Blue camelbak... two dismounts two minutes! I can tell 100% his bike is running tyres at road pressures. Go for at most 50% of road tyre pressures and you'll transform your riding. As low as 12-15 psi is fine. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes. (And take a compressor to reinflate for the road ride home!) Edit: I watched the whole vid. I'm convinced your tyre pressures are not soft enough either! Props for showing the reality of how easy it is to end up in the nettles!
Lol. Yea TBF there were further apart prob least 3hrs I'm before 1st off. But last cpl was close as was getting hard and tired. Yea around 36 30 on tyres. I do have cordless pump in the bike.
Pedant comment: It’s “Plain” not “Plains” I.e the singular article. No one really falls off they are just “unplanned dismounts”😉. It’s pretty hard not to as much of the ruts are covered over this time of year - need more people to ride them. We will be out there Sunday
On the plus side Stu you are getting out there doing it 😀 Are those legit double take mirrors or the copies? How do you find them? Do you have a link for the camo bag on the left pannier please matey 😀👍 Gaz (ST1100)
I did most of these upgrades myself to himmy. The TPMS found they now do solar powered version which is better than having to charge it every week. I got some smaller spot lights and tucked them into the frame so if bike falls over less chance of damaging lights. You may find you get a lot of vibration from the main headlight, I little self adhesive foam around the casing where rim goes will stop that.
I have replaced the hoses, I ordered a kit from ebay, but there were 2 important hoses missing, so these were replaced with genuine Honda ones. No video I believe but replaced like for like
Looks like bit of work rebuilding it but get some joy when it done got a 1999 with 66k miles now probably original pump/belt should be ok for another 1/2 yrs only avreage about 5 /6 k year. Thanks for reply Best bike have owned @@r6stu
@@brocky78 Yea great bikes, I shoved a new engine in, but now its got an faulty alternator, and the bolts have all rusted. I need to dremal them out, as Im not dropping the ending again lol! also have a gearbox to rebuild on the FZR at somepoint, will be uploading that to the TT chanel as well.
Great video. About to do the same on my Himi. One thing, it would be great if you could put links to the products you are using in the description for noobs like me. Or at least just the name of the product so I can go find them
Great effort on the rebuild. I know this is a good few years old now, but do you recall any issues when removing the old steering head bearing races? I'm trying to research the job, and hear a lot about how difficult it is on this bike and you need special tools etc, But I'm struggling to understand why. I've done the job on other bikes before, and whilst not a fun one, its not too difficult
Nope. I made the tool and was pretty straightforward. Just a big M10 penny washer on some threaded rod, then bang it out easy when bare frame . May require some more faniggling when all together
Hey bro that lipo is NOT safe to use it looks puffy which is a bad sign it means the cells have gone out of balance and its now a bomb waiting to go off i hope it hasnt popped on you yet lipos are notoriously hard to put out and burn extremely hot ive lost a couple hobby grade rcs to a puffy battery from traxxas
I've been watching other Himalayan fuel tests, so I'll add them here for you to compare with yours (metric, so you can do the conversion if you like). Tools & Tours: 387km total, 228km main tank, 159km on reserve, 25.8kpl - DNA filter, iridium spark plug, pro-tune Uncle Voodoo: 463km total, 280km main tank, 183km on reserve, 30.6kpl On 2 Feet: 336km total, 204km main tank, 132km on reserve, 22.2kpl - highway speeds @ 105kph (commenter): 582km total, 353km main tank, 229km on reserve, 38.46kpl - 5000km bike @ 80-90kph, 2.6l/100km So there seems to be a considerable variation depending on the bike, the rider, the speed and any modifications (more power burns more fuel?) I guess fuel economy could be a challenge for you and your bike to explore.
@@r6stu I did work out that the ratio of the main tank to the reserve is 3:2 (approx. two-thirds), so whatever distance you get before it switches to Trip F divide by 3 then multiply by 2 and that's your reserve distance. So if you get 231km or 144mi on the main tank, you get approx. 154km or 96mi on reserve.
Lol they are great bags. Unfortunately the theifing to rags took them before I got the bike back. Am replacing them with the same. I have 2 new bottles to slice up. This time will mask to make a nicer cut.
@timo5532 1 second ago I only need how to change head gasket 1991 fzr 600. I'm not a expert, but have done alot of work on it. Daughter telling me give up on that thing. Maybe, but one more time.... How hard? Have to pull engine out? any posts ?
