Hi Xisco, I had 18s on both sides and never had an issue with contacting the exhaust. The bag and base dont come that close to the exhaust as the rear plastics panel spaces it a bit from it. Also, I change my standard exhaust to a Dominator GP1 which i think sits a little lower and further from the bag again. I think wont be an issue however.

Thanks!

Hi, They do not list it on their website that it does but I would suspect it probably does as the frame and engine are unchanged between the SMT & adventure. Double check with them.

The views start to get great from this point onwards :D

@@MarkiMotoYT oh im already super jealous alright🫠

I figured out after a while it was the sensor on the ground not detecting bike. If you park diagonally across them it worked! 😄

Glad you enjoyed! Casablanca was a great spot but I was really surprised by Rabat, that is a spectacular city. As for the Police.. Honestly they were zero problem for me. Waved through nearly every checkpoint except for one or two when they just wanted to chat 😄

Thanks!

Hi Bruno I had come across some small issues but nothing which was a show stopper at any stage during my travels. I've had the display sometimes randomly go dark, does not affect running of bike and a cycle of the ignition key always resolves. Was not very common. Sometimes during a difficult start for the starter motor, say you have in gear and clutched in, the extra drag during start pulls the battery voltage low to a point where it throws up an immobiliser error, again the bike still works fine and a few ignition cycles clears it. There is a bolt at the foot hangar that also secures the swingarm, these have a tendency to work themselves lose so require some high strength Loctite. Caveat, no harm in checking all screws and bolts once in a while! On very rare occasion bike might only start on 1 cylinder for a few seconds, I believe this to be down to petrol quality and this bike being sensitive to it more than anything else and does not cause any issues once warmed up. The brake light pressure switches can become faulty and brake light looks like its variable depending on brake force, easy fix and I did not bother worrying about it while on the road. There is a lot of noise online about concerns on the Camshafts and their reliability, to the point it was the biggest concern I had when it went for its first valve clearances check at 30k KM, no issues reported and bike is at nearly 52K KM. I got a leak in the radiator too but this was from physical damage of being dropped too many times I suspect :D I still stand by my choice for this bike as the best option, for the travel I had planned and my ride style :)

TKS. I have a possible deal with a 0km 890, not actual model, previus model. 12K€... But the " noise" of the problems...

I would say buy it and enjoy it 🤘

You are correct in the next I head south between Pombal and Ansião and stop off at Constança! 😀

Hope you enjoyed 🙂

I usually show a rough overview of route taken for the day near the start of the videos, 1:13 in this case. But I dont always follow it religiously 🙂

Good to know!

Thanks! 🙂

Thanks!

This was the Puig touring screen, it was quite tall and did block wind quite well. I changed to a shorter Puig sport screen though.

Yes, the catalytic converter is still fitted. Did not remove it.

@@MarkiMotoYT Thank you? Do you think the sound attract attention to police? This Storm has a good price compared other slip on.

True I had no issue with them. Just the big horns make you reconsider :D Thanks!

Thanks for watching 🙂✌🏼

Amazing for sure!

Oh! I thought it was for insects maybe 😅😅

Thanks! Portugal is amazing!

Thankfully I didnt 😬

😂

Thanks 👍

It sure was 🥲

😅

Oh well

Thanks 👍 good luck with the trip. I am only finishing this trip as we speak and have hit 50k KMs on the bike 😅 The videos I have up so far are from April. Many more videos to come I just stopped editing whilst travelling for now. 🙂

@@MarkiMotoYT Jeez!! You lucky sod😂!! Thanks for answering and will keep watching. Enjoy your ride!!

😂

It was called : LASER Produro Not sure if they are still available anymore.

Looking fw to see a compilation of all of your vids similar to 27:30

32:35 shit just got real :D

Indeed, tis my excuse for why this one took longer to get out while I thought of some extra bits to add in 😄

Funny thing I noticed when reviewing the drone footage there is a bit where someone had dropped their bike on a corner 👀

Fair comment and I have started to do this more, might be a while before it's seen since this footage is still relatively early into the trip 😄. I will have a think about what other methods might help convey location as it has been something I've been thinking about improving.

Thanks 👍 unfortunately I am almost done with the trip having used the same mic throughout so not much I can now. Perhaps I will see if I can clean up the audio files.

@@MarkiMotoYT You could always overdub your videos to fix it.
