Hey, I'm Kyle. You might have seen us on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Dirt bikes are a passion of mine. I focus mainly on the off-road and enduro segments of our sport because that is the riding me and my friends focus on. Think of this as an extension of the more than 1200 videos found on YouTube. Here, we talk about all things related to off-road and enduro-style dirt bike riding. With topics ranging from full dirt bike reviews, gear reviews, riding tips, and other general nonsense, we have the off-road rider covered.

Support DBC when buying all your parts, gear, and tires- https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/l/Dirt-Bike-Channel?ref=1017 Here is the long version of the review of the Stark Varg MX bike. Good It's really great on the MX track - Love how smooth the power is and how easy it is to ride there. It's so great that you can dial in the exact amount of power that you want. That is a game changer High-speed hill climb bike - it's amazing (not great slow speeds) Love that you are always in the right "gear" because there are no gears. Always right in the power Fastest bike I've ever been on - and it's stable at speed - it feels really planted The range on the bike has gotten better with updates Over-the-air updates are cool; got reverse and forward crawl modes - Brakes are great Forks are great for desert and MX tracks Bad Feels heavy when you have to lift the bike - both off-ground and on stands Worst traction on loose, slow climbs - not great in the tight single-track Really sucks the power fast as the track gets lines into it The range for single-track No Clutch The kickstand is annoying. The charging cable is too short. Support the show…

Ep 113 - Maintenance Items I WON'T Do and the Ones I WILL Do 28:16

Let's have a chat about maintenance items. Nobody tells you that if you want to ride dirt bikes you need to also become a mechanic at at least some level, but it's true. The more things you can do at home in your garage, the more you will ride, the more money you will save, and the better your overall experience is going to be. But there are some things that I won't (or just don't often) do at home. Hope you enjoy.

Order your Parts from this link to support DBC! https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/?ref=1017 Here is my website. You should check it out! https://dirtbikechannel.com/ Not many of these things around. Maybe only 500 or so in the USA each year spread across the entire model range. I'd never seen one in person before getting mine Hand built and you can see they are just a little different than the more mainstream, mass produced bikes. I'll tell you what this bike mostly resembles at the end of the podcast here. Stay tuned for that. Support DBC by using the links on my website for Rocky Mountain ATV This is a sweepstakes bike for June I weighed mine at 245 lbs full of fuel. It came with a rad fan installed and a skid plate, but it didn't cover the linkage. It also had Estart and the kickstart. Had hand guards too That is 6 lbs heavier than my 23 KTM 300 XC, but still pretty darn close. It's basically identical in weight to my 22 GasGas EC300 Power valve is a little weird since it resets and has to go through it's calibration process each time the bike is started. The dealer mitigated this for me by installing an arming switch which essentially keeps the power on the bike so that it doesn't know it's shut off. I can then use this to keep the bike from cycling the power valve calibration each time. Right off the bat I could tell that the forks and shock are a little stiff for hard enduro or slower riding. My first and only ride so far was on some pretty rocky terrain. I was bouncing all over the place. Removed all clicks and was better, but still not great. Why do all the bike makers assume we are hard charging racers? The bike seems fairly front end biased. Lots of front end traction, but maybe has a tendency to knife the front end down if you arne't careful. Kinda like the rear end is pretty tall. Feels more like a single track/hard enduro bike, than a desert machine. Feels shorter front to back than some of the other bikes I've had recently like the YZ450FX and the KTM 250 XC Foot pegs come out flat... makes it easier for my feel to slip off the pegs Motor is crazy powerful. Very snappy. Easy to lift the front wheel off the ground. Starts really quickly. I need to adjust my idle up. Vibrations still there Brembo brakes, but my front brake needed to be bled out. I didn't notice it until the night before I went to ride it. Wasn't great on the trail and I have since bled the air out of the line to make it better for my next ride. Plastics are a little sharp in places like on the rear fender. I've nearly cut my hands a couple of times lifting the bike on an off stands. Seems a little more brittle of a plastic than some of the bikes from what I've seen so far. Hands and feet feel close together and the triple clamps don't allow for multiple bar positions. Maybe you can order it with different triple clamps, but mine did'n't come that way. Feels and awful lot like a Sherco 300SE. Like crazy. there I said it Support the show…

