- Everyone talks about motorcycle protection during an adventure trip, but I don't think that many of you really understand this correctly. In fact, safety is just an illusion that might grab a lot of money and gives nothing in reverse. In this video, I will give you 5 tips that will show you a different perspective and will help much more than all protective hardware that you can find on the market today.

Number 3. Absolutely! Ride your bike as much as possible!
Going to work on my bike every day for a week regardless of the weather is something I do frequently.
Actually the hardest part of this challenge for me is getting up at 4am rather than 4:20am if I go in my van! It takes time to get my bike out and riding kit on.
It’s a short distance (50km for me) but the regularity of riding my bike improves my understanding of the way it behaves.
Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely right .
Amongst your best tips ever. Thank you Pavlin.
My pleasure!
"Simplicity is the key" You're so right... as usual !!! KISS i.e. "Keep It Simple, Stupid!" is NASA's watchword & it's your's also 🤓🤓🤓
It is what it is
All good points Pavlin. Take care, be safe. Twist the grip.
Thanks for watching again, Sam!
One of the best videos from one the best experts.
I liked your advices very well especially the 3rd one of working on to improve the skills. To spend more hours on some trails near to home instead of spending time in cafes with friends with polished bikes.- Nice one 😅
Glad it was helpful, Bhushan!
Couldn't agree more.
Simple is best.
No.1 rule, I think.
Closely followed by the 7 P's. Perfect preparation and planning prevents p*ss poor performance.
Safe, happy travels 👍
Well said!
I always learn something from your clips... thanks ... : )
Glad to hear it!
I love your tips, always very grounded and realistic. Always think in practicality and not to spend thousands in useless accessories only for the look of it. Thanks
Absolutely!
Good info, it's all common sense really,
most people don't go anywhere anyway, they just sit around looking at their bikes drinking coffee and telling lies🤣
True!
Skill over protection 👌 💯
Always!
Excellent advice…!!
Glad it was helpful!
Moto trip videos OK but we need more tips and tactic videos like this. I'm a regular person and try to spend my weekends on bike with my tent. Sorry for English. Greetings from Turkey.
More to come!
You are strong, you lift your bike like it's a 110 kg dirtbike, most people cannot do that. Great vid that makes sense, why protect something that in a fall makes no contact to the ground. Useful information that anyone can use. Thanks for another good and useful vid.
I appreciate that!
first! keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
As always, excellent thoughts to ponder over a good cup of coffee! Snow again this morning but hopefully Spring will start to show itself later this week. Cheers Pavlin!
Thanks, Allen!
Less (hardware) is more. More training/experience is better. Good that you remind us of the important things of travelling, Pavlin. While many test channels just tell us: buy! Thanks from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
Absolutely!
Valuable information. Good luck with your work 👍🏼 and thanks a lot
Thanks, man!
Informative as always
I appreciate that!
He’s right, practice. I suck on dirt and unimproved roads. I have never had a lesson. But I force my self to go out and ride unimproved roads as often as I can. After two years, I still suck at it, but not as bad as I used to.
Thanks for sharing!
Your advice is always important. Thank you so much
My pleasure!
Your videos have always been useful and interesting, mate 👍 👏
Thanks, Richard!
I really appreciate your videos!
Glad you like them!
Hi Pavlin.... Bad decisions make good stories :-)
Tell me about it!
Thank you Pavlin once more! It really broke my heart when i saw the bike down 😊. Happy Easter!
Thanks for taking the time, Tom!
Great advice as always Pavlin 👍
Thanks, man!
Your advice is always good.
I appreciate that!
Thank you Pavlin!
Any time!
As always, good advice!
Glad it was helpful!
Very good info. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great idea to lay the bike down gently and then take note of what actually hit's the ground!
I have a 2020 Honda CB500X which has had a few soft "landings". The thing that has really helped to protected the left side the bike is the "Bark Buster" handle bar protectors. They look like there just made out of aluminum but it must be something else. Light weight and incredibly strong at the same time.
After one "fall" I needed to take out a slight bend on one of them. I ended up having to use a big engineers work bench vice and a 50cm length of iron pipe to bend it back into shape!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you.Very usefull tips.
Any time!
everything makes sense! 👍🏻
Good!
Great video. Im really close to accomplish all the tips in my mototrips. Thanks
Glad to help!
Great advice on investing in skills! It amazes me how much we spend on our bikes and accessories but still so many people won’t spend a few extra bucks on training.
Absolutely!
My most memorable cosmetic recall was the original plastic fuel tank on original Oilhead. It discolored from sun or alcohol, so BMW replaced it with a steel tank. Eventually, the Hexhead got a black plastic tank with an alu sheath.
Using tires that have been recalled could potentially be disasterous. But keep in mind, a recall could be for something as simple as a mis-print on the sidewall. You should find your specific tire brand, model and/or size of your tire to be sure it is safe to use.
Thanks for sharing!
All true!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Pavlin, love your top tips. Have you done a top tip on the lubricants you take on a tour? I’m wondering what I “must” take. Engine oil, chain lube, chain cleaner, WD40 etc.. cheers Mike
