“The alarm is her bark. The immobilizer is her bite.” 😂😂 perfectly delivered.
This is another great video it’s so interesting and helps out a lot for people who obviously own sur Ron’s. My sur Ron finally arrived and I couldn’t be happier with it I love it to bits such a quick toy I absolutely lobe this video thank you very much for uploading this I love to go off road and explore through the woods and wild life happy Sunday mate!
Cheers mate I nearly didn't publish this I thought maybe not good viewing but comments like this make it worth it. I hope it might help a little. Glad you got it finally and happy with it. I can hardly stay off mine! Cheers bud and happy surroning for you 👍
10/10 just ordered my Sur Ron X! goinh to keep your ideas in mind, thank you!
Thank you hope they help, cheers for positive feedback
@Tepi Booth i got mine from a local shop about 16months ago now. Nuneaton a place called all 4 off road mate
The shoe lace bit, I did as watching. Thanx mate, now if I can get funds released it will be Sur-Ron time. Cheers for the excellent content.
Thank you for kind words. Helps me make more content when people give good feedback. Hope funds get released for you so you can enjoy the Ron in real life as much as I do and have !
Love the tips. So this is "MO-A" Machines, UK?" Great tips. Especially like the table top protector!
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed, I try to be creative lol and find alternative ways or find a solution to an issue.
Great video sir. I love your channel
Thank you i appreciate good comments. Cheers
Great job buddy :) 😀
10:22 my guys farts and forgets to cut it out lol
Spare foot pegs is always handy to have in your bag, broke 2 of them off ripping around and only take couple mins to change.
Good idea ive never had that problem yet but I do have a spare set if I get stuck. Cheers for input will use this idea at some point. Noted thank you as I wanted to hear other ideas from owners 😊
One thing I learned from another SurRon rider is to turn the ignition on with the key after you’ve removed the battery. It discharges the capacitor. Not sure if it matters but now I obsessively do it every time lol!
A better option to wd40 is silicon spray. Wd40 can melt some plastics. Cheers mate!
Interesting i shall keep that in mind and add that to my list. I do use silicone spray but said wd as most people have some of that to hand. I know not good for chains didn't know it could melt some plastics. Cheers for some input 👌 I will remember that for future
Maxima SC-1 brother!!
Now that there's a modding aftermarket for the Surron, have you considered tune ups or just keeping it stock ?
Will be keeping it stock I recon but would like to try it with more power, just price is stumbling block. I really like and enjoy stock but maybe upgrade 1 day
Thanks for useful vids - your commentary's cack me up too :)
Ive only had mine since Dec so alot of wet riding and falls in puddles so keeping water out of the electrics st front of motor has been problematic, its ended a few early rides. Proper clean up and dry out with air line has resolved but wondered if you've found a good way to stopwater getting in.
My last attempt of wrapping in a jiffy bag/ tie wraps each end seems to have been successful so far but been conciously avoiding deep puddles which masks if it doing the job. Any better ideas from you or anyone appreciated ? Submerged it the other day after ice broke under me but it survived !
Hey mate cheers for watching and glad you enjoy some of the content.
I've been in some wet areas and no problems so far. I got my electrics covered with inner tube and cable ties plus some of that electrical contact protector spray stuff. I hear they slacked a little on newer models so just needs going over plus yoy got the electric throttle so 1 extra point of concern.
Hope this may offer ideas to help seal it bud
@@motomachinezuk8786 Cheers - your system must work given you went up that shallow stream last summer no bother ! I'm sure a decent automotive electrician probably has a few tricks... roll on the summer. I enjoyed your vid at the enduro event at Devils pit so might check that out as Im Letchworth area so not that far from me. It'd be great to get a load of Sur's together for a blat there or MX practice track!
@@45tm9 that stream was fine for bike yes, never had issues with it.
Devil's pit was great fun and decent seeing how well Ron coped.
I need a car I can transport it in as don't wanna miss the surron action lol.
👍👍👍
Hi Jonnie, I’m looking for a CRF110 front fender for my Sur Ron from watching this video, will any brand work or will it need to be specific?
As far as I'm aware mate any will fit just might have to drill new holes if they don't line up. The 2 I've tested fitted perfect on bracket just needed 2 holes drilled.
Cheaper than the stock surrons mate
Hope this helps
Hey dunno if u will see at old video but how did you take yellow/green vinyl off ?
Just peeled it off then cleaned with wd40 if any sticky stuff was left
Zip tie stash is number ONE lol 😆 i always keep a few.
Gotta be done mate, come in handy a few times lol
What in the ever loving Mcguiver is this?
Please can you tell me where I can get
Semi slick tyres for road ? Thanks buddy
Try stag motorcyles on line. You want road tyres on 19inch rims ?
MOTO MACHINEZ UK yes buddy 👍
What is the legality on the sur ron in the uk. I’m thinking of getting one but can’t find anywhere saying if you will get stopped on it.
250w pedal assistant is legal limit for the UK. Could get stopped with these
product named LPS #1 on e connection will stop any corrosion
I shall check it out, never heard of it but will probably add it to my jobs on bike when its apart getting some tlc sounds good, thanks
Got mine today came with damn air shocks
Why’s that a bad thing
Here's an idea, take your kickstand off. Offroad, they're just a PITA.
Canu make ur pit bike a super moto
What do you use to lock it up in public?
I as a rule don't leave in public or very rarely anyway. But don't have many options apart from chains and locks etc.. depending what you can reasonably carry plus a tracker helps
Where can you buy this bike in the UK
Online stag motorcycles is the best and very helpful does have a shop also but mostly Internet.
