I have never commented on a video, but I felt the need to this time…Kyro is one lucky dog to be able to go on all of these adventures out in the wilderness with you guys! People commenting about your “poor dog” need to realize that he is conditioned for this. At no point did he look tired or stressed…Just a dog out living his best healthy life like all dogs should be, especially Kyro’s breed type! 🙂

Dogs were made for this and in their element, to run and be with humans and go on an adventure. Any one that thinks this is bad is doesn't know dogs and probably neglects animals even when they think they are 'loving' them, let's be real. This dog has working dog genetics, not couch dog or guard dog breeding, it needs to run and for a good distance, to stay healthy.

To lift a fallen bike, use your legs not your arms. Face away from the bike, put your arms under the bike and lock them in position then walk backwards. Your legs are significantly stronger than your arms and you'll lift the bike very easily.

Except that you can't just learn this from someone on a YT comments section, one of the things they used to teach in your DMV moto test was how to lift a fallen bike. Locking the front brake helps as much as using your legs, but there's more to this technique and especially where her bike fell over on an adverse angled hill no amount of leg lifting is going to help without getting some really secure footing and having your back straight and your arms directly in line with your hips. The crumbling gravel and increasing rain would have made this much more difficult. Also the weight of this bike is far bigger than a beginner should be riding on.

When you replace your lever, buy 2 and keep one with your tools, just in case. On your keys, get a bright red key chain or ribbon so if you drop your keys out in the woods it makes it much easier to find in the woods. Your DT 250 is a great bike. Back in the day, I had a '73 DT 250 and it never let me down. Have fun!

I stumbled on this by accident and stayed for the whole video! East coast rider here. I had a 78 Honda XL175 that I bought new in junior high school. Used to go camping a lot with that bike - this brings back memories! I still ride both street and dirt. I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but I would put a set of handguards / Barkbusters on. I broke my fair share of levers over the years. Another trick is to mount the clutch and/or front brake perch slightly loosely. This allows the lever to rotate in the bar if you dump the bike, but tight enough to still use the controls. Also looks like you need to do your fork seals soon. Loved the video - subscribed in NB!
@steverolfeca
@steverolfeca 2 ай бұрын
Yup. These tips are gold. Before bark busters, you had to learn how to adjust the lever perches so they would let go before their breaking point. You still don't want to over-tighten the clamps even with bark busters (a bent or broken handlebar will leave you stranded just as easily as a clutch lever). But Barkbusters protect your hands as well as the bike. Makes dropping the bike less stressful, and ensures longer and safer rides. They also extend the reading season a bit, by keeping your hands warmer in the chilly Canadian fall and spring seasons.

I love the video, the bikes and especially the enthusiasm the young lady has for "giving a vintage bike a new life". Old guy here with a safety suggestion. Please get those steel stemmed mirrors off of those bars, when dirt riding only. They can be a bad deal, if you get snagged or worse, impaled by one in a crash. Just looking out. Great old bikes and young people truly enjoying them. And IMO, that dog is probably having a blast. Good stuff guys, thanks. KK

To everyone in the comments saying poor kyro poor kyro. Kyro is fine💀. Kyro is pretty active outdoors, probably 110% more active than any of your house pets, for one. 2) Kyro was literally BRED for this. Kyro is a working breed. A supermutt of a bunch of WORKING. BREEDS. which means Kyro NEEDS genuinely NEEDS to run around all day long and have something to do, otherwise he can get destructive. 3) Kyro seemed to keep up just fine. He doesn’t need to be right next to her to be “keeping up”. She didn’t seem to be going too fast or too far either. He can fall behind but it wasn’t like he quit altogether or plopped down from exhaustion.

4) You can tell her and Kyro have an AMAZING bond. Stop attacking this poor girl and her dog. 5) I’m sure she is not out on the motorcycle all day long every day with Kyro. If she was, yeah he’s going to get fatigued. i’m sure Kyro gets PLENTY of rest and relaxation at home. 6) Since Kyro is active, it’s not like she sprung this on him out of nowhere-he’s used to running around. Yes some more trips and time at shorter distances would be beneficial so he builds up some stamina-but she’s literally learning and I’m sure Kyro is as well? In conclusion, Kyro’s fine, this amount of bike ride runninng was fine for him, leave them alone😭😭

Great video! It's awesome to see you getting into bikes and doing some exploring along the trails. Glad it was just a minor spill there when you went down, but some semi-decent protective gear (gloves, knee pads) goes a long way and doesn't cost much. When you start getting more comfortable riding and want to pick up the pace a bit, you'll learn to spend more time standing on the foot pegs, as that'll give you significantly more control to move with the way the bike wants to move and will upset the stability less. For those saying she was being mean to Kiro...she wasn't going fast and dogs love running trails like that. He totally looked like a dog having a blast to me.

