Anyway hope you enjoy this video.

Thanks for watching & I’ll see you all next time.
Hi Dodger, great video.
I also agree that dumping rubbish in our great outdoors is just NOT necessary!!
Foot berhind tire, 1st gear, lift up and back on handlebars gas it. front up in the air, rotate 180 degrees. Practice at home. Offroader 57 years.
I put Dunlop Trailmax Mission's on mine. So far so goo.
Hello Dodger,
You also showed that the little versys is a very capable machine.
About the tires,
I use one mine the( Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR) they are very good on the road and good on the dirt,they are rated as a 50/50 tire.
Keep making good videos.
Thanks 🙏
Nice video, Dodger. That rubbish dumping is shameful.
What tires did you replace them with? Do you still have your X300?
I've watched X300 videos with Shinko 244 F+R that was excellent on mud and gravel. Also the 804/805 combo.
Cheers from Indiana. 🙂👍👍
Shinko tires. Still have the Versys x300. Infact have just recently purchased another Versys for the Mrs. Will be planning future rides together. Thanks 🙏
Awesome!
Minute 8:00…you’re on the way to Pound Town? Pound Town, coochie pink and bootie hole brown? I’ve heard the song but never been before, thank you for allowing us to explore it with you!
Your videos are getting better and better! Keep'em coming!
Thanks 🙏
Great video. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks 🙏
Awesome video mate.
I've been smashing my 2021 versys offroad for the last year or so, on stock tyres. Sure it gets a bit slippery, but ive been bloody impressed for what it is.
Looking forward to getting a tkc80 up front and whatever cheap 50/50ish tyre i can find for the back.
I was trying to figure out where you are, you mentioned a few places i thought i knew, but it looks wrong. This isnt south east qld is it?
Most of my short rides are out in the Eastern area Melbourne. Like to venture out different areas. Hopefully my next adventure. Thanks 🙏
@@DodgerMohr
Ahhh, right.
Many of the locations you mentioned have duplicates up here in the brisbane area, i couldnt figure out where you were 😂
No worries.
Bloody hell! That fencline submarine action on the stock tyres went surprisingly well. 👌
Cool adventure 👍 really like your Versys 300 great light bike!
Thanks 🙏 Great light touring bike. Will be better once I change the tyres especially on dirt.
Great video dodger. Them single tracks looked good. Ride safe
Great video really enjoyed what you can do with a small bike. Not all of us can afford a big GS et cetera.
Cheers from bonnie Scotland 🏴
Thanks 🙏
I would go mitas e07 or eo7+. . Grt allrounder tyre, hard wearing and still good on the blacktop. Tractionator good in the dirt but too rough and chunky on the bitumen.
Congrats on the 1k+ subscribers mate!!! Great stuff! Hope that mom is ok. Looks like the Versys is a winner! Even with street tires you did amazingly well. Can't do much about the slippery stuff... On ya, mate! :-)
Thanks 🙏
Congrats Dodger. I've been watching on since your early videos. Kind of gutted I didn't start making my own back then, too. Onya, mate.
Thanks 🙏. Never to late to start recording your rides. I wished I started earlier, did a trip around half of Australia with the Mrs over 10 weeks & only took photos.
Good job Dodger
Congrats on 1000 🍺🍺
Good luck w your mom 🙏🙏
Thanks 🙏
Hi Dodger: try Shinko 804/805's they will give a bit of on/off road capability and decent mileage. enjoy your vids.
Thanks 🙏. Will check them out.
Man, I have the Shinko big blocks 804/805 on my 2020 X300 great on and off road, just my 2 cent's !
Keep the videos coming Dodger really enjoying em😄 Just changed my versus 650 for the x300 love this little bike, hopefully get to use it more in the UK before long, stay safe mate.
Great bike, great video! 😃
Nice video man!
Great ride, new subscriber here ✅👍🏼
Thanks 🙏 Was a short trip but a great day.
Boy they are a great bike Mate. Man you did well, it looked like hard work.
