Ultralight ADV - 20days/3200miles solo on a KTM 350 EXC-F (Mosko Moto R40 packed, tools, gear, etc)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июл 2024
- This video walks through what I pack and where I pack it on my KTM 350 EXC-F dirt bike for long-distance, "ultralight" adventuring. All my tools weigh less than 7lbs (four bags), and remaining gear (tent, camp kitchen, sleep gear, town/camp clothing, misc.) weighs about 35lbs total (including weight of bags). Total riding weight is ~350lb.

Oil Changes - This seems to be the most asked question in the comments. Basically I think the service intervals are way over-rated. 15hrs is ridiculous IMHO. I'm going at leisurely "touring" pace, not crazy race pace. So, I did one oil change in Moab (about half-way through the trip) and it was fine. Cleaned the air filter and replaced the fuel filter, too. These EXC bikes can literally go around the world (google Aaron Steinmann: blog.ktm.com/around-world-ktm...) so the oil changes are not a big deal.

Thanks for this Chris Miksovsky, have researched further and bought a few of the items you carry. Much appreciated. To add...women's pads are light, thin and very absorbant for oil, gas, blood spills; visor wipes; Active Duty insect repellent and sunscreen, small bottle, does it all, not the best for your skin but effective for short trips and camping; Seal Skinz socks if you're doing lots of river crossings; a couple of big stainless cable ties for the hot areas, you can cut to size; eensy weensy spray can of WD40; a couple of pre-rolled j's for sunsets and if it all goes really well, or really badly.
Wow, a lightweight, manageable adventure motorcycle with a very compact, unobtrusive luggage system, yet every eventuality is covered, so the rider can make any repairs & also be reasonably comfortable on a long trip. It shows there's practical & better performing alternatives to the huge overweight adventure bikes, that can invite troublesome situations off-road, especially when travelling solo - great video.
you should be a salesman
no the seats arent comfy n to light windy indesert but doable
20 Days!! Outstanding Chris! See- you can go indefinitely with the right setup and good weather. Juan Nevada City, Ca.
Nicely equipped, Chris. Thank you. I remember carrying baleing wire and nylon fishing line 60 years ago!
My pleasure. Those are both classic repair items, even today. Zip ties are pretty handy, too. Safe travels.
Great break down of your kit!!! I like "real life" vids, no fluff, just facts!!! Good stuff.
Steve James thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Safe travels.
That was real solid, Chris. Smart choices. Quality, carefully selected gear. I took some notes on things to adopt. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to show us what you pack. This helped me to prepare for my trip. Thanks!
Cool. I’m glad it helped. Have a great trip!
Great comprehensive video. Always like to see some innovative tools like you have.
Thank you for this very informational and aspirational video. It's always good to see how someone else does something. That's more true when it's someone who just logged a 3200 mile trip of adventure riding. I picked up a few good tips!
I'm an older returning rider with a bit less adventurous adventure motorcycle intentions (G310GS instead of the KTM), but I'm coming at this from an ultralight hiking and camping perspective, and I like to keep it simple. I try to select items with multiple uses. I bought 50 feet of 3.2mm Kevlar cord that has a 1200 pound breaking strength. It's overkill for general lashing and clothesline duty, but it packs as small as paracord, the high melting point is exhaust friendly, and I can also use it to tow another bike or wench a bike up a steep incline with an improvised windlass, although the mini pulleys you have look great. I have a machine shop and resin 3D printers that can make structural parts and I might try to make a set of ultralight but strong pulleys.
If I know I'll be traveling where there are trees, I'll take my Hennessy Hammock. It's ultralight, provides a great night's sleep, has a rainfly that covers the bike, has mosquito netting, and can be used as a camp chair when cooking or lounging around camp.
My tool roll isn't much larger than yours, but like you, I have a mountain bike pump instead of an air compressor. Sure, it's time consuming and tedious but it requires no electricity and is more inherently reliable. I looked up the model you have and it looks very nice. I bought a Blackburn from Amazon.
