Hi, thanks for the comment and watching the video. I'm sure they are, I was refering to the OEM and a couple of other brands that have only 3 points of mounting.

Sorry?

Hi Idris, sorry for delay, please see below for the answers to your questions; 1 The oil I use for the final drive is Castrol Syntrax 75W-90. 2 I always go with manufacturer's recommendation of oil, ie for BMW's I use 5W-40. Can I recommend my video on how to changing the engine oil and oil filter as a guide for you.

@@robchisholm72 thanks for your reply I already change the oil almost people use 10w40 motul 7100 as 5 w40 it's not available. is that ok?

@@robchisholm72 I did change transmission oil 75w90 but I do have leak drive side inside swing arm. The previous owner did drill swing arm to make drain in case water go inside now the transmission oil go out from this hole. There is a seal tto replace and do you have any video about. Thanks

Hi mass4552, I know, as I said in the video I've had first hand knowledge of my car and a large (for European) deer having a crash. What I'm getting at is I am not declaring if you fit one of these whistles you WILL NEVER have a crash with an animal, I'm saying fit one and it will reduce the chances.

@@robchisholm72 I agree. It was not an attack. It was a wholehearted endorsement of the use of the whistles.

Thank you for your support.

Hi Jeff4x4, I can say with hand on heart, these Resin Bike pads are very well produced, fit perfectly and are hard wearing - also they come in a multitude of designs for the GS that match OEM patterns and the colours match close enough. Highly recommend you investigate Resin Bike further and I'm confident, you won't be disappointed. You can either go to their website directly, or I've since found there's a selection of their products on Amazon.....

Hi Barry, as mentioned in the video, it was after my 'interaction' with a fully grown Roe deer, that killed my Ford Mondeo in Lincolnshire that I discovered these gadget's. Since then, I've fitted them to every bike and car I've had. As you know yourself, it can be a very scary moment. Also, as mentioned - I'm not saying fit one of these and you'll never have a crash with wildlife, but, in my experience, it reduces the chances. Glad it's been of use and hopefully will give you a little extra peace of mind on the rural roads we all prefer.

Hi, despite this product having been around for a few years now, it's flown under the radar for the majority of motorcyclists, including myself - and I was in the industry for 10 yrs! It really is a great piece of security BUT as I mentioned, it's a bit of a faff to set up and to get the perfect fit, however, once you suss it out, it's one of those ''fit and forget'' items. As with any 'disc lock' I still use an old fashioned hi viz reminder 'cable' but, the advantage is this won't let you move the bike at all. If you get one and have any issues with fitting, let me know, I may be able to help.

Given that pair where used constantly for a few years and I lost track of the miles I've done in them, I have to say not that well. The main velcro tab started to 'unstitch' itself, the soft grey palm area has worn away to a degree and most annoying, the Gore-Tex liner has detatched itself from one hand, so when I remove my hand I take halft the lining with me.

Hi 20pump, your very welcome, glad it's still of use.

Hi Nigel, haha thanks, as mentioned in the vid, this isn't the first time I've had one, it was that ballistic power I missed (for swift overtakes only of course.....)

Hi, firstly, thank you for the complement, always appreciated. Unfortunately, this channel isn't large enough for me to get producs from say Klim or Rev-It, so reviews are done on my personal kit alone.

Hi, they certainly can be, but it can also potter through town very politely. On my old K1300S I did a couple Iron Butt ride's on it. I agree totally, they are super comfortable and practicle (for a big bike) .

Hi Willie, no sorry. I've been looking out for it but not seen anything.

@@robchisholm72 Just back from a 5 day trip on the VFR crossrunner. What a bike. It handles and rides so well.

It is a great bike, and such a cracking engine. I'm glad you share my love of it. However, for me, It was a commuter tool and after years of service, just wanted a more 'sporty' sports tourer. My email is robchish@googlemail.com, drop me a line and I'll send the cool covers to you.

Hi MPrider18, sorry to hear you've not had a good experience. However, I've not had any issues with the K3 and can you provide proof of your claim I'm 'sponsored'? Because, if that's the case, I've not seen any of the money you claim I've been paid! Please take your frustration's elsewhere.

Hi Willie, fab the cool covers seat cover is yours! If the last 3 letters of the Crossrunner you've got are TDO, then yes it could well be. It's a great bike, but I'll explain my reason for getting rid of it in a video shortly. In the mean time can you send me an email address, so I we can arrange postage. Thanks again.

I flushed it through.

Hi Kieran, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I looked at both the Scottoiler V and E systems as well as the Tutoro. The reason I opted for the Tutoro was simple. It's a simpler system to install, doesn't require power from the battery or cutting into the bikes vacuum pressure system and because it's purely using gravity and the bikes natural vibration works every time. I would recommend the Tutoro every single time, the only thing you need to do is remember to check the oil reservoir - that's it!

@@robchisholm72 Thanks Bob, Yes it does seem a simple full proof system. The only thing that concerns me is the potential for over delivery of oil? Surely off road the Tutoro requires adjusting and then readjusting when back on the road? Or have you found the oil to always be spot on

Hi Willie, go for it! I've now sold mine, but the VFR800X is a stonking and practicle bike.

Thanks. Yes it's definitely Bob's old bike on the videos. The headlight protector and yellow tape is still on it also. Bought it from Motorad BMW dealer in Dalkeith Trade sales department.

Thank you

Hi Nigel, maybe use this video when you need to change the front brake pads.