How do you open a can of Beer with no finger nails?
I actually prefer it in a nice cool bottle. Cans taste funny to me but if i do then i improvise
Press down on the opening with one finger where the other end of the tab is. That'll lift the back end enough for you to grab onto with your other finger
We just jab it with a flat screw driver, one hole on opposite edge
1st hack: doesn't the hard plastic of the cable-tie scrap on the swing arm instead of the rubber (or metal) now? I'd probably eliminate that lowest cable-tie if'n I were you. 3rd hack: People from the UK are SO formal We don't even wear shoes at all here in California. Plus, you UK people all sound strangely British. Hack #10: I've thought about the theft issue, but figured at 50Kg, somebody that wants the bike will just pick it up & throw it in the car's back seat or boot (what we call the trunk). I reckon one would need a padlock & a length of stout chain or cable to attach it to something immobile. THANKS! These are some handy tips, but for #12 why *haven't* you sprayed your controller with WD-40?
For the cable tie I moved the zip bit so it was facing forwards not catching anything, yes still a chance it could scratch but elimates alot of risk compared to stock.
Oh, no shoes as hot climate I get you, majority of people aren't that lucky, wish if was that nice here.
Padlock I didn't explain well enough I know people get me wrong here thinking it's a security device, it's more of a better than nothing scenario for emergency just to stop it being taken without a tiny struggle atleast. I used the example of shop when I really mean doing the business in a Bush in the sticks and bike parked up. Chain if can carry while riding is best solution after a tracker. But still a handy tip in ways.
Wd 40 answer is I'm weary of electrics getting moist was unsure if a good idea but a few others have mentioned it. Personally I use a silicone spray all over to give it a moisturise and that works good at repelling water and stopping mud from sticking so much.
Thanks for feedback I hope I've answered ok.
@@motomachinezuk8786 Your ideas are quite good, thoughtful, & clever. You show analytical & creative skills. I can relate because I've made a career out of combining those two personal attributes, so I like your approach.WD-40 is MEANT to be sprayed on electronics to keep the water out. That's what WD stands for: Water Displacement. It was initially engineered as a solution to spray on car wiring that had gotten wet. All the other stuff, lubrication & whatnot, are afterthoughts. Silicone, while completely different, shouldn't harm electrics either, although it's not specifically for electronics, more lubrication, which WD-40 wasn't designed to do. It can do it, kinda, but I have a whole collection of different lubricants, maybe 15 or 20, for different tasks. WD-40 is in the cabinet, but I try not to use it as a lubricant. Oh, & I was joking about the no-shoe thing. We wear shoes here. Not all the time, like not to bed or in the shower, or when playing in the surf of our stunning beaches (we are kinda lucky there. I've been to beaches all over, & while ours aren't the best in the world, they're still *really* good. Much better than Hawaii by 20X.), but we do generally wear them while out & about, ALTHOUGH there is a distinctly casual dress code here. It can sometimes be a little fascist because people will look at you funny & say things if you're "overdressed." I think it's dumb. If I want to wear a suit & tie it's my prerogative, but people talk behind my back when I do. I have a customer, a world renown online computer game maker (where you have an avatar in a virtual world & thousands, maybe millions, play together at the same time.) and the people at that company drive BMWs & Ferraris and wear flip-flop sandals, shorts, & t-shirts to work, & if you wear anything fancier than Khaki's & a polo shirt they'll tell you to either dress down or not show up for the next meeting. So, gentle California dress-code fascists. It's almost endearing. Cheers & keep the rubber side down!
@@motomachinezuk8786 I ran across some tape in my garage called Rubber Mastic Tape. Not having any idea what it was for, I searched online, and BAM! It looks like one of its uses is protecting bicycle frames from chain "slap." I immediately thought of you and your creative use of a spare inner-tube (as if anyone has those lying about) to prevent frame dings from the Sur-Ron kick-stand The tape is maybe 1mm (?more?) thick, so it's not like electrical tape or duct tape, it's more substantial. Take a look: th-cam.com/video/saW9VoyDMh8/w-d-xo.html
Cheers for that I know the stuff for mtb chain guide area. Could be a good call.
Will investigate on ebay.
Always trying to find better solution or more tips.
Thank you
I don't much care about scratches on my kickstand, it's a dirt bike!
No it scratches the swing arm then can potentially rust when can easily be prevented.
@@motomachinezuk8786 It's aluminum is it not?
Instead of tried and true WD40, substitute PLEDGE.
Does that work ? Might try it's cheaper than wd
@@motomachinezuk8786 you’ve got nothing to lose then ….
I’ve been using it on all my toys since the 80’s my friend
Title should have been: How To Make Your Surron Look Like Garbage
What a wolly
Why ?
You will always get the haters unfortunately, I've not even got a sur ron electric bike but enjoy watching your videos. I hope to buy one!
Do you get members of public saying anything about riding on it? It's kind of one of the things that I keep wondering before buying.
@@robavery573 haha always get 1 hatter just wish they would say why.
No so far so good no members of public hurling abuse at me. They all seem friendly and want to know more. Had a couple of funny looks as far as its gone. If I see people I slow down so they think mtb I suppose. Depends on area I would say
The shoe lase thing that's what and Rob Avery if got a 2021 model surron in my kitchen u fool don't need to hate me pal u sat at home with your baracuda BMX
@@joanholmes3578 cool story “wolly”
Looks like some grandma advices)) sorry))
