ANSWER: For those coming down to the comments to guess what happened - A reed petal of my VRorce4R reeds basically exploded. The bike was running weird all day but I didn't even think about reeds. I guess it had been chipping during the day until it finally just kinda fell apart right before that jump. The reeds had about 30 hours on them and I didn't realize you need to replace these things so frequently... After replacing the reeds the bike is back to running normal 👍 I'll include a picture of the destroyed reeds in my next motovlog 😭
While it is considered normal maintenance to replace reeds, the stock KTM reeds are known to be junk. They recently switched from sourcing Vforce reeds to making them in house. Vforce reeds will last 10X longer and give you more power.
V force is know for there reeds to chip and brake it’s happened a couple times to me so I personally will only run boyson and I’ve never had any issues with them
Dude that's so scary. Thankfully the bike landed airbox side up. At least you were able to salvage the footage from the GoPro. Audio sounded great too...
Switch air box covers I mix 50:1 and the vented cover helps a lot more. Use that closed cover in the woods though. If you don’t have the vented cover I suggest trying that. I just keep it in high end of powerband shifting through gears and it ironed it out for me.
That was a crazy crash I hope everything’s good but I’m not a 2 stroke expert but it kinda sounded like something to do with the reeds since you are at high rpm alot
i remember i jumped to the side of a 60 table (this is in practice) and on the side of the table there were thorn bushes so i bailed off the bike in the air and the bike landed in bushes and my friend just kept going lap after lap watching me struggle to get the bike out
Ah man, super tough break. Your friend is a good dude though, asks if you're ok, then pulls your bike out of quicksand before it sinks into the ether, to the land of missing socks
Yo Derek you are my favourite channel and if it makes you feel better i once fell in a lake and my dirtbike is still there after years love u man keep up the amazing content dude
I got a RM125 and I am having a ton of problems wringing the power out when its under load, I am suspecting a jetting issue with my recent move to high elevations. I am wondering if it can be something as simple as a change in the temperature causing a jetting issue? great content dude, I got LOT of work to do to my channel! ;) btw, just subbed to your buddy, the best part of Enduro Riding is to have friends like that!
Yeah different temperatures cause the bikes to run differently. I got a Lectron carb and the bike runs really well all the time! My issue in this video was because my Vforce4R reeds basically exploded lol
Almost promising it blew up, mine did the same thing just off a bigger jump😅 lucky for you you got away pretty clean👍 Hopefully next vid u can te us what was wrong
Bro me and my dad ride at this same place and my dad was going over the same jump and he tried to roll the jump bc he didn’t know it was an actual jump then he plummeted just like u lol ( he’s the reason for the don’t roll jumps sign ) I’m not kidding u can ask the lady at the little shack
You should really be harder on that clutch, it wouldn’t have solved this problem lol, but it’ll get you more drive out of the corners. Hopefully you can ride a gear higher, shift less, and hold a little more speed once you master slipping the clutch.
6:00 Very small sign says "Do not roll jumps" right at the apex of the jump. Not much thinking went into that. I'm surprised the mud pit isn't full of bikes
That's odd man. My issue was the reeds were bad and chipped up, so specific to a 2 stroke. I didn't even realize I was suppose to replace them frequently 😂
@@DerekHallman You got it figured out without hurting yourself or the bike so that’s all that matter. This video makes me want to sort out my problem haha. Would it make sense that it seems to happen when I’m low on fuel? I don’t mean close to empty but maybe a little under half
can you tell me how to get all of the handlebars when i make a video because i have a proshot and its like really close to the bars and dosent get it like yours im gonna try to flip it upside down and do you use 4k or no because if i use 4k it looks bad but normally it looks really good but doesnt fill the whole screen so please help derek thanks
All mechanical issues aside. Had you pre run the course at a slower speed to survey the conditions? I’m just older and more cautious. That sign could be bigger and bolder as well! Glad you are OK ! Stay safe.
Yeah I had already spun some laps and I've been on this track many times prior as well. I can do all these jumps with my eyes closed I know the course so well haha. Thank you Shawn, all is well!
I think it had something to do with u leaning out the bike and it caused the motor to run less air or less fuel which made the motor to get hot and weld to the piston cylinder. I did they same thing I ran it to lean and it locked up. I got told it was with reeds cuz it focuses ur air and fuel.
Davey, the reeds were bad and chipped off 😭. I learned after the issue, doing some research, that bad reeds make the bikes jetting feel impossible to get correctly, and also that I need to replace the reeds regularly haha
I believe the reason it’s cutting is cus you letting it engine brake, and that’s a big no-no on 2 strokes, cus when you let off the gas on a 2 stroke your also letting off the oil, and that can cause MAJOR engine issues