I have a few ultralight stove options. 1) MSR Whisperlite International. The heaviest of the options but it uses unleaded gasoline which I always have on the motorcycle, and it has an adjustable heat output which is good for simmering. 2) My hand made alcohol pop can stove is 0.3 ounces, is surprisingly durable, and there are no moving parts so it's extremely reliable. I could made another on the road if needed. The yellow containers of HEET fuel additive are available at almost all convenience stores so fuel on the road isn't a problem. Alcohol doesn't vaporize well below 40F, but I don't like riding and camping in cold weather anyway. 3) Solo twig stove and mating stainless pot. Burns twigs or pine cones so fuel is readily available and doesn't need to be carried, although that's more of an advantage on an extended hiking trip. Soots up the pan and there's some wood smoke, so clothes have that camped in smell and the smoke isn't as conducive to stealth camping, so I'll probably go with one of the first two options.
Glad you enjoyed it. Sounds like you’ve got a fair bit of experience and know your gear. For what it’s worth, I do think you could sell a few machined lightweight e-pulleys. The Root Designs company that made my titanium pulley set went out of business and it does seem like some people would pay for a nice set of durable but lightweight rescue pulleys. I used Spyderline cord with mine - incredibly strong and still light. Safe travels!
Dude this is awesome! Love the just easy going and very informative video. It’s just plain normal! Even the parts where you are getting the stuff out of the bags.Thank you!Down to earth presentation of the gear that I may want to get for my sons and I!
Thanks. It was pretty off the cuff so I’m glad some people have found it useful. Safe travels!
Great video, I just returned from a trip through Spain on the tet, similar packing and also used the mosko 40. I was on a crf450x which was perfect, although I have a ktm 530exc r that I think may be better suited as it has a 6th gear. So many people told me it was the wrong bike but I know I can get unstuck if I'm on my own and I'm having more fun in the rough stuff
Long live the ultralight adv guys 👌
Thx for taking the time. Looks like a great time.
Really amazing way to carry all required stuff. Lovely. Enjoy the ride...
Well worth watching, thanks Chris you have a very capable setup
Nice set up! See you on the trails!
I love the small containers that sort of can lock together. Amazing product.. Love your compan!
Thanks for your support!
You have some brilliant countryside over there - you are very fortunate!
Great Vid! Nice work with the lightweight set-up and good info on the capacitor - I have same bike and hadn't thought of that! Safe travels...
Great video of your gear, ride looked awesome!
Great stuff Chris, looking forward to my 450 build and Trans European trip 2021. Thanks for sharing your experience :-)
Finally an adventure bike that is rideable, light, and setup for any terrain designed! You built an awesome example! I live in remote CO and ride a 2017 KTM 1090R for fast pavement rides to beautiful and easy off-road adventures. My 2023 KTM EXC-F is perfect for technical and difficult local off-road rides. At 73, and having a Macaw family that I love, my rides are completed in one day, but having two dedicated bikes designed for on/off-road riding, life is good! Thank you for sharing your adventures Chris!
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it. Safe travels.
Wow great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Love the details on what you pack.
I’ve got to get some more adventurous friends like you. I’m down here in Orange County California and have built a 2018 Beta 390 RRS in very similar fashion to your bike. But so far haven’t found anyone who wants to go on three and four day Moto camping trips.
We have an over abundance of Fairweather Harley Davidson riding guys around here..... oh well the search continues for other old fart adventurous souls.

Glad you enjoyed it. It does take time to make these so it's nice to know some people find it useful. Yeah, hard to find people with similar availability, skills, riding interest, etc. That's why solo is sometimes the best/only way. Safe travels!
Excellent information - covers a lot bases. Get the job done. A big thumbs up.
Incredibly clever gear choices
No stone left uncovered Chris, very thorough great vid 👌
What a great overview of your incredibly light set up. Everything so small and useful. I’d be keen to hear about that rack system you are using. THanks for all the well laid out information. I’d say you nailed it with the one arming video technique!
