Dork is a Honda guy there's nothing changing that I notice since he got 300l really he won't sh*t about how great Honda's are that transalp that need 3 k just to get to the Level of pstrom yet he will tell you that that's nothing you gonna do that anyway not all ppl want heavy bars and heavy skid plate but hand guards and qs are nice add on

I appreciate your video, but there is no way I would be checking or replacing these spark plugs before the first valves clearance check and probably even later. These are iridium plugs that last in automobiles for life or at least 160000 kms. If there was really a need to replace them every 12000 kms, then Suzuki has a serious design flaw.
@samporter481817 күн бұрын
Suzuki and their Dealer's, just want your money and lots of it. Please quote what having the plugs replaced at a Dealer would cost! That and a Valve adjustment would be so cost prohibitive that 99% of owners will never do it: My recently purchased 800DE is my 91st New Motorcycle in 62 years of riding, touring, semi-pro racing, 1/4 mile races, Baja events, ISDT Rally's and I built Dyno winning HD Big Twin engines and raced 2 stroke Desert and Motocross and even Trials and I have always done my own maintenance; Stay away from DEALERS. I was recently quoted $180 for just an Oil and Filter change for my first service @ 553 miles and If I wanted THEIR recommended, CHECK all the boxes service, it was $280. By the way, Sparkplugs in MODERN engines, running NO LEAD gasoline and looking as great as yours, probably won't need changing for 70-80 thousand miles! I'm a Subscriber and I compliment your Video's!

Good morning. I have Nelson Rigg rackless Hurricane soft panniers, and a Givi Trekker Outback 58L top case. I loved the Givi AirFlow on my 650XT but not so much on the 800. I swapped out the AF3125 on my 800 for a CalSci large screen. It’s massive but it’s the only screen out if the 4 I’ve mounted that’s provided good wind protection without buffeting or excessive noise.

Haha maybe ill splurge on the skid plate! The tc on the 650 can be turned off(and stays off), level 1 is unusable on gravel, level 2 is also pointless.

In the manaul, the Oil Change intervals are 600miles (1000km), 3750mi (6000km), 7500mi (12000km), 11250mi (18000km) and 15000mi (24000km)

It's a Givi plate that I had mounted on my VS 650XT. The mounting holes in the plate line up with the holes in the plastic luggage rack. I did, however, fab up some support braces using 1/2" tube to help hold the weight of my top case.
