[@DerekHallman]

ANSWER: For those coming down to the comments to guess what happened - A reed petal of my VRorce4R reeds basically exploded. The bike was running weird all day but I didn't even think about reeds. I guess it had been chipping during the day until it finally just kinda fell apart right before that jump. The reeds had about 30 hours on them and I didn't realize you need to replace these things so frequently... After replacing the reeds the bike is back to running normal 👍 I'll include a picture of the destroyed reeds in my next motovlog 😭

[@suicidesausage8881]

I had the same problem on my Ktm 150 I sucked a reed and just bogs out and supposedly it’s pretty known to happen

[@andybj4091]

While it is considered normal maintenance to replace reeds, the stock KTM reeds are known to be junk. They recently switched from sourcing Vforce reeds to making them in house. Vforce reeds will last 10X longer and give you more power.

[@DerekHallman]

@@andybj4091 Re-read my post :) The reeds that were destroyed at 30 hours were VForce4R.

[@hugolundinlundin8033]

What's a reed? I'm currently on a 300 2 stroke suzuki from some time long ago so that sounds like alien tech to me lol

[@neo1629]

V force is know for there reeds to chip and brake it’s happened a couple times to me so I personally will only run boyson and I’ve never had any issues with them

[@jayeddleston9486]

That was cool of you friend getting in the mud to pick up your bike.

I guess that’s why that sign said ‘Do Not Roll Jumps’! Yikes, that was scary.

[@DerekHallman]

Haha yes exactly why. Many people have broken their wrists on that jump

[@douglassloan6831]

Bro, here's he good news -- You were tearing it UP right before it happened. Your getting fast as hell. Love the channel!

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks so much Douglas I appreciate that!

[@joshbridges9234]

So glad you were able to slow down a lot before hitting the face! Still gnarly!

[@DerekHallman]

Definitely! Could've been much worse 😬

[@jjmoto8284]

Bro Derek your getting so fast, great job but now we have all learned DO NOT roll jumps with a sign that says “do not fool jump”

[@ShiftGearsMoto]

Dude that's so scary. Thankfully the bike landed airbox side up. At least you were able to salvage the footage from the GoPro. Audio sounded great too...

[@DerekHallman]

Very scary and very glad no water got inside the bike! I'm not sure how I feel about this mic, still might try the one you use.

[@ShiftGearsMoto]

@@DerekHallman any luck figuring out what's wrong with the bike? I'm pretty happy with the current state of my audio setup.

“My balls hurt” - Derek 2021 Also you forgot to turn the gas on obviously 🙄

[@galaxyman8183]

the gas would've ran out before the 1st lap

[@DerekHallman]

balls still hurtin' 😂 did I never message you and tell you the issue?

[@That2WheeledHonda]

@@DerekHallman I don’t think so, we talked about it when it happened but I don’t think you told me what actually caused it

He’s back on the 125 let’s goo 🔥

[@henrycoulter3717]

Wow man!! That was scary. It least the mud helped break your fall. My guess is that you ran out of gas??? Can't wait for more!!!!

[@henrycoulter3717]

Oh and that new gear looks fire 🔥.

[@DerekHallman]

Super scary! But yeah I probably didn't get too hurt because of the soft mud! My vforce4r reeds were worn and a reed petal basically exploded haha

[@Aquaberrybackfist]

Matching gear with the bikes niiiiccceee lol. Love the videos tho

[@robloxboypikapika7874]

I like these videos dude I’m actually a new person for a dirt bike right now but still learning how to ride it

[@cainemercer2267]

I absolutely love your vids I’m glad I clicked on this vid it was actually a good vid

Yo Derek you are my favourite channel and if it makes you feel better i once fell in a lake and my dirtbike is still there after years love u man keep up the amazing content dude

dude perfect timing when you fell in the water and the camera went black i got an ad at the exact same time. nice recovery tho

[@omer_malca_22]

Proud to say that i am watching your vids from the raptor 700 times and the rmz

[@DerekHallman]

Thank you dude!! Many years

[@alexroy6668]

Switch air box covers I mix 50:1 and the vented cover helps a lot more. Use that closed cover in the woods though. If you don’t have the vented cover I suggest trying that. I just keep it in high end of powerband shifting through gears and it ironed it out for me.