I had the same problem on my Ktm 150 I sucked a reed and just bogs out and supposedly it’s pretty known to happen

@@andybj4091 Re-read my post :) The reeds that were destroyed at 30 hours were VForce4R.
What's a reed? I'm currently on a 300 2 stroke suzuki from some time long ago so that sounds like alien tech to me lol
V force is know for there reeds to chip and brake it’s happened a couple times to me so I personally will only run boyson and I’ve never had any issues with them
That was cool of you friend getting in the mud to pick up your bike.
Yea that’s a real friend
That’s what friends are for
Ha
@@AmazingBlaze0 Nothing special about that tho? I mean that's just common sense
@@AlluzHH get tf outa here duh it’s common sense but not every has that.
I guess that’s why that sign said ‘Do Not Roll Jumps’! Yikes, that was scary.
Haha yes exactly why. Many people have broken their wrists on that jump
Bro, here's he good news -- You were tearing it UP right before it happened. Your getting fast as hell. Love the channel!
Thanks so much Douglas I appreciate that!
So glad you were able to slow down a lot before hitting the face! Still gnarly!
Definitely! Could've been much worse 😬
6:29 thats the most peaceful way to say "my balls hurt"
Bro Derek your getting so fast, great job but now we have all learned DO NOT roll jumps with a sign that says “do not fool jump”
Dude that's so scary. Thankfully the bike landed airbox side up.
At least you were able to salvage the footage from the GoPro. Audio sounded great too...
Very scary and very glad no water got inside the bike! I'm not sure how I feel about this mic, still might try the one you use.
@@DerekHallman any luck figuring out what's wrong with the bike?
I'm pretty happy with the current state of my audio setup.
He’s back on the 125 let’s goo 🔥
“My balls hurt” - Derek 2021
Also you forgot to turn the gas on obviously 🙄
the gas would've ran out before the 1st lap
@@galaxyman8183 My comment was completely sarcasm
balls still hurtin' 😂 did I never message you and tell you the issue?
@@DerekHallman I don’t think so, we talked about it when it happened but I don’t think you told me what actually caused it
Wow man!! That was scary. It least the mud helped break your fall. My guess is that you ran out of gas??? Can't wait for more!!!!
Oh and that new gear looks fire 🔥.
Super scary! But yeah I probably didn't get too hurt because of the soft mud! My vforce4r reeds were worn and a reed petal basically exploded haha
Matching gear with the bikes niiiiccceee lol. Love the videos tho
Switch air box covers I mix 50:1 and the vented cover helps a lot more. Use that closed cover in the woods though. If you don’t have the vented cover I suggest trying that. I just keep it in high end of powerband shifting through gears and it ironed it out for me.
My bike runs fantastic normally, but this ride my vforce4r reeds decided they were done. One of the petals basically exploded.