Glad you enjoyed it. The baggage is by Mosko Moto - it’s their “Reckless 40” setup.
This is very inspiring ! It’s sad there’s no more videos posted on this channel.
...down to the size of San Francisco burrito 🤣👍 Nice, honest and straight forward. Good one. Thanks 🙏
Well thought out and extremely useful. Thanks for sharing.
Feedback: great video and good job. Like the way you open everything and show the details. Thats exactly what the viewer is looking for and can then the info becomes useful. i learnt a lot. dont worry about the shadows or one handed operation. your video delivers on the core which the viewers want. keep up the good work. maybe in the future you can make a video and do a checklist of items to carry for a solo adventure trips so others can just follow the list itself. Cheers :)
Sal Qubeq thanks and glad you enjoyed and got something out of it. Safe travels!
Excellent pack list. I have the dark red version of that utensil set! It’s so versatile. Goes with me everywhere.
CrunchyHam Glad you like it. The Duo is one of our best products, imho. We really nailed it on that one. Safe travels and bon appetit!
Great video, that’s a lot like how I want to outfit my KTM
Nice vid and great setup. When you said "SF burrito" my mind went quickly to El Faro's in the Mission.
Ha! I'm missing a good Mission burrito these days!
Thanks for a no frills insight into your ADV set up.. Brilliant stuff 😁
Cool. Glad it was helpful.
Awesome! Happy trails.
Thanks for sharing your cool setup.
Great video. I added a few new items to my wish list. Thanks 👍
Awesome ! Great to see what you carry
Great video, thanks for sharing! I'm currently planning for a trip from UK to Japan (and then who knows), so I'll definitely be watching again and taking notes (/pausing to make purchases!)
Sounds good. Note that links to most of the gear I mention are listed in the video description (click "SHOW MORE"). Safe travels.
Living the dream...
Thank you. Very informative and real.
🇺🇸👍🙏🍾
Moto adventure and tycho, great combo!
Great breakdown! Can't imagine why anybody would thumbs down this (must be moto haters)... Would love to do some solo moto camping on my Berg. Trying to find the balance between lightweight and just enough; looks like you nailed it! And your humble attitude about "promoting" your company makes me want to buy/support you even more.
Thanks. Yeah, don't understand the haters but whatever, seems like most people enjoy it. You should definitely do some solo moto camping - just great. You'll find the balance that works for you after a couple trips. Lots of personal preference in terms of comfort, weight, type of riding, etc. I tried not to turn it into a commercial but I think every designer should actually use the stuff they design to see how things work in "the real world". Safe travels!
Now i know who exactly the owner of human gear. Sir i've been used your product for the last 3 years its great and really good! Thanks for making it.
Hi Somewhere On Earth. Yes, they let me out of the office and workshop sometimes to test gear and come up with new ideas. Ha! I'm glad you've got some of our gear and that's awesome it's been serving you well. There's a lifetime warranty on everything we make, so certainly let us know if you ever have issues. Safe travels!!
Thanks for the shout out to your company. Off to MEC to pick up a smurf blue fork/spoon set. Cheers
Right on. The Duo is a great utensil for moto. Lifetime warranty, too. I think you’ll like it. There’s a gray version of blue isn’t your jam.
Just found this while Googling Mosco Moto vs Giant Loop... Killer video - I love nerding out on this stuff. Subscribed - thank you ... +1 for Juan Browne / Blancolirio 🙌🍻🦅🤙
I have that bladder but have had issues with it leaking from the top lid so I just bought OGIOs 3L hydration pack. Love the spot for your tools!
Thanks much! Great light weight checklist.
great packing list, thank you
Great video. Love the concept. My F800 GSA with gear is a little too heavy for rugged solo adv riding. Considering a 350 exc-f like you did.
The only hold back is the price tag of KTM when considering the extras too.
Thanks for posting.