[@DerekHallman]

My bike runs fantastic normally, but this ride my vforce4r reeds decided they were done. One of the petals basically exploded.

[@martinwinters5436]

I love your vids

[@767ryan4]

hope your okay dude, that was gnarly!

[@DerekHallman]

A little sore but overall ok, thanks man!

[@GeddyRC]

Ah man, super tough break. Your friend is a good dude though, asks if you're ok, then pulls your bike out of quicksand before it sinks into the ether, to the land of missing socks

[@markkotishion2379]

You mean ya' wear socks in yer' Alpinestars? Dang! I've been doing it wrong.

[@nicholasbonfiglio820]

i remember i jumped to the side of a 60 table (this is in practice) and on the side of the table there were thorn bushes so i bailed off the bike in the air and the bike landed in bushes and my friend just kept going lap after lap watching me struggle to get the bike out

at least you were able to get up from it man glad your ok

[@ericrogner2461]

So glad you did not get hurt I figured Dirt in carb reeds ok I live in Chesapeake and have been to Robert's hope to see you one day...

[@soupysocksenduro]

I got a RM125 and I am having a ton of problems wringing the power out when its under load, I am suspecting a jetting issue with my recent move to high elevations. I am wondering if it can be something as simple as a change in the temperature causing a jetting issue? great content dude, I got LOT of work to do to my channel! ;) btw, just subbed to your buddy, the best part of Enduro Riding is to have friends like that!

[@DerekHallman]

Yeah different temperatures cause the bikes to run differently. I got a Lectron carb and the bike runs really well all the time! My issue in this video was because my Vforce4R reeds basically exploded lol

[@schusterrides6941]

That was a crazy crash I hope everything’s good but I’m not a 2 stroke expert but it kinda sounded like something to do with the reeds since you are at high rpm alot

[@DerekHallman]

ding ding ding got it 👍

[@timmytheflyguy]

Lol sounded like you fouled a plug, great vid👍

[@DerekHallman]

nah I've actually never fouled a plug. My vforce4r reeds decided to retire lol

[@timmytheflyguy]

Ooooooff, that's something I've never seen before.

Bro me and my dad ride at this same place and my dad was going over the same jump and he tried to roll the jump bc he didn’t know it was an actual jump then he plummeted just like u lol ( he’s the reason for the don’t roll jumps sign ) I’m not kidding u can ask the lady at the little shack

[@DerekHallman]

oh nooo 😭😂

[@WaydUncaged]

I have no idea what the problem is. I’d start with the easy stuff first though like fuel and spark. It’s hard to troubleshoot a bike I can’t touch.

Nah, my Vforce4R reeds decided to retire on me haha

[@trevotwolf5497]

I'm laughtin at your fall

[@assortedfruits0425]

I have zero 2 stroke experience but it seems like a carb issue like the bike wasn't getting enough air so either jetting or air fuel ratio was off

[@danielbrugger7585]

well i had the same problem and it was a small pin from the fuse box that fell out. i put it back in and it was perfectly fine

Thanks for subbing dude! Power on the 150 is awesome, pulls hard. Not smooth and torquey like that sweet 350 of yours though.

[@jakehoskins9669]

You should really be harder on that clutch, it wouldn’t have solved this problem lol, but it’ll get you more drive out of the corners. Hopefully you can ride a gear higher, shift less, and hold a little more speed once you master slipping the clutch.

All mechanical issues aside. Had you pre run the course at a slower speed to survey the conditions? I’m just older and more cautious. That sign could be bigger and bolder as well! Glad you are OK ! Stay safe.

[@MotoJerg44]

Exact same thing happens to my Honda every few months, bogs down with no power, but doesn’t shut off completely. I still don’t know what causes it

That's odd man. My issue was the reeds were bad and chipped up, so specific to a 2 stroke. I didn't even realize I was suppose to replace them frequently 😂

@@DerekHallman You got it figured out without hurting yourself or the bike so that’s all that matter. This video makes me want to sort out my problem haha. Would it make sense that it seems to happen when I’m low on fuel? I don’t mean close to empty but maybe a little under half