Hi Nigel, glad to have been of help, like many things, yes it's 'easy' when you know what you're doing but before then it can be rather daunting. Once you're happy changing pad's before you know it, you'll be doing an oil change (see one of my other video's) and other 'basic' maintenance. Owning a set of tools is always useful and is like Pringles "Once you pop.... you can't stop".

Hi Jude, thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. Always appreciated.

Thank you!!

Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment, it means alot and rest assured, I will.

Hi and thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a question. I used different makes of brake pads, at 1:50 is with OEM BMW pads. While at 10:10 I've used Brembo pads. The spring plate would not fit as at 1:50 with the Brembo pads but did fit securely as at 10:10. So in one way, they are both right.

Ok grazie mille, anche io ho usato adesso le Brembo rosse e ho montato tutto come hai fatto tu …perfetto. Grazie sei un bravo istruttore

Hi Jay, hottest I've worn this in was around 34c/93f during the 'hot' spell last year here in the UK. To be fair, either will do for those hotter days, the Urbane, does have more pockets while the Honister is more 'close fitting'.

Hi Barry, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad the videos have helped, that was the point of putting them out there.

Ha ha, thanks Adrian, glad the review helped you.

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Yes they are expensive, but, by cheap by often. Be mindfull to select 1 size up from your normal shoe size as I've found they do come in slightly small. I can also highly recommend the Daytona Roadstar or Roadstar Pro. These do have a resoling option, I'm not sure about the Rev-It's in all honesty.

Can I also add that I've done a review on the Daytona's which you might like to check out.

Hi John, thank you for your kind words and comments. I hope you like what you find.

Thanks for watching and commenting

Hi, thanks for watching and replying. I'm glad it was helpful!

Absolutely, it's 'belt and braces'. Copper grease withstands higher temperatures and also aids removing the bolts next time, but you are correct, torque to correct setting every time.

Hello and thanks for watching and commenting. This is a premium brand of motorcycle boot. Given the boots have a Gore-Tex liner, they are breathable. I've used them in all seasons and when paired with the Daytona Trans Tex socks, this increases the breathability for the warmer months. These are a great 'Touring' boot which will work in all but the hottests days, 28c +. However, if you're looking for a boot for all but the cold Winter months, can I suggest looking at the Daytona Spirit Pro Perforated Gore-Tex boot. Personally, the choice of boot ultimately depends on the type of riding you do, all year commuting, Summer touring or a track focused boot. I prefer a touring boot as this tends to cope better with most weather conditions. I hope this helps?

Hi, thanks for watching and taking the time to message me. I wear the Medium. Be mindfull the jacket needs to be close fitting.

Haha, significantly younger and with more hair.

Hi, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, I agree. For me, the choice came down to partly price (the Touratech was more expensive at the time of purchase) and the design of the Wunderlich. Both my Honda VFR800X Crossrunner and BMW R1200GS (now replaced with a R1250GS) have one fitted to them.

Watch my video on ear protection then

Yes bud, hope so.

Absolutely, the Knox jacket is an amazing bit of protective clothing. I'm the same, I hardly know I've got it on. For me, personally I still prefer a good pair of leather trousers with knee and hip armour, but thats just a personal choice. Thanks for both watching the video review and taking the time to share your thoughts.

Hi, thanks for watching and also for yor comments. Like you if I'm using a car or motorcycle then weight isn't high on my priorities. However, I, like you, prefer to be able to stand up in the tent. As you may see in the video, I use the vestibule (which can hold a large adventure bike) as my 'day room'. I use it for cooking and also hang laundry/wet clothing in, while I've still got the sleeping area which remains a clean and dry area. I've had my tent for over 10 yrs and its still going strong, yes, it's not cheap but I do believe it's worth the cost. I think if you did buy one, you'll be happy with it.

Hi - thank you for watching and leaving such a lovely comment. This is the very reason why I have done a few basic 'DIY' maintenance how to video's. So glad it's inspired you to do this. Should you have any 'challenges' please, don't hesitate to message me and if I can, I'll help you.

Hi, thanks for your input. You're correct, if the retaining bolt on the top isn't tight enough they won't hold the speed, (I've found an allen key is needed to tighten it sufficiently). This being said, I don't believe they are designed to hold the speed for any length of time, simply to give you time to shake off any cramp in your wrist or hand.

Hi, I was wearing it in mid 30 degrees during the filming, yes. I would wear it as my warm/hot Summer jacket without question and when moving you do get good airflow across the body, but I found a sweat patch behind the optional D3O chest armour area. Thanks for watching and taking time to leave a question.

@@robchisholm72 thank you for the reply! I think I'll pull the trigger on this jacket as its so versatile

Hope you got the jacket and are happy with it?

I tried both 'standard' and 'Pro' versions at the same time and I didn't notice any difference with regards to the armour. For me, the 'Pro' just felt nicer and suited me. As mentioned in the video, the differences are not great but I honestly believe if you can opt for the 'Pro'.

@@robchisholm72 Thank you for taking the time to reply and share your experience. That helps, and I think I'll go with the "Pro." Part of me thinks, "but the Pro is so much more expensive," and part of me thinks, "but if you're already going to spend $400, why not spend the additional and KNOW you're getting the top-tier of the top boot in the world?" Either that's sound logic or damn good self-justification haha! Thank you again. ✌🤘

Hi, yes it was

@@robchisholm72 I wasnt too sure or I would of come over to sag hello 🙈

Thank you very much for your kind words about the review. I hope you have as much enjoyment and comfort out of them as I have. These are an ideal Winter as well as 'touring' boot.

Personally, it's the best tent going when travelling with comfort. I'm like you, I love it.

Glad it was of use
