Back in Sweden, riding the TET again. We briefly lost track and almost went back up north to make another round trip 🤣, sadly enough we found out before reaching the North Cape. After that we found a really nice place to camp and ran into some motorcycle problems with the DR650.... to be continued!

Test riding a Yamaha Tenere Offroad to forget about our problems
มุมมอง 2.1K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
So today we rented two Yamaha Tenere’s to forget about the blown fork seal on the Transalp. And tomorrow we’ll need to deal with this problem. I tried to trade the owner of Offroad Sweden my Transalp, but he didn’t accept the deal 🤣

How we sleep well during Motorcycle adventures

There is nothing more annoying than having a motocamping trip being ruined by not being able to get enough sleep. It can take a lot of enjoyment out of the experience. Sadly, if you only adventure parttime, its pretty common to lie awake because your in a different environment than your used to. In this video, we share tips on ensuring a good night's sleep during motorcycle adventures. From cho...

Hello from Sydney, Australia. Came to your channel via Dino Tinker Shed, and am now subscribed. Your content looks great, and I liked your presentation style.
Hey! Thank you so much for commenting and subscribing, all the way from Sydney😄. Cheers from the Netherlands😄🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
Op minuut 11:39 zijn jullie bij een hut/cabin aan gekomen. Welke website of app vinden jullie zo iets? Daar ben ik nog niet helemaal achter. Er staat wel een link in de beschrijving, maar dat zijn volgens mij andere hutten waar je ook altijd voor moet betalen en ergens een sleutel moet halen. Hopelijk snappen jullie me met wat ik bedoel 😅😅...
Hey Erwin! Dank voor je comment!😁😁 Waarschijnlijk hebben we deze shelter gevonden op map.campwild.org . Daarop vind je veel shelters/lean to's in Noorwegen en Zweden.😁 Groetjes!🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
👍🏼 Dat ging uiteindelijk toch heel goed 👍🏼 Wat een klus 💪🏽👍🏼
Goede video. Vergeet niet om je cilinder in te rijden.
Hey David! Dankjewel voor je reactie. We hebben de cillinder en zuiger volledig volgens procedure ingereden inmiddels, maar alsnog bedankt voor het melden. 🙋♂️🙋♀️
meer cc in de motorfiets :)
Hahaha yeah met 0.5mm overmaat kan ik het voorwiel bijna niet meer aan de grond houden 😂
That was so awesome! I have 2 bikes.... and I haven't got an idea on how to complete the more complex tasks. You guys were like a shot of energy and confidence <3
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, it really makes our day if we motivate people with our content! What kind of bikes do you have? If you have some experience, trying a valve clearance check can be a really good entry into some more complex stuff 😊🙋♂️🙋♀️.
<3 I have an NC42 CB400 Super Four and a K1 GSX-R 600... They are both solid lifter type inline 4s with the Honda having VTEC (not sure if that = more complexity). Also both due for their services. So yes, a little bit apprehensive to start but ill take it slow and steady. You guys did awesome. It really is confidence building seeing this kind of content.... Especially the fact you don't claim to be experts but still absolutely did a wonderful job. Maybe even better than the pros, considering the time and love that goes into your own stuff <3
When changing the oil, it is a good idea to wear an old pair of household rubber gloves when removing the oil plug. It keeps oil off your skin (used engine oil is carcinogenic) and it stops you scalding yourself if the oil is still hot.
Hey Steve! Thanks for mentioning that and you’re totally right. It’s better to wear gloves. Cheers! 🙋♂️🙋♀️
Love DIY bike maintenance! Another great episode
Glad that you like it Eric😁! Thank you for your comment, always makes our day! 🙋♂️🙋♀️
Your workplace looks great btw!
Thank you so much! It was a lot of work but it really pays off!😁😁🙋♂️🙋♀️
Good work! Hope you do not have to do it again...And it is really nice to see people like you that are not afraid to dig in the problem and get their hands dirty. Ride safe!
Thanks! Haha yes hope the DR will run another 70k before we need to open her up again. But probably we’ll buy some other old bikes an repair those. After one you just feel the need to do more! Ride safe! 🙋♂️🙋♀️
@@Skidmate you are lucky to have the cmsnl shop!when I had the virago750 I did order some parts from them. Bedankt?!?
Can't wait to see you on the road again!
In the summer we are planning an longer wild camping offroad trip through the Balkans. Cant wait to be camping an riding again! Thanks for your comment, cheers!🙋♂️🙋♀️🏍🏍
Great job! + love the fact that she's wearing a skate shoes! 🤘🏻😁
Yes, love my skate shoes! But must say that I haven’t skated in a lonnnngg time. 🙋♀️🏍🤘
Awesome guys...All the best from Canada!
Hey Kenneth! Always nice to get a comment that you liked it, thank you! Cheers from the Netherlands! 🙋♀️🙋♂️
Bravo! My hat is off to both of you. What a great job! You did overcome some issues. Figured it out and got it going. That's what it's all about persevere! I have a 2024 DR. 650 that have done a lot of work on change. The complete suspension complete new all exhaust Open up the air box but a Harley TM40 carburetor that really woke up the motor. I live in Colorado in the Rocky mountains so I ride it high altitude and this setup that I have has never let me down. I love my DR but I do have on order a new CF Moto 450 MT. Waiting for him to come into the states. Can't wait! I already have a ton of stuff for this bike. So good job to you all. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. Keep pushing on
Thank you! In Europe we are so jealous that you can still buy the DR650 “new”. This DR is from 1992 🤯! Sounds like you did an awesome job on your DR, nice! Also we’ve heard a lot of good things on the CF Moto 450 MT. Let us know how it rides!🙋♀️🙋♂️
I love your tee shirt wow
❤😍 Haha yes, they are awesome!
Great video guys, such a good video. Thank you for the shout out and great advice on just starting small and building your skills. You two are amazing. Dino
Sadly enough there is no DR650 after 1996 model to buy in Europe, than we would have had to do a lot less work on the bike. Haha but lucky enough, we have you and your amazing video’s on the DR650. They really helped us out! 🙋♂️🙋♀️🐿
Leuke video Ben benieuwd waar jullie dit jaar naar toe gaan Leuk dat jullie nu je eigen plekje hebben om te sleutelen ik ben jaloers! Tot de volgende 😊
Dank je wel voor je leuke comment! Wij hebben al vette plannen voor aankomend jaar, als alles goed gaat wordt het wildkamperen en de TET rijden in de Balkan. Ben je zelf ook al plannen? 🏍🏍🙋♂️🙋♀️
Awesome job 👍
Hi Michael! Thank you 💪💪
Great stuff keeping it alive and well❤❤

