- In this second part, we fight through bike troubles, a gang of breakfast burritos, and a nasty wreck that could've been much worse.
Thank you for watching!

Nice ride! Man that’s some sick terrain
Thanks man! It was a super fun trip with some great riding. Gonna make a trip back when it’s a tad warmer 🥶
Good stuff. That phone mount on that Husky is legit - it didn't budge!
The phone mount is solid. It’s a quad lock with a vibration dampener on a MotoMinded stout mount. The only weak point is the quad lock and case itself, which actually tends to be a safety feature because the tabs that secure the case to the mount will bend or break in a heavy crash, allowing the phone to detach before breaking the phone. I’ve only had it happen twice now, but zero damage to the phone.
@@IdahoDualSport208 Thanks for the info. I'll need to get that setup for my 500. I never heard of motominded I'll look into it.
@LBRides they make a lot of great parts for those bikes! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Glad you guys figured out the issue. Looks like an awesome trip! Thanks for sharing.
Us too! Was a great trip and time reconnecting. Thanks for watching! Love seeing the stuff you ride out here 👊🏻
Great video hopefully I’ll get my hands on a 501 this year. Never riden before.
They’re an amazing machine. Extremely predictable, versatile, and a pleasure to ride. As much as I hate to say it, if something happened to mine, I’d likely fork out the money for a brand new one. They’re that good.
@@IdahoDualSport208 right on much appreciated. Yea hoping it’s manageable as I’ll be new to riding. But will enjoy it more as i become more experienced
@ElGancho08 I will say this, don’t be intimidated by the bigger motor. It handles in a manner that is very controllable and predictable for a newer rider - and still allows for you to grow into the bike. The Taco Moto GET ECU and map switch does an even better job of this by implementing a detuned map at the switch of a button that makes it even more controllable, especially in slower and more technical terrain.
The more I see of the 501 the more I want one
They made the 24’s even better. Enough that I have been tempted a few times to upgrade. Their only downfall is a weird sump location in the fuel tank, but Taco Moto already created a remedy. They’re such good bikes. My goal is to add a 901 expedition in the future and keep this as my off-road dominant dual sport
@@IdahoDualSport208 did the mapping help with the low speed stalls?
@charlesodle8595 absolutely. The GET ECU makes a massive difference for dual sporting. Map 1 is perfect for pavement and fast fire roads or open country. Map 2 is perfect for slower tighter single track and more technical riding. I ride primarily with 12/50 which is extremely low enduro gearing, but that’s where I like my bike to shine.
Excellent content! I thought you saved the front tire wash out and then you went down. Even after reading your explanation it’s still weird fall from the camera angle. Should you have just let off the gas to let the front suspension finish the stroke? Seems like a very small detail…glad you got up and rode off. You are spot on with the gear! Couple questions, I’m getting the GET and Traction control from Taco. Were you switching maps on this trail or leaving it in one map most of the time? I’m debating on the TC knob, do you adjust your TC a lot during rides with the knob? I think with the WiFi you can adjust the TC but of course you have to stop. I’ll go back and watch your build video! Thanks again for posting!! Good stuff!!
I thought I had saved it too - that’s what bit me so bad! Sand can be tricky and it got me here. I think ideally I should’ve stayed off the throttle coming out of the corner - but my instinct is to always gas out of corners to stand the bike up, and especially when sand starts to wash you. Leatt replaced the helmet no questions and I walked away with only a minor concussion, and bumps and scrapes. Super grateful for good gear! So I spend most of the time on map 2 (woods map) on the single track, and then map 1 when I’m out in the open fast stuff. Traction control I dial back in the sand and dirt, but back up when it’s sand sugar covered hard pack or wet pavement. It’s a great upgrade that really fine tunes the bikes capability. I love the traction control on FS and fire roads where that marble rock sits on hard pack. It keeps the bike from sliding out on those flat corners and cambered sections. Once I’m on the trail, it stays on 4 or 5 which gives slight detuning on those nasty climbs where the wheel starts to spin. If you have any questions feel free to DM me on IG, I’d be happy to give you any feedback I may have 😎
Roll your levers forward {tipped downward enough} that you can keep your forefingers resting on the clutch & brake at all times, even when standing & then let the muscles in your hands adjust to this position = you add the second fingers as needed for clutch & brake pulls {& then go back to just resting the forefingers} this develops into a muscle memory within a month
This is how you avoid whisky throttle in treacherous terrain as well as lightning quick clutch & brake for panic situations
As you increase your speed on faster & faster bikes this becomes sorta critical at a certain point
& As a bonus when you get on your buddies janky clapped out bush pig with loose wobbly levers buzzing away & about to fall off., you'll have developed the technique to silence & control that annoyance, you'll also start to notice that you might not want to be infront of someone who isn't using this technique
My 2 cents, anyways, beautiful bike, nicely setup, good choice 4sure
Great advice, and all very valuable information! Thanks for the input 🤝
I don't think you need a new helmet, it did its job at "slow speed" FK I've certainly Sharpie markered a few low speed scratches don't worry about this at all "in my opinion" of course {unless you think you hit "really hard!" Idduno.. its subjective I suppose)
Buy a pair of adjustable levers
Dial those in for your hands
Run your air pressure as low as you dare.. lol 😆 {11 psi?} & Have fun., I think your on the right track 👍
Maybe also run your suspension as low as you dare {this would give maximum effect in range of motion of course} so if you weigh 175 lbs ..? {I dunno 🤔 I'm just looking at a video, myself I weigh 275 but I'm 46 right so I'm from the previous generation
From a stock suspension setting I'm guessing for you I'd recommend -1 on front rebound {the rest of it leave in standard)
On the rear clickers it is actually legitimate to figure out the sag for your weight
But since your not going to be overwhelming the stock valving I'm thinking you could take 1 click off of standard compression & 2 clicks off of standard rebound
The "idea is" to have a sorta "dead rear" it'll never throw you over the bars, it'll never pogo you, you will adjust and have confidence that you'll be landing rear wheel first or at least at the same time
That's how I started on this venture in 2002
The Yamaha needs an Anti Gravity 801 Battery and raise the idle up to 2200-2300 using the Yamaha Tuner app on your phone.
The bike will also start in gear with the Anti Gravity 801.
I’ll make sure to pass that along. I definitely recommended the antigravity battery as well. The not starting in gear thing was odd. Then it completely died. Then was fouling plugs. Definitely a fueling or tuning issue in there somewhere.
@@IdahoDualSport208 some of the FX fuel lines were kinked or pinched. My 2023 250FX only had starting issues last winter with the China stock battery. After upgrading my battery and turning up the idle I have not had any issues at all.
@fattie2550 thanks for the pointers. I’ll pass that along. They tried to say it was a $700 battery in the bike, and I looked at it and told him absolutely not. Standard LifePo factory battery. Antigravity is the way to go.
So what was the cause of the starting issue?
So initially the battery was completely bad. Dealer diagnosed it and replaced the battery. Got back out to camp and it wouldn’t turn over, and was fouling plugs. So, a mix of the cold, and bad fuel mapping is what I believe to have been the culprit.
@@IdahoDualSport208 You removed the tank. What were you doing?
@LuckyNikitaBoba in order to get to the spark plug on that bike, the tank had to come off 🙃
