Nice job. I'm sure they intentionally leave a few unprotected items on bikes knowing they'll get a bit rusty in a few years encouraging you to think about trading in! Luckily this channel helps people keep a perfectly good bike well maintained and looking good as new! I noticed in the UK where it rusts after about 10 minutes in the wet salty roads of winter, the front ABS ring is powder coated on later models.

Thanks. Yes we are fortunate in Oz to not have $&@t weather that requires condiments to be spread on our roads.

Something that's been catching my eye for a very long time now... Thanks for the effort of doing this video. Always appreciated.

Interesting procedure to a great result, congrats and thanks a lot!

Muchas gracias por todas tus aportaciones. Tus lecciones llegan muy lejos. Thank you

I like you for technique for using feet to position wheel for axle. Simple, but I never thought of doing it. I need to try that next time.

Always useful videos. Thanks a lot 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Such good painting skill.

Fantastic video, and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

Very nice! Gotta touch up my shift lever at some point this summer -- getting rusty from when I crashed and scraped it up.

Usual great quality stuff. Thank You very much.

And here i am waiting for my 11000 km to click over on my 500x good video the rear wheel is a pain to get back on front is easy

Very cool 😎

It’s all about the details…👍🏻

Great Job! Here in the USA, lots of people are going to start having "BOB as their uncle".... love it! They might "come-a-cropper"

Thanks mate. But to be fair, it’s taken me 6 yrs to do that. Which is less than I would normally do in that time.

nice! job

I really should do this to mine. I am sure it arrived out of the box with rust on the abs ring (but we do like to put salt on the roads 13 months per year up here). 😭 Maybe I could paint mine black and get the wheels redone in anthracite grey at the same time 😍

Yep. Those colours sound good to me.

When torquing down bolts with the elbow the manual clearly state if a torque wrench is not available, when tightening said bolt by a untrained diy mechanic should make a solid click at the exact moment he/she/it/they believe it’s at the recommended value.

Hmmm. Yes. Good advice.

I've got one of those builtin 'elbow' talk renchis as well. Head bolts, rod bolts, cam caps, crankcsse, wheel nuts, yeah what the hell is a torque wrench? Except I bought one (recently) and the only reason seems to be making sure the car wheels A, Don't fall off, and B, some thing else, duñno

Looks so much better. I'm just wondering if there is possible merit in two coats of paint even allowing that it is a thick mix? I recently repainted a helmet and used multiple sprays of a thin mix at a distance which turned out exceptionally well. Up to 90.000 km's so that's a good achievement. Make sure you have a good photo of the 100,000 you can show off.

Thanks mate More coats? No. It would just make the paint cover thicker and softer with this type of paint.

I'd really like to meet Uncle Bob one day 😁

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff seriously thank you for the videos! I have a 21 DCT but I'm sure must of your videos still apply to my newer model.

The brass threaded insert in the rubber well nut to the side of the indicator has broken loose and now the bolt can't come out. Thinking of drilling it out through the hex but it may trash the whole side panel. Have you ever come across or have any ideas? Thanks for this video by the way.

Only tyre noise. Every different tyre type I have tried, produces a different sound. And of course, the more aggressive the tread the louder it is.

looks like a bought one lol

the quality of all bikes has gone down the pan, cheap parts, cheap labour, and shove them out at mid range price, like a boomerang throw it out and it lands in the garage.

You are probably right but I’ve got no complaints about the build quality of my 2016 NC. It’s way better quality than my previous bike - BMW 1150GS.
