I have the Reckless 10L on my 2020 ktm 500 and I love it, but I was looking at getting either the Reckless 10 or 40 for my 2024. Is the Reckless 40 to big for day rides or is the 40 only necessary for multi-day trips?

I do not have a motorbike but a casual human-powered mountain bike. Have had issues with the X2 recording some 10 or 15 seconds when riding - just wondering if it is indeed the vibration that shuts the thing down. I also have the first of the series, ONE X, and do not have any problems with it in any vibration condition. I just hope they would have stated that vibration issue in the web shop in the first place… I wonder if I can get my X2 changed at warranty asi I do not have much use for a camera that shuts down when there’s vibration…

The thing costs you $50 per 100 kilometers? wtf...

Your video just lifted a whole lot of stress of my head as my KTM is doing that exact thing, so all being well and good. I now have the answer to fix it thanks for the video very helpful.

Fantastic video thank you!

Wonder if going with a 15W-50 would help. Or even a 20W-50 on hot a desert trip.

Do you know if this has VHF? And can you communicate with other handhelds?

I bought a pair after your review, i have to say im impressed with the phone quality and the fm radio service. Good unit.

Hey Keith … thanks for the helpful videos. Just wanted to point out that the torque setting of 10Nm in this video may not be correct. I only found out after I had oil weeping from the sprocket area so I re-checked & found out that it should actually be 60Nm.

Thank you! Had this problem that all leds flash. Fixed it! THANK YOU!! ❤

I have 2023 KTM 450 exc-f but I don't have dash light indicator. I still have the issue of all four led indicators flashing at the same time. how do I connect the diodes in this case?

Hi Keith - whats your experience with Garmin Inreach Mini (I have v1) and how it displays on Flytrace? I have been troubleshooting an issue (no updates for over 1 year - now working thankfully - not sure what I did exactly to fix it). On the map display - my position is always a YELLOW flag and if I don't have custom messages displayed - then the text on the detail window of the 'pilot' on the Flytrace map view is "LANDED (Ok)". When I change to have custom messages displayed, I still get YELLOW flag but the text on the detail window of the 'pilot' on the Flytrace map view is what I had configured for the Garmin Inreach Mini 'Preset Messages' (1,2 and 3). Is this normal? Please let me know ... thanks 🙏👍 I believe with spot devices, you get a red ballon icon with the pilot / rider initial inside the icon and a 'ON TRACK' message (associated with button 1) and Yellow Flag and Blue Flag for the other 2 spot buttons. spot.flytrace.com/Tracker/help/commonhelp.aspx

Thanks. It helped a lot

what microphone setting on the rino do you use

An incredibly helpful video, thank you saved me a lot of headscratching

Great Video! Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Klassz volt! Magyarország, Budapest. Itt is van egy ilyen barlang! MOLNÁR JÁNOS cave 6000 m!!!

No rant Keith. Good advice for those who don't know. Well done!

Bonjour Keith,le piston vous ne l avez jamais changer ?et chaîne de distribution ? Merci😊

Receiving sound level too low. Both radios need to be turned up high. It worked for a couple of weeks then no connection and PTT didn’t connect. Sena said connected but no receiving and no sending even with radios direct sending button….. DONT WASTE MONEY

Do i spot some HighWayDirtbike bars?

Nice review, bought the intercom and regretted it. Has a lot of features, none of them work. Here are the list of issues: 1) intercom connection breaks over 60km/h between devices even though my passenger is right behind me😂 2) phone call quality is really bad, like no noise cancelation is applied. Peaple can't really hear me well. My 2017 vnetphone v6 had this feature and people had no idea i was riding a motorcycle. 3) when connected to phone and to other intercom, if you receive a call, the other intercom still hears what you are talking?!?😂 4) Music sharing, you can share music to other intercom, but you cannot talk to each other😢 5) when using intercom and playing fm radio at the same time, radio is playing on a single speaker😅 6) listening to music and talking to your passinger via intercom does not really work in real life (auto volume control on music does not exist) On the plus side, sound, battery and controls are good. Still, I will revert back to the trusty old v6. I really wanted to like this device, but it was a major let down 🥲

Australian outback or Baja Mexico, the same advice applies. However, we each carry a couple of Combat Applications Tourniquets (C-A-T) and know how to use them along with abdominal pads. Controlling a major bleed is one of the few very time-critical issues that must be managed immediately.

