"The Fix" Brake Pedal - 700 Tenere
Great news, after a year of testing, "The Fix" rear brake pedal is here! You don't have to deal with the Yamaha T7s crappy rear brake any longer. The issue with the bike's rear brake is not swelling of the OEM rubber brake lines, it's not the compound of the brake pads, and it's also not the quality or size of the master cylinder or caliper. The main issue is a poor leverage ratio. "The Fix" Features: -Corrected leverage ratio reducing pedal travel by half compared to stock -Durable 6.4mm thick 304 stainless steel construction -Straighter shape to reduce pedal flexing while braking -Brass bushings to reduce slop in the pedal main pivot point -Grippy, replaceable stainless steel brake tip...

CRF300L Cargo Rack Install
From the factory, the CRF300L has no place to carry anything. Honda included four lashing points but no cargo plate of any kind. Even rackless luggage is difficult to mount on this bike as there are no rear tie-down points. We wanted to make a minimalist, low-profile cargo plate that added was just big enough to carry your tool kit or day pack without being too bulky. Also, it acts as a tie-down point for rackless soft bags such as the Mosko Moto Reckless line or the Giant Loop type luggage. The rack itself is powder-coated 4.75mm (3/16") 5052 aluminum cargo plate featuring 14 outer edge lashing loops. Attaching the plate to the bike's subframe are two 304 stainless steel...
Cliff Hanger Trail, Moab - 700 Tenere, KTM 790 & 500EXC
The Cliff Hanger Trail in Moab does just that... hangs on the edge of a cliff! The trail is rated a +4/5 and is an in and out (total of 8.5 miles) and has numerous rock ledges and drop-offs. I first became aware of the route 20 years ago when I had a rock-crawling truck. Over the last few years, I've wanted to ride it on an ADV bike but wasn't able to make it happen until this March.
I was joined by Andy from Heavy Enduro (T7), Seth from Utah Enduro Adventures (890R), and "Manitoba Charles" (500EXC). I was riding the Camel ADV T7. We got it done but not without some excitement along the way!
Hell's Gate Moab - 700 Tenere
Hell's Gate is an optional obstacle on the Hell's Revenge trail in the Sand Flats Recreation Area. This alternate section is a steep, V notch with multiple ledges and if you're really lucky, the rock is covered in sand too!
We rode this track during the Dirt Circus ride in March 2022. My friend Charles was there on his KTM 500EXC and Overkill Andy of Heavy Enduro fame was there on his Yamaha T7 as well.

2022 Desert 100 Race - Yamaha 700 Tenere
After two years of COVID cancelations, the Stumpjumper's Desert 100 was a go! 2022 was the 50th anniversary of this iconic race and it had a record turn out. This was our 8th time racing in the ADV class. The course is a grind, not particularly difficult but it is relentless. The track is covered in baby head rocks, silt, sand and whoops. There is no opportunity to sit and cruise along, it give you no chance to rest. The DNF rate is 30-50%. 2022 was the dustiest event I've ever been to. The first couple miles had people cruising along in first gear until the dust cloud started to let up. Check out the previous ADV class races on...
