Stranded on the Trail on a Solo Dual Sport Ride | KLX 300 Broken Chain Guide | TM Designs JFG Racing

Thanks for this video I’m going to be keeping an extra eye on my chain guide from here on out 😂

[@josephthornton8560]

Thanks for the heads up. I will keep it in mind.

[@curtistackley4529]

Great video. Glad that you made it out. The TM Designs is so good. I’ve had them on my last 5 or 6 bikes. They are a bit louder but worth it. You got very lucky that the tab didn’t break off of your swingarm. 👍

[@DerekDualSport]

Thank you! Yeah that would have lead to much bigger issues haha.

[@CrustyMac300]

Nice review! Thanks for the shout out.

[@johnthomas3897]

Good video. I ride uwharrie and always concerned about a break. Glad you had tools to fix it

[@DerekDualSport]

Thank you! I think I’ll avoid that trail from now on when I’m alone haha

[@ajsmotorcyclingstuff1110]

Great info.. thanks for sharing. I watched a vid just yesterday where a couple fellas took a stock KLX300 and CRf3000 dual sports thru some enduro race. It was pretty impressive and awesome what they put them thru. I’ll post the name of the vid here when I find it.

[@DerekDualSport]

That’s awesome! Definitely something I’d like to watch. Thanks for sharing it.

[@josephthornton8560]

I saw the same video. Good watch, they did things way beyond what I ever expect to get into.

[@DerekDualSport]

It’s pretty incredible I haven’t watched through the whole thing yet but it’s a great watch!

[@KentwoodWarrior]

Just changed the oil after Saturday. I’ll have to take a look at my chain guide! Dave went and picked him up that black klx300 Sunday 😂

[@DerekDualSport]

I looked at your chain guide before we rode out of curiosity haha. It looked to be in good shape. That’s awesome, one of each now!

[@pnwguy221]

Thanks.

[@blacknight7201]

I think you lost some bolts first, then you hit the big rock. The hit finished off the chain guard.

[@big566bunny]

Wow, a tip very much worth keeping in mind. Never would have thought of minding the chain guide. BUT, what really happened? Did you crack the guide charging the rocky trail, losing the mounting bolts, until a dangling guide got pulled off by the chain? Did the wheel pass too close to a higher rock causing initial damage? BTW, I would like to see what tooks you carry (and how you carry them) to make such repairs.

[@rockyrambo9637]

Bro my brothers jack wad buddy just totaled my 1 day old klx just like yours. RIP it was a good bike

[@DerekDualSport]

Wow that’s crazy! Hopefully insurance has you covered, or his buddy pays up.

[@markcarter9571]

As always good stuff, how many miles on your bike now

[@DerekDualSport]

Thank you! I’m right under 1k miles. Not a ton of miles but definitely a lot of hard fought ones.

[@SMKYCOFFEY]

Shaq (lol)you coming July 27th brown mtn

[@DerekDualSport]

Haha I hope so! 🤞

[@GIJO]

Derek headed to Brown Mountain, lets RIDE? I b on 24 KLX 300R the gray color.

[@DerekDualSport]

Man I was just up there this past weekend, I got my butt kicked haha. I try to go once a month, keep an eye out for me and I’ll keep an eye out for you!

[@GIJO]

@@DerekDualSport Yo its so HOT might have to do a night ride?

[@bellyacre1]

How do your tires work on street?

[@DerekDualSport]

I run the pirelli MT21 on the front and Dunlop 606 on the back. They handle really well on the street.

[@bellyacre1]

​​​@@DerekDualSport Thanks for your reply. In summer I ride in the rain whenever I get a chance. So, sometimes I am on wet asphalt. Especially, if my favorite trail is flooded beyond recognition.