Honda crf 300 l 🙂
Great informative video Chris glad I found it
Peter Andrews great. Glad you enjoyed it.
Good job. Traveling alone adds a little more self reliance.
Wow thanks for sharing, always glad to see when folks share their adventures and help others: gpsKevin
gpskevin it was memorable! I sent you an email with a bunch of info on closures and re-routes to consider. Hope it’s useful. Cheers!
I hope he takes the routes. Last year I ran into a few roadblocks and near trouble being on private land. Gotta be careful
Very informative thanks Chris
The knipex pliers are the best, I carry 3 in various sizes, you can fix anything with them
Great video.
Another ADV rider who jams Tycho - Nice!
San Fransico burrito… 😂 awesome! I’ve been using the Klymit Static V2 sleeping pad for the last two years, it packs small but still provides enough comfort, although it’s threshold for warmth is above 0 degrees Celsius, at which point I would build an insulation layer of leaves, branches etc. beneath my ground sheet/tent, and it worked just fine.
You’ve got a solid pack going there my friend, some awesome tips. I’m in the process of building my 2020 KTM 500 EXCF for some long distance backroad exploration next season. Thanks for the tip on the Knipex pliers, GAME CHANGER!
Muddy side down!
GnU
Sweet. My next bike may be a ‘24 500 (some big changes coming I hear to that model year). The Knipex stuff is amazing - I got the smallest one and it’s still big enough for an axle bolt if ever needed. See you down the trail.
This was not at all what I expected but I learned a lot! Took notes for things to add to my own packs.
Cool - glad you got something out of it. Safe travels.
Thanks for sharing, impressive compact set up which is important for this style of bike probably one of the better reviews on this subject well done. I also have a plated exc 350 but no luggage system as yet 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. The Mosko Moto R40 is great for this bike and type of riding - enough room to carry everything you need to go for many days, but small enough to force you to carefully consider what to bring. Safe travels.
@@chrismiksovsky5871 have you installed some kind of frame to keep the Mosko system away from the tire and exhaust and for preventing the thing from moving around?
@@C_R_O_M________ no frame. The bags stay held quite well. They include an exhaust shield that moves the bag off the pipe so it doesn’t melt. But otherwise it’s super secure.
@@chrismiksovsky5871 thanks for the clarification.
Me when I thought you unpacked everything: Wow, that's a LOT of stuff!
Chris: in the last two bags ....
Me: THERE'S MORE?!
Nice video man
por fin alguien que entiende el concepto TRAIL
This video should be BDR/Overland 101; I’d take that same loadout on a Harley, ADV, or dirtbike. I’d add a Gore-Tex bivvy and a (luxury) pony saddle blanket and tarp
Great video buddy. It’s good to look at other peoples set up as I tend to overpack. I’d be interested in seeing your trip video if you’ve posted it. You probably have I’ll have a look online. Regards Scott
Glad you liked it. Sorry, no trip video - I focused on the riding and just made this kinda off the cuff. I think going light is the best way to go. Safe travels.
Great job!
Ride mousse and forget it all...
ride safe. Very nice video buddy, details useful. I buy a Knipex, just great...
for 20 days.. this is insanely light. nice
Very nice video, amazing all the useful items you were able to pack into such a small volume. I also have a KTM 350. Love it. Thanks for sharing. 👍
@Jimmy Kamau I have a 450 exc that I like to use for fire roads and more open riding as well as long distance and dual sport. However, I do not like riding asphalt and stay off of it as much as possible. I have a 300 xcw that is a great single track tight quarters bike and a hill climber. The 350xcf-w is an all around great bike. If I had to choose it would be the 350.👍
Hey mate enjoyed your video from here in the UK 🤙
Cool, glad you enjoyed. Safe travels.
Nice video! 👍
Mate. Thanks for that. I run a Himalayan and have a bad habit of taking the kitchen sink with me. Nice to see what it takes to get really light weight. Cheers from NZ
Sure thing. Less is more. I find every trip I usually am able to get rid of something I see I'm never using. Go light, go far, go fast! Cheers.
