Step-by-Step Install: Trail Tech Radiator Fan-Husqvarna, KTM, Gas Gas-Enduro

November 25, 2024 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

In this video, we provide a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to installing a Trail Tech radiator fan on a 2024 Husqvarna TE300, a crucial upgrade for maintaining optimal engine temperature during rigorous off-road riding. This installation is also compatible with KTM and GasGas models. The fan, developed in collaboration with KTM, requires a specific wiring harness for direct battery connection, ensuring a reliable power source with built-in fuse protection. We walk viewers through the entire process, from removing the seat, fuel tank, and skid plate, to draining and managing coolant, and finally attaching and wiring the fan securely.

The video highlights practical tips, such as using the proper tools, ensuring a clean setup, and reusing coolant efficiently. Additionally, we showcase features like the fan's programmable temperature settings and provide insights into organizing wires neatly to avoid potential damage. Throughout the tutorial, viewers get a glimpse of trusted tools and products we’ve relied on for years, such as the Titan motorcycle lift and digital torque wrenches, all of which are linked for easy access. This video is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their off-road bike’s performance while learning practical mechanical skills.

How I Secure My Dirt Bike in Seconds with This Game-Changing System-Risk Racing Lock N Load

September 13, 2024 By Ryan Urlacher Leave a Comment

Transporting your dirt bike after a long day on the trails or at the race track can be a frustrating task. Traditional straps are cumbersome, inconsistent, and often require a tedious back-and-forth process that risks tipping your bike. I’ve been using the Risk Racing Lock N Load Strapless Moto Transport System for some time now, and I’m excited to share why I’ll never go back to using those old straps again. This system is so impressive that I immediately added it to the Law Abiding Biker Store.

The Hassle of Traditional Straps

Let’s face it—loading your bike into a truck or trailer using traditional straps is far from ideal. You have to constantly switch sides to adjust the tension, making sure it’s just right. If you’re transporting two bikes side by side, the process becomes even more frustrating. And when you get home, the struggle starts all over again as you carefully remove the straps, hoping your bike doesn’t tip over. After a long, exhausting day, this is the last thing any rider wants to deal with.

Why I Chose Risk Racing Over Bike Binderz

You may have seen ads for the Bike Binderz system, featuring bikes suspended upside down on a piece of sheet metal. While this may catch your eye on social media, it doesn’t translate to real-world practicality. I don’t remember the last time I drove my truck upside down, and I doubt you do either.

When you watch Bike Binderz's own promotional video, you’ll notice the rider has to go through a cumbersome process to secure the bike. Bending over the bike multiple times, reaching down to attach tie-down chains, and fiddling with safety pins—this is exactly what I wanted to avoid. After all, traditional straps can do the same thing at a lower cost.

The Superiority of the Lock N Load System

In contrast, the Risk Racing Lock N Load Strapless Moto Transport System offers a far more refined and efficient solution. This system uses rigid aluminum lock-down arms instead of chains, making the process quick and effortless. There’s no need to bend over your bike repeatedly. Simply push down on the arms, and it ratchets down on the peg and locks securely. Repeat the process on the other side, and you’re done. You barely have to lean over the opposite side of your bike.

Unloading your bike is just as easy. Release the lock levers, push down on each arm to raise them, and back your bike out. It’s that simple. Every time I use this system, it puts a smile on my face because I know I’m on the road or back on the trails in no time.

Proven Performance and Reliability

Your bike is incredibly secure when locked into the Risk Racing system. I’ve driven on rough, 4WD roads and tackled steep hills, ruts, and bumps without any concerns about my bike’s safety. This system has been tried and tested by me many times, and it has never let me down.

Easy Installation and Universal Appeal

Installing the Risk Racing Lock N Load Strapless Moto Transport System in the bed of your truck or trailer is a breeze. I walk you through the installation process in my video, showing just how quick and easy it is.

