Official Dual Sport BS Thread

Need some expertise from you gentlemen. For the past week or so, my bike feels like it's lost some power. Not as responsive and quick as it used to be. Granted it's extremely hot and humid here, I don't think it contributes 100% to the power loss. Bike idols 100% fine and has no trouble turning on. Ideas?

 

That's all I run is a 130 d606 rear and I now have 5500 miles it us dangerous. They behave well in dry conditions any wet asphalt is a death wish

 

not sure if anyone follows this but i just found out about it. dual sporting blog, good info too

Raining fire.

 

Nice Honda. I have a 2014. Are you going to keep it stock, or do a couple mods?

 

I would like to upgrade the exhaust (fmf). This is a good bike for what I use it for, mainly forest roads to get around to fishing spots. It does good on moderate trails too but not allot of power which maybe a good thing so I don’t get too wild, haha.

 

Sweet little Pit Bike I picked up today. Little thing rips.

 

If I change to a really big rear sprocket, do I have to worry about any fitment issues? I tried asking on ADV, but I think they are sick of gearing talk

 

depends how big. talking stunt sprocket size then probably.

 

Going from a 13/43 to a 14/52, basically because a shop screwed up and instead of selling me a 120/80/18, they did a 130/90/18 and I didn't catch it until too late.
Backup plan is 13/49 gears, but I have interest in a 14T front because all the guys with my bikes says the larger size is safer/wearing less on the swingarm.

 

Anyone in here come ride our dual sport with the Durty Dabbers?

 

I hear a bunch from jersey are coming up from their facebook page

 

If so we recommend everyone try to pre-register. We're capped at 550 riders this year. When we hit that number we're done

 

Finally updated my dirt helmet.... quite a bit lighter

 

I think I’m going to try and make a rack to fit on my Super Sherpa, anyone have any experience with this? Maybe some things you wished you would have don’t or wouldn’t have done. Main use would be for strapping a bag to the top and protecting my rear fender and tailight if I go over backwards.

 

New chain and sprockets just arrived from dennis kirk

 

cut the chain one link too short.....

 

This picture was taken just minutes after riding the Dual Sport dirt bike @ Tin Cup Springs in Michigan today. 20 miles of trail. Pretty whooped out. There were some sweet sections. Going to ride again tomorrow AM. Maybe Lincoln Hills. Maybe further North.

 

Yesterday just before riding the Evart motorcyle trail in Michigan. Trail was in great condition.
