Such a cool Video. Hope you enjoy the Bike and Ride Safe :)
Thanks for sharing this information my 2011 Hi Rider has done 370,000km and is about to get its third centre bearing and i will be adding a spacer as it has exactly the problem you had on yours. I will have a look at the slip yoke clearance at full upward suspension movement just to be sure it does not bind.
that's a lot of nileage 👍. Hope it works out well for U.
Not working with me only battery voltage my car nissan y62
contact OBDLINK tech support.
Thank you from Canada. Very useful information
you are most welcome.
How deep is the main pouch? I’m planning to store my zoom h5 mic and it’s height is 20cm ish
the main pouch is 20cm height. U can find dimensions in the manufacturer product webpage www.rhinowalk.cn/m/products_1.asp?id=1493. But read my video-description, where I explain that after mths of use, I find the material is torn & not robust.
thank you, sir
you are welcome
Great video. You explain everything so well in your videos. I also have a Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro and have installed the Triumph "Low" seat as you've discussed in one of your other videos. Thank you for the great content you're providing.
thanks for your feedback. I absolutely love my TIGER900GTP.
We are the same height! I am looking to also get the Tiger 900 :) Thank you for your videos, they really give me confidence. I bought the Daytona M-Star pro boots
let me know what you think of the Daytona M-Star boots, after you get to use them.
Sir, what model is the Zircon scanner, how much is it and where I can fix d, please..?
you will be able find various Zircon models by google.
Thank you, mate! Great great video! The bag is top quality, I will get one. Cheers from Brazil.
thanks for your comment. I updated the video description, to explain that the bag didn't last long as the material split. So the material is not robust unfortunately.
im so happy that i saw this video by pure coincidence as im fixing up the decking at my mothers house... as soon as i heard the voice on this video, i knew it was the man who taught me the theory of "top cover" and i am elated to be a student of DIYhabitat once more. great videos, im going to watch them all.
thanks for your kind words. PM message me. Would love to hear from U, & learn what U do these days.
You must have the wrong prop on there...
yep. it doesn't make sense as i bought truck brand new years ago.And it has no suspension lift. Only possibility is that since i optioned the factory heavy-duty springs when i bought the truck. My guess is the HD springs exert higher lift compared to std springs.
Good job
thanks for ur feedback
as i get older, it's harder to work in home-garage lying flat under car - as it gives me vertigo 😔
Where did you get the new radiator guards? I have a 2023 Tiger gt pro also. I just watched your video on the lower seat also. After a long day of riding I definitely need a better seat
1) there are store links in video description. 2) i added a black sheepskin seat cover. It is now really comfy on the low-seat. yellowearth.com.au/products/black-sheep-motor-bike-cover-au
Hi sir, I want to ask about freedconn fx, I got information about freedconn fx can connect with 6 intercoms with different brands?
Best for you to contact Freedconn directly for that question. en.fdcdz.com/portal/page/index/id/24.html
@@DIYhabitat Thank you very much sir
Thanks for the video. I just ordered the panel for my stick up cam which I have inside a birdhouse believe it or not. The day after I put it up, a blue bird has been checking it out and I have been watching so much that the battery is already down to 90%. LOL
i have 5 Stickup battery cams all around outside of house. All connected to solar panels. 4 cams are installed into rain/sun steel-shades i built from rain box-gutters. The solar panels sit on top the shade-roof. there is video of how i make these shades. Works very well, as I have not needed to replace batteries in about 1.5yrs.
@@DIYhabitat That is great info. Thank you!
Здравствуйте. Почему греется барабан?
It is possible adjustment is not corrwct, & the brakes are grabbing the drum, even when no brake-pedal or hand-brake is used.
@@DIYhabitat порегулировать шестерню через отверстие сзади?
Super helpful 💯
thanks. I'm glad you found it so.
Belíssimo trabalho, depois de ver esse vídeo, ficou muito fácil a instalação.
Grazie per il tuo feedback Sono felice che tu abbia trovato utile il mio video.
Thanks! And about sizing of the boots? I generally use 41,5 European / Size 8... So, some doubts about choose size 41 or 42...
best to be able to test fit both sizes at a store. But if not, a bigger size can be worn with thocker socks.But a smaller size cannot be comfortably squeezed into.
Any luck with the block splitter sharpened since then?
i have not sharpened the block splitter since. But another viewer did, & said it worked well.
My 80mm Kowa RSN-series scope, costing over £1500 over twenty years ago, has now become sticky wherever the green finish has been put, and also the protective black ring around the front of the body. I am less than happy with this, as you can imagine, and will certainly NOT be buying any Kowa products in future.
sad to learn condition of the paint, & black ring. Would be interesting for you to write to KOWA, with fotos of the deteriorated parts, to ask them why it happened; if there is a fix; & if this can also happen to present day models.
