I have my dream bike, a black 2006 KTM adventurer I bought new with panners and a top case plus tank bag and more options with only 2800 actual miles. Due to a truck accident it’s been resting in my garage waiting for the day I can make myself believe I can’t ride it again. That day has come now. If anyone is interested and make a decent offer it is for sale now.
You made the right choice! Still, twenty years on, its a difficult bike to beat. I still have my original 950 that has over 225,000 kms on it, and another for when the current one wears out... although it looks as if it'll go forever! Greetings from Jūrmala!
Great video! Thank you for all your efforts. I'm in Imlil right now, lying on my bed in a guest house using your video to plan the rest of my trip for the next week or so around Morocco. I'm really appreciating the way you have displayed the text in the bottom left-hand corner so I can look it up on Google maps. Thank you so much. Ride safe.
It's been a long time since I last got a YT recommendation which actually got me interested. Shots, color grading, storytelling, pace of the video: it's all perfect. I agree with your philosophy, I personally got a '91 Africa Twin RD04 with the same goal of riding anywhere, analogically. Deserved a subscription and will follow along the channel, cheers from Italy man!
You guys are wild 😂 I could never imagine riding these places in Kosovo, tbh i know my countrys landscape is beautiful, (the balkan in general is beautiful) but i never knew there's such places 😍 . Thanks for visiting these countries
My favourite T7 mod is a $25 handlebar switch connected to wire from the abs fuse. Switch abs off whilst on the fly and back on (have to turn the key off briefly whilst rolling).
Good to watch. Few tips: Pivot pegs in combination with twin pegs. Love them! For your ram mounts, maybe an idea to put some of those white sealing tape on them like we use to waterproof connections of water pipes?
Heard some good words about pivot pegs, but also some bad reviews. On the fence about those, since the’re not exactly cheap for an experiment. With ram mounts will try the good ol’ locktite 1st, but sealing tape might work too.
@@ArvidsBaranovs vienīgi papildus bīstamība pēc hārdinieka, ka gribētos braukt kā ar to, bet skila ta nav :D Piem tur kur tas baļķis priekšā prāts bļauj lets gooooo :D
no point of changing oil more often then 10k km, waste of money, oil and environment. Also chain oiler make4s no sense for modern O-ring chains which are lubed internally. Oiler do more harm then good especially off-road.
You do you, I’ll stick to 5k also judging by the oil that comes out of it after heavy off-roading. And I’ll also stick to lubing my chain, it’s not a question about internal lubrication, but I have no fun riding a rusted and screeching chain on the road. And I commented about lubing off-road already.
even the best oils run like crap at 5k and if you ride really hard its even sooner. If you stick to the manual recommendation youll be rebuilding your engine soon after warranty ends
@@donkeizluv this. I ride medium intensity, so 5k for me. I know guys who change after 3k after doing a rally. I can understand the 10k from manufacturers point of view - it looks good in the manual and they don't care if the bike will outlast your grandchildren. Even my dealer suggested "unofficially" 5k and they have don't benefit from it, since I can change the oil myself.
That would be a downgrade in terms of real adventure riding. Nothing beats quality and simplicity. Will get my T7 World Rally in two days. Can't wait. T7 is something special. It is a modern XRV 750 Africa Twin produced by a different manufacturer.
Amazing for your video of Morocco motorcycle adventure | First steps in Africa (ENG Subtitles). it is really, I admire you for the driving along way. I love your video. Thanks for sharing.🥰❤❤❤
Great video! Got me looking for a 950 now :) Can you tell me a bit more about the "low quality fuel ignition system switch" mentioned at 7:08? Is that like a physical toggle to adjust ignition? Never seen that before so would love to learn more!
Thanks! As I understand it’s basically just a physical switch that changes the fueling that’all. Not sure it’s needed anymore, 20 years have passed after all. Fill find out soon, since we’re going on new 901s to Africa soon and filling up from bottles there.
Top notch video. The flow, the narrative, and most importantly the landscapes are just amazing. Keep up the good work, and you're very welcome anytime in the ancient country of Morocco.
I have a 2017 KTM 1090R that I love, but like you, do not like all the electronics on the new KTM 790/890/1290 bikes, and would never buy one. At this point I am interested in a KTM 950 SE. Great video, thanks for sharing.
