@@johnpavlic Try different bar end weights to shift the vibes to a Rev level you don’t consistently ride at .You can also try filling your handle bars with silicon sealant or fit foam hand grips or all 3 methods .Hope that helps .

You know Pavlin I love your videos, your energy, your enthusiasm and your vast knowledge of long distance motorcycle trips is second to none and this is why I subscribe to your channel. I have used your good advice when I have been on long trips that involve on and off road riding when on my BMW Sertao. But.....when I am going on a long road trip that is just tarmac I take my elephant as you call it. My beautiful, comfortable BMW R1200GS TE with shaft drive and a smooth big twin engine and good luggage capacity. My last trip from England was through Europe taking in the Alps, the Dolomites taking in Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania through to mainland Greece then to beautiful Bulgaria. In Bulgaria I went to Melnic, Sofia and Plovdiv before heading back to Greece and back home. A great trip on a great bike. But I would not take my GS on some of my trips. It is horses for courses and on this trip the GS was the perfect bike. For my trip up to the Italian salt trails the year before the Sertao was the perfect bike. On my local trails in the UK I have a CRF250L for fun. Now I have retired I can ride lots more and do more trips and go further. I also know I am very lucky to have the choice of 3 bikes but not one of my bikes is bad or wrong they are all brilliant for what I want from them. All of you enjoy your riding and keep safe, we are all one big fraternity of brothers who would help each other wherever we are in the world. Also Pavlin I was very sad I didn’t get to Varna, I just ran out of time.

Here is tip for adding 3cm risers to xt660z without buying new cables. Trick is to reroute throttle cable , you need to pull of tank and reroute cable just behind the frame, that will give you those extra 1cm, thats how I did to mine. I think 3cm is max without buying new ones. Great video !

Great advice as usual. I have always wondered why so many motorcycle manufacturers put terrible seats on their otherwise well designed bikes. A few years ago I bought a new Triumph Tiger 800XC. The seat felt OK for the fifteen minute test ride. However after I bought the bike and spent an hour plus in the seat, it was murdering my arse, also needed bar risers. Most bikes I have had over the years needed after market seat for longer trips. The only bikes that I have owned that the original seat felt comfortable after an hour was a BMW GS and a Suzuki V Strom 650.

@michawesoy2728

I think, it really depends, and they are not so horrible. For example, stock KLR 650 seat is good for me, but many people are writing that it's terrible. From the other hand, MT-07 seat is not very ?stable? for me, but almost everyone I know are praising it for ergonomics. So... maybe it has something to do with "ass geometry" and every manufacturer is trying to fit his seat to some abstract group of people without paying too much?

Best thing I've ever done for prolonged distance ability is fitting highway pegs. For me it was just a short length of shower rod slipped behind the frame and secured with fencing wire. It could be called a wombat sweeper.

The saddle is the biggest problem! (in my experience) In the beginning of the season, I can go 100km with a little pain, at the end of the season i can go 400km. But in all the villages I pass, I stand up on the pegs, to get some blood circulation in my butt. The saddle is the key to a successful long journey! I bought a "comfort saddle" of Toratech for my GS, the standard saddle is just as good, (don't waste your money) and you save 400 € at least! The other of your tips is common sense, but not obviously, so thumb up! In combination of all of the tips you have given us over the years, you've covered most of it! Keep it up!! In any case, I from Sweden, and understand your English god!

Again usefull video as allways. I'm beginner and ride BMW G650 build 1994. It is cheap and perfect to sample first expiriance. I desided to leave original 25 mm handlebar and gripps because there is no reason to invest in an old bike. Maybe fist I need to bend the heandlebar in offroad befor I bay a 28 mm handlebar. I am 187 cm tall, so I make the original seat flat using yoga pad and some old material.

@ 7:42 that is EXACTLY what I was thinking. I bought a GPS mount for my 1st bike even before I picked it up at the dealer. The guys there actually installed it for me for free, proper electrical wiring and everything and it's great, precisely because it's in my face basically, without obstructing the instrument cluster. FYI, if anybody needs a good cheap GPS mount for a v strom in Europe (incl. 2017 and later), google search marselus GPS Mount.

Great tips! Break/clutch levers and gear/break pedals are the first thing I adjust when I sit on a motorcycle. Another thing that will help is upgrade for mirrors (I used curved stick-on mirrors) to eliminate blindspots. Cheap and easily installed on your existing mirrors. What do you think of these?

I've noticed what you mean on gps position, as CRF250L cant have it where I want it I often rely on audio gps instructions over bluetooth headset and look down less often. As I'm lightweight I'm fine with stock seat but you are right, any heavier and you are sitting on the frame of it, its like bikes suspension preload, for specific weight, but its not adjustable, you need to change the foam density. Handlebar risers is something I'd like to get but there is another thing that you didnt mention about them and I think its valid. Driver above waist height - seat height - bars height - arm length correlation. For example, I could use bar risers, but if I install them, then while sitting, my arm from elbow to wrist height is increasing. So wrist is higher then elbow. Blood flow is worse, you feel more tingling, colder hands and possibly more other problems. I havent tested the theory, I just use it as an excuse for not using bar risers as my elbow and wrist are same height now :)
