I have pin lock, didn't help much at about 1 degrees this evening. That's how I ended up here😂

Thanks Mike. I really appreciate your expertise and videos. They've helped me a bunch.😊

UK HD main dealers are the worst. I went to buy one and the scruffy staff just ignored me for 40 minutes and they finally asked want help I walked out walked into BMW bought a bike.

Timely and interesting video as I'm shopping for a 2024 SG. What I find interesting is that No one is talking about why Harley Davidson is only offering a 2 year factory warranty. We all know Cars and trucks come with 4 and 5 year Factory coverage, so why don't Harleys?

I appreciate ur content

I was gonna make the "I don't have any friends" joke, but you beat me to it! 😝 Thanks for keeping up the Pan America content, Mike!

This bike sucked when I had it back to back to back to back issues and time at dealership if you don’t have liquid 40k don’t buy this bike it will always dissappint you.

The biggest surprise here was the sport cases are only 5" narrower than the aluminum panniers. Bestem makes fitted liners that are currently $35. Has anyone figured out what those aluminum rails are for? With only one on each case, I can only imagine they are for securing a duffle across the pillion seat in a way that makes the cases impossible to open.

I find hard to see the shiny black oil against the shiny black plastic. Seems like the dipstick says UPRIGHT on one side and SIDE on the other, interesting. Wish they had just gone with a sight glass, like everyone else.

I wonder what riders do when off road or touring when brakes fluid fail?

AZ 10K service is getting close to 600 dollars how about others? Seeing price flucations?

A little irrelevant, but do you have a dealer you trust to work on your Pan Am? I'm in MD and the dealer near me seems damn near clueless with this bike so I'm fine with travelling up to PA if needed

I can’t seem to find that particular brush that you used for the cleaning. Is there a name for it?

Very good video. Just what I was looking for. Thanks 😎

Perfect video... Keep up the good work 👍

Now Harley plans on moving the production of this bike to Asia!!

Sportster S owner here, to clear the code, what do you do? I don't see the option to clear a P160800P code. The updated version of the software doesn't have a clear code button like the Pan America. Do you know how to clear it?

How do you clear the fault code

Thank you Mike

How about a lighter weight motorcycle?

great video, with great advice. Definitely getting those Green Chili straps. I would add some sort of protein bars. You never know when you get stuck and need to bring your blood sugar back up. Also a few hard candies, like jolly ranchers for the same thing, and for those with tubed tires, make sure you have all tools necessary to pull your tire off, spoons to get it off the rim, patch kit as well as extra tubes. I know some folks will only pack one tube; a 21" for the front, since you can jam that into the back if needed. Easier to wrap a 21" tube on a 19" rim vs the other way around.

Excellent video! Some very good advice!

Mike it was a great video.What tires are u running now?Do u like them

depending on how deep you go into the wilderness, if you can't get out and it turns into a survival situation calories are important. a good high calorie food combo to take with you is peanut butter and honey in a thick Ziplock bag. it's easy to store, lightweight, and packs a good punch when you're getting hungry while you're waiting for the calvary to arrive. also, along with the water you bring, bring some water purification tablets just in case you have a water bladder malfunction or run out. again, lightweight and you'll have plenty of water if you find a water source which shouldn't be hard in the wilderness.

Good job Mike! Was just up there today for a day ride on my orange creamsicle PanAm.

You're the man, Mike! The kind of adventure rider some of us adventure bike owners *wish* we were! BTW, I haven't put it through the paces, but I do think the CruzTools Pan America tool kit is a pretty decent place to start! If you get something similar, please let us know your thoughts! 😊

Ibuprofen &/or anti-inflammatory tablets for pain relief. Glucose chews/tablets for energy boost - careful if your diabetic.

Thanks for the Videos

Some good advice there Mike. I would add, learn how to use the first aid kit and make sure everyone in your groups knows. Just as important as everyone knowing how to use the garmimin.

Glad everything went smooth. I also have a part question, on what light mount you using there? I am using some Universal Light bracket from touratech and they are rather bulky, yours are so much cleaner looking.

Hi Mike, great video as always. I notice you are using the V stream windscreen. Have you noticed and cracking around the upper bolt holes?

Harley Davidson support and personnel is just nasty, makes me want to separate from the brand completely and it’s the majority of them. Price gouging on everything and every direction they send you it’s just more money spent

Thank you for the comparison. I'm curious if the hot-wired gloves are designed more for bikes with heated grips.

A other great video. Thanks for all you do. Is it possible for you to draw a schematic of the plate you made to place between your lift and the underside of the bike, or perhaps market the complete insert? We recently purchased a '23 Pan America and would like to do as much as we can for maintenance. We have a PitBull lift but have yet to try and lift the bike. Thanks again for all you do.

Scottoiler. Keeps the chain clean for 5,000 miles if you have the expansion pack. 2,000 if not.
