I do in fact have “BOOWWWWIIINGGGG” 🤣🤣

When shifting up from 1 do you need to hold the clutch ? Or just release throttle and shift up and throttle again.

I know that a 13 tooth sprocket works good on a crf150r. Might have to cut a link out, which you will. But, so far after being thrown onto a 150rb after not riding for 6-7 years after a bad wreck on a crf110, the 13 has definitely come in handy in tight turns going to a fire road and other trails like Bethel. Just also you still have to feather the clutch sometimes. Also, for a 150r carbonator, you can also use a Honda Helix clone carb. The jetting just needs to be changed during summer and winter, as normal. But also helps with kickstarting. Just another thing, the hot start would be a choke. Also have to adapt and clamp hoses since the carb is backwards. When you lay over, open the throttle, which it would still be stubborn of course, just not as bad. After a long boring story, farewell:)

My friends rm80 was the first bike i ever rode on and what got me into riding. You're right about the bottom end torque scared me quite a bit with how much it would wheelie, and certainly stalled plenty

I can’t figure out what to fix and how to take everything apart my radiator smelled bad and started smoking what’s most likely the cause

what is you opinion on the drz 125? found one it is 2000 dollars and 2021 looks brand new

Could bad valves cause this on a four stroke?

A Suzuki DRZ400S or a Honda XR650L would be good beginner bikes for a tall rider. Both are heavier than a 250F but they are both street legal...if you need it.

Great, so I'm having both problems.😂

Big big help. Simple, to the point, and greate sound effects that actually made sense. 10/10

New off road rider here & New sub. Thanks for sharing your experience ! I just did 9,000 miles around the USA. I agree with your suggestions whole heartedly. My only guidance, prior to this trip, has been You Tube. A lot of mixed messages out there….. Your “simple” approach resonates with me. In my (limited) experience: I’d add that I have good days & bad days. A lot of the time it seems that if I’m not really “in the zone”, a 10min break can make a huge difference. I’m probably just relaxing my body & “death grip “ Thanks

All great advice balance and learning to keep your momentum and a steady throttle absolutely helps .

I have a 125cc dirtbike and when i shift into 1st it creeps a bit forward although i got clutch fully in.Also my clutch works way too up like it doesnt go smoothly it just stays in till it gets to end.

Yeah, ok. Thanks!

Started on a crf450L, doable but not suitable. I would have had more fun on a 250f, even 22000kms and 1 year of seat time later(mostly raod) I'm still not used to the power offroad

Hey, thinking sbout getting tjis as a first bike, im 6'5 though, do you think this would be an issue

About 5,4 220 lbs and I want a full sized race bike but I don’t know what to get

Hi! I have a 98 WR400 with a 450 carb. It did not respond to the mixture screw and did not die when fully seating the screw. I changed the pilot jet from the stock 48 to a 45 to a 43 to a 40 to a 38 to now a 35, HUGE change. Now it responds to the idle screw, 2 turns out seems best. It does not sputter when lugging the engine in high gear but it sputters bad with just a bit more revs and a small throttle opening. Wacking full throttle feels perfect. It backfires quite a bit from half the rev range back down to idle. I am confused. Can a 35-38 idle jet be right? And should I also lower the needle to remove the sputter when cruising?

I am learning that i can just give it throttle, look a was ahead to pick a line, and trust the bike to just do it's thing as far as going over the rocks goes. It's way better at rocks than I am it seems.

Can you explain the difference between rich sputter and lean surging?

See the rocks but never look at them

Always stay standing in rocks. Always. Keep your weight on the balls of your feet and let the bike work. You don't need weight on your hands unless you're specifically trying to weight the front end. Your hands aren't there to support your body weight. Also, look where you want to go, not where you want to avoid. I had a bad target fixation issue for a long time because I looked AT the big rocks, not at the line where I wanted to go. The flat line isn't always the best line. Sometimes it is better to go over the tops of the higher rocks and line then up to stay out of the holes between rocks. Getting stuck in those holes is when you get into the really tiring stop and go situations.