At the track or trails, riders often stop to ask me about the system when they see how fast and effortlessly I load and unload my bike. It’s clear that riders are tired of struggling with traditional straps, and this system offers the perfect solution.

Conclusion

I highly recommend the Risk Racing Lock N Load Strapless Moto Transport System to anyone looking for a more efficient and secure way to transport their bike. It’s a game-changer that will make you wonder why you didn’t switch sooner. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Our main content for this podcast and our YouTube Channel is street motorcycles; more specifically American V-Twin. But, we do love all motorcycles. Many of us have adventure motorcycles and dirt bikes. Rick recently purchased a Husqvarna Norder 901. We get into a fun debate about which is a better adventure motorcycle; the Kawasaki KLR650 or a Norden 901. The truth is it is difficult to find the perfect adventure motorcycle. They tend to lean either toward dirt or street, without being great at either.

Brian, you may know him as Goat, just bought a Norden 901 Expedition. Goat is later in his life and getting back into off-rod riding. He road dirt as a young man, but life got in the way. There seems to be a trend of guys getting into adventure and dirt riding later in life. Our guess is that guys like Goat are at a place in life where they can afford to have an extra bike and the time to ride it.

I just purchased a 2024 Husqvarna 300 TE. I've been thinking about this purchase for a few years. Law Abiding Biker, my full-time law enforcement job, and other obligations limit my time to ride dirt. After riding single-track at the Touratech Rally I was hooked and decided to pull the trigger. The 2024 Husqvarna 300 TE is technically an enduro bike. Two-stroke motorcycles have come a long way since I was a kid. The two strokes of today have a much better power band. Oscar gets into why this is the case.

In this Part 2 of 2 episode, Lurch and I are joined by Oscar and Big Daddy Kane. We talk about adventure motorcycle riding and dirt bikes. Oscar and Big Daddy haven't been on a mic in a while and we're glad to have them. We are street riding centric here at Law Abiding Biker but we are getting deeper in the adventure and dirt riding scene.

The middle-weight adventure motorcycle market is blowing up. It seems to be one of the fastest-growing segments of the motorcycle market. All of the manufacturers are coming out with 600 to 800-cc adventure bikes. Oscar and Big Daddy Kane are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the new bikes and which ones they prefer. Lurch and I are still hoping for a middle-weight Harley-Davidson Pan America to come out!

Oscar digs into the dirt bike arena. He recently bought a Husqvarna 450 FE and spent a lot of time dirt riding this last summer. He got into racing and is loving the single track. I want to get into dirt bike riding but I may have to wait until I only have one job. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time right now.

LAB-328-Oscar’s New Husqvarna FE450 | Dirt Bike Talk

February 27, 2023 By Matt Couchman Leave a Comment

In this episode, I'm joined by Oscar and Lurch. We talk about dirt, adventure bike riding, and Oscar's new Husqvarna FE450. We love our touring bikes, but we've gotten into dirt and adventure riding over the last few years. Oscar has a Kawasaki KLR650 in edition to his Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra.

Oscar has been wanting a lighter bike that is more dirt oriented so he can get into places that are difficult to get a KLR650 into. The search for this bike was a long journey. Oscar did a lot of research and ultimately landed on the Husqvarna FE450.

Oscar explains why he chose the Husqvarna FE450. If you're looking for a dirtbike, maybe it's the one for you.

The weight of the bike was important to Oscar. The Husqvarna came in at 250 pounds. A lot of the other bikes of the same size were 50 to even 100 pounds heavier. The Yamaha WR450F was a front-runner, but Oscar was unable to find one at a reasonable price. The new ones are hard to come by and the price is too high for the used ones.

Oscar, Lurch, Big Daddy, and I will be attending the Tourtech Rally in Plain, Washington. Plain is near Leavenworth. The rally is June 22-25, 2023. We hope to see you there! Of course, we'll be filming the whole trip. Keep an eye out on our YouTube Channel for the video.