That was a very informative video. Thank you. I liked that you shot this video at the end of your trip and not the beginning. It seems like you were happy with what you packed.
I would have enjoyed hearing how about the times the SOL bivvy and the pulley system came in “handy”. Those can’t be fun circumstances when needing to use either item, but I bet you were happy to have them when the situation required their use.
Oh, and that Duo fork/spoon combo looks like it’d be great for my camping kit. I just ordered two of them. :-)
ProLeisure thanks, and glad you enjoyed it. Yes, generally I was happy with my gear on this trip. I had to use the SOL bivy and pulley on solo trips I did in Idaho a couple years ago. These were on the “R’Idaho” routes, which are amazing, challenging routes, but not super well-travelled. The first time I was on an “optional” section that saw very little use. The trail disappeared and I ran out of water and daylight trying to backtrack. Had to spend a very cold night out (just ebivy that time). The next summer I went back and on a different route I clipped a branch and went off a steep trail. It took me over four hours to pulley the bike back onto the trail. A black bear came during the extraction. By the time I got the bike on trail it was getting dark so I had to camp out with the same bivy again. No unplanned nights out on the trip in this video but I won’t travel (solo) without those things now. And thanks for getting some Duos - you’re going to love them! Safe travels. Cheers.
@@chrismiksovsky5871 Thanks for the additional info. Those were definitely situations that could have turned out much worse. Glad you had the right gear/tools at the time and got out okay.
I've seen a few videos of the R’Idaho. Wow, there's some very technical riding on that trail.
BTW, forgot to mention, loved your 3D printed GoPro holder. that looks like a great solution and mounting point.
These were some highlights from the second summer with the bear. Friendly guy came within 30’ of me.
ruclips.net/video/vNA907wqHq8/видео.html
@@chrismiksovsky5871 nice!
Cheers great into 😊👍
Awesome video
Might be the only one on youtube to put a 48t on the rear of a 350, glad you like it. I know they come stock on the 500's, ordered one last week for my fe350 to help with the high rpm's on the street with 14/52 setup.
I run a 52T for singletrack, but this trip was much more open road and some pavement, so the 48 made sense. My bike came stock with a 45 (probably for emissions).
Heaven on Earth! SWEEEET
Backpacker....use a coyote bag on a wr 250 r and can go indefinitely with good backpacking gear.. Loved the video. Keep up the good work. I'd like to do the back country route across America but may not be retired early enough to get it done.
Jackrabbit thanks. Hope you can get out there and do it - it’s a great ride.
This is the level of preparedness I aspire to. Great video, thank you for taking the time out of your day to film this.
Turns out I have some humangear stuff already lol. Great products, don't be ashamed of a little self promotion.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks also for supporting humangear. Safe travels.
Wow, pretty sparse. Well organized. I’d recommend the Garmin 601 GPS, very tactical, super small, long battery life.
Your vid was Awesome !
J Alexandr cool. Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh wow, found this video and didn't realize you're a combat robot guy i subscribed to.
Ha! Yeah, I do both. The robots have taken a backseat to moto recently but I'm planning a new robot.
thanks for review; i know I takes time to cut down luggages !!! . BTW You can screw a little photo head on top of your hiking stick to have a monopod ;)' (or drill in top of hiking stick to have a thread and screw on /off photo head ). riding light as light... an endless process, but more fun, less fatigue, bike suffers less, and ride is lot safier...
I agree it's worth the effort to reduce the weight. I've seen that idea before about turning the hiking pole into a monopod (or as a selfie stick) - I may try it in the future. Cheers.
"so im singlehanding this" i see what you did there!
As a backpacker, I love your HumanGear utensils. I picked up a freebee Duo while hiking the PCT in 2017. Really liked it. I use it and the Uno in backpacking presentations I give to Boy Scouts. If the Scouts & Scouters want to have a fork/spoon combo like the Light My Fire, I suggest your products.
