F650GS Dakar bottomed

Playing in Aggs Quarry. The Dakar has a set of KTM Adventure forks with stock springs (48) and a Wilbers rear shock with a really heavy spring (210). The exhaust is a gem made by Arrows. Check the bottoming! Nearly beached the focker....

@MrCofl1001 : Do you have to go around collecting the tupperware and bolts?

those bikes are not dirt bikes, don't kid yourself, they are bike meant to take you anywhere, just keep them on the ground.

I agree these bikes are not dirt bikes. However the idea here is to get a proper setup of the suspension. Great changes have been made and more money will be spent. What you should compare this bike to is the stuff you see on rallyes. Those are not dirtbikes but they still have to cope with some air,

Since I made this vid, it has occurred to me that I was not on the gas during the landing. This could partially explain the bottoming.
