I have a small ADV bike now, but when I had a gnarley dual sport I wouldn't even stand up for 55 MPH speed bumps. I reserved the bouncing technique for small cars in traffic.
I really liked how you elaborated on different terrains and the mindset of analysing them and acting accordingly. I respect and trust your experience and therefore would like more of this type of content. You could have just shown the "trick" but you went the extra mile and did it properly. It is appreciated, thank you!
Especially on loose terrains, after compressing the fork, instead of trying “pulling” up the bike shift your weight to the back of the bike (a bit as you’d do on a steep descent). When the suspensions will rebound you will have more traction from the rear wheel and the front wheel shall come up. As for the rest, very good considerations and hints 😊💪🏻👍🏻
I've been a mountain biker for 20 some years (mostly endurance racing 6-24 hours) and I just got my 1st motorcycle, first of all, its so comfortable and it feels very familiar , certain principles like counter steering, not breaking on turns, lifting your wheel over obstacles, conserving energy ,are the same for both and I was doing them instinctively, I realized this later when I was watching your videos. , can't get enough of it or your videos Just getting use to 400lbs vs 30lbs. Lol.
John, thanks for the note, and welcome to a new 2-wheeled endeavor. I always loved the juxtaposition of going from a morning on the mountain bike, being someone "surgical" with regards to where I put my front wheel, to then hopping on the dirt bike in the afternoon and no longer needing to be so particular about what I roll over. Fun stuff for sure, and yes, many similarities. RIDE on! ---- Eric
First off, I’m 100% sure my man parts are bigger than yours. Now that we have that out of the way, ... awesome vid, once again. I’ve learned so much from your channel. Love when I have something new to practice!
You got that right, anyone's parts are bigger! : ) Thanks for commenting, and we're having fun making these, although the dick-joke stuff was supposed to be edited-out in final edit. Alas, it remains for the world to enjoy into eternity.
Hi Eric, big thanks for your great videos. i really learned a lot. Keep it up. Wonderful channel for AVD Riders. THX and greetings from Germany. MFG Daniel
They're out there, so grab one! One of the world's most expensive hobbies, but going with a used Yamaha/Honda/Kawasaki/Suzuki (the most reliable) and keeping it upright sure helps keep the costs down. Thanks for commenting.

Riding a Kenton GL150 on a paved road in San Lorenzo, Paraguay with my wife on the back I came around a truck straight at a deep meter wide hole in the pavement. I went back to all that time mountain biking and jumped hard. Never felt the hole. We would have crashed hard. Wife had no idea why I stood up.
Nice move! One of those moments when, a little more speed (along with the bounce) actually helps us avoid crashing. Yikes, glad you made it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. Took us a while to catch our stride, but yea, we're up and running with steady production, and having fun....with more videos ahead. Thanks again, and RIDE on!
Thanks for all of your great instructional videos. I wish I had practiced this before my TAT encounter last year with the cattle guard with a washed out road leading to it resulting in a bent rim costing $1000 to replace.
Ugh, it does happen, eh. Often those cattle guards are pretty smooth-edged, but yea, if neglected, that 2-3 inches of 'steel wall' is a lot for even a 21" front wheel to handle. Glad it sounds like you avoided injury at least. Thanks for sharing.
very good advice even for onroad (potholes, debris) the backwheel is wider then the front, and is dragging instead of pushing, so even if you can only relieve pressure from the front tyre (onroad or offroad) the chance of damage significally reduces so even sitting down on-road, pushing in the suspension and giving throttle to lift up the front tyre is good practise
Yep, the front wheel is typically the far greater concern of the two, and having weight off of it increases the chances of clearing an obstacle safely, and avoiding damage. Thanks for commenting.
I taught an intro to ADV class yesterday. And I'm going to share this out to my clients, if that's okay? Reinforces what I would say as we got over some small obstacles. I am stoked that I was definitely not saying anything contradictory to this!!!
Good advice. I do this comfortably... on my trail bycicle. Different story with a 200kg fully-sprung machine, still working on it but a little clutch dumping helps me lift the front wheel.
Wish we could clinch and "pick-up" these big adventure bikes like a +/- 25lb bicycle. But yea, glad you see the parallel, and hopefully can use it when needed. Clutch definitely pops the front up some, depending on traction. Maybe a little tougher to figure the timing on, compared to just pure throttle. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent, it's on the list for our next filming season. We may struggle to find ruts around here in Central Oregon (need precipitation usually to make ruts) but we'll find something. Thanks for the good idea.
Good video. My question is: that’s ok for adventure bikes, but what about KLRs? JK; the techniques are even more important with a bike that has less ground clearance than my Sportster and FXR (Harleys).
Great How to video, these are awesome, keep it up, you're doing great!! 👍👍 And for those who may make jokes about the size of the log, they just need to remember how they start it their riding jouney!
Ha, yea, that part about the log-size was supposed to be edited out, as this technique of bouncing really only applies to small-ish obstacles like shown anyway. Oh well, we'll have fun with it forever. Thanks for commenting and the feedback!
Perhaps should have mentioned to neebs, that worst can happen, if You slow down into obstacle. Brake or engine brake into a log and the ground comes fast.
Excellent point that yes, should have been mentioned, but somehow we missed explaining. Others in comments below have asked about using the front brake to compress the forks even more when approaching the object, but along the lines of what you're mentioning, that puts us at huge risk of mis-timing it all, and making the situation much worse than if we had just rolled-over the obstacle without any compression. --- Thanks for pointing that out.
