bonjour c est quel section que vous faites elle a l air sympa

[@THEGEEK2001]

how did you extends the range? fuel tank is very small

[@GFSNic]

Merci pour ces belles images et pour la découverte du TET, je n'en avais jamais entendu parler. D'après votre expérience, vous pensez qu'une Honda CB500X bien chaussée pourrait parcourir cet itinéraire sans problème ?

[@xavierxxplr8221]

Merci ! Oui avec de bons pneus, ça devrait aller, même si il y a quelques sections boueuses. J'ai aussi une garde au sol limité sur ma moto et je n'ai pas été pénalisé par le parcours que j'ai fait

[@GFSNic]

Salut, j'ai sauté le pas et je me suis acheté une petite cb500x, reste à l'équiper un peu pour l'aventure. Ce sont vos vidéos, entre autre, qui m'ont motivé à choisir une moto orientée chemin de traverse et je ne regrette pas du tout. Encore merci pour le partage. Bonne route.

[@GORidingADV]

Awesome video. What tires you have on your KLE?

[@xavierxxplr8221]

Thank you! I had a Mitas e07 on the front and e07+ for the rear. They have good grip on and offroad ! I've now put the Mitas e09 but the grip on road is not good as the 07 and they wear quicker

[@JOYsCAmpeR_ADV]

Great place to ride. You have Remus Innovation exhaust?

[@xavierxxplr8221]

No, it's a Suzuki 450 slip-on silencer, welded with a 45 mm inox tube. It's a good mod, the engine rev a lot quicker 😉

How does it handle the highway? Is 120 an easy cruising speed? Ive 650 singles before but find them lacking in speed for commuting. Wondering if the Twin is better for the occasional commute.

[@xavierxxplr8221]

It handle the highway really well, you can cruise at 140-150km/h all day long, the bike just go and doesn't drink too much fuel. I also had singles but the KLE is far smoother and rev higher, it is a great commuter! Only downside is the lack of torque in comparison of a thumper.

[@dominiquebertin921]

@@xavierxxplr8221 Thanks for the reply. After my R80G/S i had a suzuki freewind and then a CRF250 Rally. Really liked the rally but it lacked a bit of power and speed for me. It was great on the TET though :D Hoping the KLE will do both pretty decent.

[@theunnamed5775]

Whats the bike like on gravel at higher speeds? is it stable? Nice ride by the way.

[@xavierxxplr8221]

Thank you ! Yes the bike is stable on gravel, the weight is low on the bike so it keep the balance easily. The suspensions are a bit soft and get overworked when the track is too bumpy, other than that the KLE 500 is a sweet ride ! 😉

@@xavierxxplr8221 i just bought one for 400 not running, just needs carbies rebuild and the starter needs attention. Im excited now.

[@misiu111m]

@@xavierxxplr8221 is there any solution to make suspension stiffer?

[@xavierxxplr8221]

@@misiu111m You can put washers in the fork to adjust the preload but the best solution is progressive springs 😉

[@MariaRoza2011]

Im looking for a nice, not too heavy dual road/all road bike. Preferably 400-500cc range, or equal size and power. While researching bikes I ran into this vid. I'm a small woman living in the Netherlands and its pretty hard to find something which can handle highways if possible but is mostly fun on roads like you showed in this vid. How is the height if this bike? Also looking at the Royal Entfield Himalayan, but I prefer a v-twin over one cylinder. Its just so hard to find a bike which suits my wishes and size, and is available in NL for a nice price..

[@xavierxxplr8221]

I have this bike since 2 years now and i'm very happy with it ! I had monocylinders before but the KLE 500 is much more smoother, especially on the highway where you can cruise at high speed all day long. You can also off roading it with no worries, just put decent tires on 😉 The seat high is 850 mm but I know there is a lowering kit and you can also modify the seat to reduce the height.

[@krzysiekm1641]

ist crazy whit something heavy do that

[@Mini_BvB]

in germany, we get arrested for driving like this: off the road :(

[@xavierxxplr8221]

Those tracks were legal back when i rode them, they are not open anymore
