Just recently stumbled across this great editing app for the iphone and i am super impressed and loive working with it. This is gonna be my favorite workstation and super practical for on the road editing.Love it!
apps.apple.com...
Final Cut Pro X
For this Video and for all the videos i do at home, not being out with the bike i use Final Cut since for me it was the easiest to use program with a very intuitive Interface and cool colorgrading options.
KineMaster on Iphone
Here's the link to the IOS App:

Using the Iphone allows me to cut all my videos and clips on the road without carrying the laptop which makes everything so much easier and it's fun with the app;)
More about that and how i do stuff i will probably explain in future videos.

👍good points Marc, remember "blue Loctite" is your friend for loose fasteners!

@MarcTravels 2 года назад

Yes I will get me some 🤙🏼

@hondaryder3779 2 года назад

Fellow travellers on older bikes: allways use the oil the manufacturer recommends. 10w40 semi synthetic in this case, if you put full synthetic your clutch could start slipping( wet clutch).

@MarcTravels 2 года назад

Alrighty. Thanks for the tip. Will do! Cheers, Marc 🤙🏼

@user-sw2lv3zp6o 2 года назад

I would check the oil level every day. I see the oil filler is in the same position as on my old XT500. In '86, I made the mistake of not checking the oil every day in Spain on the XT and ran it short, starving the top-end. It rattled all the way back to England and required a top-end rebuild. Cheap enough but all my fault. Great idea to check everything is tightened up on a big single.

@MarcTravels 2 года назад

Yes checking very regularly 🤗

Neat. I didn't know the Dominators had oil frames.

@MarcTravels 3 года назад

Yeah actually do! Good system and does keep the oil temp solid, I mean unless you’re in the city at 40 degrees Celsius in summer 😂🥵

@burnsystem1177 3 года назад

Caution! This is not the correct method to check the oil level on honda RFVC engines like the dominator. You may damage your engine! The best way to check the oil level is to do it while the engine is hot and within seconds after the engine has stopped. The oil goes back into the engine when the engine is stopped, and the level is done in the frame. You can find the method on the maintenance manuals. Your Dominator is beautiful! love this version

Thanks for tuning in and the advice.🤙🏼 have a Great day, Marc

@sammlertube9785 2 года назад

@@MarcTravels Thats also the first thing I noticed. If you check and refill like this, you will have too much oil in, which is something, this engines don't like. I actually have two of this old Dom's, already had 7. But its correct, to check oil level of such big bore aircooled Engines often. The guy from who I bought the last one with damaged engine, didn't: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a3B1FRDgSGM.html Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany

@MarcTravels 2 года назад

Kein Problem, deutsch passt auch. Danke auch fürs reinschauen und den tip. Werde auf jeden Fall gut drauf achten nicht zu viel rein zu machen. Bis jetzt hatte ich auch noch nie zu viel drin beim Öl wechseln, eher immer etwas zu wenig. Aber gut, habe auch vor dem Ölwechsel natürlich nicht nochmal nachgefüllt.;) Liebe Grüße, Marcus

@user-sw2lv3zp6o 2 года назад

I spotted that as well. My XT500 was the same.

@olafzijnbuis 2 года назад

At 01:22 Careful. You better use proper motorcycle oil. Your bike has a wet clutch. Some oils for cars contain friction modifiers. Using such oil in a motorcycle with a wet clutch may cause a slipping clutch. If you are lucky the cheaper car oils do not contain friction modifiers. I would only use it in an emergency,

@MarcTravels 2 года назад

The oil I use is motorcycle oil 👍🏼

@olafzijnbuis 2 года назад

Ok. I did not see it on the can. Nice bike.

@olafzijnbuis 2 года назад

What I like about your bike is: That it is very basic Dry sump oil system Kickstarter Prolink rear suspension And no CAN bus / iPhone App / ABS / traction-control and all the other things that can fail. I owned a 1982 Honda CBX-1000 Prolink for 23 years from 1998. More parts, but still simple. Easy to maintain, and trouble-free.

@keesverhagen9227 2 года назад

May i recommend the E-Scott oiler ? It is so easy to install and it will lube the chain constantly. On my second last bike a 800 XC the chain did more then 65000 km. After filling the reservoir you only need to take a little bit of chainoil with you. A few thousend of km without any hasle.

@MarcTravels 2 года назад

Yeah good idea! Will do that when I’m back I. Berlin. Make it a video probably, to show you guys 🤗🤙🏼 thanks for tuning in 👍🏼

@keesverhagen9227 2 года назад

@@MarcTravels There is also a big reservoir for it. Then you can do 10.000 km without refilling. Tubelube or something similar it is called. But if you will Google you probably will find something for a handjob.😇🤭🤭

Good maintenance........ Hi Marc Does mean reason to install Pannier rack side carrier for protection when motorcycle fall or to carrying the hard luggage cases?

@MarcTravels 3 года назад

Hey, actually I have drybags soft panniers, but I had the problem that they push the plastic against the exhaust so I installed the rack. But anyways rack is always a good protection, you’re right!👍🏼👍🏼 cheers

@ede6466 3 года назад

Hi Marc, Little question, when you ride with you Honda for long travels, what is the temperature of the oil?

@MarcTravels 3 года назад

Hey man, thanks for reaching out. Usually under normal weather conditions it’s between 90-95 C, but it does go up with hot weather and/or city traffic. Last year in Italy and Croatia it was up to 42C in the shades, so I had to stop when she got over 110C oil temperature. But usually no problems with over heating. What’s yours like?

@ede6466 3 года назад

@Marc Travels I have a XR600R 1987, i live in Belgium, when the T° is 20°C, after 20 kms, my XR600 is 120°C hot, it is not normal. I 'dont know what is the problem.

Hello Marc, I know you are not driving the Honda anymore, but I still have a little question for you about the MRA Windscreen you are using. Do you have problems with your handlebar/ mirors hitting the MRA windscreen? Because I've just bought one and I have that problem.... :/ Video of the problem: ru-vid.com8WG2P0BKU8o Thank's and have a good trip on your electric motorcycle :)
