Unless using the Hill hold has a lasting effect on the traction control (very unlikely), the difference is only the extra rpms you need to make the Hill hold release since they may induce wheel spin and make the traction control kick in from start. I think.
I say BS. How many people will tip over on a GS on flat solid ground with on obstacles? I wanna see these people teach skills thats practical. I wanna see this person lift a GS 1250 on uneven muddy ground with tree's and branches in your way? This is where you typically go down and not on flat surfaces.
Loved the video and recommendations. I plan on replacing my factory KTM 890 Adventure R tires with the Mitas E 07's. I got about 5,000 miles out of the factory ones and they are due for replacement.
Does the linked rear brake upset slow manoeuvres and u-turns? Don’t like the idea of controlling slow speed with the back brake turning and the front brake engaging……
sorry... Just saw this question... so - I gotta say that is was somehow comforting to use the rear brake with a small amount of front brake applied.. weirdly it felt quite reassuring... did'nt bother me in the slightest...
Hey there... I'm kinda liking the plastic bags for "street" and really easy off road stuff... but they wont last long if you drop the bike too many times... probably not a good idea for any hard core adventuring...
So did this tour company buy all the press fleet bikes? There is a misunderstanding on the brakes, they are not reversed, the rear brake now applies some front brake, the front brake does what it always has and applies a small amount of rear brake.
Hey... quick answers for you... No.. Edelweiss got the first delivery of new bikes... my bike had 2 km when I threw a let over it... as to the brakes? well... the tech advisor that was present to give us an overview of the bikes said things were "reversed"... thus my commentary... regardless - its nice to get a little front brake when the rear is applied... (on the street anyway)
@@RawHydeAdventures Tech advisor needs to read the press guide or perhaps it was a language translation error on their part: The new R 1300 GS comes as standard with a twin disc brake featuring two newly developed, radially mounted four-piston fixed calipers at the front and a single disc brake with two-piston floating calliper at the rear in conjunction with BMW Motorrad Full Integral ABS Pro. Here, the handbrake lever activates the front and rear brakes simultaneously. The foot brake lever now likewise actuates the front and rear brakes at the same time.
@@JoeS97756 Yea it was not a "RawHyde" person... that was the tech advisor... it was a fellow from Germany who was at our welcome dinner... and he did a high level overview of the changes between the 1250 and the 1300... AND he did not specifically say that the front brake no longer passed any pressure through to the rear... all he said was that the rear brake had "some" activation of the front... but regardless... Thanks for sharing the info above...
Actually, it’s a very smooth motor. It has a completely different sound than the 1250 but not like the old oil heads either… That sounds like a political answer but it’s not. It simply sounds different.😂
In future, when you do a video, please, please, turn down the background music so we can hear what you say. Between you, the music, and the wind it becomes a bit of a "dog's breakfast", but thanks for the video anyway
I’d like to upgrade from my 1250 in a couple of years. Liking the 1300 based on what I’ve seen and read, but I’m not liking the luggage set up. It just doesn’t speak to me aesthetically the way traditional hard luggage does. Besides, I’ve always felt the Vario panniers wouldn’t hold up well in a drop, but I have no firsthand knowledge of how robust they really are. Btw, I’m fine with the new head light. 😀
Yah... I know what you mean about the vario system... but I'm sure there will be aluminum panniers in the near future... not sure if it will have the locking feature?
That's why you save your money, don't get the electrical pannier stuff or the various cases but mount a normal Touratech or other brand of rack and nut your own. Or go Rackless with soft luggage because that's what all the cool kids do. :)
actually... that was my personal Nav 6 ... I had European maps on it... and the new bikes cradle is the same as previous generations... so since I had no other option....?? But to be honest I've never had an issue with the Nav 6...
@@maxflight777 ... well... I cant say that I really "disliked" anything... the bike has a very familiar feel... BUT - its gonna take some time to get used to all the new tech ... the radar, the adjustable ride height... etc.
The best training you'll ever get. I went Around the the world with wife on back of my r1200gs...in 2006 . Would never have made it through f'g Siberia with out my Adventure Training at RawHyde in 2006.
