Share the trails has a new meaning haha! All kinds of critters on this ride for sure. The connecting road was still cool. I carry a chainsaw most of the time and rarely need it. When I don't carry a chainsaw...that's when I need it. Law of averages is suppose eh? :) Going over the narrow log bridge was a challenge. Fun ride for a challenge photo! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome and glad to see you riding and posting videos again. While much of Airline trail is upper intermediate, there are definitely some worn out steep rocky and root sections as shown in your vid. Glad to see you make it. Good job!

Nice riding! Always wondered what this trail was called. I did the first half solo a few years ago and when I got to the road I had had enough. After seeing this video I clearly made the right choice 😂

Also where did you start in the trail? From Town? Were you able to ride the whole thing through private property?

Nice Video. Be sure to hit Klim up or whoever the brand is. If you break a helmet in a wreck most places give you half off the next one if you were the first buyer. Fly did for me.

Thank you for the help i wasnt remember how to do it , Now it's ok SM de France 🇨🇵 !

JIS screwdriver, not phillips.

Helped me out, thanks

Hey Robert I was just thinking of trying this on my KTM 790 ADV. I am also in the club and recently started filming my rides too. I have a lot of the same reservations as you after seeing all the trash the last couple of years. Great ride and info! I think you should film and make the vids YOU want to make.

In the helmet the whole time. Cool

Your video is good no skips that is good

I really wanted to you drive back out!! Been there a 100 times and I have never seen that big of a bike down there. I have taken a TW200 down a few times.

I'm thinking of doing that ride, but on a street bike with a friend, also on a street bike. 100% agree about setting your own pace, or cover it before you swing a leg over your bike.

I know this vid's eight years old, but you have to admire the man's dedication to his art: he's changing the brake fluid in his bike while wearing his helmet the whole time just so he can video it for us. Safety third!

R burgers is gone, the pandemic killed it. FYI, it's not the mohave desert. Now there is a Pride gas station here.

what year is your bike

The clean are valve is really just a hack. It doesn't reduce emissions. It there so the bike can pass emissions inspections. It basically thins out the emissions by adding air to dilute the emissions to a number that is an accepted value per volume of air. I get what you mean about the man hours and stuff. But It would make more sense for time to be spent on it to actually make a difference rather than it not really doing anything. It really means that the emission policing doesn't isn't doing anything if that hack is enough to pass. How many other hacks are being done by other vehicles then. They aren't making the environment better if this passes and you know they know that vehicles do this. It just makes you have to pay more because a company had to create this and some areas you now have to pay for an inspection that is being bypassed by a few tubes.

What time of year was your trip and do you think that I can get to the top/end of rd (Dewey Mine area) in first week of October with a UTV?

Have far is the cat in there?

Merci pour la vidéo je vais essayer de traduire en français

Best bike ive ridden

This guys sense of humor made this video that much better 😂

Spent many years in Yucca area,from around late 93-16,,,our friends and my brothers and i,drive many times up to the mines,back in 97 my brother got 10 goldfish for a buck at Walmart, so we eventually put some in our water tanks that we had for the small gardens we had made, and seen that they were quite hardy,we introduced our close friends to putting goldfish in the cow troughs and water tanks around the area,cause they eat the misquote larvae and algae and need very little oxygen,,, one day ,sometime I believe in 2001 or so they put the goldfish in the upper and the lower ponds,amazing thier still alive and doing well,of course, these are probably the 30th or something generation, their still is gold up in these here hills⛏💰🐠🏞,anyway, I enjoyed your video, it sure is great riding a motorcycle on these here rough roads than any 3 or 4 weeler,it can weeve right through the rocks and anything else that may be in the way,I know well what you had to go through driving on these roads, you had to stop to cool the motor cause hardly any air flow on the motor, same here,especially in the summer time,we usually started out before the came up,so it was cooler,,,crazy thing also,it must've been in 96 our family went up the front way or opposite way from the way you drove, through this here road coming from the haulippai mountain park through mountain roads to Yucca, this though we went in an old rundown 1973 dodge rear wheel, (no 4 wheel) van,which took a quart of oil every 20 miles,no spare wheel,all the tires not the greatest traction, 9 people in the van,no cell phones either and tools too,drove Alright until we came on a sharp turn upward with steep drop offs put the pedal to the metal and there was no error for margin, dad said it was as if angels were helping push it up that steep grade,I was there and quite in a sweat,and to verify or magnify the miracle of the event,we went maybe about a mile when a jeep was coming towards us from the direction you were driving and met him right at a place in the road where it widening out for us to pass,cause if he was coming down that road the same time we were going up,we might've hesitated and we might've rolled right on down the steep dropoff, crazy,yet we seen God be merciful to our stupidity, ,,I'm glad I seen all those places before the history of the place got contaminated,it still is there though,and am glad you made this here video, just shows that when all is said and done,that the living gold will endure 😉🐠💰⛏maranatha