@@DIYhabitat I ended up sending back to Kowa UK, aka Pyser SG Ltd. They wrapped in in plastic food saran wrap and sent it back to me. That's not really the answer to a known fault on a high-priced optical product.
yes, not good.
There is another filtet by Katadyne called the Combi filter which incorporates an additional activated carbon filter to take care of chemicals & odours
yes. The Combi filter includes carbon filter for taste & chemicals.
One downside of the Pocket is that it will not remove chemicals & odour.
that is correct. It also does not remove viruses.
I have the G73Sw and this video is very helpful! Well done, thanks for making this available.
glad you like it. thanks.
Great video, very helpful. Do the instructions list the torque numbers? I look at the instructions posted online, no torque settings...
thx. The GIVI instructions do not provide torque settings. Very few - if any - 3rd party crashbar manufacturers provide bike specific torque-settings owing to liability. Google search TIGER900RP service-manual, & it contains torque-settings.
Good comparison! Too bad they shortened the length of the cable to 2 meters! I saw on amazon when I was looking at one earlier that they have an option for a 10 foot "extension" cable but it'll add $11 for each. I'm about to order 2 of these. I checked my 2 stick up pro cameras because I didn't see anywhere on them that I could plug a barrel type cable into either one. Finally found the little usb-c port hidden away on the back. Thanks for the info!!!
you are welcome
Very good video on installation of the solar chargers for your Ring stick up cameras! I just mounted 2 new Ring Stick up camera pros, and as I was doing it, I was already wondering why I didn't order the solar chargers at the same time! I realized I would be climbing back up the same ladder every time the batteries got low! I don't want to go through the process of disconnecting the batteries more than once to install fresh batteries. I was looking at my cameras and at 1st I couldn't see any type of port where the cable to the charger would connect on the body of either of my cameras though!! I finally found a USB C type plug in port tucked away up by where the manufacturers info is at. It's not a round hole for a little barrel type plug, if thats even what that type of connector is really called! I'm just going to order a couple of solar chargers, and hopefully the connection port is compatible with what they send me. I don't want to need some sort of adapter plug for it. I'm pretty sure they said they are compatible with the ring stick up camera pro's that I have 2 of now. We'll see how that goes. Seems like I saw they have a chord thats 13 foot long, I hope that is the case!!!
i have 5 outdoor RING STICKUP cams installed outside at various heights that need ladder access. They all have solar panels... so no need to change batteries. The new model solar panels are better with more power output. i have video comparing new to old panels. I had 1 STICKUP cam & panel replaced by RING tech support owing to excessibe battery drain after some mths of use. I kept detailed log of date/time/battery-level/activations. T And used that data log tp get RING to send me new replacement. I have video on that as well.
Thanks for video
you are welcome
Another happy customer. I did the hinge and vise grip solution and that troublesome door is now closing smoothly. Thanks a lot.
thanks for your feedback.
Whether you use a water or solvent based decking 'oil', neither leaves any oil on your deck, all of the solvent evaporates. What's left is a plastic film coating. If you really want oil to penetrate into the wood pores, try a plant based oil stain like a linseed oil stain.
thx for info
Nice review!
thanks. glad you like it.
Just be careful where the hot air exhaust is pointing.
yes thx
Excellent video. My question is...How comfortable is the low "comfort" seat as compared to the stock seat? I have heated gear and with the heated grips, I dont anticipate riding in weather that Necessitates a heated seat, though it would be nice. Does the low seat have less padding? If so, I'm tempted to lower the suspension and/or invest int he Daytona Boots but leave the stock seat on the bike. Is the seat any narrower on the low? Thanks.
the low-seat has less padding, & i get painful bum after 1 hr of riding. So i installed a black sheep-skin rider seat-cover, & it gives much more comfort than both low & standatd seat.
Good job !
thanks
Both nice rifles. I really like the HS precision and thinking about building one similar in either 308 or 30-06. Did you son buy that as a package or did it come with a Hogue stock ? If so do you know how it compared weight wise.
We bought the HOWA 1500 -308 as barreled-action only (i.e. without gun stock). And bought the HS PRECISION PSS138, & KRG BRAVO gun stocks separately. PSS138 weighs about 2lb 6oz (1.08kg). KRG BRAVO weighs 2.9lb (i.e. 1.32kg). I agree the HSS1138 look s very nice, & good quality.
@@DIYhabitat awesome thank you.
