What you need (and don't) to start riding Supermoto!

[@davidwendel6080]

Brian is a fantastic coach, the track and school are on point.

[@socalsupermoto]

Thanks brother. I learn so much coaching each week so after about 1000 schools starting to get the hang of it all.

[@stephenlepore4476]

Radical! thanks man. just learned the track in in riverside not san diego..easy for me to get there. can wait to take your course!

[@socalsupermoto]

We're ready when you are. We have a few open spots for next Monday 8/14 yew!

[@vector409]

wish the uk had you guys ... and a bit of your weather

[@socalsupermoto]

cmon over to the colonies brother!

[@mrhalish]

I feel you man ☔️❄️😩

[@dariamorgendorffer9017]

SoCal Supermoto, the best "Easy Button" you can find. Can't wait to get back there with my sons.

[@socalsupermoto]

looking forward to it!

[@AndrewBoundy]

Great video. SM wheels for my dirt bike cost more than that TTR unfortunately - but whatever - the SM "ethos" here is what counts - have fun and ride whatever you can.

[@LaserMcGee199]

But then you have TWO bikes ;) A Sumo and a dirtbike. WHAT A DEAL!

[@socalsupermoto]

no need for supermoto wheels, you can have a blast throwing dual sport rubber on any dirtbike and hitting the kart track, and still be faster than half the guys with 17's

[@damp5900]

A lot of people here in Greece convert the yamaha xt 600 to supermoto is a chep and reliable choice. Would you suggest this bike in order someone to learn the basics of a supermoto?

[@socalsupermoto]

Absolutely. Sounds like a nice cheap basic fun platform to me!

[@damp5900]

@@socalsupermoto thank you very much!!!

[@derekperry2142]

I love this channel

[@socalsupermoto]

Thanks Derek, hoping to get active on it again shortly!

[@TheAusherGuy]

I got an Aprilia dorsoduro 900. Can I start on that?

[@saml7580]

Love your guys videos! Recently sold my sport bike and picked up a drz. What gearing would you suggest for tracking the DrZ on a smaller ish track ?

[@phil2468101214]

15/44 would be pretty versatile... If it's a tight go kart track you may be happy with 15/47

[@socalsupermoto]

if using for both street and kart track stock 15/42 works great. But like phil said a touch shorter is perfect. Simply go down a tooth on the front, or up 2 or three on the back and you're golden

[@shaynebluebelt]

Awesome vid, exactly what I needed. Thanks.

[@socalsupermoto]

yew stoked to help!!

[@bennyvazquez3547]

What part of socal are you guys in great video man

[@socalsupermoto]

Thanks Benny! The home track is Adams Motorsports park in Riverside and you can book the school at socalsupermoto.com. yew!

[@Beezy_Builds]

Where does the ktm 690 and 701 fall in to line here? Have you had any experience riding one on track?

[@socalsupermoto]

Amazing bikes that do everything well except stop. They're a bit cumbersome on a kart track but certainly fun and doable. It's probably the best bike for daily street plus some track thrown in.

[@keithwashman3023]

Brian, what size rotor are you running on the DRZ ? 320mm? I've found a few options on Amazon and ebay. Just curious which ones you have... I bought an almost new 2017 DRZ and love it! Thanks to your videos, I knew this was the right SM bike for me. I'll see you soon at a class. Probably March . :)

[@socalsupermoto]

Sorry late getting back, Def go 310, it makes brake pad changes WAY easier!

[@keithwashman3023]

@@socalsupermoto Thanks ! Ironically I just changed to some Galfer sintered pads this week and replaced the front brake line with a stainless one. Good info ! I'll be out at your school soon. Looking at upcoming dates. Possibly March 19th. Thanks again !

[@Motovibes91]

How about the Dunlup Mutans for supermoto's?

[@socalsupermoto]

Havn't tried em, but they look the biz! :)

[@thisguy8100]

I have an 86 xt350 with some pretty streety tires. Is it too tall to try this stuff or am I just asking to over compress the front suspension and flip over the other side? Big fan wish I heard about y'all before I left Cali...

