Yeah well that's all good buddy. Yep nice product, but try and remember all of these combinations of switch pushes while you're riding. Can see that you're reading off a script. Probably need that same script next to the handlebars while riding. So instead of hands off handbars, it would be eyes off the road.
I actually got pretty good with the muscle memorey on this remote. I only used it for a handful of the more common commands that I used a lot. These days I use more voice commands. But volume is still one I use a lot!
Hi all. Did the Mod with the front sprocket on my CBR500R and it has worked wonders. The speedometer now reads exact. I just did a major long-range highway trip and the motor was working a lot less hard at 70mph. Much more usable and better mileage. This works really well.
Chris regarding your exhaust voiding the warranty, check with your sponsor Rick. Here in NY we have protections in place that do not allow modifications that "void the warranty" to be included in the company boilerplate legal documents. It appears the legality of enfircement is on a state by state basis. Ironically, I can legally change my exhaust in NY without voiding a warranty, however I cannot pass the NYS inspection. You could do what folks here do... Keep the stock exhaust for those times you need it. - Frank
Great advice as always, Frank! Thanks for all your feedback and guidance. I shared my research with my Aprilia dealership. He was so impressed with the value of the Dominator (impressive quality for a lot less $ than some other brands), that he contacted them to become a distributor. He's got my kit on order! 🙂
Greenville... The most used town name in the south. I have literally heard someone say "Which Greenville you in now?" to another person in Tenessee. - Frank
I saw this for the first time at Barber last year, at the US distributor's both. He demonstrated removing and installing tires several times for me. I was impressed! Very slick tool. And, IF I changed tires weekly it would be a must have item. However, even owning 15 motorcycles, I don't change tire all THAT often. And damn! It ain't cheap. And after all these years, I honestly don't normally find most tires all that hard with my spoons, In fact, with some bike/tire combos, I can have the tires swapped, using three spoons, and some Ru-Glyde, in about the time it takes to get the Rabaconda out of the bag and set up. Admittedly, I do have trouble getting tires off sometimes, but spooning them back on isn't that difficult if you take SMALL bites at a time and use good lube. Most people get too "greedy" with the spoons! Go slow and take small bites and most tires slide on with little effort. Not knocking the Rabaconda, as it is a nice unit. But with multiple bikes, of different types, buying the base unit, and then all the extras, gets costly. Guess I'll stick with my spoons.. Just depends on your budget and how often you actually change tires, I suppose... For a racer that changes tires all the time, then hell yeah!
Hey Chris...knew your parents when we were in Kinshasa serving with MAF. Of course we have known Dr Paul since he was about 4 yrs old & worked with his parents, David & Leveda at Lodja in the early 80s as well as Paul & Marty Law. My husband, Paul Rule, has been to Lodja the last 2 years in March to do the annual on P Law's airplane so we are also in touch with Dr Paul. Praying for your trip to Congo in January.❤
Hi Roxann!!! It's so great to hear from you! I have such fond memories of flying back and forth to Moanza with MAF. 🙂 I remember when they got the Caravan. We had never seen a "bush plane" that big land at our little grass airstrip before! Anyway, thank you so much for your kind comment, and thoughtful prayers. I hope you'll share the video link with your community and help us spread the word. We're humbled and excited to be able to do this for Dr. Paul!!!
As a chain wears, it develops tight spots. You can check it in one position and tension would be fine, rotate the wheel half a turn and it would be too tight. Therefore, this tool still needs to be positioned when the chain is at its tightest spot and you have to find that spot using your fingers. 🤷🏻
Well it's not perfect. But we still think it's a helpful device. Most of the time you can visually locate the tighter spot in the chain by just rolling the bike forward.
Yes, bummer. I got up and the bike wouldn’t start. Warrantied, battery had a dead cell 🤷🏼♂️. Ok, sounds great, thank you. Exited to see that machine in action.
Thanks Sandy! It sure was great seeing you at Shem Creek park the other day. I'm so sorry I was a bit stressed/rushed with my photo shoot since they were late arriving and I was losing light FAST!!!
Thanks Melinda! That's a great question. When I lived there ('69-'89), we took Chloroquine. I don't know if things have changed. I'll make sure and ask Dr. Paul before we go so we know what to bring.
Thanks for a great episode. I was gobsmacked when I saw Ezra; I’ve been reading C&D for 50 years and look forward to his column every issue. Also, thanks for including personal profiles of the people you meet. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Thanks Marco! It was such a coincidental meeting. We honestly didn't know what we had until later. They were so gracious with their time as well. Good people!
