Thank you William! Pumped to finally get to ride with you, even if the weather didn’t cooperate. Glad you were able to document our invaluable assistance on Joe’s tire repair.
She is very beautiful, good on you for telling her.
After doing my own fubar'd chain replacement, it was good to see how a professional does it. Carry on !
So good to see you posting again! I enjoy all your videos. Safe travels!
Great, now I have to do the BDR on my AT. Thanks a LOT, Will!
Nice to see your back.
Bonjour William,
J'aime beaucoup tes vidéos, la façon dont tu les présentes et ta bonne humeur.
Continue comme ça.
Moi, j'apprends des choses dans mon canapé, je vois du paysage sans trop transpirer pour le moment 😉

I love that T-handle wrench you're using. I have one in my tool kit. Very handy.
Great vid - hilarious "epic" music at 11:20 on announcement of the Africa Twins
Lay the old chain beside the new one to find the length. No math involved! Thanks for posting.
Just a heads up. If you change the oil with the bike on the centre stand, you won't get the last 200 - 250 mls of oil out. I also do it on the centre stand, but with the bike on the ground. Once it appears that all the oil is out, get to the left of the bike, get a good hold and pull the bike to you and tilt about what it would be, if it were propted on the side stand. You'll be surprised how much more oil comes out. It's this reason that many owners find that the oil level is too high after they do their own oil change. I've so far clocked up 137,000 mostly faultless kilometres. Hope to reunite with the bike this April and continue our RTW trip then. Bikes in Bulgaria, I'm in Australia.
Wow! That snow looked so sketch
You have a motorcycle lift and a bunch of other tools, gadgets, etc but no filter wrench??? I guess no one has everything. Ride On!
Same as me, and l ALWAYS forget to buy one when lm in the hardware shop.
dw373 I didn’t want to get it oily. 😎
There's also something really satisfying about using a hammer during motor vehicle maintenance!
Honda sells a kit with a filter and a capwrench. Also, "a pint's a pound". 8^)
@@WilliamGloege Makes perfect sense to me. If you're ever around Oklahoma give me a shout and we'll take the twins out for a ride. March in out though, I'll be riding in Baja Mexico :-)
William screw driver is great in a pinch but tell me you have a filter wrench in the shop lol Great video man thanks, enjoy your content 👍👍
Living it up brother! Safe travels to you and the crew!!
Looks like a blast.
Ridding Adv. Bikes in the snow... "Dancing with the Big Lady" (avoid excessive lateral momentum)
See, you should have have tubeless bro!
Scottoiler are the way to go bro. BTW stayed Needles 44 years ago from UK touring in a Yellow Capri 4 lads one my brother
Was a very good job done but was wondering why You didn't replace the rear sprocket? Thanks.
Anyone with a AT noticed the 40mm recommended slack in the chain is too tight?
I adjusted my chain to 40mm and out of curiosity I removed the bottom swing arm to rocker bolt
and swept the swing arm up and down.
The chain went tight before it was at max arc ie c/shaft - s/arm pivot - axle all in line.
I’ve heard some AT owners destroying the c/shafts/splines because of this plus high wear
obviously on chain and sprockets.
William I noticed a couple of videos back you adjusted your chain and how tight it got when you leaned your bike over.
40mm should be measured when bike is on ground, not on the stand
@@MrBercis Yes thats how i measure it.
there is a proper noise, too, if a chain is set up right. there's a noise they make if too loose, a proper noise, and tight is just obviously too tight based on not enough slack and yes will destroy shaft bearings and every piece b/t there and the chain... not good in the outback
10:30 to 15 is good views of west
, snow etc
I love
Hi. Sorry to tell , its way better if you loose the front sprocket first than you remove the chain . Just a suggestion.
Cheers.
Long time for upload video😁
Não entendi pq ele comprou um pinhão novo e manteve a corrente e a coroa velhas.
Bolt cutters... since one is throwing the old chain away.
Searching for 6th Gear bolt cutters dint make noise or sparks 😎
Billy, gear description for tyres leads to Mitas but I done gone seen some AX41 Bridgies all up there man! Glad to see you getting out and about. Cheers fella!
Another great video! Where did you buy your motorcycle lift in your shop?
Appears to be a Harbor Freight one. I've got the same and it works like a champ. For only $300 it's hard to beat! Just wait for their 20% off coupon.
What is that crater, ancient mining?
I've only recently found your channel. I'm loving the videos, will be picking up an Africa Twin before spring kicks off.
Is your bike the same one you rode around the world? I'm looking for it, bit have you done a video that highlights any issues you had with it on your trip? Things you changed for comfort for long rides, etc?
If im at home when i change a chain i use bolt cutters
@@mikemerrill175 i do to sometimes
We travel with bunch of various bikes, street tyres mainly. Dudes always complain I am the last one with my AT. Then I suggest leave the street, do some shortcuts. No answer. Just stupid hy hy...
Very cool!..
I have a Q. And would greatly appreciate your thoughts.
I have a chance to get 2017 Honda Africa twin DCT in excellent! condition and with many extras 29,000 miles on it for $8,000. DCT
It's either the Honda Africa twin with 29,000 miles or a brand new 2022 KLR650?
Yes I know they are very different bikes as far as power and comfort and quality, I just can't decide.
Is that a good deal for the Africa twin?
Aloha
Hey mate! What tank bag are you using?
👍👍👍
woohoo!
Buy a filter wrench it will be a lot easier!
Well bonjour Billy G ! Can I just ask a quick question about your MSR stove. I’m thinking of getting one. What fuel did you use when you were up in Norway well away from white fuel ? Thinking of doing the same or maybe going for a rear end crash up in Scootland. Thanks 😀
How mad are you on a scale from 1 to W.G.? :)
