I agree, love the short concise video, lots of surprises like that air filter and broken peg mount. I have already ridden BMW's but I would like one of these but man do the have a lot of problems, side stand, fuel pumps, starting, and many more but most RU-vidrs think it's still worth it. I think I'll wait until they work some of the bugs out of it.
@@gregatized I’m a huge advocate for using your stuff. So many people keep their bikes in “pristine” condition because they’re afraid they’ll “lose value” on a stupid trade in! Dude, your skid plate says it all. Someday I want to be as cool as you.
I was looking at buying a Pan American until I found out that you have to remove the gas tank to service the Air Filter (really dumb). Seeing your video I was hoping to see how difficult the gas tank removal proceedure is, sadly your video skipped right over it without showing anything on how to remove the gas tank. Seeing the how HD is using the filter backwards also seems really dumb.
Sorry I skipped the steps for ya. The first time removing the tank was annoying but now it’s like any other task. Most modern non-cruiser motorcycles these days require removing the tank for air filters. My Yamaha and Kawasaki were this way as well. Thanks for watching!
Africa Twin is the same. A lot of modern motors have direct feed from the filter. You should look up a Honda gold wing air filter.... Removing a tank and 15 minutes of time is Nothing compared to the 4 hr job that is