Nice tip, however, I try to bounce by applying front brakes just at the last moment n releasing it plus the upward pull on handle bar, that seems easy as during brake the shockers gets compressed and hence easy to lift it when it's bouncing back, but all in a split of a second, timing is critical
Yea, if you can pull it off, go for it! Wow, tough timing though, and if you get it wrong and are then driving the weight of the bike down into the obstacle, instead of up and away from it.....could be a disaster. Thanks for commenting.
My 1290 SAS is heavy, so it is difficult to get it bouncing. I find a dab on the brakes right before an obstacle, then hauling up on the bars as I gas it helps lift the front wheel.
Great thoughts although you didn't talk us through the actual technique. I would like to have seen a demonstration and walk through the ideal process, then go through your thoughts / reminders. Great content, so I know what I should think about but you didn't demonstrate the process succinctly. You have great content, there is no need to 2nd guess whether other riders are doing videos on more aggressive techniques than you - this is an introduction, and a realistic example of what an adventure bike can do. I ride a Tiger with a weeks worth of camping gear, I'm not jumping huge logs, I'm looking to make my journey safer with smart techniques like this. Well done.
Thanks, yea, the extra luggage and camping gear will be a factor and reason to re-bounce test the suspension before an actual obstacle. Thanks for the note. Thought we walked/talked through the process and techniques pretty well, but maybe another video is in order.
Do you ever touch the front brakes to help load the front suspension? Obviously traction has to be taken into effect. I am a smaller rider for a big bike and it seems that body weight alone may not be enough to compress the front suspension to pop the front up. Thoughts?
Good question, coming from we assume, Colorado : ) I personally do not touch the front lever in this case. Bringing my body weight down compresses it enough, without one more thing to have to coordinate. Not to mention brake lever control being a bit tougher to manipulate with precision from the standing position. --- Indeed, if a rider isn't heavy enough to compress fully, the front brake could assist....but that is a lot to coordinate in a sensitive timing-related situation. Nothing says you need 'full' compression of the suspension though. The bigger the bounce, perhaps the better, but the main thing is to at least have your weight, and the bike's weight hopefully moving upward as you 'glaze' over the obstacle. Thanks for the good question. ----- Eric
Excellent question. I think the main thing is just understanding and knowing that anti-squat is a characteristic of the bike, and that it won't squat like others. In that regard it may take a little getting used to when lifting the front wheel and such, but just like we adapt to any bike, it's easy to figure out. Thanks for asking. --- Eric
Hi my question is how many kilometers the adventure motorcycle engine can do before it's stop warking... like 800 gs fore can its pass 200 thousand km like a cars
Good question, anyone ready to share their top mileage? We have last I saw, Ken and Carol Duval from Australia had something like 450,000km on their old 1980/82 BMW R100GS. Even with a broken piston skirt, I believe it was running just fine.
790 TC in rally mode or offroad mode does not impede your ability to lift the front, in fact it helps put the power to the ground in low traction environment, when you pop the clutch to extend your fork.
Hmm. TC should at least impede the ability to some degree, as TC limits power to the rear wheel. Yes, still possible to lift the front, but even at 8/9 level TC in Rally? Guess we'll have to try next time out for a ride.
@@RIDEAdventures it only limits power in so far as it limits wheel spin. it’s reactive not proactive on the 790. wheel spin doesn’t help you lift the front, it’s what stops you from lifting it if you twist the throttle too much. have a look at any of the Jarvis training videos where he does slow wheelies - it’s an excellent exercise and i find that i can do them easier on the 790 with tc than on a 500, because you only need tiny amounts of throttle and good clutch and suspension timing - and both bikes have far too much power. hell in soft stuff like in the video you can overspin the wheel even on an 85 no problem. balancing is of course harder due to weight :)
@@EugeneYunak, good points. Although there's no such thing as too much power : ) (Kidding. But also sort of not kidding.) In such soft terrain as in the video, a bunch of wheel spin still might be preferred over a sputtering engine, as at the very least, the bike is trying to rotate itself backward/upward. Just as in mid-air over a Triple, Eli Tomac can use throttle to raise the front end, after he gets another lousy start, and has to pass half the field to take a podium.
@@RIDEAdventures you right that a revvy engine such as 790 does not like to be pushed down low. adding revs and slipping the clutch more helps with that. the trick is to pop the clutch & jump straight to the right amount of slippage very quickly, at the exact moment when the suspension is at maximum compression. too little slippage = wheel spin, too much = not enough lift, too early = small hop, too late = slightly bigger hop, release the clutch too slowly is the same as too much slippage (basically they are all kinda similar except the first one, you just don’t get real lift). you seem to be doing it well but maybe this will help others. btw in-air maneuvers also don’t need much throttle - tapping the brakes or upping the revs slightly is enough to rotate the bike.
"Double blip?" Assuming you mean something acrobatic, check out what Pol Tarrés has been doing with a Tenere 700. (Okay, not quite 500lbs, but pretty close.) -- ruclips.net/video/eDxBGc9TD4c/видео.html
@@RIDEAdventures He does it a couple times at different points in the suggested movie. Quick thrust to pop the front tire then a second thrust to launch bike over. I was thinking a two foot log, but the Tenere handles a four foot block, so I guess I will go see what I blow out. I'll start with a one foot log. :-)
Terrence, wish we could help, but without any specific experience, it'd be tough to make suggestions. Probably make sure you're starting first in slower paved situations, and once you both know how to "flow" together, progressively try a little dirt, easy stuff, and build-up from there. Meanwhile, we'll enjoy the image of you two guys with huge smiles, glowing over the freedom and feeling of an adventure ride. RIDE on!