Excellent information, thanks!

Hey Keith - Love your Videos! Great checklist and I agree with it, but I wanted to know why you carry a spare injector? (I carry a spare fuel pump for the same bike as yours)

Couple questions; What octane fuel did you commonly use? Fuel generally had ethanol or not? Did you use fuel additives? Any negatives to vortex ecu? Would you do Cush drive again or not worth the $? Any mods you still want to do? Any mods you wish you had NOT done? In searching for the ideal KTM 500, could you comment on model years to Look for/avoid? What, if any, satellite communication would you recommend? Keep up the good work; You are an inspiration!

Make sure you have air ambulance and carry essentials

Fair call, in the West (WA) most adv rides are remote, so best to be prepared and know your bike!

Guilty as charged, you Honour...

Nice to see another Nerd on the job, I have check lists for everything, no point in forgetting anything important. Makes life simple if you don't have to rack your brain every time you go on a trip, also easy to refine the list see what you didn't actually use and remove it. Great Job Keith, I'm a fan of your videos. 👍

Prior preparation prevents piss poor performance. Great advice Keith.

Great video iv been looking for something like this I ride nearly every Saturday or Sunday I’m not really interested in text or tracking I just want it for the sos function only ride weekends what’s your recommendation

No rant there my friend!.. that was nothing but solid advise! Thank you ..& thanks for the checklist!

Interested to see a comprehensive video on every thing you would to the bike and gear before going.. for example - im in the process of loctiting, torque checking and replacing all critical bolts with safety wired bolts if possible. And other tips like carrying multiple smaller water bladders so if one leaks youre not screwed.

Take a spare fuel pump if you ride a Austrian..

Biggest mistake I've seen people make is overloading bikes. Carrying the kitchen sink etc....

so many of you like to commit self harm or for what??

Personally, my single biggest enlightenment I've ever had was in regards to alcohol. Fuck alcohol. I grew up with mountains everywhere, do stuff many ordinary people would call crazy and irresponsible in summer and winter. Everyone who is a remotely trustworthy person knows that you do not drink alcohol in the mountains. The same is true for any situation where you need to be focused, need to know your body, your limits and have sharp senses to be able to constantly adapt to anything coming your way. Alcohol is poison, it kills you. It kills your rational, it kills your next day, it kills your fitness. And in the wrong place, it sooner or later kills you. I am not talking the odd beer with friends at sunset ever so often, that one beer is delicious. Just keep it at that one beer. Or better, keep it clean and don't even start a potentially catastrophic evening by opening your first can of beer. Ride safe!

common sense is often lost on folk - fail to prepare: prepare to fail.... Oh and that bike in the desert with what looked like 60kilo of baggage hahahaha, my god man - really?

I wouldn't say this is a rant just good advice & an excellent checklist to our biking community, thanks

Some great advice there Keith, and the checklist is the icing on the cake 👍🏼👍🏼

Tip: A 21" tube will work in a 18" back wheel.

That was the best example of some really wise words. Don't really mind your channel either 👍👍👍

Thanks for your efforts Kieth. I'm planning a trip next year on my 950 adv across Oz (West to east), I'm confident the trip will be a success. I've taken plenty of note from your trips.

Injury or illness is a massive consideration. You will find out the hard way like I did with an onset of a health condition going into a big trip. Life will throw you a curve ball.

I have a 450l as adventure bike, oil changes every 5k kms will do

I can connect to my Sena SMH5... but I can hear anything or transmit

I still have my 2014 500 that now has 15,500 miles on it. Like you, I’ve done just about everything and gone everywhere, including MX track racing, Hare Scrambles, desert racing, mountains etc without fail! It’s by far the best motorcycle I’ve ever had in 50 years of riding!

Je voulais savoir peut on l appareil en langue francaise?

Bonjour, a t-il la fonction les 3 effets sonore pour écouter la musique? Merci