Thanks Frank! That is so kind of you!!! We enjoy your videos too. Everyone tells their stories in unique and interesting ways...which is what makes this such a fun community to be a part of. 🙂
Hey there Moise! How's it going, brother? I haven't been back since '89. So I'm super happy about this oportunity...especially since it's to support Paul Law, a fellow TASOK Graduate, and the medical mission he's starting out there! - Chris
Oh man, I’m very jealous, but very excited for you guys. Looking forward to this series. Someday I will motorcycle in Africa, unless you get back and don’t recommend it😂. Safe travels!
Hi Marco! Although we didn't speak Swahili in Congo (Kinshasa), my wife and I did a mission trip to Tanzania in 2011. So I can say "asante sana" without even having to look it up in Google Translate!!! 🙂 - Chris
@@marcoluoma3770 WOW!!! Thank you so much, my friend! If we can get Paul's medical mission off to a good start, it is going to make such a big difference in the lives of these families and children. You are an angel!
The custom one Jason ordered for his Norden 901 is the same height as stock. The "standard height" one I ordered for my Tuareg 660 is slightly lower than OEM: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qzEghatuSzU.htmlsi=6RwTQdnmflnmFZ9s. Sargent also offers lowered seats as well. Their stuff is really impressive quality for the money!
Thanks so much for this video, great info! I bought this unit and going to install tomorrow feeling much more confident! Only question I still have is you posi tapped a 5 amp acc fuse but my bike has nothing below 7.5 it seems. If I tap my headlight fuse as well will this matter?
If you're installing a Garmin Zumo device, it shouldn't matter at all. You'll notice there's a circuit box that comes with the wires for your Zumo. That box will take whatever voltage you give it (within reason), and send the correct amount of power to the unit.
@@JonCohen-q7e ahhh...my sincere apologies! I was responding to a number of questions on our channel and mistakenly thought I was replying to a comment on a video where we installed a Garmin Zumo GPS using a similar connection. Anyway, YES!!! The Vantrue F1 works the same way. You will connect the +/- leads to the battery. The accessory lead can be connected to any "switched" power. It doesn't matter if it's 5 amp, 7.5 amp, 15 amp, etc. All this wire does is tell the "brain" of the unit to power up the system. When it does so, it draws the power from the +/- connections. I hope this helps! Bottom line is, you shouldn't have any problems connecting to your headlight fuse.
@@MotoPhotoAdventures amazing thank you! One more question there , each fuse has two wires going to it. Are they different polarity, does it matter which wire you tap?
@@JonCohen-q7e I'm not sure I understand. But if I do, they will both work. One side is from the bike to the fuse block...the other side is from the fuse block to the accessory (headlight in your case). You'll want to use the side leading to the accessory so that the fuse still protects the bike. If unsure which is which, remove the fuse. The side that doesn't go "live" when you turn the ignition on is the correct side. Plug the fuse back in and now it will go "live" when you turn the ignition on. Tap into the wire on that side and you're good to go.
No worries, brother! If you're sitting on the bike, the factory USB port is at the bottom left of the dash. It's kind of underneath and facing outward from the dash console. It's got a little plastic cover over it. So basically it'll appear to be a small rectangular "bump" that sticks out. Just pull that cover off and you'll see the USB port portected underneath. Obviously, if you ride in the rain, you'll want to unplug your device and put that plastic cover back on to keep it water tight. Hope this helps!
This was exactly what I was looking for with installation and how to use the app before I decided to make a purchase. This video is exactly what I wanted to see to satisfy my curiosity about installation on a bike. I agree with the switch, instead of direct battery installation. But I'm curious about the parked recording that it is capable of doing as well since I do not have a garage to park my bike. So I would have to consider how much battery drainage it would do if I direct wired the device.
I'm glad our video was helpful! I don't think the parked recording would be a problem for you. I'm pretty sure it can be used whether you install the cameras direct to the battery or to the switched power. The feature can be turned on or off in your app. And it has a power-safety built in. So in theory if you just leave your bike parked for a short time, it will stay active. But if you leave it parked for a long time and it starts to drain your battery to the point that it won't start the bike, that feature will automatically shut off. I haven't played with it since I park in my garage. I'll try to look at it one day next week. But that's how I understand it to work based on the research I did and from reading the manual.
Considering the speed I was going, I would be having knee replacement surgery if it wasn't for the protection it provided. And my radiator would have had a huge hole ripped in it ...leaving me stranded on the roadside. Considering I didn't have a scratch, and I'm still riding the bike, I'm VERY happy with the protection it gave me!
I changed my 650 V-Strom suspension to a thousand cc V-Strom suspension progressive suspension is much better than the boggy 650 suspension a stock simple change over just how to change the spacer
YAY!!! So glad you guys are enjoying your vacation! You've been busting your butt the last couple months. The view and the fireworks are well-desrved, my friend. - Chris
That's a good question! You'll want to follow the process and chat with a support agent from GoPro. We are hearing more and more that claims are being denied. But each situation is different. So give it a try!
