Appreciate your content! Excellent info!
Think I missed the point here. 'Tactical? 😂😂😂. Seems like a total waste of money.
Always well done Mike. Thanks as always for your insights and knowledge.
Great video! Well done. I think you’ve sold me
I also have the lone Rider foot pegs I waited forever for them I was getting ready to cancel the order when they finally came and I do absolutely love them the absolutely reduce vibration big time.
If you want an American made Pan Am better get one quick, they will be made in Asia soon.
Excellent and honest review! Like that you covered the Bluetooth part and issues. Also thought the mount was AMPS in the back, good to know it’s not. Cheers
It works flawlessly if you connect the phone to the Packtalk directly which almost all reviews at TH-cam points out!
I heard you later in the video recommended that 👍
Great video
Finalmente qualcuno che ha chiarito la questione ...grazie 👍👍
Ironically you can get better built by buying a cf moto mt .... I ironically
Got them, why? Easy to put on and take off! No ugly brackets when off.
How much would the electrical update be?
If I recall correctly, it’s about $2,000 in parts.
wow, most comprehensive review i've seen yet on these devices. excellent!
will the carpuride w702 monitor tire pressure.......Fobo 2 ?
No, no tire pressure monitoring on this unit.
Did you have any problems with the front brake revisor hitting the device making hard left turns?
no, but with my risers, my handle bars are further back than stock.
Mike , You ARE The Man!!!!! Thank you so much for professionally presented informative videos. Makes owning and riding a Pan America even more fun and interesting.
Been riding for a long time. I've never thought about a motorcycle warranty until I bought my HD Pan America. It is something I'm considering prior to getting my next bike.
should have my extended warranty video posted next week
Thank u for plain talk a person can understand. Great videos
Great quality information as always...
Another very useful vid Mike - you've made living with my 22 PA S a little easier
Good info, thanks
Great content, thank you.
I wish you posted more videos. Always informative. I would like to see you change the air filter on the pan america.

I don’t know why anybody would buy one of these unreliable, poorly manufactured hunks of junk
How much does the Pan America bike weigh?
@@scotthildebrand1904 mine weighs right at 600lbs with a full tank of gas and no side bags.
So what have we learned? The 2024 Pam America is still a fast, fun and UNRELIABLE motorcycle.
The kind of reliability I would expect from a used 10 year old motorcycle. Still very interested in the Pan America, but I'll be giving them a few more years to iron out the issues.
It also doesn't have a Aux output port wich IS available on the car unit.Most Honda Goldwings have a Aux port so i can hear everything via my main speakers.
Bike sounds like a piece of shit. Had Hondas/yamahas/BMWs/Ducatis and put easily 10k miles in less than a year. WTF Harley.
I got this year's cvo. I love the cases. The seat is meh. I find myself standing up on the pegs once in a while on long rides. The 3" risers the dealer put on work well for me. My only complaint of the storage is i don't have any hard case that can store my helmets. Too small.
Child labor😂😂. He looked so thrilled.😂😂
😆
thank you, excellent tip!
Thanks, Mike. Dealer tried to charge +400 usd to 10k maintenance just to change spark plugs, but i was able to do it by myself - thanks to this video of yours.
Thanks Mike! Just asked my dealer to do the update while in for 5k service and of course they forgot. I said screw it and followed your guide! Only did it today but so far so good! thanks for the video.
Great videos. Where did you find an 8 mm socket to fit the spoke nuts that are inset in the wheel?
@@tobycatron2103 just a regular craftsman socket I’ve had for years.
@@MikesMotorbikeChannelI tried tow craftsman sockets. Guess I’ll have to sand one down to fit
What I like about it. it’s fast as hell. What I don’t like about it. It’s a hunk of junk.
Awesome videos. Very though. Very meticulously prepared. Glad I’m subscribed. Wealth of information Thank you.
OFF TOPIC QUESTION! What kind of tires do you have? Are they any good? I noticed a different tread on your tires and am curious about them.🤔
Dunlop Trailmax Mission. 3,000 miles on them so far. They are a good compromise between good handling on the road and in dirt / gravel.
@@MikesMotorbikeChannel thank you
Thanks much for the very informative video.
Thank you for the in-depth guide Mike.
I've just done these mods, thank you so much for your hard work
did you have to remove the jiffy stand sensor as per the installation instructions for the adventure stand?
@@stevejones3180 to just install the adv stand, no. Perhaps they state that to prevent you accidentally smacking it with a tool while doing the swap?
I can relate to everything you do, I have the same Promar tire changer. My Springer 08' has a 200 rear that gets a bit tricky trying to keep the tire in the lower chamber of the rim when changing. I even have the same propane heater lolol 😅, anyway glad I came across your vids
Honestly if I ever need todo something to my pan I always check out your channel first before anywhere else 🤙 keep up the awesome work very helpful videos
THIS is an really amazing video, thanks for all the details and the professional presentation! I have a 2022 version. Probably unfortunately bought this year. I had a lot of time and rode 10.000 miles within the last 10 weeks. The good thing, it still rides. The bad: I needed starter assistance 3 times, 3-4 times struggling hard to get it running. Very bad in some foreign country. Now It's at the 10.000 miles service. Mentioned the issues also at 5000 miles service. Not sure what the outcome will be. Your video helps a lot in what upgrades may be possible or not. Unfortunately the seller told me there are no major upgrade from 22 to 24 which are necessary for regular drivers. But it seems something is wrong.
Just wondering if a quadlock wireless carplay would somehow work
Your videos are incredibly clear and helpful! Have used them multiple times!
