My lights shut off after about 30 seconds then come back on. Does it with bike running and without and does it with just the normal low beam on or after market fog lights. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do I need to do valve adjustment after draining oil on TW 200 if also want to do valve gap check. Or can be done with oil in the bike?

At 76 years old, I can't imagine a more fun bike to be on. I love mine so much, my Royal Enfield Himalayan only has about 250 miles on her, and I bought her new in 2021. the TDub, well, let's just say there's LOTS more miles on her, and she's a year newer!!

Yea bud, id like see you have more gear on being out there alone especially

I got my first bike last year, and its a liter sports bike. I even took it on dirt roads and stuff like that, trying to figure out what kind of riding is most fun and enjoyable. And its cool, its definitely nice to have all the power to do whatever you want, but most enjoyment I ever had, was just rolling around on country roads without speeding that much or at all. Made me understand that just seat time and riding all year long without problems is most important, rather than few bursts of adrenaline when your bike finally runs right

Do you ever worry about something with long hairy arms reaching out and grabbing you while riding at night? Once, while I was riding in the evening, something broke a perfectly healthy 3-inch thick tree in two from a hill above me and threw it in my path. I had to stop. When I looked up the hill, I could see that the tree trunk was shredded. No sight of what broke it and threw it. I scurried out of there as fast as I could.

That would be convent if not a safety...wouldn't the rocks increase your chance of a flat? Do you carry a fix it kit?

Praise be to God!

Dang dude that sucks. Sorry this happened to you on your new bike. I felt sick to my stomach when it slid out. So fortunate those fellas drove by... That's beyond lucky

need a 300 2 stroke

😂 Add some spooky strings music and some jump scares and you got a horror film

Yep airing down the TW tires makes it handle rough stuff so much better. Glad to see you still giving the TW some love.

I run 8 psi in the stock rear tire always but have dropped it down to 4 psi for extra traction on rocky climbs. I run 6 psi in the front tire, a Pirelli Scorpion 130/80 knobby because it has a very stiff sidewall. I weigh 190 without gear. I have two of the self contained air pumps and they are excellent, if you get a good brand. One of mine died after about 12 uses but the other is going strong so far. The dead one I did an autopsy on and it threw a rod. It looks like the snap ring that kept the connecting rod on to the crank was not installed at the factory. Installing a new (tiny!) snap ring did not fix it, the piston had damaged the cylinder wall too much when the rod came loose and the crank pin beat on it. Trashed. I also carry an electric jump starter and it is great insurance. I have tested all 7 of my pressure gauges and none of them read the same.

Riding alone at night on a single track is not for me. This summer I had my bike (Beta) on top of me more than once on difficult single track in the day but I used all my strength to free myself, had it been at night it would have compounded the situation. Be safe my friend!

Taking back control....sounds good. I was just checking back , wonder what the status was. Without the skill set the Triumph wouldn't make sense for me. I've always had the theory, expensive bikes are expensive to fix.

Nice video. Braver (& better & younger) than I am after dark & solo.

Can you do a video on just the tools you carry ? Unless you already have one….

Do you ever pass another rider on your late night, spooky rides?

Good to see you're still around. Your channel inspired me to get my KLX230 S and I've been happily without a car for 2 years. How many miles do you have? I'm pushing 8500 miles and I bought it new. I hope to take mine long distance after I mod the seat and get my rear rack. I've been hundreds of miles across the tri-state area(PA, MD, WV) on the east coast. It's been a great, reliable vehicle so far with maintenance.

Having trouble with bugs flying around inside your helmet - perch a praying mantis on top of your nose.😂

Hey Wes - How would you like to take a single track like that at night in the northern rockies where 700 pound grizzly bears roam?😮😂

Ride sand dunes near my house. Definitely air down and float on that sand all day. Was riding trails in Japan last week on a borrowed TW225 with van van tires. Basically street tires. Has a blast but pretty squirrelly.

I run 10-11lbs everywhere I go no matter the terrain. Also 18psi would be for OEM tires, your running the shinko tire maybe the psi is different.

I run 10 pounds everywhere I go

Lot of work went into a mirror review. Even put in special effects . Good video . I have these morrors . They are the best lookimh mirror just not that practicle

I usually ride mine on trails like that around 10-12 psi, much better off road and on gravel roads, lot's less squirmy on gravel. I also have the Bradley ATV rear kit, you really need to get this, it's a game changer, ton's of traction more stable and softer ride. My front is an IRC TR8. Great on trails like that. Funny thing I almost bought that same pump a couple of months ago. I have one that will plug into my battery cable connector, but have to run the bike so it doesn't drain my battery. Great vid, glad your back!!!!

Interesting video! I've never reduced air pressure either, so I am learning from your experience. I'd like to get more traction at times in loose sand & gravel, so if you can give a demonstration under those conditions too(?) that would be interesting. The pump & jump starter combo could be handy for this softer ride; I just carry a simple foot pump.

I was on a trail like that where I live, but a straight up cliff on my right side, suuuuper sketchy, specially riding solo. I won't do trails like that solo anymore, if you end up down the left side, you could be in big trouble! Glad you made it back in one piece. Stay Safe!👍

Airing down in sand and mud helps. Airing down on rock might help but it’s a great way to bend a rim.

I think your analog tire gauge is inaccurate. I use the slime digital tire gauge. Check your new inflator to the slime digital to see how close it is. Best regards my friend

Great test! Thank you for reminding me what places I didn't enjoy the TW, on super rocky sketchy jeep trails, especially when steeper or a nearby ledge. The suspension does not eat much. I tried airing down a little, but not much because I ride to the trail, and I didn't notice much difference. I don't remember the pressure but probably not enough. Maybe it was from 22-25 down to 18. These compact compressors open up some possibilities.

Fun! That headlight is bright and has some good spread.

😬

Silky is great 👍 👌 👏 🙌 are you a lumber jack

I hate it when that happens! Definitely a butt clencher!

Brother glad to see you back on the Tw! Road my 2024 Tw on Monday this week the same kinda trails did not air down. My friends tried to tell me to air down I did not was not sure what to go down too., thanks for the info

Perfect night trail

That was some nasty river bed.

Pretty sure that sign says no motorized vehicles. Unsubbed.

There's only one way out, and that's through.

Weird question but when you ride where to you tend to look?

I took a weird approach to this problem and picked a PSI right in the middle, with a bias for the on road stuff. For my bike it's 25 front, 29 rear. Maybe if I was planning on spending all day offroad, I'd air down to proper offroad pressures, but I usually end up doing 70/30 type riding so I prefer the high mpg and long tire life to added grip offroad.

That drop off had me squirming a little just watching. Not something I like to come up on at night for sure!

omg thats super sletch!!!! 😱 i'm assuming you lived since you posted this video lol! stay safe out there man!

Do you still use that apple headphone as a mic?

Nice, what happened to the Triumph, did you shoot it 🤔

Love hitting those trails at night.👻🤘🏻

Did you say silky saw

Waiting for the bear to show up.

Would tax me during the day! 😮