Not yet, but I might do it.
This is the way 🤘🏼😎👍
Good!
hello Pavlin, i agree with you on many of your toughts and opinions, let me just add one thing, everyone should practice as much as possible but lets not forget that practice does not make perfect results, just permanent, one should be aware of what they are practicing, its not a waste of money to get lessons especialy in the off road part but also on road... I see many riders that have been ring for long time and dont have any skill... Be the guy with 30 years experience, not the guy with one year experience 30 times... dont forget, practice makes permanent, not perfect...
About the weight of the motorcycles i agree with you but it deppends on the use you give it and your skill level as well... i give you an example... my xt660r weights 195kg full of fuel (yes, the brands lie to you, not 181 as they say but 195) for a long trip with passenger, even with some gravel along the way i will be much better on my 990 adventure ( that should weiht roughly the same as the t7, and its not 200 kg as you say it much more) or even on 1250gs...
love the videos keep them coming
Fair enough!
Pavlin, one suggestion. When you put text over screen, you lost your contrast adjustment in video edit softvare. Copy and paste it on the text overlay too.
Ok
you should take a closer look at the front wheel axle: the small fender is screwed to the forkfist. This forkfist is only made of aluminum and the screw protrudes far. If you fall on the fender, or even if you hit something lightly with it, the screw will break out. somewhere in the middle of nowhere a new fork fist is hard to come by
I am aware of this, but thanks!
Nice Lift , learned it after getting stuck in a super fine Cotton Field (Aruba Elite Police style) Peace3ed
The weight always matters!
Sorry I couldn't get to your video soon !!!😂😂😂😂 I was watching Itchy boots riding on the desert sand !!!!😀😀😀😀🏍🏍🏍🍺🍺🍺
No worries! It will be here anyway!
Noraly is super too! Revit must be greatful to Pavlin and Noraly as well ! They wouldn't find better anbassadors! Real joyful people that share so much information with us
And now everyone knows how to ride in sand..... Great video Pavlin
I'm sorry to disagree Mr Pavel, a thief threw my T7 to the ground when I confronted him.
I had front axle bobbins fitted, these took the brunt leaving the front mudguard mounts (below the brake caliper mount) intact
I really enjoy your channel, please keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing!
Simple truth…great. I‘m going straight alcoholism, when I’m drinking every time my favourite drink at the start of your videos 😂
Change your favorite drink then!
taking unnecessary risks hits home, last time i went on a solo 70km trip offroad in the desert, i tried to take a shortcut and got stuck in sand dunes and wasted 1 hour, plus i was outside network coverage and woudn't be able to ask for help ...
I know what you mean!
Another good tip is to look at things on your bike. Sounds perhaps silly, but if you know how things look and are put together when it's fine and working, then you know how it should look when you have to fix things.
Was that cable routed this or that way? And so on... Thank you!
Thanks for adding!
👍👍👏
Thanks for watching!
Hello friend. Please make video about motorcycle diagnostic tools. Thanks.
I don't use them and cannot say much, sorry!
Hi, I have a question if you dont mind... I am thinking about getting a Transalp 750 and moving from my F850GSA with its 23L gas tank to the Transalp 19L tank. I am also planning a 6 month ride to South America. How do you ride a T7 with such a small tank? Do you always carry extra fuel with you in a container?
Hi Pavlin. First i want you to tell is, that I really love to watch your content! Second is a question. I'm riding a xt660z 2009 and to day I changed my oil and before that I wanted to run it warm for better rinse the old oil out and during that I saw, that the exhaust pipes, specially that upper one, got really hot, that the part by the engine go red. That really scared me. I don't think it's normal. Can you please tell me if this should behave so??? Greetings from Slovakia!
Do you mean the one that is closer to the engine?
@@motorcycleadventures I mean the one, that is coming out, from the piston part; direct in the middle part (position from the ground; is it the higher one)
It shouldn't become red so fast. Do you have a catalytic converter? It is probably clogged.
@@motorcycleadventures I don't have the bike so long, so I'm not sure if I have one. I will look today if it's so. But that's a good start to watch. I really appreciate your help! Pavlin thank you very very much for the quick responses! Wish you a great day & the best to your channel!
@@georgt.7008 Sounds like it is running to lean, ie air to fuel ratio to high. I bought a dirt bike that did the same thing, It had an emissions kit on it to meet some standards somewhere, and used to also pop on deceleration. I removed it, (not a simple exercise) and it ran cooler and better. If I'm not mistaken yours will have a carb so a previous owner may have re jetted it or something and caused it to run lean, I'm no mechanic but that's where I'd look.
what model are those crash bars ?

Good!
Hard to disagree.
Good!
Press like or dislike 😂
Yes, whatever the video deserves!
In EVERY weather condition ❓❓❓❓‼‼😱😱😱😱😱😱 Fuck - I NEVER even ride in a RAIN ‼‼☝☝🤣🤣
Maybe you should start.

I, actually, am pretty much, fed up with that 😀
I love your tips, always very grounded and realistic. Always think in practicality and not to spend thousands in useless accessories only for the look of it. Thanks
You are so welcome!