Thanks. Will go back there when I get my new tyres late this month. Should be able to finish off that single trail.
Hi Dodger good vid, I have the mitas e07+ Om my G310gs they work well on the road and dirt. 👍
I can so identify with you. Not just in age!! I've also ended up in tight spots where I either couldnt or didn't want to a steep climb or muddy ramp.Since January I've gone from NC750X to Tenere 660 and now got the Honda 250 Rally , with knobblies . The more I do the tracks the more I ask myself why I want to put myself at risk in my mid 50s. Guess I just wanted to do a different type of biking. I've got my eye on the Versys 300, as I want a light bike that I can pick up that is better to tour on than the Rally. Look forward to hearing your views. You definitely need more off road focussed tyres. I live near Barcelona in Spain BTW.
Thanks 🙏 I’m really enjoying the Versys X300, yet to test the new ‘Shinko’ tyres on muddy tracks, did have a trip planned but was cancelled due Lockdown Restrictions, will be doing a trip in late August/September for 14 days which will test the bikes plus my capabilities.
Mate nice video, what is the engine vibration like coming through the handlebars?
Thanks. Minimal engine vibration in the handle bars.
I hate the wanker too that are dumping. You should have looked through it for personal details and reported them.
Did look through the rubbish but no personal evidence. People like that will ruin it for others with Park closures. Thanks
Noice. Can ya show me ya Microphone setup again pls.
Running GoPro 5 Hero Black, attached a mic adapter from GoPro, the microphone is from ‘COMICA’. Mounting it to a helmet all depends on the style of helmet. I will create a short video on my set up.
@@DodgerMohr That be great - thanks
Hey Dodger, thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. As regarding the tyres, in our Versys-X club, Metzeler Tourance is a very popular tyre model. It has great performance on both offroad and asphalt. Some prefer Continental TCK80 though. Can you explain why replacing the front sprocket only? I know that either they tend to replace both, or none.
I’m going on a recommendation, On the open road the bike cruisers about 100km per hour @ 7-8k rpm, hoping by changing the front sprocket it reduces the rpm at high way speeds, plus stretch out 1st gear. Will see when I drop it in for service.
@@DodgerMohr Ah, you mean replacing it for 15 pin sprocket. Sure, I have done that some timd ago.
@@xandervanced6058 So how did you find it, was it an improvement.
@@DodgerMohr The one tging I can tell is I feel loss of power on low revs. So probably on the next service I put back the stock sprocket just to confirm that
@@xandervanced6058 Let me know how you go. Interested!
On'ya, Dodger! Here's to 100,000.
What about the Mitas EO-7+?
Ray here, from the wilderness near Durango, Colorado. I've been running E07+ on my X300 for nearly two years now. I highly recommend them for a 50/50 tire. I live 5 miles from pavement in any direction - gravel roads are fairly well maintained. But I also ride remote US Forest Service roads, some fairly good, some pretty rough. On one particular hill the E07+ tires really surprised me - steep, fairly loose dirt/rock mix for 200 yards, but the X300 and E07+ tires went right up it. I just kept the bike going about 5-7 mph and no problem. The tire also performs well on pavement. Very, very slight buzz when brand new, but not much at all. You might also look a the new Dunlop TrailMax Mission. The US Company "Chaparral Motorsports" has posted RUclips vids on 50/50 tires and also a separate one on the TrailMax Mission tire - they love if for all-round 50/50 use. HAPPY RIDING!!! - Ray, in southwest Colorado.
What year is your VX3? Mine is a 2021 and it sounds quite a bit different than yours does.
Bought in 2020, stock exhaust, could be the audio on the GoPro.
Greetings!
I’m a new subscriber. Do you mind telling me what kind of helmet you are wearing? Do you like it?
Thanks!
Thanks 🙏 Helmet is a Arii Tour Cross. It’s about 10 years old, very comfortable hence the reason helmet has not been updated. It’s been a great helmet & most like will update my helmet for a newer version.
@@DodgerMohr Thanks!
