Just did the first 1000 km here in Poland. Yep great bike but......
It has short gearing, 125 indicated (120 gps) you are at 7000 rpm with 8500 red line. I have already installed 15T front sprocket, that drops the rpm about 500.
The fueling off idle is not great (thx euro whatever it is). Throttle cable adjustment helps, but a good tune is the real solution.
At 178cm and 75 kgs, bike fits me like a glove. The front suspension is firm, all the way out on preload and still playing with the dampening. Rear I added just a few turns on the preload. I do like the suspension, it's does a very nice job.
The exhaust is actually on the loud side, ok I guess I am old.
Skid plate is paper thin.
I changed oil at 300 km. When removing the skid plate, the lower frame rails(they really are like lower skid plate support tubes, not very substantial) spread by a few cm. I had to use a tie down strap to bring them in prior to reinstalling the skid plate.
I got unlucky, my cluth lever came without the pivot bushing pressed in........got replacement under warranty.
Love all the adjustments, gear shift lever, both hand levers, suspension........
Mix riding computer shows 3.7/100, refueling math shows 4.0/100.
Hope this helps someone.
thank you for your updates and your nice videos! Today i've ordered mine 450MT and i will receive it till the end of July due to high demand :)
Well that's really something to look forward to!
@@outie555 indeed! We will cross the Greek Adventure roads o/
brother ive been following your videos from the day you got 450 mt love the content
Thank you and welcome to the outie555 channel
Great video. Tks. It seams sprung rather hard.
If that's all the issues u had at 900km I'm impressed. Well done
Thanks 👍the suspension is adjustable and I'll probably soften it up a couple of clicks but it's still ok in the standard settings
Great to see how much you're enjoying the bike, and the transition to ADV riding mate!
Bit of a worry about those seat rubbers coming off already... that's always my main concern with a bike new to the market... what's the build quality? Only time will tell, I guess. Sadly, in this moronic "continual profit growth" world the only way to maintain that growth is to reduce quality, service etc.
Hmmm... the people of Toowoomba seem to need a lesson on how to deal with their rubbish and not be rubbish people :(
Great stuff mate!
You are full of enthusiasm, nice to see it. Good video
Thanks!
UNICORSE!!!!!!!
Thanks for the videos mate, really helping to me to make a decision.
No problem 👍
Great videos on this bike bro
Appreciate it!
Another great video, I am really interested in adding this bike to my collection. Looking forward to seeing what your thoughts are about the taller seat.
Hope you enjoy it! Just got the tall seat and it's amazing. More legroom and the padding feels very comfortable for my boney bum.
You are a funny dude! I’d say you’d be a great riding companion on weekend trips & you come home with pizza on the back in a bag to feed the family 😉
The 450MT is a great bike for the price. Sounds great & is perfect for a weekend or week long trip.
Looking forward to your review when you get the tall seat. Will you change the front sprocket to 15T? Seems to be the go from most on the FB group page🤔
That's the plan, as it's a nice bike to just get away on and I'm sure I'll do some motocamping one day. Got a shed full of camping gear that hasn't been used in a while!
Great stuff....happy to see someone enjoying their new ride and developing a love for 'adventure' on two wheels; i have subbed to follow what you and the new MT get up to and i have finally made decision on my next bike...the 450 MT; just a quick question: did you have to buy the high seat or you just had to order it? i was under the impression the seat was an 'either or' arrangement with the dealer. Cheers
Thanks for the sub! I ordered the seat as an additional extra accessory. Now I have two seats. It comes with the low seat, and I've since picked up the tall seat as the accessories have been trickling in.
@@outie555 thanks; i called the dealer not long after asking this; i have now officially become a 450MT owner! well, after sitting on the demo and having a ride Saturday morning that is; two weeks and it will be in the shed if i'm happy; yep, the high seat is an added cost; $200 but that's ok; the dealer said he has a high seat in stock as well as a good stock of the factory accessories that he ordered when he ordered the bikes; i think i will get the tall screen as well; good news is i will also have spare seat foam if i want to modify the seat sometime down the track; oh, and i will make sure to glue the seat base rubbers properly! Cheers
Am binge watching your channel lol
Haha nice man!
I looked at the first minute and said to myself thats around home. Good to see you taking up adventure riding. Did you get it from Bike & Bits.
Yes I did!
If they are still solid in a year I'll be sold.
Well I'll keep you posted!
I've tried the taller seat. It good. Nice and comfy
Same, just got it and it's great!
@@outie555 how much is it in OZ ? My dealer over here has never even heard of it - I might have to pick on up on my next trip back home to OZ.
💯💪
🥳
I have ridden the new Himalayan and booked MT 450.. very different bikes… getting it in 3rd week of June😁
Enjoy it
I am so curious as to what you will think of the Himalayan 450 in comparison to this one. I guess you will test drive soon.Good job you do here.,
Need to test ride one still but I'm looking forward to it one day
As a matter of interest, what is the heght of your screen and do you find the taller screen halps as It's been on my mind to get the taller screen too
45cm yes helps a lot. Ive got a video on it, tall windshield review.