Ep 103 - 2023 Yamaha YZ450FX First Impressions 29:33

Order your Parts from this link to support DBC! https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/?ref=1017 Last time I had a YZ450 it was a 2014 model. It's been 9 model years. Right off the bat I was reminded that Yamaha makes these bikes thinking that moto tracks are the baseline and that you won't encounter rocks or roots. It's pretty darn stiff. So, I took off my handlebars (damn clickers are right under the bars) and loosened things up as much as they'd go. Bouncing off everything like a pogo stick at first, but it became more manageable afterwards. If you were racing desert in 4th gear, it's likely really good. But I was going in 2nd gear and 3rd gear through some relatively rocky terrain. Motor - holy crap power! In fact, in the MX power feeling map (the main hot map), it's too much for the terrain I was riding. Talk about wrist and arm fatigue. It just wears you out since every bump or minor twist of the throttle is like when the Saturn 5 rocket ignites to send you to the moon. There is too much power here for mere mortals riding tight trails, or rocky trails. It's just too much hit. I'm sorry, but it's true. Luckily, Yamaha has the power tuner app and I was able to really make a difference to the power This might be the best reason to buy the Yamaha over the Honda, KTM, or the Kawi. Ability to make meaningful changes to the power right out on the trail. Why don't they all do this? Makes no sense. When you soften the motor, it also seems to soften the feel of the rear end of the bike. I know it sounds strange, but it's not the first time I've felt it on a bike either. Support the show…

You should check it out! https://dirtbikechannel.com/ I was on record clear back in 2018 when KTM first released their TPI 2 stroke saying it would save the 2 stroke dirt bike Now it's 6 model years later and we've got the next iteration of fuel injected 2 strokes and it's throttle body injected and it's amazing 2023 XC (and SX) models are getting the simpler version without the oil pump to fail 2024 Enduro models might end up having oil injection with the TBI... not confirmed, but likely. This would satisfy both camps of oil pumpers and non pumpers... just coined that term now! Premix oil in the gas on the XC bikes and oil injection on the Enduro models? Also electronic power valve to give crazy crisp throttle response and delivery - these are the most powerful 2 stroke engines I've ever been around. Are they too hot? Only time will tell Love that you can adjust the idle right on the throttle body - that was so annoying with the TPI bikes. TPI bikes - some tuning required..... TBI bikes nope.

πριν 4 years27:59

27:59

If you'd like to enter to win one of the three motorcycles I'm giving away, visit my website before June 30th 2021. https://dirtbikechannel.com/ Motors - Ultimate winner is the Yamaha Both motors pull really hard and are a ton of fun. YZ250FX has an advantage with the Yamaha Power tuner App - so cool to be able to change maps that way. Better than the Modules you change on the KX. Yes, I know you can buy the Kawi Calibration kit, but how many people spend the few $700 for it? Suspension - Tie Both of the 250 versions of these bike use KYB forks. Both of them are valved a bit more for going fast, or riding some smaller tracks than for doing slower enduro riding. Both bikes give me an incredible amount of confidence and feel. Chassis - Tie Both bikes give me confidence with a super "planted" and settled feel I love the narrow feeling of the KX. Feels super narrow when riding it. I like that Kawi lets you move the foot-pegs a bit. I wish they moved back more, but it's a start and I wish all bike makers allowed this. Both kickstands sucked. The Yami has that huge spring that caught on my boots. The KX is sticking out like some sort of out rigger. Kawi uses a "thin" clutch lever and brake lever. You notice it right off the bat and I thought I'd hate it, but it didn't bother me on the trails. They both use Nissin brakes, and while they are sometimes a little more Grabby than a Brembo, I ultimately have too much issue. The main thing is it's harder for me to feather the rear brake on the Kawi than some other bikes. Kawasaki KX250X has hydro clutch Transmission - Yamaha Yamaha uses the WR 6 speed transmission. Although it's not exactly what I want, it's better than MX gearing for off road riding Kawasaki uses 5 speed MX gearing. Isn't too bad for single track riding, but shows it's short legs when riding faster, more open terrain. Becomes an issue when connecting trails. Needs another gear. Air Box - Yamaha This Kawasaki air-box is so dumb. Needs 8mm and 10mm to remove air-box cover. Then the filter is the hardest filter to change of any modern bike I've ever had. Final Score is YZ250FX =4 while the KX250X =2 Support the show…