I always appreciate how detailed you are with the instructions - thanks!
thanks for viewing, & your feedback. It is in my nature. Details on HOW to do something, what to watch out for. Are as important - if not more - than only telling someone , WHAT needs to be done.
Nice. I have the same issue and this is a great way to organize the dies 👍
it was frustrating to store loose dies, & find the correct dies, when i need them. So i had to do something about it. thanks for your feedback.
Excellent review straight to the point. 👍👍👍
glad you like it. thanks for your feedback.
Excellent video. Very clear and precise 👍 It would be nice to see the bike with the finished crash bars in place
thanks. I tend to be a details person. Generally, info on 'how to do something', is as important as the 'what needs to be done'. At the very end of video, there are several still-photos of the crash bars as installed.
@@DIYhabitat Yes that really shows in the way you explain what you are doing and it makes for a very helpful video. The pics at the end are too close up to get a sense of how the bike looks with them on.
Unfortunately, YT comments does not enable insertion of a photo.
How do you replace the cable? There is no clear instructions anywhere in the manual or on Milwaukee site. Weird.
There are 4 Philips-head screws that attach the front black front-cone, to the red-color main-body. Unscrewing the 4-screws, will reveal the drain-coil is stored inside athe red main-body. The coil is only simply retained in the main-body by tension. It is not screwed to anything. So when the black front-cone & red main-body are fixed together. Operate the drain-snake to fully extend outwards. Then remove the battery. Unscrew the 4 screws to reveal the short remaining length of coil in the red main-body. Simply use hand to pull it out.
Thank you so much for this video!! I had no idea what these meant and didn’t know what would be best to use! Thank you again :))
glad you found it helpful.
Super helpful thank you 😊
glad it helps. i couldn't find any RING tech info on this. So figured i need to do this video.
Thank you sir, I love the idea.
glad you like it.
on drywall and bricks - the results searching for electric cables + metall-pipes vary if your hands have contact with the wall or not .. depends on how you are grounded - bosch recommends not to change hand-on & hand-off during measuring-searching
Thanks for the reminder. You raised an interesting aspect. For non-electrical materials, detection is via Radar system. However, for detection of LIVE AC-current electrical-wires, detection is done via EMF (Electro-Magnetic-Field) detection. Hence, when attempting to detect LIVE AC-current electrical-wires over a large area, it is useful to discharge body static-electricity by placing hand on wall - as you said. It also makes detection easier when electrical equipment - which are connected to the LIVE AC-current circuits - are switched on. As the LIVE-circuits generates stronger EMF to enable easier detection. The caution then is that if there are AC-current electrical-wires behind a wall, & the circuit(s) is/are not LIVE (e.g. the switch-board circuit-breaker is switched off). Then the D-TEC120 will not detect existence of LIVE-wires. Thus a user may misconstrue that to mean there is something there, but no electrical-wire behind that wall. Then if the user drills/cuts that area of wall, & later switches back on the power to that circuit. It becomes a serious electrical safety hazard. Another caution to note is that this device does not detect LIVE DC-current electrical-circuits. This can be a serious problem as more homes, caravans, trailers, motorhomes are powered by solar-powered battery-systems. But for detection of non-electrical materials (water-pipes, timber-studs, steel-posts, etc), radar system is used, & placing of hands on wall to discharge static-electricity would not be required. What are your thoughts?
,RECIEN VEO ESTE VIDEO, ENCONTRASTE ALGUIN ESCANER CON MAYOR PRECISION PARA CAÑOS DE AGUA de 12 CM MINIMO ( plomo , galvanizado. pvc , etc )
in the user-manuals, accuracy of D-TEC120 is +-10mm. Whereas accuracy of D-TECT200 is +-5mm. Suggest you investigate.
that sliders on the subframe will just cause more damage
on the RHS, the frame-slider is mounted to fixing-point for exhaust-silencer. If the bike doesn't have frame-slider & drops on RHS. That impact is absorb by exhaust, & then transferred to its mounting point. With a frame-slider installed, it saves the exhaust, & transfers impact to same fixing point on subframe.
@@DIYhabitat any multi points front crashbar will bend when tip over on these heavy bike. What makes you think this single point puny slider will do anything beside breaking, damaging the subframe, being a PITA to remove?
Thank you for the good review. How is it working out for you? I just ordered a pair of them for $120 on Amazon last night. And now I'm happy because I see the price went up :) I was going to get Cardo X4, but too much money for features I don't need. I want to the Freedconn on a Honda ADV 160 I will buy when I retire to Philippines in August. Ride safe!
i have been using the FREEDCONN FX since i released the video. And have had no problems at all. Last time I used it was about 2 wks ago. And have a safe happy retirement riding.
Verry helpful.. thank you so much
