see what other TPI riders have done to their bike. I have just one of those Baja Designs S2 Pro lights on my chainsaw mount and it's super bright!

That thing is dialled. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Just when I thought I had everything I needed, now I see a few more things to add to my list.

[@eamh2002]

Kickstart 😏

[@frooke2]

Good tips thanks. IMO phone belongs in backpack or jacket pocket when riding. I don't need that distraction when riding. I look at my phone enough, when I ride I want to escape.

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

Just for GPS/maps, not for tiktok ya know. 😉

[@mdsnrr]

All are great tips but I especially liked the Molle Admin Pouch. I got one too after seeing this video and it's perfect in terms of size, function, and price. I also made my own front tugger strap but I sewed mine with outdoor upholstery thread. Is your rear strap also home made? Either way, how is it attached? I made my own for previous bikes and just ran the side seat bolts through them to secure them to the bike. That isn't possible now with my 2023 TE150i so it would be nice to know how yours is mounted so that I can do the same for my bike. Great channel; thanks!

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

My rear tugger was a ktm powerparts version. It came with bolts to replace under the fender.

[@mdsnrr]

@@WASemiHardEnduro Thanks. I think I may try to make one if I some bolt collars I have will work but otherwise I will just get that KTM version.

[@mdsnrr]

@@WASemiHardEnduro Unfortunately, KTM/Husky don't have a rear tugger for the TE150, just a front only. 🙁

[@aaronnortje3474]

Just say I’m a weaker,smaller and lighter rider and when turning, pivoting and wheelieing tubliss in the front is massively helpful coz it sm lighter

[@1firejosh]

Would you consider a review and explanation of the John Ross tune? Very interested and can't seem to find much other than his own web info. Thanks, keep the good content coming!

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

It’s worth giving him a call. It’s a reflash similar to other options out there - he optimizes fuel and ignition maps, and recommends using the stock head but with a slightly thinner base gasket. He emphasizes smoothness and usability of the power. I wish I had done it on day-1.

[@onthethrottle7104]

Does that license plate holder get in your way when hard enduro on gnarly hills? I tend to ride off the rear of my bike, lots of pivot maneuvers, etc. and feel like that would get caught in my crotch. I have one that I ordered but I just keep thinking it will get caught up on my inner legs. Your bike looks great. Put a plastic Accarbis front disk guard, it will save your disk one day. I hit mine and bent it good, ruined my ride that day. As for clutch, I would love to check out that system you have. I went with a 9MM clutch and ARC levers, it's amazing and easy one finger pull all day long. I like your set up though. Your vids are really good, love watching those woodsy rainy trail rides. I'm in the high mountains, lots of cliffs and exposure, rocks, washout type trails. Anyway, great bike set up, very functional and the bike sounds awesome in your vids. Take care.

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

Plate holder hasn’t bothered me yet - I do slide off the back and do pivots often, never been an issue. 👍

[@rorycarn1549]

hey mate, have you changed the stock gearing on this yet?

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

Nope, stock worked best for me.

[@stevenllewellyn8906]

Seems like you can’t get Michelin Xtreme enduro tires anywhere for years. When you can they’re over $200. Where are you getting them from, I’d like to try some. I normally run a 140 kenda Gnarly rear with goldentyre fatty in the front with tubliss in both. Lots of rocks and roots in PA

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

A shipment just came in to the us. Parts unlimited has them now. Seems like all the race teams buy them up by the truckload at the beginning of each season, and the rest of us have to wait for the next production run. So far I like it a lot, but even at $180 it’s pretty spendy. If IRC ever releases the JX8 in a 120 that they keep teasing, I’ll try that.

[@stevenllewellyn8906]

@@WASemiHardEnduro agreed. My buddies run the jx8 and I would as will but that 110 is a put off to my IMO. Good tires though

[@stevenllewellyn8906]

@@WASemiHardEnduro just ordered two on Revzilla. Thanks man! Looks like it’s all close out on every website. Guessing because they came out with that new gummy.

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

@@stevenllewellyn8906 The JX8 measures a true 128mm wide, so you can ignore the number stamped on the sidewall. It performs better than pretty much anything else in its price range. But a wider version would still be sweet.

[@ewjiblits]

What gearing are you running on that TX? Thanks!

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

Stock gearing.

[@Greg_383]

How many hours do you have? Im at about 265. I have had the John ross tune for the last 120 hours. Its been great.

Can you do video on downloading Gia maps on old phone?

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

All you have to do is log in to Gaia from any device and all your maps and routes will sync to it. I just make sure my old phone connects to wifi and syncs before my rides.

[@seamarsh3756]

sweet, just bought an "admin pouch"😂

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

So cheap and so useful! 👍

[@PNWSingleTrack]

For the clutch lever, do you need a longer clutch line, and adaptor?

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

Nope, it’s a direct bolt on replacement for the stock master cylinder.

[@willwise2168]

Where do you get those heated grips from? I didn't see a link?

@@WASemiHardEnduro thx mate, but 14,5 psi = 1 bar 2,0 psi = 0,137895 bar I am running about 0,8 bar = 11,6 psi for MX or Enduro

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

@@user-ec8cz7ws8n 11psi would be way too high for the kind of riding I do. Lower pressure = more traction for hard enduro. But you really need Tubliss to go that low. With Tubliss you can run ZERO pressure, which I will occasionally do.
