@@tolgaakdemir1311 Thank you. I’m pleased that the videos have been helpful. I’m sorry I’m not a motorcycle mechanic so can’t really diagnose the problem. I can suggest that you could check the adjustment of the clutch cable first. If it’s not that I would speak to a mechanic. Best of luck.

Thanks. Yes they get good reviews. It's good to try different types of tyre. I will see how long these trackers last and maybe think about Motoz next.

Thank you. A buddy has them on his CRF 300. Actually I don't really get bothered by the vibes. Maybe I've grown used to them.

Yes a 50/50 is normally a good choice for most situations. I'm using these for local riding, a high percentage of off-road. The spokes are fine.

Thanks. Yes, you are right. The first ride was rather uncertain. Also found on the trails they were not digging in. Now I have lowered the pressures to 1 bar front & 1.1 rear it has made a big difference. It can take time to get used to different types of tyre.

@@CosmicSeeker69 I understand your point of view. I am just glad I fitted the steel guard. The original had started to crack and this one has taken several knocks from flying rocks. The most important thing is to enjoy riding, whatever option we choose. Ride safe ✌️

I didn't know about them until now. Thanks for the suggestion. I have just watched a review and they look good all rounders. Too late for me at this time, a I have just ordered a pair of Michelin Trackers.

Thanks for your support. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Up until now the bike has been serviced by the dealer, and I don't know what oil they used.

@@livelongrideonover70 Voge recomends semisynthetic 15w50. I believe ut is a good choice but i think due to the oil volume being only 1.3 litres it is better to change it every 2.500klm. Also every 500klm add 50ml of oil. So...live long and ride on mate.......

@@sotiristsallis I can see that changing the oil more often will give peace of mind and it can only help the engine. Enjoy your bike ✌️

@@Yannis1980 thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry that you have had this problem and wasted your time and money. Original I said I would not post a link and said that there are so many on AliXpress that it would be better to search and find the best deal. Then someone asked for a link, so I posted one. I don’t want to promote a product that is poor quality. I have now removed the link. I hope you get a plate that is better for you. I know I am glad I fitted one. It has been hit by flying stones several times. Best wishes.

@@livelongrideonover70 not your fault, by no means. My dealer and garage owner asked me if there were any spacers or other parts inside the package, but there were none, just six bolts, a couple of nuts, four washers (2 metal, 2 plastic) and a sort of locktite tube. He tried to tighten himself the bolts at the second scheduled service but that was not the case. He told me he'll give it one more try next time I visit him. Not gonna order any new from Ali either. Another, probably minor, issue was that the front holes where not aligned tο fit into the frame ones and I had to rasp them both (obviously the skid ones) a mm or two. Removed it a couple of hours earlier and put back the stock parts. Couldn't stand the vibration rattling.😎👍

Single cylinder 4 stroke dirt bikes all make the braap noise, this one included. I don't think it is 'louder' than the Honda CRF 300.

Thank you.

Thanks for making me laugh.🤣 There is no Portuguese music on CZcams Studio, and a very limited choice for Spanish guitar. 🤣

Absolutely. Who would want to live here? 😂

It's motorcycle paradise.

But I rode all the way through France and I didn't see you. 🤣

Hi. Thank you. It's the way to go!

I know. So much traffic is a nightmare 🤣

Well done you! I had planned to do it in 7 days, and that seems about right. It's a great track, although there are some sections that are more demanding than expected. That slope being one in particular.

Yes that's true about the camera. That was a situation I would have preferred not to have experienced. However, I'm glad I got out of it when I did.

Thanks Dave. I agree about the timing. I was taking it over 7 days. Now I know you had a similar experience I don’t feel such a whimp 😂 It’s certainly not a walk in the park.

Thank you. I took a chance on this relatively unknown bike but so far I have been mightily impressed. I downsized from a Tiger 900. No regrets.

They aren’t glasses. They’re my eyes 👽😂

Thanks. Yes we can’t always let the ego win. It can get us into a lot of trouble 😲

Well you know what they say about plans Andrew. Thanks for your support. All is well.

Hi there. Thanks for your support.

Thanks very much. Your comment has made me feel pretty good about what I have achieved. The ACT don’t manage the tracks. They make the route and maybe check on them very occasionally. As far as I know anyway. It’s a beautiful area for you to live. Enjoy.

I may have found my vocation at last Stuart 😂

Day 4. In progress. 🥵

Thanks Steven. It’s certainly an experience. Day 2 & 3 videos are now live.

That was Stuart flying his drone. You can tell he’s a pilot 👨‍✈️ Video 4 makes day 2 pale into insignificance 🥵

I know it’s not practical in several situations Stuart. I’m just glad I had it on that day.

Hi John. Thanks. I don’t have a link convenient as I am on the road right now. It’s for a Triumph Tiger 900. I got it from AliExpress. I had to use spacers and longer bolts from the spares box to get it to fit. It handles the TomTom with locking mounting ok.

That’s good to know. Ride safe.

It certainly was amigo. Thanks for sharing the ride.

Take a look at this czcams.com/video/SrbjkZgVueo/video.htmlsi=3gzPmKdP413fCW2I

Hi John. Thanks for watching. This video may be helpful. The list of tools is at the end. You also need to add a spanner to adjust the chain. I don't remember the size at this moment. Also I don't take the gear lever now, as the aluminium one has been fine for a few thousand kms.

@@livelongrideonover70 thank you very much for your help! I did actually watch the video but my daughter started to talk with me and I missed the end, I shall re-watch it and make a list. Thank you again for all your videos, you are an inspiration for us all. John

@@JohnJez Hi John. Thanks for your support.

You are welcome.

Thank you.

Vielen Dank. Ich hoffe, Ihre Genesung verläuft gut und Sie können Ihren Esel bald wieder genießen.

Thank you. Have fun over there!

Hi Dudley. Maybe tis video will help. there should be link with it. I have had to re-tighten mine a couple of times , then realised I hadn't used thread lock.czcams.com/video/mODBuxUuXAA/video.htmlsi=Y9rjBDMs6DEYDoRP

Thanks for your stories. Yes, I have to laugh when I am all togged up and feeling awesome, and a guy goes by on a battered old 50cc wearing a t-shirt and loaded up with shopping bags 🤣 I actually think the Voge 300 rally would be a good choice for you to gain confidence.

Welcome. I don's have info on this areas. I did look at Voge dealers but couldn't find any. There is a parts dealer in France who could ship. Good luck on your quest. Bryan.

Yes each tyre has different characteristics. Some better off-road. some noisier on road, etc. But for trail riding they all work. As you say, is there such a thing as the one and only that is the best in all situations?

Thanks. yes, I also liked the Timsuns. Like you say, pressures make a difference. I'm still playing about with mine to find the optimum setup. Then there is the added dimension of 'do I change the pressure with luggage or not'? However, no matter what pressure or tyre, the bike has so far got me where I want to go.
