Discovering Remote Ozark's Places on my 2024 CFMOTO IBEX 800T

In this video I take my 2024 CFMOTO IBEX 800T for a weekend outing to some remote Springs and River accesses in the South Eastern Missouri Ozarks...

Thanks for watching again sir... :)

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

I sure hope that I get to explore areas as beautiful as what you have in your parts of the woods.

[@rodneybutler7939]

Also nice to see you riding the big bike, CAREFUL !!! were old !!!

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Great to hear from you sir, yes sometimes I do feel like I am getting to old for this crap but I get over it.... thanks for watching.. :)

Great video! Watching your rides so I know where to ride when u get a chance to gooo!

Thanks for watching sir.. :)

Beautiful scenery, John. Ultra wide is on the edge of fish bowl effect it seems. Be traveling across u.s. hwy 60 this coming Thursday. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Hey Hank, yes sir it's pretty wide.. can almost see both sides of the front wheel... :)

[@JT-tp2kq]

Cicadas are bonkers here in NC as well. This is due to 2 broods coming out simultaneously this year (as opposed to the typical single brood). This hasn't happened since the late 1700s I believe. Really enjoy the vids! Lucky to have such great riding country. I'm in the coastal plains of NC, so not the fun part, but not too terribly far away.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Great to hear from you sir, yes you are very close to the good stuff there. I will be over that way this summer for a week or so of riding myself... thanks for watching... :)

[@propdoctor21564]

Another excellent video as always... I completely agree with you about the best roads have grass growing in the middle. 👍👍 We certainly have had our share of rain this spring which has produced a bumper crop of poison ivy and flies. 😱 What I do find interesting is so many places have lots of cicadas already but here at home just north of Springfield in Fair Grove I have not seen or heard any yet which I find odd.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Hey there Doc.. good to hear from you again.. I have a daughter who lives up there in Fair Grove... small world... I recon all your cicadas may have drowned... thanks for watching... :)

[@propdoctor21564]

@@ozarksbackroads5484 interesting about your daughter living here too. 👍

[@christopherdean2893]

The cicada's are so loud that the sound is defining here in central Illinois.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir, yes there are places here that are that way also... I will be glad when they are gone... thanks for watching... :)

[@user-cv9my1jq2r]

Another good job well done on the video. I need to slide over that way with one of my bikes. Prob the 300L. Still on the fence if I’ll sell the RE himi. Looked at the ibex in Springfield Mo. sure looks like a lot of bike for the money.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir, yes the Ibex is a lot of bike for the money. The only thing that I think you might be concerned about with it is the fuel mapping. It has a fair amount of lean surging at lower rpm's. For me the bike is so comfortable and fun to ride I can look past the surging... I really enjoy mine... good luck with your search and thanks for watching... :)

[@UncleWally3]

Beautiful presentation! Be it turtles, armadillos, kangaroos or deer, when riding backroads I listen to the locals. So, what’s the critter-hitter situation in that neck of the woods?

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir, here in the Ozarks deer are the number one hazard for sure. most other things are fairly minor in comparison. Thanks for watching... :)

[@joeygullickll8655]

I’ve got an ibex because of you thank you sir. Watch the red thing looks like on your chain and also how often do you adjust? Thanks.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir, I have a chain guide on my Ibex... I just ordered one for a KTM 790 Adventure.. it fit perfectly.. I check my chain slack every time before I ride my bikes... if I think it is too loose I adjust it. Once the new chain has run for a bit they usually don't require adjusting very often... thank for watching ... :)

[@furnacemountainrides]

John I’m thinking about getting the CF 450mt

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

I also have that bike on my radar. I doubt we see it here in the USA this year though but I would very much like to gave a look at one... thanks for watching... :)

[@VizziMoto]

This bike is so interesting to me. Here in the States it is the 450 Ibex. Supposed to arrive this fall for us.

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

@@VizziMoto Hey there sir... good to hear from you... I hope it does make it here this year... I am interested in it also... thanks for watching... :)

[@leonfisher]

Thanks for your Ibex videos. I'm kind of confused though. A video one month ago says 2023 Ibex, this one says 2024 Ibex. Is this a new bike or the 23?

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir... sorry for the misinfo... its a 23... thanks for watching... :)

[@imranibnismail]

Hi from Malaysia, I've a question about the motor. How has it help up so far, does it suffer the cam lobe wear that the sister motor suffers (ktm 790)

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir, I have 10,000 miles on the Ibex right now and have had no issues with it so far. I will do a valve clearance check at the end of this season but I do not expect to find any issues with the camshaft. I have seen no reports of cam lobe issues with the latest 790 engine. The cam lobe issues were with the early KTM 790 engines... pre 2022.. I have not heard of any issues with the new redesigned valve train... thanks for watching... keep safe out there... :)

[@VizziMoto]

How many miles do you have on the Ibex 800T? Any issues?

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Hello there sir, Good to hear from you, I have 7500 miles on the Ibex now. The only issue I have found with it has been the dry swing arm bearings... no grease when I checked them. Other than that... no issues... thanks for watching... :)

[@alenfora1400]

How man miles so far on your ibex any big issue

[@ozarksbackroads5484]

Good to hear from you sir, I have 7800 miles on the Ibex right now. The only issue I have had with it is that I found the swing arm bearings had no grease in them when I checked them. Other than that no issues... thanks for watching... :)