ding ding ding got it 👍
3:06 that was awesome :D
Proud to say that i am watching your vids from the raptor 700 times and the rmz
Thank you dude!! Many years
You have really good friends. I’m jealous tbh
i remember i jumped to the side of a 60 table (this is in practice) and on the side of the table there were thorn bushes so i bailed off the bike in the air and the bike landed in bushes and my friend just kept going lap after lap watching me struggle to get the bike out
@@nicholasbonfiglio820 HAHAHAHAHAHAH
dude perfect timing when you fell in the water and the camera went black i got an ad at the exact same time. nice recovery tho
Ah man, super tough break. Your friend is a good dude though, asks if you're ok, then pulls your bike out of quicksand before it sinks into the ether, to the land of missing socks
You mean ya' wear socks in yer' Alpinestars? Dang! I've been doing it wrong.
I absolutely love your vids I’m glad I clicked on this vid it was actually a good vid
Yo Derek you are my favourite channel and if it makes you feel better i once fell in a lake and my dirtbike is still there after years love u man keep up the amazing content dude
Yo what lake 😂 and is it a Honda if so I bet it’s there waiting on you to rip
"yeah my balls hurt" best quote from a crash ive ever heard
i’m glad your ok and i hope you can post more about your bikes

A little sore but overall ok, thanks man!
I like these videos dude I’m actually a new person for a dirt bike right now but still learning how to ride it
Lol sounded like you fouled a plug, great vid👍
nah I've actually never fouled a plug. My vforce4r reeds decided to retire lol
Ooooooff, that's something I've never seen before.
That was funny lol 😂, but sounds like you fouled a plug 🔌
thanks for watching dude haha my reeds decided to retire on me
Love the content that track looks sick
Reeds for sure 2x stroke for life
Almost promising it blew up, mine did the same thing just off a bigger jump😅 lucky for you you got away pretty clean👍 Hopefully next vid u can te us what was wrong
Gear looks soooo sick
Thanks Robin!
Bro me and my dad ride at this same place and my dad was going over the same jump and he tried to roll the jump bc he didn’t know it was an actual jump then he plummeted just like u lol ( he’s the reason for the don’t roll jumps sign ) I’m not kidding u can ask the lady at the little shack
oh nooo 😭😂
It was so nice of you friend to get of his bike and help you get yours and ask if you were ok and help get the bike out he is soo nice
Maybe the killswith has a loss connection
Nah, my Vforce4R reeds decided to retire on me haha
at least you were able to get up from it man glad your ok
youve gotten WAY faster sense i last watched you when you first got the 2 stroke
Trying! Thanks for watching Quentin 😁
What a good friend running into the shit straight after u and im guessing reeds failed
He sure is! And yep the vforce4r reeds basically exploded lol
Good thing it wasn’t a huge open double!
I think it might be a Reed he's haulin so it would make sense
Крутая трасса 👍🔥
So glad you did not get hurt I figured Dirt in carb reeds ok I live in Chesapeake and have been to Robert's hope to see you one day...
Hahah that was crazy man good video
thanks man my misfortune makes for good entertainment 😂
what track are you on iam a first time watcher?
You should really be harder on that clutch, it wouldn’t have solved this problem lol, but it’ll get you more drive out of the corners. Hopefully you can ride a gear higher, shift less, and hold a little more speed once you master slipping the clutch.
Please explain slipping the clutch as I don't ride.
I have no idea what the problem is. I’d start with the easy stuff first though like fuel and spark. It’s hard to troubleshoot a bike I can’t touch.
scary fall and right into lake glad you alright
carb overflow? carb needle stuck or float stuck
Check the reeds my ktm 300 ran like that and my reeds where bad. Thank God you didn’t get hurt
BINGO! First person to get it right
That track looks so fun. So much open space to pick up speed. Where is it?
It's a really fun place. It's in Virginia.
Love the fit just subscribed I have a 2019 ktm 350 how’s the power on your 150 ?
Thanks for subbing dude! Power on the 150 is awesome, pulls hard. Not smooth and torquey like that sweet 350 of yours though.
6:00 Very small sign says "Do not roll jumps" right at the apex of the jump. Not much thinking went into that. I'm surprised the mud pit isn't full of bikes
Exact same thing happens to my Honda every few months, bogs down with no power, but doesn’t shut off completely. I still don’t know what causes it
That's odd man. My issue was the reeds were bad and chipped up, so specific to a 2 stroke. I didn't even realize I was suppose to replace them frequently 😂

i thought he was drownin in the little puddle🤣
Did the chain come lose from the bike?
Are you riding at roberts track and trail?
yeah
can you tell me how to get all of the handlebars when i make a video because i have a proshot and its like really close to the bars and dosent get it like yours im gonna try to flip it upside down and do you use 4k or no because if i use 4k it looks bad but normally it looks really good but doesnt fill the whole screen so please help derek thanks
What gopro are you using?
hero 7 silver
I’m getting a Ktm im 13 5 foot 2 any recommendations ?
Friend "are you okay" you "dude my balls hurts"🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thus track looks awesome

