@@aluisious no disagreement here

I love the knee skim when you're just cooking!

Body positioning is irrelevant on the street. If you need it, you’re certainly going over twice the speed limit.

⁠@@aluisious irrelevant if you are going the speed limit like my grandma in her car 😄

You'll never understand until you own a bike. .don't judge what you don't know

I have owned several bikes but all prior to 1995. My 1st was the Kz1000 in 1980-81. It was fast for the bikes of the day & I've had a couple of dirt bikes. I see the carnage on some of the famous Twisty Roads & it's great if you want to lean over but the second you're going over the speed limit You have decided to endanger every person out there. I'm not judging anyone, I think it should be done on closed areas(tracks). I'll be back out riding soon enough & I doubt I'll go to the places that they do their knee dragging but when speeding & doing this style of riding on ANY public roadways, it shows a disregard for the laws & other drivers. That's all I'm saying about it. Not judging them as I have been a Rider from before you were born. most likely. You take it easy & be wise in how you ride when other people's life hang in the balance of how good/bad a rider that you are? I hope/pray you never wreck & that you go 1/4 inch over every turn w/ your knees. Be safe is my only consideration b/c nothing else matters....... peace

@@user-dv7hb2sc9m nobody buys a fast bike to go slow. . The speed limit has got nothing to do with safe riding practices and the limit of adhesion. Any speed is safe or unsafe depending on rider and circumstances. You are obviously not familiar with safe speeding practices. .and I suppose nor are the manufacturers since they make them hey. .well just another lobbyist that will keep robbing our freedom until we have nothing left. .bikers endanger mostly themselves and not others . .not exactly like tin cage drivers who don't care to indicate and can very likely kill others so I guess we should all walk from now on.

I'm more on your side than you even know but you're not speaking about right to bear arms or free speech, I get why b/c I owned one of the faster bikes of my day & I did ride her fast. Took me years to understand how greedy I was to think that I could do that w/o taking something from other people, their health. But I get it & IF there's something called on for "Safe Speeding", please share it here so I might take that to Court to argue my citations? I agree that riders mostly endanger their own body.... mostly? You haven't seen cars crash trying to avoid a motorcycle but now the cycle riders have turned it into an Us vrs Them scenario & it's not. Send me the link for safe speeding cuz I do want to look at the thing. I'd be with fighting to own w/o paying for tags, title, & BS like that >?> I'm with you all the way & I've been in the fight over government stuff since I first voted in 1980. I'll be out there soon w/ you & maybe you'll catch me lowering a knee but mine hurt pretty much these days. Fight for the Constitution, that's being taken but gas engines are on the chopping block as well. I'll be fighting it until I die so ride safe b/c we will need you after I go.... need lots of people to try to keep from losing it all...... peace man

Hope to have you out at the school!

hell yeah lets gooooooo!

@@mathieusynnott8915 totally!

@@prominence2826 I like if you’re doing a rebuild anyway. Def like the ecams, but as I get older I seem to like em more and more stock honestly

@@Blucru90 let’s be honest. Both you and I cannot touch the capability of either one, so just get what makes you happy

@@Car_Editz10 best is just to throw some eBay scooter tires on the stock rims and just go rip! Folks are way too focused on 17s and 12s imho

@@socalsupermoto ok 👍 thank you

@@Szlejer pretty much. And it would been the same results. When we did the student races the staff always would go out on ttr125…so yeah

That's actually my next vid. I'm ok with knee dragging but I want to see perfect lines, smooth, fast transitions, and early gas, THEN I'll talk to students about backing it in or dragging knee.

I do whatever pipe you like, stage 2 (I like it a little rich), remove snorkel and just ride the hell out of it!

Only after rejet! I like any slip on, stage 2 rejet which is a little rich not much, and remove snorkel

@@socalsupermoto Thanks! This makes sense to me and I’d rather not cut the air box but why do you think JD Jet and Dynojet both say to cut the 3x3 hole in the airbox? It surprises me thats part of their instructions.

@@phistry810 that’s a new edition. Either that or I just never bothered to read that far :) everyone can do what they want, but after owning around 100 drzs I’m not doing it

@@socalsupermoto Yeah, I’d like to try it your way first so I don’t have to cut the airbox up. Thanks for the response.

that's the man

it was 3 things with subdivisions!

it was literally the best riding I've ever seen

The key is not being married to a style, and just doing what works best!

@@dougwellington personally no but a friend has one who races and loves it!

hold on tight with them knees and breathe! but that's why pros spend so much time training on bicycles

post up and lemme know!

@@socalsupermoto Finally got a chance to put it in, at first with zero adjustments it ran terrible (shocking). After swapping out the main jet to a 155, the awful float bowl screws, and setting the mixture screw back to 2 turns out it fires right up and runs great! The bike will do 3rd gear power wheelies with a nice yank of the throttle and compression of the forks. I'm stoked!

@@josepcidraque2774 yew!!!