Actually, two strokes are still alive and well! They aren't used nearly so much in motocross, but they still dominate enduro. They aren't as emission friendly as four strokes by any means, but they are lighter, and more powerful. They aren't as beginner friendly though. I still prefer to old ones - I still rock my Yamaha YZ490 and IT465.

I used to manage recreation cabins. Many times I would get to the cabin to find the wood handle on the splitting maul broken from somebody hitting the wood with the handle just below the maul instead of hitting the wood with the maul. I started welding metal handles to the maul heads and didn't have broken handles anymore :). That's probably why you found that metal handled maul.

A few protips after years of motorcycling: get stronger bars. Bent steel bars in the woods can make it difficult to get back. Same for levers. Also for remounting grips they make lock on ones/ quick set glue. That's the stuff you want. Old bikes are cool though.

There is a little screw on the side of your carb,It is the air screw for your idle and low speed.Your carb is too rich at low speed is why it fouls or turns black. Try opening the screw counterclockwise .25 turn at a time until it stops fouling . Dont go further than 3 full turns out from all the way in. If you want to understand just look up a carburetor jetting guide ,Its easy. Kepp riding you'll get it.

Bikes are an amazing tool to get to great camping places far away. One thing that might be good to do is look up offroad bike excercises. Get used to braking/sliding, how to turn in slopes ect. Good to have under the belt if something were to happen, emergency braking and so on. Practice standing up, will be very useful when terrain gets rough. Might need some modifications like higher steering bar for comfort.

When I started riding, I was on or off the clutch like a car, but I slowly started using the friction zone instead of fully letting out the clutch. Since motorcycle clutches have multiple disks that bath in the transmission oil, unlike normal vehicle clutches, they are made to slip more often. Constantly letting the clutch slip in a car will burn it out fast. When I took the Harley Davidson new riders' course, we were doing things like starting in second gear and slow maneuvers in second as well. Both those things involve slipping the clutch slowly and not really fully engaging. And that is actually something I started practicing on my dirt bike since my friends said they did that to avoid going into first gear in slow trails. So, it was cool to see they taught that to new riders in the course.

Watching you struggle to pickup the bike is the reality of trail riding. I've never struggled to pickup a bike myself. I think it's just the adrenaline dump that's always allowed me to get right back on. That being said, carry a pair of vice grips with you. I had a buddy of mine dump his bike and break his clutch lever. I fixed it by hammering the crescent wrench I had in my bag onto what was left of the broken clutch lever (much shorter than yours) with a rock. It worked super well but now I always carry vice grips because those would've been much easier to use. He was being a huge baby about it, you handled yourself well.

Great video! Both those bikes are awesome! I worked at a Yamaha dealership in Spokane in 1977 and one of my jobs was setting up bikes out of the crate and I can remember putting those DT250s together to go into show room... also your Bell Moto 3.. very Cool. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

I learned to ride on a 77 IT 250D that i got when i was 15 from my grandpa. The trick with 2 strokes is to slip the clutch and keep your rpm's up cause they don't have a ton of low end torque when going slow over more technical terrain. Standing up makes a huge difference if you're going over rough terrain. Lean your body opposite the bike when turning on dirt it gives you stability otherwise you'll slide out. I'm jealous of your trails out west. I've dropped my bike on knarly trails more times than I could count and plenty of times I got help from one of my uncle's. Have fun and don't be afraid to go fast.

Those clutch and front break levers always break when falling. Not sure if they still make them, but I used to have a pair of "unbreakable" levers on my old bike. They're made out of plastic and bend instead of break. They are less comfortable and less smooth then normal levers though. Alternatively you could get some sort of handlebar protectors, like for example barkbusters. There are a few very good videos on YT on how to properly and easily pick up a downed motorcycle btw. Video was fun and I love the old school bikes, cheers from the Netherlands!

I had a street legal 400, and I regret selling it. Street legal 2 strokes are becoming a rare thing. First thing I do on any bike I plan on riding off road, is cut the brake and clutch lever to the length of how many fingers it takes to pull it. I have never broken one that I shortened. Beautiful bike you have there. Oh yah, when riding a 2-stroke, ALWAYS cary a spare spark plug and wrench.

Hi Madison..I enjoyed this video adventure with you guys..I would like to offer a little tip if I can..when you bike is lying on the ground try turning your back to it and squat down next to it, one hand on the bars and the other the seat area and then lift with your legs to get it upright. The thought behind this is that it's easier to lift than to pull..if that makes sense. 😃

Hi, I'm in the UK and unusually have owned both bikes in the past, had a DT250MX in the same colour as well when was 17/18 (was quite a new bike then). I agree you don't need anything new to enjoy your riding (I think the DT175 both the twin shock and MX are better off road than the 250 as they are quite a bit smaller and lighter, owned both of those as well). You certainly have some good riding trails, keep riding and enjoy!