Hi Carl. That’s awesome. Curious - did you happen to pick them up at a popular resupply spot in S Ca? As I recall we sent a big box of Unos and Duos there but I never really knew what happened to them. I believe it was run by a couple - very popular spot. Either way, very cool you’re using and enjoying them. And thanks for spreading the word to other Scouts. I was a Scout myself long ago (Life rank). If you ever want to get a bulk supply for a troop or class or something please let me know (contact customer service thru our site and ask for me). Or maybe there’s a way to have Uno/Duo in the Boy Scout gear catalog?
Safe travels and happy eating!!
@@chrismiksovsky5871 Yes, I think it was called 'Hiker Heaven' in Agua Dulce. They handed them out to thru-hikers if they wanted one. I already owned the Uno (was using a long-handled titanium spoon on the hike). I might take you up on your offer next year. I've got two tentative demo's to give in Sept/Oct (if this plague ever is tamped down) and could had out a few to some of the attendees. Again, great product.
That’s the one! So cool they actually got them into hiker’s hands (and mouths). Sounds good about the future plans. Keep us posted. Cheers!
Prelepa avantura
That's awesome!
Wow great places this what i also love to do
Great video. You gave me some good ideas to lighten my load.
Tyco, I have this CD in my van as we speak.
Nice. Great tunes.
Super useful, thank you
Cool. Glad it was helpful. Safe travels.
Chris, thank you for taking the time to put this list together. I have several questions but I first thought I would start with a question about the size of the Kriega R15 pack. Since watching your video I have looked at their pack and it seems very well made and I assume that is why you used it. It does seem a bit small so I wondered if you felt that you could have used a larger one. I have been looking at Klim's Krew Pak but sure like the Kriega quality and simplicity. Wondering if you have more input on size and functionality of these packs for longer trips.
The Kreiga R15 is a great, great pack. I love it. The unique "quad" strap arrangement makes it very easy to put on and take off (no getting your arm stuck like with regular packs). Quality and construction are top notch. I actually own their larger R25 pack too (used only in the city with gym clothes, etc.). For me the R15 is perfect for my ADV. Here's the key - your stuff will fill up the space you give it! Give it more room, and you'll pack more stuff; Have smaller gear, and you'll pack less. The R15 can hold a full 3L bladder and all the other stuff I showed, which more than enough for me.
I love my Husqvarna FX 350, but I'm wary of touring with it because of the small oil capacity and lack of kickstand. Maybe I'll start with some weekend trips.
very good thank you
You have more gear on your bike than I have in my garage.
Kidding! 😅
wow awesome !!! #lifegoals!!!!
not sure I would like to sleep that way trusting a standard? Ktm sidestand.
Nice setup. I landed here because I was looking for images that shows the Acerbis 4 gallon tank on the KTM 350 to see if displaces the shrouds. Now I know but also about the dead battery capacitor. Wow, good to know! Thanks! Have you considered using a bear canister and spray? The spray can also serve for some personal protection.
Glad it's helpful. I wasn't in grizzly country so no need to carry bear spray.
How many hours/miles does the bike have on it? Still in good shape with maintenance?? Looking at a '17 350 with 10,000 miles..
Good video Chris
Wondering why you packed a nail in one of the Gotubbs??
I picked up a Gobites Trio, nice stuff.......RTWPaul recommended this stuff so I bought some......thanks!
I have been trying to pare down my gear for a while and you video helps!
Thanks!
Bryan Henderson Good catch! - I was wondering if anyone would ask about that. I had a get off in Utah that busted part of my Double Take Mirror. In Great Basin NP I tried to fix it with some QuikSteel. I got a few nails from a local store to reinforce the repair (embedded them in the putty). The nail you see was a spare - but normally no need for something like that.
Glad you got a Trio. But if you’re paring down I’d suggest our Duo (that’s what both RTWPaul and I pack). Our Uno is even more minimal. All three are great to eat with.
Very cool