@@user-dv7hb2sc9m I think supermotos scramblers and dual sports are all the exact same thing, with a slight difference in focus

And you know by my questions that I'm trying to learn all about the different flavors.... lol, we have more than enough choices of bikes & accessories so all we need to know is our own, "Intent". Mine above is stated & being a good rider is paramount to safely arrive to my destinations. I do appreciate the thoughts in this video, it made a lot of sense but I'm not so sure that Riders know or understand it? I want to understand if it keeps me alive & no doubt these things that racers do will help the average Rider. That's why I'm here so I thank you for your video & time.... peace

Okay...what are the three things 😮😅

Have you had 7 minutes to watch his video? I don't even own a bike but here's his expert opinion as it applies to Super Moto riding in their forums; Get Boring on "BP" Bike Position Look at where you get on the gas Breathe These ARE His "3 Things" but you need to hear him explain what they mean & how to do it. Do you ride a bike and do you want to get better? I'll tell you these things apply to EVERYthing done on a bike for the street so try to pick up what you can understand from him >> What you learn might save your life. Good luck, peace & GB

honestly I don't know how one could adjust how much of the travel their using? obviously if you jump or ride hard you'll be using more, slow and steady less. Until you're racing simply don't worry about it, simply ride in a manner that keeps the suspension moving slowly and you'll be smooth!

@@socalsupermotoThanks 🙌🏼

best power mod is learning how to ride and get on the gas quickly. Best gearing for getting the front end up is learning how to ride. Power mods are last on the list after ergonomics mods, brake mods, suspension set up, learning how to ride, trackdays, THEN power mods. Most people are slower after power mods while feeling like they are faster

sorry can't remember the links, we're not that smart...

all of our brains were so cooked and your "wildcard part" was hilarious

@@socalsupermoto the whole thing was pretty funny. Great job winning on the dizzer though! That was dope.

yeah we're super super good at having fun!

@@thepoastman209 absolutely. 450 fits into more classes but there’s usually a open class

still buzzing from it!

@@marksvideochannel3592 if you got one bring it down and we’ll race!

@@socalsupermoto Would love to but SoCal is a bit of a ride from New Zealand :)

fun as shit, hoping to make it a semi regular thing

you'll love both!

Yes, I'll be happy with most of my picks & I've come to the conclusion that no matter what I wind up with, it will be what I need w/ a few mods. I've got 9-10 bikes on my list & I've got all the mods needed for each dual sport along w/ the cost to do those things. If fact, know all this will make me more able to recognize what mods a used bike has just because I've done all the research. But even videos like this one are a help & it's fun what ya'll did here. Thanks for the video & your time, Sir >> peace

on it!

the less leg injuries is huge on it's own!

You're gonna do rad and stoked to have you!

True about doing the maintenance, you gotta do it on these bikes & it's too much money not to take care but the things about the DRz is exactly why I'm looking at it to buy. But Yamaha/Honda offer some bikes that you don't need to check the top end for 20,000 miles...... that's a great selling point for those w/o the ability or money to do higher end maint. type stuff..... peace

Respectfully there’s a lot of bikes that have a ton of issues after buying new, and a European bike purchased new with no issues down the road is the exception not the rule in supermoto. Vor, vertimati, husqvarna, husaberg, Ktm, all usually are a pita, or a worthy of some maintenance depending solely on perspective

I've read that especially the European Bikes have high maintenance needs/costs & some problems. But I'm certain all bikes have their own weaknesses that YT Channels find & repair as part of their "content"? Since I've not ridden in yrs now, I'm researching hard trying to sort thru all the pros/cons. That's why I'm here at your humble abode, because I happen to like your approach & I ask questions b/c I have no real clues = that's how I learn since I don't actually have any bike yet. If I had money, I would buy any of the bikes you mentioned but not having much, I'd buy from reliable names who don't require a lot of maintenance. But it's true they all have stuff but I'm finding it difficult to determine if it's stuff that needs to be done or just a Channel looking for content? It does confuse me somewhat but again I come here to sort things out & you kindly help. Thanks for sharing man... peace

Your question is flawed and includes the assumption that “more flow” is better. The 3x3 mod is garbage and the motorcycle doesn’t know if you are on the track or street.

@@socalsupermoto DAMN ur cooking me dawg💀🙏🏽 I was really curious and just wanted to know But what is better for the performance then if u know? Cause I don’t Let Me KNOW💯

​@@socalsupermotoSo what are you saying?! You ain't a mechanic of any sorts. Never actually seen you do anything lol. That's your OPINION! PERIOD!🤦 Not facts, learn the difference!!! And yes more air is good, "better" for an engine. WTH🤦

​@@FawNeonVIIdo the mod bro! This dude goes in circles on a tiny track & thinks he knows everything about SM lol. Maybe for him it works. Fact is your bike is choked down from the factory for different reasons, they all are now! Do the 3x3, get that exhaust & whatever else. You'll thank me👍. FYI, more air is always better, may require more fuel but then you making more power.🦾🔥

@@rocknraptor3195 Breathe brother. Maybe go for a walk? Pet a dog? Reach out to a old friend?

even more so for street

They're phenomonal. Nobody hammers and jumps drz wheels more than us and they hold up awesome!

thanks!

Same same! The point here is to not assume a pad is good of bad based on price. I absolutely hate those red carbon ebc pads. personal faves are the galfer sintered. They just always work well

You Sir are an expert in bikes... lol, I'm old & looking to buy soon but my knowledge concerning brakes is just common sense. Stopping is Critical !! I'm curious about the aluminum rotors used on bikes ; do they have any problems like getting bent easy or warping due to heat? Thought I'd ask someone who pushes parts to the extreme..... peace & thanks for posting up

I mean i love to ride and i'm over wrenching. a dr650 w 17's and uncorked exhaust is one of the best street bikes ever

With our brake pad budget we atleast had to try em!
