Short KPX video

Bill Hilly · 02-12-2024, 03:46 PM

I went for a ride on the KPX yesterday, because I have been riding the Hawk so much. I ended up on Sarvis Fork, and I figured I would post the video, since there is a covered bridge on it. I will probably post another short video, or two. My internet isn't great, and long videos take forever to post. As with my other videos, you may have to manually increase video quality.

I also got on another road that I figure would probably take me out on either Sarvis, or Turkey Fork, but it had a bad stretch in it as well. The KPX tires, especially being fully inflated for road speed were not very good. I never laid it down, but it kept try to slide out from under me, and then the icing on the cake was falling down when trying to walk up to a quarry were we used to swim. I will be posting a video tomorrow of clips from my ride that I tried to edit all together. I definitely need to install some preload spacers in the forks of the bike. The front forks compress a lot by just standing the bike upright, without even being on it. I had thought that I would like the bike better with knobby tires, but it handles the curves on the main roads good with the stock tires. I know that my Hawk suspension is not nearly as strong as the KPX, but concidering the fact that it's not failed yet, I think I should probably just keep knobby tires on it, and some sort of 50/50 on the KPX.

I was actually in some pretty muddy places a few times. I tried to string some clips together, but removed it because I had so much repeat footage of the Sarvis Fork, and Liverpool Road videos

Liverpool Road. That's the last bit of video, because my battery beeped, letting me know it was sapped,as I was walking back to the bike.
