❤😢 Brilliant thanks

The vast majority of on-road punctures occur in the rear tire. Not sure why, but the data supports that the rear is most vulnerable. The front wheel is more apt to get a dented rim. So, the natural solution is a tubed front wheel, and tubeless rear wheel, and carry a tube that will work in both the front and the rear, just in case, as well as plugs for the rear. And a pump. And tire irons. And patches. And a cell phone and a credit card.

Haha, Pavlin getting angry in traffic. That's so rare.

Good advice!

1. Motivation to reach destination 2. Early start, afternoon ride finish, early bed 3. Ride 80-90kmph, enjoy the ride 4. Break time <15minutes 5. Ride 500km max, even you can do 1000kms in a day. goal: consistent, comfort, enjoy, execute plan.

Wich color is this version? Is it a special kind of green?

Guys looks like joe Rogan 😂

im an american in greece and would love to go to russia, but am concerned the state would question me and monitor me when i return, if i do so. ....am i worrying too much?!

Mate, if every time I watched your videos I'd have a drink, I'd be alcoholic 😂

That's exactly the filosofía of any adventure. Less is more.

Hello, Pavlin, what do you think of my idea to sell my GSXR K4 750cc for an adventure bike, for example, get a new CFMOTO 450mt? Or, the other one that I like is old - a Honda Africa Twin '95(really wanted that motorcycle when I was young). I love my Suzuki, but it's a sport bike and I am 36 years old and a bit heavy. Of course I accept other suggestions for a bike :) . Good luck and happy riding!

What do you think about taking a Suzuki xf 650 Freewind with around 50k km, on touring around Europe or Turkey?

Hi Pavlin. I did not read all the comments so sorry if someone already suggested this, but to carry the tank bag and jacket around on a hot day you may consider a packable daypack. It takes very little space and turns into a full backpack when unfolded. You can put your jacket and tank bag in it and keep your hands free when you are sightseeing. Cheers!

first half of the video made me don't want to see other videos from him :))). Such a waste of time. But, the second part is good and what he said he will be talking about. Had a nice perspective too

How long did you plan on making this video Pavlin? 😑

Thank you for this video. As a new rider I understand what you are trying to say as experienced rider. Sometimes our ambitions can be dangerous and we need to realize that in time.

Keeping it real! this is why I like listening to you, your talk has a grounding effect. Absolute truth.

I have the XT660 R version,same bike ,same reliable engine as the XT660 Z but with smaller fuel tank and less weight. I am very content of my XT660 R ,I have it for more then 10 years and I can’t replace it ,even after several test rides with other new twin cylinder adventure bikes.

Latex gloves and a taser are my goto items.

Mr. Pavlin says, "The Lone Wolf rides alone!"

Nice that your filter matches the flag colour 😂😂😂

4:25 i disagree about the vibration. I mean, yes, it is there, but you just barely feel it in the handlebars, and when looking at the pegs, the major reason you feel it is due to the lack of rubber inserts on the stock pegs. you can buy the rubber insert and it improves comfort by a lot on a long trip, then you cna just take them off when you get to your destination. -> i am of course talking about having to drive over 300km to somewhere 7:51 you can show other things on the dash, just click the select button next to it. Yes, this is not as good as a proper tft

I drive MT07 (21) 2 years and i m very happy. Unfortunately T7 ist too high for me as woman.

Pavlin, you really good doctor in this motorcycle adventure,wise words!Good Lucky with you ever.Know a lot..

Give me address of this showroom please, I want to go there for servicing of my new Super Meteor 650

Great point. Im enjoying a 150cc

are you insane ? STOP plate, close car in your left side and you turning? stupidity? i hear key in box is choping fxck

Man and machine in perfect harmony!

Hi Pavlin! As always - amazing video, huge fan for years. 👌 Just ordered a set of TKC 80 for my Tenere 660. Quick question: In the video 8:35, there's a small black rubber block with Latvia country contour - does it have any significance? (seems pretty random for you to have it) Have you been or planning to come to Latvia? 🤔

Getting access to the air filter without having to fondle around with plastics and cosmetic parts - a true hallmark of a proper adventure bike 💪🏻

11:11 🥰

Superb

Not boring, as usual I'm learning. Thank you.

oh noooooo!!!!! k&n air filter oil is a poor choice for foam filters. it works 'alright' on the cotton pleates(I don't care for k&n) but for whatever reason it just runs off the oiled foam into clumps or droplets..... realy weird.

ARieman1 youtuber channel has a pre filter on his T7, it's round and goes around the OE filter. Makes it very simple to clean out in Australia where's he's from with all the sand etc. Brilliant idea

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The WELL proportioned gentleman at the gas station, was very curious about your activity

You got a water hose. Hell, bust it wide open. Good vid. Interesting to find something besides a UNI Filter. Off-The-Road supplied me a lot of parts for my Tenere. Yes, for a fee. Shipping is fair and quick to USA. I'll try and find the filter setup over here first. I ride dusty trails and it would definitely be good to have. I feel like I just won DAKAR Rally every time I ride mine. Next time

Thank you for this honest review. As I future Tuareg owner I really appreciate this review. I suspect that the choking sound you hear is the air going into the air intake. Also the suspension adjustment may be required for your own use. These are both issues that I will investigate before I buy the Aprilia Tuareg.

👍👍👍👍

Video is great as always, but the 'music', oh boy, so annoying...

Elephant in the room. The Echelon has very little abrasion protection. If you go sliding down the road, it could just rip apart and who knows if the level 2 armour will stay in place. Recommended rating for road use is minimum A but preferably AA or AAA. I have the Rukka Remo-R jacket and pants. 2 layer Gortex Laminate like this jacket but with 500 D re-inforcement in the shoulders, elbows and knees etc. It is only rated at level B, a rating only for offroad. Very comfortable and comfort or rather discomfort can impact safety. If you are uncomfortable you might not be focused on the road ahead. The Echelon only has 400D in shoulder and elbows etc. Safety is a personal choice, but to make the right choice you need the information. I accept the risks involved with my choice. Feel free to make your informed choice. Ride safe my friends 😉

Pavlin what is that tool you are using to dry the air filter? One more thing, I always put a little grease between the airbox and the filter. It helps with a better seal. 👍🏻

A few points. I have found that K&N filters do let dust in when used off road. The prefilter is a good idea in your case. I feel that a foam prefilter pretty much makes the main filter redundant and being of a smaller surface area than the main filter will require cleaning more often so as not to restrict flow. Do kit use K&N filter oil on a foam filter. It is designed for cotton guaze filters and has different properties to the one l needed for foam filters. Great videos. Thanks for your efforts.

That filter looks very interesting for desert riding and so on. If I ever do that I will put it. The best mod for me by far on the T7, was the high rally seat. So much better riding position and more leg room :)

K&N filters are very bad for dirt bikes, they let too much dirt through. Use a 2 stage foam filter like UNI.

Top tip. And good location for the lock. Currently in Bavaria, where the snorkel would be useful! Ride safe 👍

My enduro from the 1970's came with a K&N and a foam sock. Most people removed the sock, but not a noticeable difference in power and engine longevity no-one would ever find out. Water ingress would be slower with the sock. The filter compartment allowed water to exit to the bottom of the bike like a carb. overflow tube.

Got to be careful when washing as water will run down the tank and soak the filter. I take the seat off and cover the filter with a plastic bag and me mind full where I spray . Also from the sides of the seat water can soak the filter. I personally use the funnel web from Australia but each to their own.

sorry but you do know theTenere has wrong size air line and throttle don't fully open ether do know this right??