[@socalsupermoto]

that's awesome, take it to the track and go for it!

[@charlieward7606]

i mean i have a xt600e super moto converted so similar but a bit heavier and i wouldnt take it over jumps, its a fun bike in the corners and you could take it over a tiny jump but they arent designed for supermoto jumps imo

[@ThorgalsWalhalla]

i love your aproach on bikes :D i am new to biking and bought a 701 Enduro. But i think about buying some 125ish crapbike just to do shit and learn wheelies

[@socalsupermoto]

its hard to go wrong with a 125 beater for wheelies and mini moto trackdays. I support this plan!

[@unrestrainedfamily9356]

what about surron? light bee? ultrabee?

[@socalsupermoto]

I wanna try em all!

[@johndaroza8312]

Do you change the fork rake and trail ? Or just do a 16.5 rim?

[@socalsupermoto]

my bikes are stock with better tires and the clickers turned up.

[@funserious2632]

man would love to rip the tracks , but sadly there are hardly any good supermoto-tracks here in Poland - the closes to me is over 250km away and it has huge restrictions (even original exhaust sometimes isnt allowed on the track cus too loud oO )

[@socalsupermoto]

If you can find a parking lot where they let you set up cones thats pretty much the same thing!

[@TheApplejack15]

Probably a dumb question, but I raced 450A in TT racing (pretty much flat track with an extra turn) and 450b in motocross. Do you think I'd be comfortable on the new ktm 450 smr to begin riding super moto? I've been eyeing it, but haven't ridden a dirtbike competitively in about 5 years. Only sport bikes.

[@socalsupermoto]

Absolutely. With your experience you will absolutely kill it in supermoto! go get it and let me know how it goes!

[@wootks]

Great video!

[@socalsupermoto]

Thank you!!

[@2SanityAtitsBest2]

Love it! Well said.

[@socalsupermoto]

Thanks Daniel!

[@yelmerkant7953]

What tire pressure do you recommend?

[@socalsupermoto]

22 f/r for the track, 28 street

[@jakeleigh9039]

Where do you find a used TTR for $1000 these days?!

[@socalsupermoto]

No where. Covid prices are normal prices x3

[@amymartin5578]

How bout a 2018 Suzuki Rv 200 van van?

[@socalsupermoto]

that'll work, get it!

[@charlieward7606]

where the two strokes at? cheaper to buy, lighter, easier to work on... perfect for beginners

[@socalsupermoto]

man I absolutely love smokers, but I'm going to politely disagree. low compression four strokes although harder to work on, almost never need to be worked on, and the throttle delivery with 2 strokes is tough for beginners. That said I think everyone should atleast try a smoker.

[@charlieward7606]

@@socalsupermoto ALMOST but when they do you may as well get a whole new bike if you dont know how to work on them, a two stroke is a great way to learn to work on your bikes which if you are on a budget is important. Everyone used to learn on smokers and them being harder to ride is a good thing, it teaches beginners better habbits. im not saying its all round better just that its a great option and a 125 is a hell of a lot more fun than that TTR in my opinion and will have a lot more potential for them to grow into

[@sillyben213]

This video needs more wheelies

[@socalsupermoto]

noted, we'll get you sorted on the next one!

[@mountaineer1706]

I'm 6 feet tall, I just can't ride a 110. My pit bike is a klx140. Just sharing.

[@socalsupermoto]

I'm 6'2 cant do a 110 but the 125 are totally doable, i do switch to knee down style though

[@darthorpheus]

Notice there’s no KTM.

[@socalsupermoto]

KTMs are awesome if you're into that kinda thing. For me one time euro sm ownership was enough

[@LoekJanssen-c9r]

Why are KTMs different? "If you're into that kinda thing" sounds like it's not supermoto

[@justletmecomment6453]

​@@LoekJanssen-c9rThe euro race bikes are just that: expensive, semi-exotic race bikes. They're fast as hell but you better be able to wrench and have a good parts source.