Merci pour le partage, j'attends avec impatience que cette moto soit disponible en France, car j'aimerais la tester et comparer mes impressions avec l'hymalayan 450, ceci en vue d'un futur achat. Grand ✌️de la Haute Savoie en France
It's an exciting time for mud weight adv
I'm about to get my 450MT in tbar as well, got any good adventure rides you can suggest to a fellow new adv rider?
I would suggest getting used to the bike and starting off with just dirt roads at first. This will help you work on how the bike feels at speed. Hampton info centre has maps I hear so that might be a good start. There are heaps of gravel roads west off Toowoomba. The one in the end of that video is at 100 Leesons Rd, Charlton QLD 4350
And I strongly suggest glueing in those rubber pads under the seat!
That crease in the seat would irritate me every time I walked up to the bike.
If that happened in the first 500 miles, it’ll be interesting to see what’s dropped off after 5000 miles.
It's only because of the missing rubbers. If you glue them in you won't have this problem. If too late I have a 3d printed solution
Hey bro, what cf moto forum you are talking from? I search for some input. ❤
450mt Australia
Can you Mark the part in your Video?
In your opinion what's the behavior of the moto in city traffic?
Slow speed needs a little getting used to, suggest the throttle slack needs to be tightened from factory. Makes a vast improvement but still a bit on/off at below 20km in 1st and 2nd. The engine runs cool so you won't cook in traffic jams. It's not too bad on fuel considering the bike is not as aerodynamic like a sport bike.
Bikes easy to manoeuvre at slow speeds so it's good to go in city traffic but you'll need to do off-road adventuring as well on the weekends to justify such a mad beast of a bike. So be warned 😂
Hi. Good video!. I have a KLR 2014 with the same power and weight than the 450MT. However since the engine of the KLR is 650cc, the KLR goes at less RPM than the 450MT @ the same speed. I wonder if it would be a real upgrade going from the KLR to the 450MT. Cheers.
I would say the 450mt will be much more exciting over the klr650 single. I hear the weight feels lower on the 450mt. But like anything it would be worthwhile test riding one to see how it compares for you
How is the quality brother?
It really good
Parts are falling off from a new motorcycle?!?! Bummer
Yeah it's not good but it is what it is.
@@outie555really ? I’ve almost never opened my seat. And they are not there… are you sure does rubbers came with the bike ? Did you notice them ?
I love your high tech navigation device when you've got a supposed high tech 5" TFT display which you can't use for Navigation. A bit of a big flop for the chinese in the tech department when Royal Enfield have Google maps interfacing on their new Himalayan on their round colour TFT display. Also not impressed they've used chinese brakes when other reputable manufacturers use Brembo & Bybre including Royal Enfield & new baby Triumph's. Again another failure is the chinese rubber while Triumph use Metzler Karoo Street which are a good quality tyre & Royal Enfield use Pirelli, although my Meteor has Ceat tyres which I've found to be a good all round tyre for city/ highway & off road-also no issues in the wet. I'm still running my original factory tyres with 16,500 km on my clock. Looks to me like you've upgraded the screen which is another cost. Id be interested to know your range from the huge 17.5 litre tank. I get 400+ ks from my 15 litre tank on my 350! This has also being a somewhat negative feedback that the economy is below par for a bike of this capacity. Actually I think the Triumph 1200cc Bonneville would be more economical. I think their's some work to do for their upgraded next gen model. Otherwise it was looking like a blinder in the lite middleweight segment. Sounds like you're having fun on it, which is the main thing..
At least 400 km I think, but will range test after new oil from first service.
The Himalayan only supports It's google maps interface, which for some might be fine, but in rural australia there is very patchy mobile coverage and the Himalayan requires the mobile data as far as I know
Bro can you Show how you can lower the seat positon to 800mm
I probably won't do it as I'm tall so I want that 2cm height, but if I get the chance I'll at least show the bolt in the suspension that you undo to lower it 2cm.
@@outie555i heard that its possible to Chance the Position on the seat?!
There's two different seats, high seat and a low seat. As standard it comes with the low seat. The high seat can be purchased as an accessory.
The suspension has two settings for height. 820mm is the standard and 800 is the lower setting.
Is it easy to Chance from 820mm to 800mm on the suspension? Mabe you can Show it in a Video? Im sure this will improve your Views. Best David
how tall is that windshield?
45 cm for the tall, it's in my other video on the windshield installation. I pan the camera over them with a measuring tape underneath
@@outie555 thanks
@@outie555 how tall are you?
185cm 6'1"
@@outie555 cool, i'm 182, so maybe i'll need the same height, thanks a lot and enjoy your ride :D
You could update the title to 500 miles review and get more viewers.
Ok will do, thanks
