Singletracks and Bald Tyres

I attempt to reach the Tower at the top of Mt Beenak the hard way, on the mighty KLR650. A solo off-road adventure starting at Powelltown with plenty of single track, hill climbs & other tricky terrains. The mountains offered some cracking views along the way. I even end up dangerously close to hitting a Sambar deer on the way home!
Location: Powelltown(Yarra Valley), VIC Australia

Love the fun attitude

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks, I really have fun being out there making these videos.

[@onerider808]

I like that you ride your KLR like you mean it.

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks mate! I try and give it a crack.

[@theOutbackBerean]

That was fun to watch mate. 🍺

[@NotShookADV]

Cheers! Thanks for watching.

Well done! Takes it out of you wrestling a big bike on those types of tracks.
Great place to ride.

[@NotShookADV]

It sure does wear you out. Definitely is a great place to ride, I haven't had the pleasure of doing it on the adventure bike yet, only memories of my younger days out there on the enduro/small trail bikes, Im looking forward to exploring it all again. Thanks for watching!

Grab a tractionator Adventure when the GPS rear wears out. The GPS can be mounted backwards aswell for more offroad use, but the centre strip being solid makes it spin in the loose stuff way mote than you want.

[@NotShookADV]

I just picked up a Tractionator RallZ after this ride! Im going to run it for a few weeks for some more high-country riding like this, hopefully it does the trick. I haven't tried flipping the GPS around for the mostly offroad setting yet. There is still a fair bit of tread on the GPS, so when I switch it back on I might give that reverse direction a go. Thanks for watching.

@@NotShookADV yeah ive got karoo 3s in my AT and a combo Rallz front, Adventure rear sitting in the garage waiting tp go on.

[@NotShookADV]

@@TLE1977AThe adventure looks like a great tyre, I probably should have got that instead of the GPS.

[@AusMoto]

Awesome video mate!
Looks like there is some great tracks up there, I'll definitely need to ride them!

[@NotShookADV]

It’s a great spot for the WR250F! Thanks for watching.

[@michiganmoto7687]

For sure proper tires would have made that a little easier but I reckon you did a fair job of it none the less. Right on. ✌️

[@NotShookADV]

Thanks legend! Putting a new rear on today:)

[@crispinleslie]

I cant decide if I would really like to ride with you- or whether the humiliation would kill me :)
Awesome go mate.

[@NotShookADV]

Haha , cheers mate.

[@MrPepper312]

Thanks for the ride, but hope you had a cell phone signal incase you got hurt.

[@NotShookADV]

Actually Yes had cell on this ride!
Cheers mate.

[@sToRmZzr123]

Nice vid mate. What performance mods you got in the klr? Any suspension mods etc?

[@NotShookADV]

Cheers! Thanks for watching.
Performance wise it’s basically stock, other than the Yoshimura exhaust.
I have done a few non performance mods, stuff like handlebars and pivotpegs, barkbusters, crash bars tail tidy etc.
I need to explore what’s available. Are there any particular performance mods you think are worth it?
