Remutaka Hill W Luke - Super windy!
zhlédnutí 60Před měsícem
On a recent SaddleSore 1600K ride, Luke and I travelled over the Remutaka Hill between Fetherston and Upper Hutt and it was SUPER windy...
AUX-TANK Concours 1400 - VOLUME TESTING at the pump.
zhlédnutí 101Před 2 měsíci
I hadn't filled the AUX Tank at all until this first visit to the local petrol station, we use the bowser's volume measurement to determine the volume of the new tank. Spoiler alert, it's 17.40L, which is 4.6 US Gallons. - Which I'm extremely happy with. It can be hard to accurately guess the impact of your baffles on the overall volume. This will be used for our Trans Canada ride this summer, ...
Complete dickhead driving.

A corner during the Iron Butt Rally 2023
Thanks great video. What i have seen some do is use WD40 only when initially spinning the rivet. Then it is spun again withe brake fluid to remove it. I guess the logic is if the rivet is seised then it will free up easier and start spinning without causing any friction damage to it, the disc web, or the rotor. Although i agree entirely with any lubricants NOT being in contact with the rotors or pads, this may be a safer method, especially if this has not been performed yet for a number of miles/years. But, as you point out, care must be taken to have no lubricant (WD40 isn't however classed as a lubricant but exhibits some lubricating behaviour under certain circumstances. Really its a penetrating fluid) left on the rotors.
You do you, but I’ll avoid anything which provides a chance for residual lubricant to spin outwards onto the disks and pads. I’ll call any substance which modifies and reduces friction a lubricant even if that’s not specifically correct.
@@ChrisWiltshire Fair enough, thanks again for the video. Lots of people are unaware of this vital maintenance trick. Out of curiosity how many miles did it take to build up that amount of debris?
@@bailey-cj2plit was after one particular ride which was a SaddleSore in the wet and across dirt roads during that ride that my bobbins became stuffed. The bike has done just over 110.000 km now. I do approx 45,000km each year.
Awsome work! Did you just clean the old filter?
Yes. This is a K&N filter which is designed to be reusable. Your average paper filter can’t be reused.
Great idea, thanks for making this video! I can confirm the same method works on the Neotec 3
Yes that's bloody perfect, am looking like the same on my 04 zzr 1200 cheers harry NZ
How much extra range does that get you?
About another 300km, overall we'll be over 600km / 400miles.
@@ChrisWiltshire nice
Because three is the right number when the other two pack a sad.
Nice video. The Takaka hill is awesome. Im curious as to why you have 3 gps screens though??
Stella’s a legend and that R1 is epic.
Awesome work, Chris, Stella and Alan.
I ´m afraid this could cause air intake restrictions, what do you think? I just bought this helmet! Thanks, Marc Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦😉🏍
Not at all
Nice update, Chris. Look forward to seeing you down there.
Nice bit of riding. Looks like a Concours14?
Yes indeed it is.
Congratulations!!!
Great video!!!
I was SEETHING at that dump truck (..and Lily for passing, that was risky)
Hi Chris, did the bug guard (mesh) work? Dave
Yes. Very well
Many thanks I’ll have a go.
That's what I've done. Works so fine.
AFTER RUNNING THE 9" OVALS ON MY ZX14R FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS I SWAPPED OVER TO 18" OVALS. DB KILLERS REMOVED OF COURSE.
I wonder if you could fit some of those little screen filters in there that go in water faucets? Your idea is great though. I have a windshield on both my bikes so bugs are not a big problem for me. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I fully agree with you : it happens so often that I even got used to it (o_0) and I can sometime rides several kilometers with a bug searching for an exit between my skull and the helmet. The NeoTec 3 is coming, I'm pretty sure they didn't address this.... (but, they kept the idea of proprietary intercom which is stupid IMO)
appreciate the vid. Feel comfy now doing it myself instead of paying the dealer 200 dollars to do it. update; after removing the foam retainers and pushing the foam away from the bracket, and removing the one bolt located below the air filter opening, I just carefully bent the bracket forward and down, out of the way. The filter still comes out and you can get the new one in. thanks for the vid. It gave me the confidence to do it after watching someone else
Smooth. Nice editing too. Mission complete!
Great footage
Living the dream Cuz 😂😂😂 Iron butt indeed 😊😊😊
And looks like Mr Gallant just arrived on his ST. I am in ore of everyone who could complete such a mammoth ride :) 🏍🏍🏍
Intense stuff! Positive throttle and everything 😂👌🏻
Nailed it!
Wot, u said! Ditto. Classic stuff, Chris.
Frightening stuff! Luckily you probably had another hour before the next one to recover. 🤣
Yes, we stopped shortly afterwards for a debrief and to gather our thoughts on how to approach the next one...
@@ChrisWiltshire Very sensible, cant be too careful.
Great clean start Chris. Looks to be a well organised way to start a big event.
4 years in, you did not say if there was a weight savings over the stock one. Looks like about 5.5Kg.
Significant yes
Nicely put together!
Dig that big black Connie!
Nice work Chris!
Every ride I have bugs in my GT Air2.
Have a great one Cuz
Careful, get any lower and you might scrape your Velcro roll of tape off. 🤪
Nice sound! You like your Delkevic exhaust? This is baffle out right? Not to loud? Carbon still looking good after few years? Thanks :)
We don't hear your exhaust on that video, you removed the Delkevic slip on?
The muffler clamp is supposed to go behind the footrest hanger bracket, it'd look a lot neater that way.
It did get moved shortly after the video was taken. You’re dead right. :)
Couldn't you roll the mesh and then wedge it straight into the opening thus preventing bug debris under the slider. Would that work? We really shouldn't have to deal with it given the cost of the thing especially as it would have cost them next to nothing to put filters on the vents.
Thank you so much! I know when it starts choking at 5K RPM's... that poor filter is nasty and needs to be replaced. :)
Is this ther full cat delete versions with headers or stock headers
Slip-on only. Not their headers.
Thanks for this Video...I found "gunk" under my Neotec II. LMAO It's gone now!
Thanks for the video. I was about to purchase one of these but no more. You just saved me a lot of money.
According to others, it appears that in a later release Shoei may have started fitting some filter. So check in with your store before you give up on this idea. Other than this the helmet has been an excellent choice for me.
@@ChrisWiltshire I called Shoei direct and they said no they put no mess in at all.
How bout an update , such a cleaning the screens out . Did the plug up fast ? Just wondering.
Sure... I've not had to do anything with this, when I checked it last it did have a surprising amount of content collected within it, but I guess I'm perhaps a little gross and I don't set aside time to regularly clean it out. It's never blocked up and the air is still flowing... The approach appears to still be working well. :)
Did you just leave the hole open when you removed the baffle? It's odd that Delkevic didn't include a nut or something to plug that small hole left after removing the baffle.
Yes. I just left it open. If you were bothered by it I guess you could get a small stainless steel machine screw to fit.
The bugs are definitely a problem for me, so much so that I've even considered getting a Schuberth C5 as it has some sort of filter to stop the bugs getting through. Your solution would definitely be the cheaper route 😀
I did what I was taught. Thank you.
Great video thanks, you'd think for the ridiculous price Shoei charge for these that there should be a mesh screen in there from the factory. what does your head measure and what size neotec fits you?
Seems legit... and executed it perfectly!