I need to find a place closer in.

Thank you bro you made me feel more comfortable riding a dirt bike acpesially for a clutch ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

It's 96F with a 100F heat index by 11 a.m., with boots and a helmet, that's heat exhaustion in short order... so, summertime is mostly out of the questions unless it's a 8-11 ride, and even then it's risky for heat injury.

I bought a DRZ400, and your videos have been very helpful. Test riding it, everything seemed okay, but just in case, I have your terrific sound effects to go off of now!

this was my first bike i recommend it as a first bike of if your not a chump

I have a crf150r that idle hangs when hot but also won’t kickstart when hot I don’t know what to do I don’t have very much experience

👍

My favorite way, don't get a dirt bike. Get a dual sport so you can ride anywhere. No more time wasted loading into a truck, no more worries about road legal issues. Trips to the store now become riding time, and chances to take an alternative route or trail on the way. Alot of things can be done off of a motorcycle that you would usually use a car for. Groceries and most smaller things are easy to fit in a milk crate that's strapped down to the back of the bike.

Not losing your time in youtube

Do u pull the clutch shifting down

Thank you very much for the video. I'm 5.5 tall, which is on average 1.65 meters, but I have a lot of experience with motorcycles, as I ride every day, and I'm wanting to take a chance on a crf 450rx 2025. Do you think that if I lower the seat with the Seat Concepts model that I would reduce it by 25 millimeters and also use a thicker insole to help, and also a slightly smaller tire pressure. Do you think it is possible at my height with these changes, without having to lower the suspension or even use a link? Thanks

The new 6500 closed cartridge forks make my 300 a lot more stable straight or turning in the loose volcanic rock. Open cartridge used to ride lower in the stroke making the bike unstable under compression. I still hate rocks,, but the bike is rock steady.

If you're running lean will the bike eat through gas quicker?

The picture for the good tune spark plug also seems white.

I’m a 16 old girl who just recently got into riding. I have a 110 Kawi which I’m deathly afraid of. I don’t know how to overcome it. I practice and always fall over. I want to gain confidence but I’m scared of hurting myself. I’ve never broken a bone. I really need some tips!

Trail riding in New England you better learn how or you won't like riding.

I think this might be common on the Crf125F,I purchased a new 2023 CRF125F and the shifting is clunky,it is not smooth and quiet like every bike i've owned,😠

Mines running at full throttle only😂

Video is very informative. But best part is sound effects. Love it 😊😁💫

You are forgetting the persons weight, it’s a major factor.

Bro bark at 0:38 😂

My 2012 rm-z250 has only 30 miles on it and it was working great but now its getting super hot 5 seconds after start and also shuts off when I push idle screw/choke back in. Obviously it sat in a garage covered and unused for 12 years before being used once.

If you're not putting weight on the handlebars, and you move your hips back, all your weight is still going through the footpegs and not changing how much weight on front vs rear tire. My question is, are you saying I should push/pull on the bars, or are you saying that moving your hips back still affects the bike despite not changing the weight distribution?

Hadn't ridden a motorcycle (ie. dirt bike) since 1984 as a teenager. Just bought my first bike, a CRF250L, this year and tomorrow will be going out with my wife to ride off road for the first time in 40 years. Wife has never ridden a motorcycle, so we got her a small ATV so she won't have to learn clutch, at least immediately. I've been riding on road since spring and it really brought back the joy I had as a teenager, riding dirt bikes in the woods near where I grew up. Hoping my wife loves it as much as I did/do.

Excellent video !! Im learning manual right now and this was very helpful.

So how to tune rich pilot jet ?

I have the same problem on my son’s yz125. It wants to stalk when dropped into first and you have to put it in neutral when starting. I have replaced everything with OEM : cable, basket, inner hub, fibers and plates, and the push rod is not worn down. The pressure plate releases with a large gap.

Lowered pegs and higher bars helped me ! I’m 6,1 got tall as fuck legs
