As I do sometimes I made myself my own version of this video. Added a few things too. Here it is:

Awesome video..... I am going to have to traveling down some time and go riding with ya'all. Maybe when you guys are doing a mountain run, I don't think my little Z600 would be able to keep up on those wide open flats....lol

Most of the time it's really not that fast. But Jogon30's YFZ is a very different animal with its power and suspension he can be miles ahead or at the top of any mountain in the blink of an eye....lol

Would love to ride in a wide open place like that some day; looks like a great ride.

Ok nmkawi ! I just went back and watched your video posted "clutch and reaper test 3" and you were makeing it up that hill like nothing! Now what has changed ? I'm telling you I think the more you use the moto the slower it's getting lol. Or unless you have a better idea? I really would like to get to the bottom of this.

Maybe...I would hate to think that's true..and if so I wouldn't have an explanation but..next time we go out there and if it's dry, I will show you something very strange... it will climb all those hills... except belt-burner, with no real problem. I think damp or wet sand while it gives better traction, its also more power robbing because of that extra traction and the added weight of the material being thrown by the tires. I think this heavily effects the little 65 or so hp the 800s have planted on a 1200+ pound machine. This is something you will never have to worry about again...lol
