[@dr650advridesqld3]

Great job mate. Ive told you several times . We will not be riding in the dark 😂. We should have a sacrificial burning of the jocks and socks every night 😂😂😂.

[@Catch22iscrazy]

Awesome! Look forward to follow up video!

[@nextstopadv]

Hope it’s a great trip mate and looking forward to hearing how it went. Wish I had bought shares in jocks & socks before you departed though! Haha.

Awsome .I'm busy building a 2007 wr 450 for the same purpose and got some great tips from your video. Safe travels budd from sunny south africa

[@sausagesandwichsa]

Good looking set up, hopefully have another go this year 👍

[@daveakawizz9544]

Nice one. I'm looking forward to more videos 👍

[@Thumpermad]

Excellent video mate it seems like a lot of gear spread out on the table especially with all those undies and sox but packs in quite nicely and at around 16kgs that's awesome. I've been umming and arrring about a Kovè rally bike but already have a WR450F MY19 which would be hard to part with so of course the other option is go for the Rally build thanks heaps for sharing I'll drop a link on Ride ADVs build you may have already seen it. Cheers Tony.

Great Stuff Mate, I've got a 18 model and looking to do something similar with the bike. Looking forward to seeing how you go on your trip. Stay safe Mate 👍

good looking build ,I have an 03 wr450 that I don't use anymore, was thinking about street kiting it..but maybe something like yours would be fun..

[@Greenfieldadventures]

Yew sick vid when u putting up your trip keen to see how u wentb

[@Andrew-vz3qk]

Mate, get a couple good pairs of socks and one good pair of quality underwear made of polyester. One polyester pair of underwear from kmart lasted me 6 weeks of walking about 10-15kms everyday. Finished without any holes or issues whatsover. Used 3-4 pairs of thick woolen socks, soak them in clean water before the sweat dries so they dont get crusty and then let them dry

[@trippinaroundaus7942]

I was pretty happy in the end the theory worked especially after some wet feet days

[@klausedinger4448]

Hi, nice follow. Do u change the Oil capacity ? greetings

[@stefansvenonius9874]

Nice build. I’m starting my build now with an 2012 wr450f. Could you please provide the link to the screen?

[@getslimdad]

what year bike what transmission did you change and where from, costs and final ratios vs standard etc

[@trippinaroundaus7942]

Hi mate it’s a 2015 I bought new, transmission standard - sprocket changed to 14/44 from original 14/47 combination to give it some reprieve on the long roads. Finished a couple of days ago and the bike was strong no dramas even after a few offs in the sand.

[@dominic9279]

Nice setup mate but do they make a smaller aftermarket size tank

[@trippinaroundaus7942]

@@dominic9279 acerbis do a smaller shower this tank gives me a comfortable 300km range

[@stefanhansen5882]

How often do you have to change the oil and filters on this bike when using it as a light adventure bike? Thanks!

[@damolux3388]

New jocks and socks everyday 😂

[@youtoob8166]

How many oil filters are you going to take ?

[@trippinaroundaus7942]

Hi mate I did change 3 filters and oil changes over the 4390km , the last I done at betoota to ride back to longreach and probably wasn’t necessary but oil is cheap in comparison I guess.

[@getslimdad]

too many clotes mate, lol
