    I reset my tripmeter to 0. When I do about 300 miles, I clean and lube the chain every time. I've been using simple kerosene to clean the chain. It's inexpensive & very effective, recommended by many motorcycle mechanics. Works well to clean my aluminium rims and spokes. I'm using Motul chain lube so far. When that can runs out I'll use Dupont "Chain Saver" wax lubricant. I live in Southern California. I try to avoid riding in the rain, although sometimes I get caught in it. Am considering purchasing one of those spiral brushes. Looks a bit fiddley to get on the chain, though. Thanks for posting this video.

    How did you get that bottle to mist? Mine just squirts.

  • @andrewstewart106
    @andrewstewart10611 ай бұрын

    I found a bucket of warm water helped. Leave the spray bottle in it for around 20-30 mins. The ACF 50 should thin down a little. I made the mistake once of using water straight from the kettle and melted the bottle, never sprayed right after that. I then moved to a gravity fed gun for a compressor.

    @@gavinbroad1743 I had a couple of the small ACF 50 spray bottles, more of a jet than anything, and created a sloppy mess. I found the most reliable was a small compressor and a gravity fed gun, I used probably 70% less ACF than the spray bottles as it’s much more efficient at misting.

    This vid doesn’t have a crank case protector. At least not one I installed, all stock from purchase. Covering the rear wheel protecting the shock is the genuine Honda rear hugger. Also in my later vids I installed the Rally Raid bash plate which does offer a bit of protection for the crank case.

    Thanks for the great vid Mate. I recently just bought a 2nd hand 2020 CB500X here in Australia. Previous owner had it kited out with the full Rally Raid Lvl 1 system. It absolutely smooths out the tracks and the road! I haven't done a lot of, off roading yet, but the bit I have done, the bike handles wonderfully. The bike did come with Tubeless "Mitas E-07+ ENDURO TRAIL" Front and rear tires, which definitely help with grip in the rough and the slippery stuff.

    I can intimately attest to the cold, wet conditions and stunning beauty of the region depicted in your video- having ridden almost exactly the same route on my Dawes Galaxy in 1978 (up and over at Pen Y Pass with a welcome break at ‘Clanberris’ before riding on to Caernarfon). Unfortunately Mount Snowdon was completely hidden. Now, 44 years later, I prefer to sit astride the saddle of my gorgeous 2021 Honda CB 500x (Grand Prix red) and letting it do all the work - half a world away in a state ‘down under’ where the words ‘snow’ and ‘mountain’ refer to unknown concepts. Thank you for the great video.

The riser kit came with multiple length bolts, I honestly can’t fully remember but I may have had to order 2 slightly longer bolts. I think with a little rise it was fine. But with all the universal plates in, like I had, I had to source the longer bolts.
