I’ve have ridden dirt bikes from the age of 3 until I was 18. Had a 250f for a few years and rode plenty of 450s. It’s all throttle control hahaha. I wanted it to feel like I just jumped on a cheetah in a phone booth 🤣
@@scottskyhawks20Im about to get the same bike you got, same year 450, have you adjusted any of the suspension at all yet? If you have how much do you weigh? I have a feeling the front end is gonna beat my ass too😅 hell im only 140lbs.
@@jamal4381 I’m 158/160 and no I haven’t. Suspension is extremely stiff. For a motocross track with big hits it would be good. For trail riding or just beginning on a track I would turn my compression clicks 4 to the left. Which is what I’ll be doing on my next ride
@@Marylandtrailrider700rWest Virginia, part of that was on an old strip mine called Hobet, which if you google you can see satellite images of from space
Soften your compression. Check your rebound. Compress front shock and see if it stops after one big push. If it rebounds twice it’s too much. Should only return one time to position. You should have kyb suspension that’s best stock suspension out. Showa sucks. Showa deflects way too much. Consider a 250 unless you wanna pay for Ktm or husky. 250fx great option. 450s hard to ride here. They flame out so easy.
@@Shiftjockey suspension is good now I adjusted it and softened it up, it was just new and super stiff. Honestly I don’t have any issues on it now or flaming out really. Only if it gets super tight and technical. But the bike ain’t made for that. I bought it for the power house and most of the woods riding I do is pretty open and it does fine. I would like to try a ktm 300xcw for my next bike though
Well honestly every woods edition bike I have personally ever rode I thought lacked in power. I have not ridden any of the newer ones so I can’t speak on those.
@@datKTM_125sx so I have the Hero 11 Black. As for settings I have it set to 2.7k at 60 FPS with lens set to superview. Hypersmooth is auto boost. Bit rate high. Hope that helps
Also, exporting the video is just as important as having the right GoPro settings, if you export it at a crappy bitrate the video will turn out too look bad.
That thing's gotta be like riding a bucking bronco with the stock suspension. We can see it beating you up. Please invest in a good suspension setup. I'm sure there's one local to you. If not, I can recommend a good one up here in the northeast. Great video.
Yes, definitely meant for the track which I will take it to, but for the woods I’m going to turn the compression down 3 clicks on the forks and set the rear sag. That should help tremendously. At the slow speeds I was going it’s rough but when it warms up and I can get on it I’ll want the suspension a little stiff
Let's go, bro! Nice first video!
“Gonna try to stay out of mud” proceeds to wheelie through 3 holes 😂 , nice first vid though man!!
Aye only the back wheel touches on a wheelie 🤣
first bike in 10 years and you picked the powerhouse of powerhouses😂 Good video though!

@@scottskyhawks20 Haha hell yea dude. keep posting👍
@@jamal4381 as soon as this snow goes away I’ll be doing a lot of videos. Motocross tracks, hill climbs and trail riding

Awesome💨
I just got a 09 450 today. Thing is a monster
yea they are no joke, twist it and rip it
Keep the trail riding videos coming
There will be plenty more, just let it warm up a bit it’s winter time at the moment so not much riding
Go thru that with a wheelie fella on that 450 awesome bike I have a 2009
Nice looking trails
thanks man, it's winter time here so when it warms up ill show more trails. I can ride for days and not hit the same trails twice
@@scottskyhawks20 nice same here in Maryland what state?
@@Marylandtrailrider700rWest Virginia, part of that was on an old strip mine called Hobet, which if you google you can see satellite images of from space
@@scottskyhawks20 cool will do have tou been out Hatfield ? I wanna make that truck that’s about 7 hours from me tho
@@Marylandtrailrider700r yes, I can do some GoPro footage of those trails as well if you want
Definately want one
Thank You Very Much For Sharing 👍
Send it!!!!!

@@scottskyhawks20 that’s what I like. Just so pricey. Plus idk where Ktm is headed right now
@@Shiftjockey yep, definitely makes the decision tougher to buy one or not, not knowing if you could still find parts a few years down the road
Where is this location great looking trails great vid
This is in southern WV
Thanks
Makes me want to go white tail hunting
There is some good ones there
Sick 🔥🔥
Stay tuned, that was the first video as a test run. The next one will be much better
Nice video. How come you chose the 450f over the 450fx?
Well honestly every woods edition bike I have personally ever rode I thought lacked in power. I have not ridden any of the newer ones so I can’t speak on those.
Where are these trails what state??
West Virginia
They look nice one day I’ll hit them 🤙🏾🤙🏾
BRAP BRAP BOYZZZ!!!!!
Where you located at brotha? Would love to get a ride going on with ya!
Are you going to be afraid to get mud on it too?
@@jayherman159 If you don’t like the video then don’t watch it.
Nice ~~o}>
What State ?
You Should Cut In A Circuit In Those Woods ☀️
🌲
West Virginia, and yea I could on some of the trails that aren’t heavily ridden
@@scottskyhawks20
I Have A 2011 KX450F

Are those bikes reliable?
@@1911ang so far no issues man, just gotta keep the oil and air filtered changed regularly and you’ll be fine
Suspension needs to brake in that’s all brand new bike
*break*
Pa pa pa pa Pa
That bike is made to fall 40 feet out of the air because it's a motocross bike. That's why it's suspension is so stiff.
Not super stiff now, just wasn’t broke in. Feels really good at the moment
Mud is what they are made to ride in
I mean it is called a “dirt bike” not a “mud bike”
Look scared of it
