There are more ways to boost your range on your motorbike and to stay prepared for the unexpected side quest than Rotopax. Here’s how to think outside the big red box with a few fuel bottles, canisters and gas tanks from the other guys.

@Rosteripulla Год назад

I really appreciate this change. In recent years Ryan made very few actual gear reviews, despite pumping out awesome content. While 43 isn't Ryan, he's still a good host. These new videos really fill a hole with this new more frequent upload schedule, while the overall quality hasn't dropped. Actually, it has gone up constantly.

@pvictor4580 Год назад

@yahavshalem5692 Год назад

I absolutely agree, it's let's Ryan make the high production creative videos while letting 43 make old school gear videos, it's the best of both worlds

@keda7558 Год назад

And this also give us the hope of Top Gear style content in the future where we will perhaps be able to see Ryan and 43 compete for who's the better racer on dirt/track or who's better at buying a cheap bike etc. etc

@thumpertorque_ Год назад

They’re short, concise and to the point. A lot of channels compromise quality when they change their style, upload frequency or add a new member but F9 has kept consistent quality. I would love love to see them become the Donut Media of bikes in terms of new members. I’m not talking about quality because I know a lot of people find them corny but their business structure seems future proof.

My bike has a nearly 5 gallon tank. I still ran out and was on the side of the highway tipping my bike all the way over to get gas from the one side to the petcock side. That got me a few miles.

It got me another few miles to the gas station. Thanks buddy!

Definitely going to pick one of the GL pouches up for my next big trip.

@petebjerkelund5088 Год назад

I went with the individual fuel bottles, so this evaluation was good to see. They allow you to distribute your aux fuel weight as well, and they are easy to pack without a specialized solution. Besides the N&R sacks featured, those standard .9L MSR/Primus/etc fuel bottle also fit perfectly into one of those larger Agri-tubes we all like; with room for a rolled ring of shop towel as vibration support in the cap. If you use an unleaded-fuel burning stove, you will also have plenty of fuel to burn. 👉🏼And great job new/additional guy!

I've always said that I don't care about my fuel efficiency in terms of $/km, but I kinda do care about it due the reason that it affects my range for a given tank size.

Pro tip: If you plug the fuel line from your self made tank in to the tank ventilation hose from a FI bike and make sure it's all sealed up, you can use the same method to extend the range of the FI bike. Proof: the Touratech 20L aux tank for the F800GS/GSA.

I've been using various size RotopaX tanks for years now on both ATV's and motorcycles. At first I really disliked them because of the EPA spout however I replaced them with a different type (RX-SP-VENT) and I couldn't be happier. I fill them up in town and place them in the car and you can't detect a hint of fuel odor in the vehicle at all. I rate them 5 stars.

@charlesgunzelman3323 Год назад

If you want to go smaller, I've been having really good experiences with the large size Seafoam cans. I didn't even know they made that size, saw it sitting on top of the trash can at the auto parts store and gave it a shot. Fits right in my CamelBak and gives me about 50% more than my bike's "reserve" switch.