You stalled it. It happened on my 110cc by KTM
Nope
2:55 best part
water in the airfliter? or gas line snapped?
Reed petal exploded
Imagine not cleaning your airbox since you bought the bike 😬 just kiddin 😂
Hahah these things have air filters!?? Where!??
What track are you on
Great job
Needed to clean the carburetor and or air filter?
Both the lectron and the air filter were squeaky clean 👍 another guess?
“my finger might be broken” guy falls “laughs”
😂
Make sure ya turn the fuel on next time bro 🤙🤙🤙😂😂
hahaha fuel was the first thing I check when we drug it out of the pit. It was on and had a full tank! My reeds actually chipped and said bye bye 😂
Haha wow iv never heard of that happening mate. Good thing your ok.
@@DerekHallman I knew it was your reeds
So was the go pro actually broken?
Nah after pulling out the battery and SD card and towel drying the inside it worked again 👍
Kay-tee-emm ☕️
When your friend said do not roll jumps lol
should've read the sign oops😂
You left your fuel off didn’t ya 😂😂
i was gonna say fuel but then was there anything broken or missing yo usee so idk
What track is this and where is it
That was a easy kick to start!!! New top end soon?!!!!
Top end has about 5 hours on it 😁
@@DerekHallman i have 300+ on my 99 rm 250 lmao
I honestly have more fun riding my race bike in the streets then in the dirt.
I think it had something to do with u leaning out the bike and it caused the motor to run less air or less fuel which made the motor to get hot and weld to the piston cylinder. I did they same thing I ran it to lean and it locked up. I got told it was with reeds cuz it focuses ur air and fuel.
You mentioned something about leaning the bike out some my guess spark plug went bad because too lean

@@DerekHallman I'm glad to see you got it fixed and everything is okay..👍😁🔥 man that bike sure does rip pretty good..
dude i ride here all the time and im always scared thats gonna happen to me on that jump lol
Same thing that happened to my blaster needed carb rebuild
I’m guessing plug related or the air filter or even just to rich in the pre mix. but shot in the dark was it your carburettor flaps🤔🤔
My reeds were done for!
Spark plug Fouled?
Glad your okay man
Thanks Jesse
Spark plug cap come off???
Nah my reeds chipped and said bye bye 😭
reed cage go boom boom
100% haha literally boom boom
best crash I have seen
I believe the reason it’s cutting is cus you letting it engine brake, and that’s a big no-no on 2 strokes, cus when you let off the gas on a 2 stroke your also letting off the oil, and that can cause MAJOR engine issues
Not necessarily. The engine is still under vacuum when you engine brake, which is still going to draw fuel and oil through it.
Spark plug or reeds?
reeds died!
This same thing happened with my KTM 150 2018 turned out my valves were sticking. I also replaced the top end as well.
Valves on a 2 stroke. Hmmm
@@tristenkiesow4061 He might be talking about his power valve. Sticky power valve was a common issue on these bikes from 16-18.
Tim, a reed petal from my Vforce4R basically exploded lol
That's one helluva good homie u got DEREK..goin in that muck to get your bike
True that!
Is it the Reeds?
Any tips on jumping dirt bikes
Spark plug?
That is float level!
Nah it was my Vforce4r reeds. A reed petal basically exploded!
Spark plug gone?
Nah it was my vforce4r reeds. A reed petal basically exploded lol
The air filter was to greasy, or the bougie was bad?
Haha nah not the air filter
The lectron carb has caused detination to cut out the bike because it was running too rich
Nope the lectron is excellent! Didn't cause the issue. Another guess? 😁
Nope mabey the throttle cable