How To Get Better at Dirt Bikes - Push Yourself Incrementally, Baby Steps - Ep 74 1:38:07

πριν 4 years1:38:07

1:38:07

Thanks to Sam Bennion for joining me in this discussion today! How do we mentally prepare to hit bigger and bigger obstacles and challenges so that we grow in our abilities? Incremental Growth - Baby steps small logs, small drops Stop for a moment and realize the bike can do this How do we draw the line to know when to stop or when we really are out of our ability? Peer pressure? Going back to an obstacle later and conquering it is really rewarding Leave the obstacle on a high note if possible How do we face the mental challenges of an obstacle we are afraid of or a trail we have heard about and we are afraid of trying? How do we deal with failure, when we try and fail? How do we deal with getting hurt when we ride? Does being too timid or cautious actually make it easier to get hurt or get hurt again? having your mind in the right place How do we find riders and riding groups that push us and is that a good thing to be in a group where you are being pushed? On the flip side, are we in a group that does the same rides over and over and we are stagnant in our growth because of the group we ride in? Are we rushing through the ride for the Podium at the end? Are we looking for fun things to do along the way? Are we messing around and working on skills? We need to STOP telling ourselves that we can't do that and stop taking the easiest line! It means we are indeed willing to fall and fail, even in front of others! It means we are willing to scratch up our bikes and brake parts, that is part of the price to be paid for higher confidence. What about the sheer satisfaction of overcoming a fear or obstacle that has troubled us? Support the show…

2 Stroke Oil Mixing and Carb Jetting 101 - The Basics - Ep 73 45:54

45:54

Fuel/Oil Ratio vs Fuel Air/Ratio Fuel/Oil ratio is the amount of oil you are mixing in the gas. It's in your gas can 32:1 is a lot of oil - thick fuel 50:1 is less oil - thinner fuel 80:1 is even less oil - thinnest fuel Pick something that works for you and stick with that. We'll fine tune the mix with our fuel/air Ratio Fuel/Air Ratio is fine tuned inside the carburetor with Jets and needles. I've got oil running down my silencer and I"m running my bike 32:1. I guess that I'm running it too Rich, right? Well yeah, but it's not because of your oil mix. You are too "rich" but you need to take fuel away from the bike by allowing less of it to enter the cylinder of your bike. Denser air (more of it) makes your bike fuel lean (less fuel) because now you have more air/pressure but the same amount of fuel Density altitude is what we are really tuning for. Aviation - Density altitude is pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard temperature. As temperature and altitude increase, air density decreases. Air pressure is reduced at higher elevations - Elevation goes up - bike runs " fuel rich" temperature effects our carbs - temp goes up - bike runs "fuel rich" Pilot Circuit - idle up to about 1/8th air screw for fine tuning 3/4 of turn out to 2.5 "turns out" is a fine range If you have to run the bike at less than 3/4 of a turns out, you will need a bigger pilot jet If you need to run it more than 2.5 turns out, then you need a smaller pilot jet Needle Circuit 1/8th to 3/4 throttle - Where it's at! uses clips to fine tune here Moving the clip UP the needle will allow it to drop down further in the carb which restricts fuel (makes it leaner) Moving the clip DOWN on the needle keeps the needle higher which add fuel (makes it richer) Main Circuit 3/4 throttle and up there is certainly some cross over here and I'm not saying that it will ONLY effect you at 3/4 throttle, but this is where it mostly comes into play.