Yeaa TET Norway is really epic! Thanks for your comment🙋♂️🙋♀️
I found a french guy who was really into old Dr's mentioning the pistons specifically on the older modells. He strongly recommend a certain brand för a replacement, hope I can find him for you.
Hey! Thank you for your comment 😁. We're already working on it, but al advice is always welcome! Ride safe! 🙋♂️🙋♀️🏍
helo great video. What size jet do you use on carburetor? i recently got the same bike and mine has 150 jet i dont know is this stock or someone changed it/
Thank you for commenting! I run a 145 main jet, I believe that is the stock size. For more info you can check out thumpertalk or drriders.com, there's loads of information on there 😊🙋♀️
pistonrings! glazed bore!
My 2004 cagiva navigator is the best bike I ever bought!
@@antonjoubert6980 Right on! 😁🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
Take out the engine and remove head and cylinder, probably your piston rings are shot and will need to be replaced. If you do take it apart, better look at all the seals and gaskets while the engine is out. all in all, your baby wants a complete overhaul :)
Thanks for the tips! Yeah, after all the hard work she kind deserves an overhaul right?!😉🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
It has to be piston's rings then.
You'll want to check out the next video😉🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
@@Skidmate 👍 alrite
This is adventure... 😀
Totally, it's gonna get even more adventurous 😅🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
I am so impressed with you two, getting right in there!!!! I love that both of you work so well together. Looks like your into a ring job next but for sure you can do it! Thanks for the footage of my channel I really appreciate it 😊. Looking forward to the next episode Dino
Dino, you're the best! We've learned so much from your content. Take care!🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️🐿️ P.s. we think you'll like the next video😉
Nearly same experience here. Bought an 23 years old Aprilia Pegaso 650 wich the former owner had just used without paying any special attention on service and maintainence. After 200 km of testriding the headgasket was blown. But on that bike it's not possible to take the head of as long as the motor is fully mounted in the frame. An by working on that I found a lot of small but importend things that should have been sorted out once you have the motor on the workbench. Not only on the motor.
Thanks for sharing your story! Haha yeah thats so relatable. Hope you got the bike running again!😁🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
@@Skidmate Yes, but with all the things I found that needed to be done it took me quite a while to get that thing running again. And after that it took months to get the carburetors working good. 🤔😬🤥🙄😐
Interesting video thank you. We are going to be touring a few of the islands early 2025 and have already booked bikes for day rides on Tenerife & Gran Canaria. Do you recommend any motorcycle hire companies on this island?
Hey! Thank you for commenting. Ah that is very nice! Make sure to ride the GC-200 and stop at the Mirador del Balcón on Gran Canaria😁. We rented at Motos Tivoli over there, really great guys. On La Palma we rented at La Palma 24, also great service and nice people. Protective gear was a bit scarce, so it’s a good idea to bring your own stuff. Have fun over there!🙋♂️🙋♀️
@Skidmate Thanks for that 👍Yes the GC200 is one of our favourite roads. Amazing views as you ride along the cliff edge next to the sea. Think I filmed along there about a year ago on our channel. We are bringing our own riding gear. We will hire a car most of the time but hire bikes for one or two days per island. Appreciate your response. Cheers and best wishes
Nice
From a wobbly tet to hardcore enduro.You guys are so…dertermined and laid back at the same time.I enjoy the show and by the way ,nice filming….
@@nilschristensen394 hey Nils! Yes that was definitely something else haha🤣. Thank you so much for your kind comment and ride safe! 😊🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
Emma did so well in managing a hurt rider. Never go and touch the rider immediately. She kept her distance and asked questions, asessed and then acted. Cheers to you. Sorry for you Luuk but you are a champ and You will be back on the road again. I am sure. Nice video guys.
Thank you so much man! Luuk is back on the road again indeed😁
Was the FMX 650 in a good condition ?
It was fine, nothing wrong with it. Only the chain tension was way to tight. Ride safe! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♂️
Hope your collar bone is good now! Otherwise get well soon! ✌️
Hey Chris! Thank you so much! It's a lot better and already able to offroad, so I'm happy with that😁😁. Ride safe!!🙋🏻♂️

I really hope your TH-cam Channel will be discovered by more people. Its good Content for Beginners in ADV riding!
Ahh thanks man❤️! We really appreciate that😃. Ride safe!🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
Amazing video guys. Very nice. The buildup to you guys putting helmets and boots on and shed door opening with rising music and then walk with your trolly bags across the frame was very hilarious. I watched that a few times. Especially Luuk - he killed that walk. hahaha.. Cheers mates - keep it coming. Good luck.
Hey! Thank you so much for your comment!😁❤️
Nice, I just started looking yesterday for a similar situation in Mexico
Nice! Would definitely recommend trying it 😁. Thanks for commenting and ride safe! 🙋♂️🙋♀️
