Thanks that’s what I thought too. It’s easy to look up specs harder to get a feel for what it’d be like owning one.

I agree. I just like to ride and talk sh!t. Lol. Keep em coming

Hey that’s awesome you’ve really been putting the miles on! I recently got a rack and some gear I’m trying to make my way out on a camping trip with it. I haven’t been posting videos because I just got married and then just got back from my honeymoon! But I’ll be making a cold weather video soon! Haha. Gotta get my heated grips installed!

Thanks man! And that’s sick, good to hear! I hope to put some good miles on this riding season, gonna do a video next time I go out. Just a little cold lately haha

Wow thanks man!

I used to ride a sportster, I completely understand lol, literally same progression for me.

Hey thanks man, always nice to find someone local on KZfaq!

Thanks I will! 🫡

Thanks man, gonna do another one soon I have 3k miles now. Still liking it!

Hey thanks man! That’s sick, how’re you liking it so far?

@@DrewCreate I love it man it’s the perfect bike. What mods are you thinking about doing to yours?

Yeah man I like it a lot, it’s a fun little commuter for me but also I goon around on it likes pit bike which is what I like it for. Though honestly, I haven’t ridden in a while, too gross out haha. But yeah it’s a pretty cool spot to ride! Lots of different trails

Thanks!

Nice man! I thought I saw a camo klx going down maitland a while back. Wonder if it was you! Lol.

Hey man thanks for the comment! I gotcha, yeah I shopped around and called like 4 dealers the prices ranged quite a bit from one to the other. The thing that sold me was I got 1.9 % on it with 0 down idk if it was a special thing Kawasaki was doing or what but it made my decision to get it a lot easier. Now I just make sure I drive it to work enough for it to pay for itself lol.

You know that’s a really good point. Thanks!

Hell yeah man that’s sick. Nothing wrong with that. Hope it keeps working out for you. I wouldn’t have minded saving a couple bucks on this! And I am still liking it I need to make another video real soon

Thanks man! Hahah yeah dude it’s always cool to be like, “yep they’re from pa” haha.

Oh that’s good to know! I put kawasakis synthetic oil in it last time but I’ll definitely try that Lucas oil out. I think I’m gonna change it again here directly.

i ran the Valvoline synthetic with a dose of Lucas oil stabilizer. it quieted the trans but still feels notchy. I'll try next time with the Lucas and see what's up.

Sounds exactly like my experience and reasoning. Great fuel economy and a great excuse for a little adventure!

I have a few update videos on my bike as well. Not gonna do bars though. Need the cross brace for mounting stuff. Like your vlogs dude.🤙

Yeah, I really like the versys! Honestly for my style of riding a more touring oriented bike would probably be better because I ride mostly paved with gravel roads with maybe 10% actually off road. I just always wanted an enduro so I went this direction. One day I may have both!

I 100% agree. If it had just a little more it would be perfect. But it’d also probably cost more so 🤷🏼‍♂️.

@@toetagcommies yeah I 100% agree the gas tank is becoming my biggest complaint. I get why it’s small but it’s too small. I ride 60 miles a day so basically I have to get gas every day. I put a rack on it since this and am gonna start carrying extra fuel

Just saw your install vid - CR High. Thanks!

Yep! They end up being just slightly higher than stock which I like.

I’m definitely in the market for some new tires that’s why I haven’t been riding much this winter my rear tire needs replaced big time

I’ll keep that in mind! I haven’t had too many issues with it lately but in the beginning it seemed to happen way too often.

I think mines gotten a little better but hard to say. How many miles you have on yours?

Either the crf300l or klx would be a great choice in my opinion!

Hey thanks for that, I have over 2k miles on mine now and will definitely need to be replacing them soon. Now I just have to decide what direction I want to go with the new tires. I clock a lot of road miles so Im hesitant to go further in the off road ratio but I also don’t want to lose any off road capability.. decision decisions.

If you want dirt tires, Tusk Dsport rear tire is just as good if not better than the D606 and cheaper.

@@airadaimagery692 awesome thanks, I’ll look into them for sure. My rear tires getting pretty bald

Yeah I didn’t do that, I did try and take it easy but manly I just wanted to make sure I was moving through the rpms and not just staying stagnant below 4k. But after 500 miles I just road it like normal

I want to! I need to get a new set of tires here directly then I might bundle up and take it out. Hoping for a good weekend snowfall that could be a cool video

Damn, well glad you’re mostly alright! Could always be worse than a sprained ankle. And honestly I have been riding motorcycles since I was like 15 so I’m pretty comfortable on a bike. It’s just the going fast off road I’m not comfortable with yet and I think that just takes time and experience

So I talked about it a little in the video. Basically for me at 5’11” 170 pounds it will do 65 pretty happily just under or around 7k rpm. You could easily do 65 consistently. Once you hit 70 it’s a little more “buzzy” but at the same time I regularly ride it at those speeds on my commute. I drive 30 minutes to work one way on this bike everyday and average probably 60mph and for some straighter flatter sections will do 70+

@@DrewCreate Guess it just went over my head in the video a bit but regardless thanks for expanding on that more. It seems perfect for me to be honest, I don't see myself needing to ever go more then 65-70 on my local highways so its good to know you can do that comfortably on shorter commutes. I'm 5'9 183lbs so I imagine our experience would be similar.

@@DrewCreate Dope videos by the way bro def been enjoying them!

@@slyjb8733 thanks man! But yeah sounds like it’d be a pretty good fit! I had it at 87 the other day on a slight downhill. It was screaming pretty good and I definitely didn’t love it either lmao.

@@DrewCreate That's just cool that you can even do that on a 300cc dirt bike though haha. I just picked mine up a couple days ago actually and I been loving it, got a 2024 in the grey color and its so sick.

Idk if it was a specific number, more of a gradual thing. But if I was putting a hard number on it I’d say around 1200 miles or so

Hey yeah I wasn’t riding very hard in the video but I probably should wear some sort of body protection in the future! Thanks for the comment!

Hey thank you, I was wearing boots and I usually do wear gloves though I didn’t in this video! But I hear ya, I’d like to keep my skin where it belongs if I can!

I really need to, any recommendations?

Alpinestars Tech 3 works great and not too expensive. I ride the Tech 7 and love them@@DrewCreate

Yes it needs to be inspected

They’re the crf highbend contour bars

You can get them from a bunch of different places so I’d shop around

Yep pretty much, even when just riding pavement a duel sport is justified in pa! lol

Lawrence county pa

I ended up paying 7,200 out the door

@@DrewCreate 🤣🤣🤣

@toetagcommies yeah the first dealer I talked to wanted 8600!

Agreed

No I pay 205 a month for my bike payment and I would be paying around 400 dollars a month on gas in my truck. So between the gas I use in my bike, the insurance for the bike, and the payment. I’m doing a little better than just paying for the gas in my truck. If that makes sense.

@@DrewCreate makes complete sense 😋
