Updates: Cancer, DRZ EOL and the 2024 KLR Adventure ABS
After months commuting back and forth to the hospital to be with my wife who is fighting esophageal cancer, the DRZ engine rebuild came to an end, and I pull the trigger on a new bike - the Kawasaki 2024 KLR 650 Adventure ABS.
The DRZ is back together, and the oil was simply due to the higher oil pressures with new gaskets and rings, pushing out through the head cam gasket. A $300.00 fix to add two dabs of liquid gasket and the engine is now dry as a bone. Successful rebuild, but I needed a reliable bike.

DRZ 400 New Valve/Piston Install

After reviewing the last attempt at this procedure, I realize nobody wants to hear my crappy music overtop the tutorial sections, so here is a much quieter version with just the details. If you are having a hard-start issue with your drz, you may need to swap out the valves, not just the shims. This is how I did it.

DRZ 400 Speedometer / Dash Cluster replacement
มุมมอง 3.5Kปีที่แล้ว
Replacing the failed sensor for the speedometer drive assembly...ultimately used an aftermarket analog dial instead. Save $500.00 - the aftermarket dial cost me about $30.00 on Amazon. It is not possible to find the drive assembly online, so you need to buy the entire dash - not cool Suzuki...anyways - hope this helps. Peace out.

Just a recap on work done over the past few months. With full intentions of getting out kiteboarding, the bike was having none of it...muffler replaced, speedometer repairs, gear shifter seal failure, new bearings, carburetor issues...it never ends.

DRZ 400 Carburetor Tuning and Test Ride
มุมมอง 70ปีที่แล้ว
After having some idling issues, I removed and replaced the Mikuni carb with a knock off - and learned the most efficient way to remove and replace the carburetor...many many times. I am somewhat of a DRZ carb removal expert at this point... This is also a test of my new Rode Lapel microphone, connected to the Insta360 RS1 camera, as recommended by @DorkintheRoad (much appreciated bud). This is...
Custom Bike-Bag Shakeout
มุมมอง 65ปีที่แล้ว
It's been a minute. Unfortunately it takes a long time to capture, edit and produce content, and TH-cam doesn't incentivize content creation in any logical manner, so you get what you pay for. While this was an R&D shakeout for the custom bike bags, I also set up the Xeigu G90 and made contacts, but unfortunately did not get the footage to cooperate, so you get a 'what's in the bag' gear video....

Emergency Harness with Prusik Knots - Line Ascending
มุมมอง 16Kปีที่แล้ว
While here I demonstrate the use of the venerable Prusik knot for ascending a running (or fixed) line, the same technique can be applied to hauling gear across a river, extracting a vehicle from a ditch, self-rescue and a range of similar applications. Having a simple emergency belay/rappel kit can ensure your safety, and provide peace of mind when hiking with less experienced climbers. Being a...
VHF/UHF Communications

Don't have a HAM license? There are plenty of other options available. Here are a few. The most important part of radio communications is to have someone one the other end to talk to, so let's all maintain our alliances - and keep the infighting to a dull roar, or if absolutely necessary, try humor.

That pickup doesnt measure resistance. Its a coil of wire. When the magnet passes by it creates a voltage pulse signal.
mine is hard to start, and when i give it gas while starting it puffs from the air intake, could this be bad valve adjustment or is it the carb?
Sorry to hear the news. Hang tough and keep the faith. All the best. Great bike, the swiss army knife of adventure dualsports.
Analog speedometer looks great, much better than the OEM digital.
What did you set them too?
I will have to check the specs. I think its between .10 - .20 on the intake, .20 -.30 on the exhaust. You should be able to download the manual pdf which has the details.
Awesome music!!
you sound like a fucking nerd lol
I do not know anything about Radios. However, I wanted to support your channel and started with this video of yours.
Hi there, Hope you are doing well. I was analyzing your TH-cam channel and I am really impressed by your videos but your TH-cam channel has some issues. You are struggling for video views and video ranking. You have made many videos so far but you are not getting views and subscribers as expected. Because you have no complete SEO for any videos, no channel tags, no proper video tags, no end screens, no chapters added and no SEO-friendly titles and descriptions. If you complete all tasks then you will get more views and subscribers with monetization. I have an amazing idea to fix it.
Great point on vestibule needing to be taut and to carry an extra tarp. Until this year I haven’t but now I am l rain falls much heavier now
The lowly tarp is perhaps the most underrated invention of the 20th century. The uses are endless, and the weight is negligible. Thanks for watching!
The Prusik, with an "inch-worm motion, allowed me to ascend 100 ft elevation. It works.
A lot of mistakes in this tutorial. 🤦😱😳 It seams that you are looking for the right technique in the comments. Please delete this bs.
Could you put a "nut" on the speedo cable connection, that limits the speedo cable from over inserting and displacing the encoder from its ideal position? Would be similar to what the usually done with nuts to adjust the position of clutch and brake cables.
Well, two issues: to try that I would a) need another unit that doesn't have the slippage in the wheel and b) the cable needs to be fully seated or it doesn't catch the lower assembly properly. I think I will try this fix and see if it works out for now.
Cool camera!
Good series, excellent thoughts! Thanks for sharing. Need help with DigiRig if you can help.
Do you have a g90/digirig/win10 complete process video. It is surely needed and would be greatly appreciated, being all the nuances of these items. 😊 Thanks in advance!
Sorry I didn't see this until now. Unfortunately I am limited to ten minutes and the windows process is involved. I can try to get around to it though. Thanks for watching
Thank you! Very nice work and exactly what I needed to get another EmComm perspective. Keep up the good work.
No its a clove hitch.Please be careful
I find that using a Bachmann’s knot works better than a prusik as a replacement hand ascender. The addition of the carabiner allows it to slide up the rope easier while still creating enough friction to not slip when loaded. The carabiner also lets you easily attach a foot loop to aid in ascending, as well as providing a good place to grip. Another trick i like to use is flaking my rope on my shoulders, draped around my neck. For me at least, it’s much faster. An old firefighter taught me it, ever since trying it once I’ve never went back to the old method.
Tbh the prusik is probably the last slip/grip knot i would use, bachmann is good but never grip or load the crab as that is not how the knot/hitch works, it'll slip, only ever load the loop.
Your square knot looks incorrect, be careful of that.
Yes I see that on the harness. I was tying this for the camera. You can see I actually tied a second harness (black) with the proper knot. The figure eight has never failed me yet, so that is just a security feature, but definitely a reason to triple check. I think it's actually just an overhand...good eye though.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I liked and subscribed and hit the bell icon even before I finished watching the video. You are the only person I could find that does my two favorite activities. Adventure motorcycle riding AND Ham Radio.
Glad to hear it! Appreciated.
