Found you because my friend is looking at this bike but the fact that you make these bids for your kids is freaking awesome, just got a klr650 and I might have to start doing this as I have a 9year old step-daughter and a 1 year old daughter......seems like really good therapy too!

Thanks! It’s important they know my antics so they don’t wake up one day and see a 60 year old serious man and wonder where my youth went 🤣

@Dad Mode right!? Now we have video proof instead of the old saying "back in my day" Lmaooo these kids don't know what they have coming!

That car that was pulling out in front of you brought back memories of how I was hit and lost part of my left foot.

Congratulations on the new scooter

Cool video 👍 I have the same bike and love it.

What’s the service intervals like?

Loved the video, found it very helpful as I just picked myself up a 501s. What kind of plate holder is that, is that the tacomoto tidy tail?

It’s the sickass I think lol. Taco moto has a couple and they are all solid.

I don't remember the Dad Mode song sounding like that.

My brother writes, performs, and produces music so I asked him to send me one of his songs without vocals 👌🏻

Great vid! Did you happen to consider the 23 FE450 by chance? My dealer has a 23 FE450 with sicass kit I’m picking up, was hoping I wasn’t making a mistake picking it over the 501.

I did but the power wasn’t there. It’s detuned and I hate wiring up the DOT stuff. My buddy has it and is happy with it though.

Great vid. cant seem to make my mind up between this bike and TE300. never owned a 2 stroke. and plus you can tag a 2 stroke for the road now. Only thing that issues me is the Maintenace interval times on the 500's. Mainly be doing wood riding and short distance road rides. ( I also own a XR650L) Also, how does this bike do in first gear on slow single track. any stalling problems? Thanks, Matt

For a stock bike, even without an ecu, it was one of the best performance bikes I’ve had. First gear is great but that’s really preference. I hard enduro and hare scramble mine on top of regular road and bdr stuff. Haven’t felt a need to change gearing. No flame outs but I also put the get ecu on it after break in. A TE300 would be slightly better in woods but terrible on the road.

Arrow CRG on Rottweiler mounts. They are pricey but best on the market. Glass clarity is even superb to anything I’ve ever used.

hi a question how often should the oil and filters be changed on this 501 I am undecided whether to take this or the 701 enduro

500miles thought some go over 1k depending on ride conditions, or once every race. It’s only 1.2L of oil.

How would you compare this to the 701?

@dadmode5545

Жыл бұрын

Just better but they are really different machines. 701 has great power to weight but it’s really a lightweight ADV. this is a very powerful dirt bike at dirt bike weight.