How much louder is the bike with no cat? My friend has m4 gp slip on with cat still in it seems pretty loud.

Terrible sound . Take off your helmet

"If Satan had a motorcycle" lol

It depends on if there is a legal easement and how the property lines are. The easement might also state for fire and forest services, that does not mean it's for public use. I'm in the process of buying some land that the previous owner had built a road and allowed the public to use to be able to get to the river at the pack of the property. And another that allowed the neighbor to cut through to access the same spot on the river, where people have used to put their boats in There is no easement so it would be my discretion to allow or not anyone from using it. Now there is a boat landing across the river, and it would make these people have to travel over 20 minutes to get to it. Now my plans are to build my house on this over 300 acres and close the roads down. so I can fence the land and not be bothered. And that is my right to do so since the public who has used the roads don't legally have a right to use the land.

This is pretty much the same install for a ninja 400 correct?

So you know all the trails off pearl road are private and you can't access BLM via private property There is no easements

How many liters of coolant to fill that radiator?

i goit a queation man on the right side on top theres a little hole right asbove the oil and theres coolant comibng out of there but its rare its lil a once a month thing

Great video,thanks for posting!

@ 8:37 you add the coolant is there anyway to tell how much to put in or just up until you see it fill to the top ?

maybe it is better not to fill radiator with coolant till the cap, than start the engine and see how thermostat is taking coolant from reserve tank that way it will be no air bubbles in system. Just start the bike with open radiator cap. Yes or no ?

Did you get new hoses? What size if so? My DRZ just started leaking and I'm trying to figured out where. And great video!

I dont knkw why everyone keeps saying 600 dont go 175. Kr i should say wont haha

You'll never see that public access again. I don't live far from the wilks. They'll subdivid that land and sell it to the highest bidder. Next owner will be sure to not let you step foot on it. Get ready, Texas is the same way. You own it you put a fence on it!

Hello Robert, just a quick question. In the video, Did you only use 1 bottle(2Q/1.89L) of th Maxima Coolanol OR did you use the 2 bottles? Im just not sure how many I need to buy. 10:08

Where you buy it?

As someone who knew nothing about motorcycles prior to this, I thought this was going to be gutting a cat that was destroying the motorcycle.

OH YEAH

last time I was there was in the 70's .

What KTM are you actually comparing the drz400 with? The title doesn tells, the first minutes of the video doesn't tell me and even using the transcript and jumping to relevant parts in the video doesn't make that clear. So just asking, what KTM are you actually comparing the drz with? Are you actually comparing anything or just reviewing the drz?

Safety is never overboard bro👍🏾

i gotta DRZ too, its a great bike i have good times on it. But ya, its big and heavy. Someday when I can afford to get a KTM 300 XCW im goin for it and i cant wait. But for now, the DRZ life aint so bad.

Hay I live in kalispell Montana and it I sooo beautiful here, and I’ve been to flat head lake so many times and I’ll love to see your motorcycle

The rich SOBs should be run out of the state.

Great tutorial mate! Cheers from Malaysia!

Must be winter up there. Good to see a video from you.

I've had piles of bikes, ridden forever, worked in the motorcycle industry for decades. The DRZ400 is a great trail bike and can be ridden very fast. Or trail ridden. Great do it all machine. Excellent easy to use motor, great and forgiving suspension with a wide range of adjustment, good brakes. Does not feel heavy to me but I am a very good rider with 42 years of continuous riding. I ride a lot and a lot of bikes. This is a good one.
