I plugged the yellow AND red wire into the green wired box and it started working.

@@jurodelco do you mean the old chain? I cut the rivets because I didn’t want the blade of the grinder to catch during the cutting of the link and damage the swinging arm. 👍🏻 better to take 5 mins more than having to buy a new swinging arm 💵

@@willurban837 🤣 Same here! Thanks for the love. New episode coming soon 👍🏻

@@love2huntbooks2 that’s my Garmin Zumo XT sat nav ✌🏼

@@advdan Yeah, i went through your channel and found the video of you making a custom mount. Brilliant job and jealous 😁

@@jblue1299 I’ve dropped mine many times on the trails and they’re still holding up strong. Although they are going rusty in some places.

@@Pebbzor hey, it’s a company called “Cool covers” I absolutely love it on hot days!

@@advdan I’ve had Sit&fly but it doesn’t fit the tiger. Thanks.

@@advdan the cool cover is twice the price 😅

@@Mwaves7857 No problem at all. Thanks for the great feedback! I have one coming soon 🫡

I can’t remember exactly how much they weigh but off the top of my head, only about a bag of sugar each side. And I don’t think it will affect the handling as it’s an equal weight each side of the bike. Might affect the aerodynamics if you’re a racing kinda guy though 🧐

Thank you so much 🫡🏍️

In your service manual it will tell you what needs to be done, or you can find it online. It really is just oil, filter, can change out the coolant (if you want) and then just a general check over the bike to make sure all the bolts are tightened properly, check wheel bearings etc. Although if you do it yourself it will void the Warranty (apparently) It’s ridiculous really

I do clean it after every ride with a jetwash, just no point making it showroom shiny when I ride 90% off-road. Once a month it gets a solid clean though. It hadn’t been ridden for 4 months over the winter and my garage is really damp, so it’s pretty unavoidable to get rust on the chain

@@advdan fair enough Dan

Haha! It’s the very first way I learned to do them on an excavator about 15 years ago. Still the best way as it drains all the oil out the filter too 👍🏻

And the rusty Stainless steel bracket for the front brake reservoir.... :(

@@advdan any remedies for it

@@advdan some one told me to paint the thing

@@adityahandu1008 yeah I would suggest cleaning it with wire wool first and then painting it 👍🏻

It’s not essential to change the sprockets if they aren’t worn out.

Thanks! There are companies like Evotech that do, but the satnav sticks out so far that it’s just ugly. Tried to get mine as close to the windshield as possible.

I’ve got my trail tyres back on now. Done them the day after this video. And took the pannier racks off. Got another set of Metzeler karoo 4’s as they done me well last year but I definitely want to try the Michelins! Would definitely be up for a ride out. Yeah we must be pretty near each other or atleast ride the same trails

@@advdan i live in newtown mid wales out most weekends mostly saturdays get in touch if you want to go for a trail ride.

Before or after the the chain replacement? The bike had not been ridden properly or maintained for about 3 months, chain seized, pads rusted to the discs and I realised the wheel bearings need replacing. I ride it hard off road in the Welsh summer months so it’s no surprise

​@@advdan Yeah before but it all makes sense now! No worries either, ride it like you stole it!

I’m on about 8000 miles. I unfortunately didn’t ride it for a few months over the winter and didn’t keep up with the maintenance so the salt on the roads absolutely killed the chain while it was stationary over winter 😞

@@advdan nightmare! Looks awesome now though! I try to keep the bike clean as possible especially the chain!

Sprockets next 🫡

@@advdandespués? Se cambian a la vez todo el conjunto

Well, the morning after I filmed this, I took the wheels off and got the tyres changed over for summer off road ones. To be honest, I just had to put the wheel back on for video continuity 😂 The only thing I can think of is that the wheel bearings are on the way out. When I took the wheels to the shop for tyres, the guy noticed that the spacers have worn out on one side, which means the bearings are loose. (wish I could post a photo on here so you could see what I mean) The noise could also be to do with the fact that I didn’t ride the bike for 3 months before the new chain 😐 ashamed of myself for the lack of maintenance

It’s the standard one, I just cut around 6 inches off it. It’s way better for off-road but not great on tarmac rides

They’re Metzeler Karoo 4’s

I would love to ride in Turkey, my friend has family in Fethiye. Maybe one day I will ride there 🙏🏻

I did have one somewhere, it got lost in the house move and I only realised as I was gathering tools for this service 😬 Thanks so much, just making videos that I’d personally like to watch. I prefer just the sound of tools and ambient noise 👊🏻

Use hiflo oil filters and they have a hex nut on the end and you can use a socket or basic box wrench

@@brianErickson-bx9hp I don't trust those ends not to twist off.

I use a rear paddock stand and place some weight on the seat.

Front wheel chock is the way to go if it’s a solo job.

@AReimann1 /Motology Films has a brilliant video about chain tension. Well worth a watch

It’s much better there. And also I can mount my drone remote on it too 👌🏼 Thanks for the kind words 👌🏼

No tenes que el peso del conjunto dale la rosca del tablero de instrumentos de la moto?

@@advdan I had a Samsung Active5 (10inch) tablet, I've been trying to get mounted now for 9 mths and still cant figure it out successfully. It has to stick out from the curvature of the windshield enough, yet is heavy and can easily deflect downward with bumps and off road stuff etc. I will have to fabricate a mount or something somehow, as all the aftermarket solutions have to be combined and mix and matched and none of them work well enough to mount it. I'm very frustrated and not even using the tablet at all as...nothing works?!?!?!? I'll even pay you if you were able to make one for me... not kidding and i'm desperate LOL.

Standard exhaust 👌🏼

HAHA I know right. The suspense kills me!

Wtf has a slow garage door got to do with this lads blog ! and todays 🔔end award goes to you mr Taylor kiel

Ok. It was a joke. Clearly the content creator understood that. I also complimented the video.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I unfortunately don’t have this workshop anymore as we’ve moved to Wales from Kent. But I have a 6000 mile service video coming soon 👌🏼
