Sharing this for your viewing pleasure.
The level of control this guy has is unimaginable. Do check the first person view when he climbs up the terrain !!

Re: Offroad Riding - Tips & Advice

Here's a little bit of work I've done on my Hero Xpulse 200 BS4 (Carb) for trail riding and rally racing. The pictures also have the prices of the products.

Recently I made 4 changes to the bike, these include the new knuckleguards and grips sent by Garage0Eight, a light weight exhaust set up and KTM adventure 390 foot pegs.

The next thing I’m planning on doing is switching the stock chain set with a Rolon chain set (or others - feel free to suggest other options) and a 38 tooth sprocket - a fairly common modification, but I feel like that will make the bike much more powerful and with my weight, the bike is already quite powerful.

Hey. You mean 40 tooth sprocket, right? 38 is stock

If you find the current sprocketing ok, best not to meddle

Yes, sorry 40. I do find the stock set up ample; when I rode 40 tooth Xs, I didn't feel too much of a difference - which is why I want to see if it's any different on my moto.

Re: Offroad Riding - Tips & Advice

Guys, one question.

While riding off road, say a trail and when you are saddling, how do you upshift gears?
Downshifting seems easy, for upshifting do you shift the weight onto the other side?
I usually stand with the footpegs in the middle of the arch in the feet, is this the right way?
Just wanted to understand the right technique.

Re: Offroad Riding - Tips & Advice

Realised two things: I never posted my Chamba video here, and this thread has been dormant for a while.

I will get to editing the part 2 once college and work ease out a little bit.


Something we should definitely discuss is the Yezdis. I had some fun with them this weekend!

Super nice! Your lines and timing of switching across the center and choice of the side ruts is what I was admiring through the video.

Cheers, Doc

Re: Offroad Riding - Tips & Advice

A short vid of a ride from a couple of months ago. Haven’t ridden in a while on account of crazy office schedules and some (mild) health issues. Hope to get back on the saddle soon
